Well, depends on what kind of map it is, but I guess it is some kind of modern map.

But I guess you could use street lamps in the corners, perhaps some people walking the streets. You could make a special event that happends from time to time, example a building beginning to burn and the fire brigade comes to quickly put out the fire.

I'm not entirely sure what ideas you are looking for, maybe if you gave some more details I could come up with some more ideas.

Well usually the majority of populations live in heavily urban environments so usually if you need inspiration for a megalopolitan map, all you have to do is step outside xD.


Its looks nice so far, but i would recommend getting some custom tiles (check this out) and other models. Check out hive and other model sites. There are alot of city model packs. Find:
-Street Lights
-Variety of Cars (I know they're hard to find but they're out there)
-Trash, (cities are dirty. place random papers, cans and bottles)
-Street Signs
-Heat Vents with steam
-Be creative!

One thing that is almost a must for this kind of map is bank robberies:)

To me those seem like a cornerstone when it comes to heroes and villains;)

You could also have some police driving around looking for crimes.

People snatching purses, don't forget about those aswell:)

Hope I helped:thup:

Don't forget the stray animals. Make somthing weird like a stray bear that escaped from the zoo and started killing people, and they explode into guts when they die from the bear. Then the animal control can net him with the raiders net.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
