Help with my city!

Posted by SamTheWox on 20 August 2016 in English.

Hi. I’m new here and I need help with my city. It’s in Commonia and it is next to City of Charlington.

Thanks, Sam The Wox

Welcome to the OGF community!

I think you should do the mapping part yourself, but I’ll give you a few tips for mapping in Commonia.

It is a poor, undeveloped country undergoing a civil war. Modern infrastructure is rare. Don’t overuse highways.
New users often think “oh look, an english town, a german town, boom I’m gonna place a spanish town here.” No. Please respect the surroundings.
Don’t make the city too large. Small, detailed villages are often nicer than huge grey areas with “population=5,000,000”, a few trunkroads and nothing else.
It’s a blue country. That means there’s going to be a lot of “quality level trash” mapping breaking all the rules above. There are people fixing it, but the process is slow and is often ruined by new unaware users.
Check Commonia’s page on our Wiki.

Hope this helps. Eklas from Drabantia
