Marienburg, City of the Wasteland

"Finally, a Marienburg worth burning."
-Me, when I made this map

"Home of the thrice-accursed Emil von Korden, may he be ever spat upon in the deepest layer of hell."
-Also me; seriously, f*** Marienburg

Marienburg is the last city to span the River Reik before it merges with the Sea of Claws. Don't let the campaign map fool you, it crosses the river, that's kind of its thing. It's old, like really old, and also really crowded because it's been continually growing in wealth and population since its founding, but is restricted to the only foundationally sound area in the region, a group of islands in the middle of a swamp. The swamp itself presents a hardly hospitable environment, and is definitely the hardest way to reach the city. As such, most attacks come from, and are anticipated to come from the water, so that's where fortifications are strongest.

Seeking to do the city justice, I included a couple of the more notable locations, like the Import-Export Exchange, Rijker's Isle and High Tower Bridge, but since Marienburg is the largest of the Old World cities, not all of it is accessible. Like I said, I wanted to do it justice, so it's huge.

The city is a network of isles and bridges, there's a lot of bridges, connected to the mainland by two large ones. Lorewise, only one of these should exist, but that just seemed wrong so I gave you a second.

Bridges... I know I already said it, but there are a lot of them. The big ones are fine, the little ones are annoying. I've worked pretty hard to make them function well, but when spaces get narrow, deployment in Total War gets sketchy.

You've been warned...

If there's anything you want to see in this map, let me know, I'm trying to keep making it better and also continue adding places of note. I hope I captured the vibe well enough, that was most of my intention. Enjoy!

OH, and before I forget, huge thanks to the TWW Map Makers' community and Frodo45127, the Wazard God.

Peace.
