Metro Manila

Post by firsal901 »

Just thought of the concept. I know the place well (live near there)
here's map to get a sense of it :

If made, will not copy the map ( just the city boundaries)

It's not a city that in and of itself will excite many people, despite its size and history. (We have no map of Paris yet.) And it's shape is far from perfect for a game map. But if you can devise something interesting enough in the way of gameplay these disadvantages oughn't to prove fatal.

Well, I've thought of some features to make it stand out, like starting from city halls,LRT lines give bonuses and others. Let's just see if others like it.

A quick check...
1. Manilla is a city on Classic
2. If you use the rivers and that small mountain range near Marikina City and Wack Wack Greenhills to create some impassables, it could be worthwhile.
Encouragement to try it... :)
