Hey , so i thought i´d share a little about my map here , i will post progress pictures later on but for now you can get a firs glimps here :

The Map itself is about 35 KM in Length and an average of about 8KM in width , the idea i follow is creating a map that has a feel similar to broville but geared towards usage with mods and stylistically more influenced by reality you can see what i mean when you look at the infrastructure , you will notice that a great deal of attention has been give to the numerous roads , i also included a Subway System (currently encompassing 2 Lines with 3 and 4 Stations correpsondingly , and some sewers .
So what do i mean by , the feel beeing similar to broville: well i made interriors for all buildings ,so unlike in a lot of the other big maps this one is not just an empty shell , though it is by no means as diverse ( so for example in broville you have different rooms , here you mostly get copied rooms with slight variations ) ,many buldings have hand built interriors though.
In Terms of Mods , i am trying to keep the Map Vanilla till Minecraft reaches a state of Technological Maturity , that is why i avoid using modded Blocks for Building , I however Design the Map for Use with Flans Mod ( No Fake Vehicles , Airports etc) , Traincraft ( Subway is not cart based like with Broville but made with actual Stations) , an Elevator Mod,
Real Trains Mod/ Rails of War , i am also planning to include a heavy rail system in the later stages ( i already made the Main Station ( @Metro Station Parliament[LInes B,C and Airport Train]) to be compatible with either Mod ( in terms of Structure Gauge and Seperation) and concidered the later line placemend in the world Painting , lastly i like using Zepelin Mod , but the Ships i build are way to big for Minecraft to ever manage it ^^
Transportation is mainly based on roads though with the main City having a tightly knit network of surface and subsurface roads , outside the City , there currently is a 25 mile highway running from Caprica City in the north to the Border in the south , on the way it connects to a couple of smaller roads , most of this is very much unfinished work but i am realy happy about the detail of the infrastructure and am confident in saying that of all the big maps with roads , mine have the most detailed and logically laid out system,
The idea for the project evolved with the map , i actualy startet it as a survival game , when my main base had all it needed i started building a city around it , this gradualy morphed into the project you see today, though nothing of the original build remains as it was stylistically not suiting to the new idea , i am a university Student ( Studying Law and Economics) so i mostly do minecraft recreationaly ( or maybe for procrastination ^^ ) , this is why progress is slow but very steady .
I´d also like to say that anyone who would like to contribute a Building(or Buildings) or help me with work on any aspect of the world is very welcome to do so :-)
