With all these Enclave maps, I'm going to be an expert at reviewing them soon! I must say, though, that we've yet to see a bad one. This map is no exception, and might in fact have a bit more detail than some of the others as well. Previously not seen details, such as footlockers and workbenches, are quite at home in this particular enclave. With textures close enough to the real thing to not be noticed as fabricated, but definitely not ported, you may forget you're playing Jedi Academy and not Knights of the Old Republic.
The strengths in this map are definitely the very close-to-the-real-thing textures, as well as the very accurate style. Two of the most impressive bits, however, may be the Ebon Hawk, seemingly made completely from brushes instead of the existing Ebon Hawk map objects, and the impressive blba tree model. I must admit, months ago I was asked to create that particular model, but I shamefully declined. However my kudos go to SMoKE for completing it himself with excellent results.
While this map is not as expansive as some other Enclave maps - it does not allow you to venture inside the Ebon Hawk, or venture outside the Enclave walls - it's definitely worth a look for KotOR fans. It includes bot routing, as well as appropriate Jedi Enclave music. Definitely worth a download as another great KotOR Jedi Enclave map.
It seems the enclave has gotten a visual overhaul. Smoke decided that the original wasn't up to his current skill level, so he spruced it up a bit. Personally I'd say the biggest improvement (and he may disagree with me on this) is the lighting -- it makes me personally more able to enjoy the rest of the wonderful changes. Second place goes to the doors. I'm not even going to tell you about them -- just go open one and find out. You'll like it.
Overall it seems like this is more of a fixer-upper. Everything is crisper, clearer, and overall better on the eyes. It's a great improvement, though, and it really feels a lot more like Dantooine than before, just by making a few changes to the map's presentation. The only thing it needs now is some Jedi walking around saying old Chinese proverbs! Definitely a great improvement here!

Author's note:
==============
- I know alot of people will ask why I didn't make the Ebon Hawk interior, and the answer is simple, but somewhat hard to explain:
When you are inside the Ebon Hawk in KotOR, it's MUCH bigger than it is when you're outside. And so, making those two pieces fit
would be practically impossible. This be also the reason why I didn't make the loading ramp leading to the Hawk's interior, in
case anyone wanted to know.
- I also know alot of people will ask why I didn't make the Dantooine plains while I was at it, and there are several reasons:
It would be extremely hard to make it look alright, considering the shape of the "hills" that are out there. If I for some
reason should be able to make it, the map would be too big, or, I would have to place "invisible walls" everywhere, to limit the
area. And if there are things I really hate in a map, it's "invisible walls".
- Additionally, if anyone's going to ask why the skybox is so easy to hit, that would be because the structure of the original map
itself did not open up for alot of bunny-jumping. It would just mess up alot, and sometimes allowing the jumping player to see
over the walls and into the rooms beyond it, which I do not want to happen - but it is regretable anyway.
And so, as those three questions above has been answered here in the read-me, I will not be answering them later on, so don't ask.
