Valdenbursko – Realistic Start
Hi!
I present to you the next map from my ‘Realistic Start’ series. This time it’s Valdenbursko/Valdenburgia.
A once very prospering and industrialised region suffered heavy casualties during the war, can you face the challenge of bringing it back to its former glory?
The backbone of the economy of Valdenburgia is the Valdenburk – Zbraslavice region. The capital, after which the region is named, is also the biggest city around. Its big railway station was not very impacted by the war, and the industrial region remians almost untouched.
Another fate met Zbraslavice. The city experienced a big boom in the 1920s as the Toprus&Co company decided to build a steel mill there, along with a tram network to deliver workers to it. The mill’s transport infrastructure is sadly in a terrible state right now.
Not very far from it, we find Postupice. This little town is also relatively young and it is home to the region’s coal mines. The material from mines used to be carried by trucks to the processor, and from there by trucks to a train, where coal would be reloaded and brought downhill by the train. For this purpose, the town was equipped with concrete slab roads shortly before the war.
Another interesting point on our map is the city of Valoka. It used to serve as a destination to very rich tourists. Some decided to stay and build their own industries there, which are now at your disposal. Valoka is home to the local textile and plastics industry.
We also have Vroutek, where an abandoned cement plant has its home.
A interesting part of the landscape which I have not mentioned yet is the Autobahn. It is in a surprisingly good condition, so you might use it for your own purposes, it only needs a few minor fixes! Its construction was started shortly before the war and was supposed to connect the north-east with the south-west. However, because of the start of the conflict, construction ended on the suburbs of Zbraslavice, maybe you can finish it?
Of course there is much more to discover and fix, have fun!
