Description: "Where is the rebel base?" In this case, it's on the planet, Hoth. Yes I know that the whole "Star Wars thing" has been done numerous times in the past. With Sandbox, it is now truly possible to make a decent map for it. Ever since Avalanche came out, I thought of building AT-AT's attacking the rebel base. Avalanche provided us with the possibility, but you couldn't build much anything else. Sandbox provides use with a wide variety of sizes and shapes for pieces, which makes the possibilities for great creations... endless.

I bring to you, my version of Hoth. Now mind you... this is not a beautifully forged map. I had to sacrifice a lot of quality to get the ambiance of Hoth. My intentions were to build the Rebel base into a mountain by using the various angled pieces to make it look like one giant mountain. Unfortunately the AT-ATs and Shuttles took up many pieces. I chose to sacrifice the aesthetics for the possibility of better gameplay. I was planning on using the Pen and Ink FX, but there was way too much glare for gameplay. It also made outside the map very dark, so I went with the Colorblind FX to make the sand look more like snow.

I now present to you... Planet Hoth.
