Description:

WORKS ONLY WITH NEWEST BETA (the one with Garbage and Maintenance).
I renamed the Southeast border to just SE-Border, because it came back to my mind that black Mesa is in Texas and HL2 takes place in eastern europe(?). Shame on me for calling myself a Half-Life Fan…

This Map is based on a Wall-Map i found in the Rebel Base Lighthouse in one of my favourite games of all time. It most likely shows the area that you travel during the chapter "Highway 17" ("New little Odesa" or N.L.O. for example is one of the stations that you cross, and of course the lighthouse).
The Landscape, Roads and Railways and are not totally accurate, i build the map more with the emphasis on comfortable playability in realistic mode and my own beauty standards. The existing roads and railways are very simple, hope they are not shi*t, i deleted all semaphores as far as i know. All Custom Houses are big ones, and have a Power and an Oil connection (didn’t make sense to me that you have to research this stuff while you can already build oil wells and pipes. Also 3Division, please make the distribution office a starting tech. The new research system is very immersive but this is just pain 😀 ).

There are no Buildings on the map that make workers go there at the start of the game and become unhappy, just some warehouses and docks (and a little mine in the north). I placed wind-powered firestations at "shorepoint base" "N.L.O." and the Coast Town in the North, so you can protect them from burning down if you want.

Have Fun 🙂

P.S.: I renamed the Southeast border to just SE-Border, because it came back to my mind that black Mesa is in Texas and HL2 takes place in eastern europe(?). 😀 Shame on me.

P.P.S.: Since the map might be too easy for some of you, maybe try playing without hiring workers for money. After all, the Combine Invasion has devastated the human population and the neighbouring countries need every capable person to rebuild themselves.
