Map Idea : Jabiim

[Sentenza]

(sorry for bad english =)

If anyone can make this , my idea its about a map of the planet Jabiim , taken from the expanded universe comics from DarkHorse (SW Republic #55 to #58 ), during the clone wars era..

the map idea is pretty simple and use things from the other maps ; Jabiim looks similar too Naboo with hills , rocks , not many trees , the planet its under an heavy rain storm and the terrain is muddy with some water pools and some grass , but mainly mud...

I think the ground textures of Yavin 4/Endor/Tatooine (but with a more brown/muddy look) would be good (but without bushes and less grass) and maybe a more dark/mud look. Rain effects from Yavin is good as well. For the sky , yavin sky is good , but without the big red one (the planet yavin) and maybe with some gunship star destroyer , droid ship , floating around...

the background and story its something like this : the clone army is sent to Jabiim by the republic to sedate the insurrection of the local militia , and in the first parte of the battle the clone army fight against this local army lead by a general who leads troop with blaster , vibroblade and jet boots in a guerrilla kinda war...later the Separatist droids army arrives supporting the locals who insurrected against the republic , the local step away and the droid army take the final fight with the republic...in the end republic forces with many loss retreat from the planet aboard the gunships leaving the planet in the separatist grip...

ok besides the third party , which is the local militia , that for now cannot be implemented (they are soldiers fighting alongside the CIS army) the main fight its between the Reps and the CIS...

Battle ground should look like some valley (not too deep canyon) in the center and hills and cliffs on the side of the map.
Its an assault like map , similar to hoth , where the reps take the role of the imperials and the CIS are defending they're command posts.

In the comics republic forces uses for the first time some old looking at-at concept walker and at-xt (two legs walker , smaller then at-st) alongside classic at-te and gunships...dont know if its possible to have at-at used by republic , but just in case replace the 2 AT-TE with 1 AT-TE and 1 AT-AT and maybe add 2 At-TX to the rep side.

there are no starfighters in this battle , maybe the two sides should have some speedbikes and STAP , but there aren't in the comics.
strategically Its some kinda Hoth meet Rhen Var Harbour but on Jabiim! =)

Now that is a plan! woot

Map size should be something like Geonosis i think

I think those kind of plans would really help any mappers who would be interested in making maps with other's ideas. I actually have one as well that i have been wanting to see done in a star wars game for a while now. I'l post it up when i get home tonight.

Yeah, I've also posted that Jabiim, as well as many other Clone Wars locations would be awesome. Your plan looks great. Eddie may want to do it, once he finishes the ones he's already started. He does great maps and recently did Dathomir off of suggestions.

Another modification can be this :

The Republic forces are just arrived to Jabiim and they did not already established the Cobalt Station Outpost , in fact they are just landed of the Republic Star Destroyer , the model can be put in place near the spawn/command , and the spawn/command could be a destroyable Landing Craft like the one the Rep have in the Geonosis map.

In this map thing should not be equally balanced , CIS army have some advantage since their better position (they arrived later then the Reps , but the locals aided them giving the better tactical positions at the start of the battle) in fact , like the story in the comics , after a fierce battle where a lot of jedi dies , Reps are forced to give up their position and flee on the Gunship...

If you want to make no Cobal Station , you can replace it with the Landing Craft (like in geonosis) or put a spawn/command near a Rep Destroyer landed , and the spawn name would be something like Landing Point or First Line HQ ....

For the NPC the faction are soldier with light padded armor and helmet with visor , colors are red and blue ; they use jet boots to ski down slops (like in the Tribes videogames) they use normal blaster rifle/pistol and det charge (like the wookie) , and some kinda vibroblade if its possible
In the comics this faction name its simply Rebels or Separatist of Jabiim and they shoul start owning the Monsoon Mesa ruined village. BTW like i said before i dont know if its possible to make other type of soldier/npc

About the map geo : around the main battlefield (that is the valley and the hills around) there should be some other hills and plains like you see in the landscape of Naboo. But (if its possible) in the lower part (behind the Razor Coast Garrison) and right part (right of the Moonson Mesa hill) there should be cliffs and /shores looking down in to the sea (deep , you cant go there) and in that direction , only sea at eyesight.
