Maps: Should they be more active?

[JediMasterEd]

Should there be more activity than just a plain map? On a desert map, maybe a spaceport filled with passive Bounty Hunters and civilians with ships flying in and out of the screen. On Endor, Ewoks roaming about. On Hoth, maybe a portion or Echo Base.

I would love to see some urban maps, with civilians walking around!

[fido4fox]

an urban map would be awesome. I think I may try to develop one if I ever get any extra time!!

I think we will be seing more urban type buildings e.g Coruscant. So these maps could be a good possiblity.

[Crazy_dog no.3]

Me too. I would like to see Coruscant have civvies.

[_HaZeKniGhT]

No!! The maps are great. Theres no reason to fix what is not broken.

[JediMasterEd]

But their boring. The only things moving is your allies/enemies and animals. Nothin else. But if you add the civilians, building, and civilian ships, the place would be very active.

[TheMadDoofer]

Even on fast computers, entire cities with individual citizens would create a lot of lag. So I think we should stick to creative scenario building.

In one of Eets's scenarios (not sure if it was realesed or not yet) is a small (very small) Mos Espa like spaceport. People roam the streets, a Ronto, and a Mynock scurrying around. It looks pretty good actually.

 

Pretty Cool

[Kal Of Corellia]

Civies would be awsome u could like slauter them all and they could't do anything about it

[DashRendar]

Well, if you use pre-existing models then its illikely that they will be defenseless...sheesh I almost got killed by attacking the Ronto!

[JediMasterEd]

TheMadDoofer does have a point. It would lag a lot...it its big. if it was just in the middle, probably in a sectioned cut off area, and a medium sized starport/town/base/city, dependant of the area, would acually be nice...maybe not Coruscant but all of the other areas.

[Squires]

I agree, the maps in this game can be boring at times. This is the first non C+C RTS game I've really got into. In C+C there would be maps that have a neutral base in there that attacks anything that comes in range of it.

Civilian areas would be cool to. Like mos eisly on tatooine map.

I think they should make the ewoks into a civilization. There not too much more primitive than the gungans

[Emperor Dan]

Here's the thing: I tried making a map this way, and here's the problem. A) There's wayyyy too much lag. B) It's just not needed. While it's cool to see AT-ATs romping through cities, there's no point. And I can't build anything there! Boooo.

 

So: Cool idea, but doesn't work for a normal game. Leave it for scenarios.
