Alderaan: Crystal Valley

revision and I won't remember the original map, or the review. However this one stuck with me, and I got excited just seeing it's name in the review queue. I got even more excited after playing it. It's like the [file=102745]first release[/file] of this map on steroids. While the first version of this map played in a more linear fashion, this new version places the bases in locations that allow for frontal and flank attacks. My only complaint with the previous version was that the vast expanses of field made the map seem rather bland. That has been fixed by adding trees, rocks and blending the grassy fields to eliminate the redundant look of the texture. The map looks beautiful. The crystal canyon part of the map, which isn't passable by ground units is still wonderful to look at, but is now nicely complimented by the rest of the map. Epic battles are certain to take place in this beautiful valley. This map is one that's staying in my custommaps folder. the_stag
My personal preference is toward large maps. Really, the larger, the better. There's no such things as a map that's too big... ok I think you get the point. Often times I will go to review a map
