New Maps Territory Ideas!

[djanico]

This is a old post of mines.. id like to bring it up again to see if others can bring out some cool map ideas =D Love to make bear island a little bit bigger

 

+ Empty Highway to nowhere -  A long stretch of Highway (continuing the coastal highway) going through the wilderness..The highway stretches around a winding mountain.. with a steep cliff drop to one side then winds down to a flat landscape of emptiness. Up on the high end of the cliff side  there's a huge pileup of cars just frozen solid in a giant collision with a tipped over Log TractorTrailor (Could be the log tractors delivering from coastal highway map) giant logs spilled all over the place. Corpses still in the cars as a result of fatal collision. You must navigate through the mess to continue down the road. A small Rest area on the highway abandoned. (possible man made shelter) the highway ends at a long broken suspension bridge crossing the ocean to the mainland bridge is of course in shambles, gigantic pileup blocking and severe damage/missing suspensions . The bridge ramp will have a maintenance door leading down to some basic tool supplies. Somewhere in the middle of the highway will have a smaller road intersecting it with its on and off ramps and a gas station/restaurant/bar. There will be a road sign saying "Route 61A North - Great Bear's ski Lodge" on one side, and "61A South - Chippewa" on the other. The small gas station is nearby all empty and neglected. A very small trailer park Sunnyville is nearby the gas station with a few trailer homes.

Great Bear Forest / Emergency Rescue: Considering the logging operations running in Great Bear.. would be nice to add a huge expansive Forrest! Make it pretty dense and very difficult to see far range with possibly just one emergency man shelter (Timberwolf style). Traversing the Forrest should be time consuming, long and difficult. This expansive forest settles in between the Ski Lodge and Chippewa town but borders the highway. On the opposite end of the map is hill that will  have a a very small airfield with two frozen/destroyed helicopters, one is on its side destroyed, maybe half sliding off the mountain as it attempted to take off but failed catastrophically.. debris scattered everywhere.  the other is semi intact. this one has an open bay as most rescue choppers have with some 1st aid supplies. A Small Control Tower with a Maintenance Hangar and a "red cross rescue flag" flag post with the flag waiving in the wind. a refuel vehicle beside the hangar which contains workbench / tools etc, and a small facility for the rescue men to live and eat. some bunk beds,  a small kitchen etc... . 

+ Ski Lodge: The side road that came off the Highway above will lead to a landscape semi rugged with high hills,and a mountain with a small ski lodge on top. The Ski lodge is abandoned, due to the economic strife that hit Great bear.. the business closed down. There's the main lodge itself and some small cabins for guests to rent. There will be the typical ski lift that had its wires broken and the seats splashed all over the place on the snow. An intact cable wire zips down one side of a very deep ravine where small tram would move people from one side of the mountain to another (Will you dare to zip across the cable braving bottomless ravine? Run out of stamina and its bye bye) at the other side is a small station for skiers to hang out with a small winter bar, The skiers prep area to go down the other side of the mountain. This map can connect adjacent to Timberwolf Mountian range.

+ Chippewa: The other side of that same 61A going away from the lodge is Chippewa, a very small town which is nestled in a valley between a huge mountain. Unfortunately for you, Chippewa was victim to a GIGANTIC Avalanche with 80% of the town completely buried in snow. You can only make out a few rooftops, also a colossal boulder  came careening down the mountain with it and wiped out a good chunk of the town as well. You can see the gouged trail leading from the side of the mountain where that monster rock just slid down and ate the town. Smaller ones smashing into cars and the side of a house or two. There are only a select few houses/markets still intact and some houses semi accessible due to being half buried in the snow. The rest of the terrain is semi flat leading to the Great Bear Forest, It has a river where the highway ended with an abandoned small furniture factory roof caved in and exposed to the elements. (possibly destroyed by fire?) Where they would pickup the logs delivered and manufacture them. There is also a small frozen Marina with several boats locked in place. One has a small bed inside and is habitable. 

 

 

Thoughts?

Good ideas! It would be neat if we had to dig our way into some of the buildings in Cooperstown

And thus the reason to have a portable shovel with you =D

According to the Great Bear Island map, it looks like another coastal stretch of roads is well on its way.

This is an old post i made a few years ago.. really would be nice if they made Great bear more expansive and continue to make it difficult to navigate =D
