Dark Skies is a total conversion mod that aims to recreate the original story of Half-Life 2 while keeping a fresh feel from the other mods doing the same thing. Almost every thing will be redesigned to have our own touches but still resemble Valve's old concepts. Dark Skies will contain many new enemies, new gameplay and dark and desolate levels.

Description
This is a texture (made by Cubic Apocalypse)for a holographic globe that will be seen in one of the Air Exchange control rooms.
It shows both the AirEx smog as well as drained ocean and the locations of cities, the AirEx near C17 (there's more that will be added in the future).
I'm guessing the red is the big cities that have majority of combine.
Nah, red is more like where the gases from the Air Exchange have spread to by the time the HL2 beta storyline occurred.
Cool map, but isn't City 17 in Europe? Or at least that's what most people believe.
Yeah, this is wrong. Haha. It's eastern Europe.
original story's city 17 is in the US
Oh yeah, derp. I forgot about that.
I feel there is a lack of cities in the map, all are in North America, Europe and Asia, except for one city in Australia and one in Egypt. Not only is Latin America and Africa empty, but the cities are all grouped near one another. (Especially if you take the real world concentration of people in consideration, the Combine would have had to maintain urban centers in other areas.)
Did a map with the other cities' locations already exist or did you have to make them yourself?
At first I thought the same thing, but if you think about it, there might not be enough people to fit into any more, considering the state of the world. And these aren't small cities. We may add a few more and just move some around. And our newest texture artist, Cubic Apocalypse, made this map. It did not exist prior.
City 5 would be really cool. Imagine driving the jeep through the Sinai Desert and storming a combine-fortified pyramid!
That would be awesome. Someone should make a mod like that some day.
Sad there isn't Gdańsk named as City 20 after 7HW :( But for me AirEx should be located at San Nicolas Island.
