Swamp City Battle

Description
"Swamp City Battle" is a new edition of DragonX95's earlier [url=http://starwarsbattlefront.filefront.com/file/Swamp_City_Battle;97182]Swamp City Battle (v2.0)[/url]. This version appears to have some minor tweaks to the environment and some bugfixes.

Swamp City Battle is, essentially, Mos Eisley. Yes, it has a different sky and there are trees (the predominant theme is "green" - see: buildings), but with the aid of the ubiquitous Tatooine city buildings, it is very hard to escape the thought that Tatooine suddenly just got very, very wet.

Which, in and of itself, may not be a bad thing - the idea for the setting is not a bad one, if it is somewhat derivative. The map is ok, but the setting itself (its setup) could use some work. The trees feel very unnatural, both in and around the city, and there is no real border at the horizon which, on such a flat (oh so very flat) map, looks pretty odd. I also found it somewhat odd that there was a sandcrawler sitting around in a clearly not-sandy environment (although it lends credence to the "wet Tatooine" statement from above).

It's an ok map, but needs to have some work done on making the environment feel a little more real - make sure that things match (instead of randomly using props), make sure that you've got terrain variation if you're going to have any foliage at all, and make sure that your map doesn't feel too much like something that's already out there.

If it sounds interesting to you (or looks it), download and give it a try.
