Arcology Void (Patreon)

Dimensions - [18 x 14] grid squares @ 140 pixels per square

So many of you have been asking for a cyberpunk arcology battle map for quite some time now. I had to hold off on this one before because an environment like this naturally lends itself to map extensions, exploring the different areas of this self-sustaining ecosystem. After a few month of deliberating and research, I decided finally to go for it.

The look and feel of this arcology was heavily inspired by the 2012 film “Dredd”. “Peach Tree” was what they called the building. The film is amazing and I urge those of you who haven’t yet watched it to go do so. The movie covered so many potential areas for expansion that I now have a bucket just overflowing with ideas.

I do have plans to expand this area and the next map will be the apartment interiors. After that, I’ll run a poll on Patreon to see how you guys feel about me creating a few more maps to flesh things out a bit. Areas such as a drug lab, skate park, lower lobby, affluent tiers, corridors, apartment variants etc are all viable. If the votes go sideways, it's all good. We’ll just move on to other maps away from the arcology.

With this map pack, I present to thee with three variants:

Arcology Void

This area houses the middle-class residents. Nothing here is fancy and every apartment mirrors the one adjacent to it. It's all about economy of space. Folks here just do what they can to get by.

The map depicts the central well/gathering area of each sector (or floor level). The area splinters off via narrow corridors that lead to more apartments.

A key highlight of this level is a medical clinic situated against the west wall. A stairwell and elevator at the south-eastern corner allows for access to floors above and below the current one.

Sector 33

Sector 33 is a community focused floor. Still middle-classed but the residents of this arcology tend to gravitate to this level to mingle for some reason. Perhaps, it’s because there’s a massive mini-mart along the west wall? There’s also a pawn shop present on this level for your players to buy/sell/investigate.

Sector 14 - Slums 

Now this area gets interesting. Sector 14 sits at a lower echelon and the residents here are suffer from extreme poverty. Half of them are homeless but they manage to squat around the void with makeshift tents assembled with tarp and whatever other junk they find lying around.

The silver lining for these squatters is that they live rent-free and don’t pay for energy. The main reason they squat here is to siphon free energy from the generator.

Many demonstrations were made by the paying residents of this sector, demanding that the squatters be removed. They did not appreciate the squatters defecating outside their doors and treating the corridors as makeshift toilets. The squatters know too well not to **** where they eat and sleep.

Eventually, the building corporate installed security gates to try and alleviate the problem. The gate idea was mostly successful but now and then, residents still find surprises greeting them at their front doors when they get home from work. Hmm.

See you guys on the next map - “Arcology Apartments”.
