1. General Information
This is a modification created to represent the general area of New York City with vehicles and personnel reflecting the city of New York, unlike other mods which specifically picked a bourrogh to represent, this modification more or less covers the city as a whole. While perhaps not the most realistic scenario it allowed me to pick units from all over the city and include them for their uniqueness or because I liked them over what might have been for example in the Bronx only. Currently in V1.0 the map is a modified original map, which I admit is not the best feel for NYC... In the end making a new map will take some time with new buildings and what not and I really wanted to release a functional version with the features necessary to play it and then for the next version work on the things that I sadly could not get done for the first version.
The gameplay aspect of this mod is designed to be more of a hybrid of the original game and the Los Angeles modification, I felt that the LA mod added exellent realism, but at the cost of the strategy aspect which this game originally intended to exist. So I've tried to add realism and functions that are indeed useful without making it to where it became too "easy" and removed the strategy which made this game appealing in the first place. Some of the units have features that other vehicles will not, this is done on purpose to make you have to plan and think about what you send and how you use the resources available to you.
Please note that this modification is based 2002-2008 or so, I've locked the date in on purpose as this permits the ability to focus on adding new features as opposed to attempting to keep every vehicle current since larger cities tend to get new vehicles relatively often it would have made the modification never-ending in development. I wanted to be able to complete a project I felt was necessary for the mod and move onto the next, which is how all subsequent future additions will proceed.
Hopefully you enjoy this representation of the city of New York=)
