Thank you!

So I played through it awhile. My biggest gameplay complaint is the weapons damage output. Running around and dying every few moments because all the B1's carry a rapid-fire two-shot kill rifle, and that's one of the weaker units.

Believe me, I was doing the same thing a long time ago in my TCW mod. I stopped after I got a lot of feedback about how it wasn't fun to the players.

Secondly, the required points to unlock a unit is way too high. Rule of thumb is no more than around 20 points to unlock the final unit.

Next up, a huge problem. There is no acceptable reason the mod should be almost a full GB uncompressed. You included the repshell and cisshell files, don't need those except for Galactic Conquest. More importantly, 600 MB for the REP side? Really? Okay. Let me compare that to my TCW mod. I have 7 clone legions randomly selected. Then I have the CIS side. All together, they amount to 990 MB. 600 MB for one side is unacceptable. I work with very limited hard drive space, I can't afford one map to be taking up a full GB, most will be the same way.

If you're using any 2048x2048 scale textures in the clone side, don't. 1024x1024 is perfectly acceptable, the quality difference is hardly noticeable. It's 4 times the size for 2048 and you're not getting 4 times the quality.

Remove anything from the rep.req that you're not using, it wastes space.

Also, your loadscreen is 40 MB large. It doesn't have to be, reduce its scale in half. It'll go down to 10 MB, that's acceptable.

OK, I think that should be more than enough to play the map. And now we have a problem, cause I don't know what the problem could be. You can try to download and install it again and hope it works then. Or you can wait to the next version, then download it and hope it works.

Ok, I fixed that. There were a lot 2048x2048 big textures because Ande used it as the size of his tcw trooper's texture and I copied it and reskinned it many times for the different clone troopers on my map. But now also the loadscreen lvl size is fixed (there were 3 loadscreens munged into the lvl because I tested something sometime ago) and the whole map has around 450 MB now.

Thanks!

EDIT: @noMatt: the idea with the freezer is good, I'm creating it right now!

Hidden/Spoiler:

I'm pretty sure you'd have to attatch a light to the .msh, and when they die, the bodies would fade away, but not the lights. So towards the end of the battle you would have a bunch of random lights scattered around the map, which would be annoying.
