unofficially its under Turkish control
Canadian soldiers do peace keeping missions there I have heard many stories from there. Mostly nothing happens but it’s a very unsettling place to be. The buildings though are beginning to fall apart.
Reminds me of fallout but one of the issues is metal thief’s and general material theft now. Some of the buildings are still owned and in theory could be sold so if talk of a solution comes land value could sky rocket.
Hopefully things improve and one day the hotels can open for people it’s a sad place.
With infantry this map would be great. Lots of open windows and not a lot of junk looks to be cleaned out.
Beautiful and creepy, quite liminal like dead and alive mixed, it is probably the most interesting map idea, must be added together with Greek and Cypriot sub-tech trees.

Yeah, you aren’t allowed to walk near them because of that. When you are walking in the city, its mostly barriers everywhere and occasionally you hear something fall in one of the buildings. Its like a moment stuck in time that’s falling apart.

yep the metal thieves are not helping
What with the nuclear thunder map sizes now being a thing, couldn’t the entire island of cyprus be fit into a single map?

island of cyprus is (according to wikipedia) around 240km wide at its widest point, so its plausible (Nuclear Thunder is 250km x 250km iirc)

Perhaps it could work as an air battles map. The island’s airfields are positioned in a way that could make both the spawns and the air combat relatively balanced. Between Nicosia (Say Blue) and RAF Akrotiri (Say Red) lie the Troodos Mountains, which provide plenty of terrain cover and opportunities for varied engagements.
P.S. Those are just the older airfields. If the developers choose to model the modern island, there are several additional airfields available on both the northern and southern sides.
That, but also the possibility of custom matches or community hosted events would be cool. All we need now is for the Saladin to be added.

very easily
I believe Islands are the best maps like Cyprus or Crete that are big but not very big and can easily be added in WT, they don’t have to add the airfield where they are, they can just put them where ever they want

Even if we stick to 250km^2 cyprus still fits horizontally just about.
Suggestion passed to the developers for consideration. o7
