    Description:
    Endor is a small tree village. Formerly inhabited by families of grunts, these tree house structures have been abandoned for years.

    The look of this map is loosely taken from images of the Ewok Village in Star Wars with a little bit of Swiss Family Robinson thrown in. It is built in a small back section of Ghost town and is ideal for 2v2, although it can support up to 6 players. In the main area there are two circular wooden huts perched up in the trees as well as a catwalk where the sniper can be found. From the tree huts there are two ramps that will lead you to a second and third level. There are two ways to get to the other section of the map. You can take the direct route through the building, or the side alley which will give you access to the BR Base and also the back tunnels. The BR Base is where the flag spawns in CTF. There is an elevator that will launch you up to the platform if you don't want to take the ramps in front. A Power Drain is also located here inside of the bright green open box. I really feel like this map makes you forget you are playing on Ghost Town and transports you to a distant forest moon.

    Thank you to all who helped test. I added a couple of ramps for greater mobility, fixed some spawn points and changed the position of the flag. Thanks again for your input.

    Wow i remember seeing this in the tester's guild, although i didn't actually test it. this map is really unique-interlocking on non-Foundry is generally a *****. 4.5/5, only because i see very slight gameplay issues.

    Well wow it looks really cool! I haven't ever seen anyone do so much interlocking and work on asthetics (however u spell that hah) on ghost town before and it looks really good to me! Looks like a great 2v2 map, but honestly to me (haven't checked it out, just looking at pics) that it could work for zombies lol. (just seems like it'd be fun because of how the map layout and asthetics are, like if you add some effects to it to make it dark for zombies, sounds fun to me) Nice job :D!
    EDIT: Hey well I downloaded it and played normal slayer on it with a couple of friends, worked out nicely! :D

    hey I helped test this yesterday. It was overall a very good map. When we played 4v4 on it, the map felt a little crowded but it was still pretty good. I think 3v3 would work best. All the FFA gametypes we did worked fine but that one tunnel area {on the ground} was kind of a camping point if you had the shotgun and the regen. I cant say anything about CTF as you had to fix its spawning location. Spawning was sort of weak, but hopefully you fixed that with that guy.

    As for aesthetics, this is about as good as it gets. The treeshouse theme suits the map very well, and also adds many levels of combat. So all in all this is probably the best Ghost Town map I have ever seen
    4.8/5

    Tunnels

    I moved both the shotgun and the regen out of the tunnels. The shotgun now spawns under the elevator and the regen is out in the main room on the raised floor platform closest to the ground. Thanks again for your help testing yesterday. I was able to make several tweaks like that after hearing what you guys had to say.

    Great map, it really seems like you brought Ghost town back to life with all of the unique platforms you've added, as well as aesthetics and ways around the level. Your pictures really let you get a good feel for the map, and your interlocking is superb. Your ideas for aesthetics are fantastic as well. Oh and sorry, but this map isn't up to standards. You need a description of some type. But whatever, this is still an awesome map.

    *gasp* Do mine eyes deceive me? A GOOD GHOST TOWN MAP? Gadzooks!
    On a more serious note, this looks incredible! This is a completely genius concept with the otherwise least-forgeable DLC map, and undoubtedly deserves its spot in my DL queue (when my xbox comes back, of course). Well forged!

    I've always dreamed of creating a "tree" map on Ghost Town, thank you for actually making it happen! The layout is impressively well thought out, the interlocking is clean, and the aesthetics look great. Ghost Town is my favorite map, and it seems that soon Endor will become my new fav. AWESOME MAP, can't wait to play some KOTH.

    5,000,000,000,000,000,000,000/5
    But of course I wont rate till I play ;)

    After doing a forgethrough of this map I am disappointed by the sloppy walls used to block off the rest of the map. They really take away from the awesome aesthetics of the tree forts.

    I am to a ghost town forger. I have tried many times to do something like this with the trees in ghost town but my ideas are bust. You have really done something special on this map. Please if you are interested in ghost town check on my sig daily on this next week. I have finished my newest ghost town map and will also be putting up a new thread entitled support ghost town. Nice job on the map 5/5

    Seriously, this map seems to be, in my opinion, the most well-made map or even the best map made on Ghost Town. I like the story, it's very original, but 'abandoned' is so over-used.

    I really love those hill spawns or tree-like structures, they really stand out. Really, KoTH looks extremely intense here. You're truly an amazing forger with such gifted skills. Excellent job, man.

    My god. I'd so totally vote this as best Non-Foundry if I haven't voted for Castlanche. Awesome design, never would have thought of it. I'm downloading this now.

    I remember seeing this on the TRC and I was amazed and saddened that I couldn't test. This looks amazing and I love the idea of the treehouses. Very original map that was executed very well. 4.7/5

    first off I would like to say i have NEVER seen a NON-Zombie map on Ghostown that looks, plays great, and has a theme. You truley fufilled the challenge of forgining on a moderatly hard to forge on map. Also great originality haven't seen a Remade star-wars enviroment other than Hoth
