Mustajoki

Mustajoki - Moskva - Moscow

Trivia
Something seems to have gone horribly wrong, you arrive along the 'Black river' and find uninhabited ruins. Something must have happened. You buy the land from the UN, promising to "rebuild a habitable city" on the site. You remember as a small child there was a catastrophic war, that forced you to grow up in a bunker. Your parents died when you where young, they got unspeakably sick, like they where to have melted to death in front of your eyes. You don't like to remember this part of your life. However, you remember something about a 'Wladmir Puttin' who attempted to kill everybody and everything, he narrowly failed. He is assumed to have died in the process. Talk around the water-cooler is that he had launched a small per-empitive strike on this country called "Nato", when he failed to steal some place called "Narva". This then led to a total response that wiped his "Rassian" nation of the map, losing it's capability to respond further. The planet has now today gone through some limited terra-forming and drastic intervention into it's ecosystem, it's becoming habitable again, several cities have been resettled. Our Moon even got hit in the process, disrupting the ecosystem further, when some Rassian nukes misfired and strayed into space.

Name behind map
The Russian name is essentially a east Slavic pronouncing of the Finnic Musta -> Muska -> Musk[v]a etc. you get the point. I chose this name because when searching the workshop I found over 30 Moscow maps and I also wanted to create a different version of a Moscow map than already exists.

The map's info
I put in extra effort to make the map feel more 'believable', most often in Cities you get are ready paved with very, very little hints of previous human existence. Normally you would find evidence of why the abandonment occurred and there's usually also at least some buildings left. This also forces the player to decide, should you sacrifice one ruin and build something new OR keep the ruins (maybe as a city park?). The ruins themselves aren't perfect for this setting, but they where the best I could find on the workshop (if you have better proposals let me know, I may employ them in the next map). This map is for my part experimental, if you have feedback, I might work that into the next map, I’m thinking of *maybe* making a map where Russia wiped out a western city. :)
Oh, and the map is 1:1 scale.

And, this is fiction, so don't come kill me :)
