This looks amazing. Good luck and I would be happy to play it if it's finished.
Best

Man, I am excited to see this map pack. It sounds great!
So you are looking for more of a military line up which has a subtle difference.
It might be neat to play thru a planet taking campaign. Kind of storm the beach
head, push back the enemy resistance kind of thing.
Although a saving private ryan or dirty dozen kind of behind the lines action
might be fun.
So, maybe a high level republic general gets shot down and/or captured and
the dragon lance have to get him out. Maybe on another map they are forced to
hold off a numerically superior force, but they only need to stall the
approaching enemy for a time.
That is great you got the sounds! I have picked up some here and there but
mostly off youtube, and mostly just the computer female voice. You can have
what I got if you think it might help.

Also, I just read some of your ideas. They sound pretty cool.

Here's the basic storyline:
The Terran Republic (the Good Guys) are at war with an evil empire
(yes, it's a cliche, but it works). Of course, all battles are
conducted with the use of huge war machines. The storyline revolves
around Dragon Lance, a set of 4 rookie mech warriors who just
graduated from the Terran academy. The game starts out with a few
training missions (which I've already created). After the last
training mission, the members of dragon lance are immediately deployed
by the Terran military and must fight to survive (and for the freedom
that is provided by the republic). Eventually, the war ends in peace
for the republic, with the empire's forces (hopefully) demolished with
the help of Dragon Lance.
BTW, I don't think I mentioned this in my first message, but the sound
effects were all taken from the MechWarrior games.

Do you mean astoryline, or maps to fill out the story?
I know the first battlemech game featured a plot where a noble family
was struck down by assassins from an unknown rival family, and the
survivor, heir to the lands and title of course, had to find a way to
discover the assassins, who hired them, and how to exact revenge to
regain his inheritance. Along the way he finds an old mech warrior
who teaches him the ropes as he does enough missions to earn money,
buy mechs, and gain a few faithful followers to help him.
Some ideas might be...
Training with the grizzled old mech warrior.
Pulling guard duty on an important structure.
Escorting some kind of vehicle as a body guard. Like rockstars and
politicians.
Laying an ambush for an advancing force. Maybe the mech is hidden in
a forest or under water Maybe have to run a rescue mission for a
downed fellow mech pilot, or recover evidence from somewhere.
Another might be to run a scouting mission, which doesn’t feature a
lot of fighting, but getting sensitive info at certain places on the
map. A communication node for instance.
Yet another...Do a beach head operation, to destroy a shield
generator, to allow the full army the player is helping attack...AKA
like Hoth with the AT AT.
Perhaps another idea may be to get evidence out of somewhere, but the
antagonist is about to glass theplanet with player and evidence,
unless the player ets to an LZ.
Hope some of those help.

Battletech
Greetings.
It's been a while since I posted here, but I've come to ask for some
ideas for a work in progress.
I'm working on a map inspired by the Battletech franchise
(Battletech/MechWarrior/MechAssault).
I need help coming up with map ideas. I have 20 types of mechs, so I
don't think I need any more.
The map pack isn't set in the battletech universe, since Battletech
and all related property is trademarked. (I can't even use the word
"Battlemech" without asking permission!)
