In Response To: SimMombasa (Jordan117) : A couple months ago, I was messing around with an old copy of SimCity 2000, : when I thought, "Hey! Bungie made a map of New Mombasa. Why not : recreate it?" So I did. : Everything in this map is as accurate as possible: the highways, the maglev : railways, the coastlines, the parks, even the date. I also tried to fit in : all the parts of the game that take place there: Hotel Zanzibar, the : suspension bridge, the space elevator, and the multiplayer maps (Turf is : at the place marked "OLD MOMBASA"; Headlong takes place just : above the statue on the southern coast of the island, etc.) : Here are some pics: Bungie's map of New Mombasa, found in Terminal : Map of modern-day Mombasa : Overview : The place where the Metropolis level takes place -- across the bridge, : underground, then through the park, onto the highway, then a left turn : onto a side street undrneath the arcologies, which leads to the small : canal, which feeds into the bigger canal, with the space elevator on the : opposite side (out of sight here). : The area near the space elevator -- including the circular roads and access : highways. : The southern half of the island -- including the real-life areas of Moi : Avenue, Kibokoni Park, and Old Town Makadara (all of which appear on : Bungie's map). Interesting point -- the most famous landmark in modern : Mombasa, giant aluminum tusks over Moi Avenue next to Uhuru Park, appear : on Bungie's map as well. They're represented on my map as statues. : Old Mombasa -- because of the way I designed the map, you can't see most of : it. Oh, well. Notice the plethora of power lines. Now, for a Disaster! how about.... oohhhh, say a Scarab? there's gotta be a monster in there that looks somewhat like a Scarab.
