Geonosian Carnage

Description
This is a space map titled Geonosian Carnage by Geroenimo; leader of the Old Republic at War mod. This map provides a unique experience as the author put a lot of effort into prop placement and the lighting of the map. By doing this he has created a more involved space experience. As for the map itself the routes between the asteroids and placement of strategic structures such as mining asteroids that provide some key points on the map. Be sure to read the author\'s description below for a more in-depth description. A link to the screenshots of this map is also provided below.

[Quote]This is a skirmish space map for Empire at war, forces of corruption, I think it can be played on normal empire at war aswell, though I never tried it.

I tried to be creative with the prop placement, since the normal asteroid placement in foc totally suck IMO. I think I did a pretty good job at it, well balanced, enough money if you can hold on to it.

There are 3 optional things you can *and really should* go for in order to get the egde and win.
1. Get to the top left side, you get a pirate station which will get you useful units, it has a defensive grid of 4 defense satellites which are spread out, that all surrounded by asteroids, with 2 entrances, both leading-coming from ones starbase. A great flanking position can be gained here.

2. The middle has 2 mining asteroids, sticking to the asteroid fields surrounding the pirate base, and a direct (though curved) path to the enemy station, this is where all major battles will be fought, you can use flanking tactics from the pirate base-route.

3. In the bottom-right side there is one extra mining asteroid, which is worth while getting because it\'s in the far corner, with 2 defense satellites facing each side, and a asteroid field in the diagonal position which doesn\'t allow for large ships to get in easily. This is a good position to defend, because of how I placed the asteroids and satellites.

I tried to make it all look natural, but no one is going to actually download this without screen shots right? And with the FF images sh*tting the bed I uploaded them to Imageshack so here they are:

As you can all see I might have gotten a little to fancy with the lighting, but I think it does look better than the normal map lighting.

Oh yea, and the planetary Ion Cannon or Hyper Velocity Gun might be a small problem because of the huge distance they have to go before reaching the battlefield, but I don\'t think that is a major issue.

This WILL be a strategical battle, but well balanced I tested both positions very well to ensure that it will be fair, so for all you strategy/tactic fans out there, enjoy![/Quote]
