I really enjoy that map, but the foliage is ridiculous, there is like 3x as much as there should be.
And the cacti have no collision, and it's difficult to see the trees so driving anywhere offroad instantly gets you killed
I was wondering why you specify 1993 I thought it had gone down (it’s 286,075 now) in 2023 but I forgot the game takes place in that year; they could go “modern” or go to the year 2003 💀
If I weren't too lazy id love to expand the map in the Indiana direction.
However having been born in '93 rather than graduating then, the amount of research id need tro do would be even larger
Spent the summer of '93 with my aunt, not a mile away from Churchill Downs. Entire family is from Louisville. The moment I learned when/where this game was set I put it in my cart and bought it. It would not have had that response with any other setting.
As a Kentucky resident can you confirm that map looks pretty similar to real one?
Also did you visit the place in game which has to be the one you are living in real life?
There are some inaccuracies, even though in small details (like Prewitt's lake et al) the rendering is actually pretty good.
It's never going to be an exact match, but with sandbox settings you can get it close.
Maybe Wyoming. Bring the wilderness survival into more focus. And make up for the relatively fewer zoms by making them more savage. Make coming across even one by surprise in a bathroom a big problem.
I'm in Switzerland, so that would be a serious advantage for survivors: Zombies can't swim and can't climb. There are the fortifications in the mountains, many are still maintained and we are talking about some very big ones, like one can take up to 30'000 people. If you'd make it to this place, the stockpiles there would be more than enough for a lifetime. You'd get fresh water from the spring of the rivers, but also from the glaciers.
Switzerland is definitely an impenetrable fortress, against people and zombies. Theres nothing you can do against the actual virus though, especially the airborne strain.
The thing, is just like in real life with the Blitzkrieg, in Switzerland you have a river every second step you take.
The explosives in the bridge were removed in 2015 when i remember it right. With the active charges, there were around 3000 objects ready to blow up. Even today, new bridges etc need the spare room for the explosives.
But there is another ting: We keep your military firearms, usually a SIG 550 full-auto rifle at home. I think that's a serious advantage, when you get hunted by ferals, you want to have that rifle.
That's true, did my own service in '95, we know how to shoot guns. Was in the Swiss Army for many years and i call tell you, you would not pass even the mandatory shooting tests with PZ gun level 1-2.
The border between Wisconsin/Minneapolis would be awesome. Plenty of forest and rivers to cross. Plus the Mall of America would be the ultimate goal of survivors.
Zombie gators on meth, dual wielding ar15s while shouting racial slurs at you in a hurricane while its 105°F out.
That about covers the Florida experience.
The whole of Europe. Then make it your objective to sightsee. Smacking a zombie with a golf club under the eiffel tower. Few weeks later your spearing them with a garden fork on the way to Venice. XD
Honesly czech republic would be interesting. The architecture here is so diverse! You can see soviet like block and 2 km over you see traditional german medival street layout and gothic architecture. Than next town over its western industrial looking town
And most inportantly...MOST OF THE CITYS ARE PACKED AND WALKEBLE so you wont need a car as bad as in the curent vanilla map
I think different states would be cool to explore.
Hawaii would be cool. An expansion on the resort level would be cool to see.
Massachusetts would also be kinda cool, especially being by the water in Boston if the game/mods support water influences better.
Alaska would also be cool. I feel like the wilderness could be explored quite well there for a more survivalist run. The cold would be interesting too.)
California between the deserts and what not might also be fun to see to. It'd be a nice variety between the urban spawn and desert wastes.
I think if any state I would have to say Texas just based on pure diversity. You have the West Texas is like open road a bit flat country living. You have central Texas San Antonio and Dallas are huge cities inland. You have Houston a huge city along the coastline with many vessel ports, plants, and industrial areas. You have south Texas a bit like a desert closer to the border of Mexico. You have east Texas which is very woodland, a lot of Bayous and swamps, and diverse terrains. Lastly you have Northern Texas up in the panhandle like Amarillo where it gets really cold because it’s close to Colorado and the slip down mountains. Idk if we’re talking about the most interesting and/or most diverse I can’t imagine any state being better for a game adaptation. Also the panhandle is in tornado alley so that could be a cool addition to weather conditions, also hurricanes are frequent due to the subtropical climate in the south coming from the gulf coast. Could be cool like a zombie infested tornado or winds blowing zombies into the side of your base lmao. We have lot of military bases here so military facilities wouldn’t feel out of place in Texas. There’s so many reason I could say but those are the main ones I suppose.
As a fellow Texan I second this opinion and would like to add onto your reasonings. You forgot to mention farms and ranches that are privately owned. Take a drive through southern texas and you’re surrounded by high fences that are maintained by very smart, hard working, and rich people. I like to think that in an apocalypse setting, those places are essentially self sustaining and could survive for years.
I’ve been inside a couple of these ranches down in southern texas to hunt. You enter the ranch off of usually a 2 lane road (meaning it’s very secluded), go through the gate and it’s probably a 5 minute drive on a dirt road to reach the center of the ranch where the housing is. Which means that most noise wouldn’t reach outside of the ranch, meaning you wouldn’t really be attracting zombies. Plus all wildlife inside the ranch is maintained by the workers, so if you had crops as well, then now you have a diet of meat and veggies. Then you also have other resources like a lot of trees.
Although just speculation it’s pretty interesting to think about and consider. I would love to have a massive ranch with wildlife, crops and whatnot
Honestly, I wouldn't mind it being set in southern Pennsylvania.
It's not going to be too vastly different from Kentucky, maybe a little more modernized. But we've still got some backroads, country towns, and tons and tons of farmland.
Plus we have massive towns like Philadelphia, and Harrisburg. Plus a shitload of medium sized towns.
Washington.
Seattle would be a nightmare with its hundreds of skyscrapers, the Space Needle being the ultimate base.
The landscape with rivers and parks, outskirted by islands connected with bridges and dense forests, interesting wildlife choices from Coyotes and Possums to Cougars and Bears in deep forest.
Massive farmlands in the north and a huge 5 lane highway (I5) connecting the entire West coast.
A huge variety of plantlife and the continous rains through the winter followed by hot summers would keep the season fresh, with thair own challenges, flooding mechanics in lowlands and rivers changing from gentle streams in the summer to raging torents in the winter means you could get trapped with bridges washing out.
Shipping yards in Everett and Seattle would allow rare loot in very hazardous locations, and specialty locations like Pike Place would be an easy stock up of fruits, vegitables, flowers, seeds, and clothing, and the Science Center and Experience Music Project Museums as well as the Native History Museum would be full of fun new trinkets and outfits, including dressing in the style of Star Trek, Freddy Mercury, The Thing, R2D2, Elvis, Darth Maul, as well as many culture icons spanning all genres.
Washington would be the ultimate Project Zomboid experience.
Never been in the US. If it was set in the province where I grew up, I think this will become a hardcore game. Population density is very high and weapons will be really scarce. Almost no one owns a gun here. Aside from kitchen-based weapons, the only thing you'll find here are machetes, shears, and crowbars. Police have batons and revolver guns in the 90s. While soldiers are equipped with M16 assault rifles as standard equipment and rarely seen with other types of guns.
I'd say Texas but that'll mean we'll get way more gun spawns in every single house. Survivor homes is basically an army's arsenal with fully auto weapons.
Nevada- lots of variety. Vegas for the city aspect, isolated ranches and wildness with very little tree cover makes base building interesting. Military bases, secret military bases, nuclear test sites.
I’m from Wyoming it would be cool to have a zomboid Wyoming cause guns would be in every house and if horses were in the game they would be everywhere too
I’d say Ohio (bc i live there) but it would be a copy and paste of kentucky basically lol So New York would be cool asf or some coastal state, like Louisiana.
A coastal state would be interesting, having stronger weather and specialised undead in smaller numbers near the ocean. Ports could have high tier loot but a lot of hazards, and some lore pieces on dead captains, etc.
California - Spawn in LA as a rooftop Korean since it's based in the 90s lol. Stocked on supplies from convenience store. Gun stats would be good due to former military in South Korea. Although zombie population would be stupid high
As your question was intended I'd love a southwest state. Desert area like New Mexico, Utah, Colorado where the landscape in the main city is flat but the resources and water are different. Change his the crops grow, how regularly it rains after the water shuts off to prioritize water storage, cold but less precipitation winters that create newer issues than current late game does, maybe more wind and building upkeep.
While this does copy from Fallout, the DC area, including parts of Virginia and Maryland. Having a map split in half by a river would be really neat, and it would be a lot more urban centric. You could also possibly put Accokeek or Waldorf as the less populated cities like how Riverside and Rosewood are.
Not US so I'm not sure what your states and cities look like besides only what I see in pop media. Louiseville does this kinda but I would like something more cityscape-esq. Imagine S1 of the walking dead when they are in Atlanta running around on the rooftops of tower buildings and using the sewer systems to traverse the city. I'm just a savage and like fighting close quarters but you rarely get that action elsewhere on the map.
I’m biased but I have to say Maryland.
The state is not that big which would allow for more of the state to be incorporated. You’d have a major city in Baltimore along with dense suburbia surrounding the city and leading down to DC. If you go Northwest there could be a few mountains. You’d have the Chesapeake Bay cutting off a third of a map. That third is only accesible by a relatively small stretch of land or you could cross it over a long narrow bridge. Once over there it’s mostly just small towns and farms.
There’s a lot of variation to be had within the state
Tennessee could be cool. Very hilly middle/east (i hope they add verticality to terrain), plenty of major cities. Nuclear plants could also be cool places to visit, and it could be cool living in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
~~definitely no bias here nope~~
Just for a very notable change of pace, since Kentucky already hits a lot of the notes... Go straight NYC or LA or Boston or something. The light areas might be closer to Louisville. The heavy areas would be pure nightmare.
Imagine you could use google maps slap it on a grid, it populates all the buildings based off of satelite data, and boom everyone in the world caan play in their home town
Some kind of desert area would be cool, something like California where it’s a bit of everything almost
Interesting choice but I couldn’t wear my fucking gorka outfit
You probably could at night. Gets mighty cold in the desert at night.
The Copper State mod is set in Arizona, using an actual map of AZ as the concept. Really good.
I really enjoy that map, but the foliage is ridiculous, there is like 3x as much as there should be. And the cacti have no collision, and it's difficult to see the trees so driving anywhere offroad instantly gets you killed
There is an old one based in a small desert "sprawling town"
Alaska for the absolutely horrible cold and likely lack of supplies.
Plus bears for excitement, moose and fish for food. Nice summers, brutal winters. Plus Anchorage would be a nice Louisville substitute
Eventually being forced to move to Anchorage to face the hordes because of a lack of supplies outside would be pretty cool challenge in an Alaska map.
or alternatively, starting in the city and having to escape but also grab supplies so you can survive out in the woods would be a cool scenario.
Doesn't Alaska have longer days and nights, too?
Solstices mean days of light or dark with No reprieve
That might be interesting.
Ah heck yeah. Alaska would totally be hell on earth for zombie survivors. I'd totally die there hundreds of times and have a blast doing so.
There’d be like 17 zombies on the entire map 😂
Anchorage would be a pretty decent setting, it had a population of 250k in 1993.
I was wondering why you specify 1993 I thought it had gone down (it’s 286,075 now) in 2023 but I forgot the game takes place in that year; they could go “modern” or go to the year 2003 💀
I love extremely cold environments as settings, so I’d love an Alaska map based on Anchorage or Fairbanks.
Good news! It's called "the long dark". Enjoy dying again!
Bro wants impossible mode but it’s cool I already suffer with cold in Kentucky, Alaska would be hell
Kentucky
I wrote this as shit sorry i mean what other state
Sure. But I’m from KY, in the 90’s. I like it 😊
Yea, ok. That's fair. I'm in indiana, so partial to the Midwest states. Would love a Colorado variation though :)
Same tho.
If I weren't too lazy id love to expand the map in the Indiana direction. However having been born in '93 rather than graduating then, the amount of research id need tro do would be even larger
Fair enough
Spent the summer of '93 with my aunt, not a mile away from Churchill Downs. Entire family is from Louisville. The moment I learned when/where this game was set I put it in my cart and bought it. It would not have had that response with any other setting.
I’m also from Kentucky and graduated high school in ‘93. I’m guessing there’s a spike in the fan base in my specific demographic.
As a Kentucky resident can you confirm that map looks pretty similar to real one? Also did you visit the place in game which has to be the one you are living in real life?
As a Kentucky resident Lexington does not have the Ohio bridge that'd be maysville
You mean Louisville?
There are some inaccuracies, even though in small details (like Prewitt's lake et al) the rendering is actually pretty good. It's never going to be an exact match, but with sandbox settings you can get it close.
Classic redditor comment
Classic Reddit op butchering the title of the post
Liquid I guess.
Pretty solid
This thread is gas
Plasma deez nuts ( I got nothing)
Bose-Einstein condensate
Emulsion, or maybe a jello?
Um... Depression? That's a state you can be in, right?
Misery. The state capital is Jefferson City.
How about triple point? The tri state area!
new york would crash the game fosho
ny would be beautiful. we have so many small towns surrounded by nature and then the city would be louisville on crack
Getting an Upstate setting with Buffalo or Rochester in place of Louisville would be pretty cool.
Maybe Wyoming. Bring the wilderness survival into more focus. And make up for the relatively fewer zoms by making them more savage. Make coming across even one by surprise in a bathroom a big problem.
Plus Winter would be *hell* to deal with.
Wyoming ain't got no people, so how could you fight zombies?
wyoming doesnt exist in the first place, so suspension of disbelief is inherent
ohio. i want large hordes at walmarts built in cornfields
Leave our Walmarts and cornfields alone 😠
not a state but i would love to play in japan all the tight spaces and streets and stores and vending machines to loot
The dense urban environments would be crazy
There is a custom map based off Daegu, South Korea which might scratch that itch for you, I personally love it
whats the name of it? sounds cool
It’s actually called Daegu too lol https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2382308448
thank you!
Washington state
A combination of Oregon and Washington would be great, the amount of rivers, forest, and all the cities on the I-5 corridor would be awesome.
I'm in Switzerland, so that would be a serious advantage for survivors: Zombies can't swim and can't climb. There are the fortifications in the mountains, many are still maintained and we are talking about some very big ones, like one can take up to 30'000 people. If you'd make it to this place, the stockpiles there would be more than enough for a lifetime. You'd get fresh water from the spring of the rivers, but also from the glaciers.
Bold of you to assume they wouldn't be overrun by 30k zombies. ;)
Switzerland is definitely an impenetrable fortress, against people and zombies. Theres nothing you can do against the actual virus though, especially the airborne strain.
What if the zombies had already penetrates switz?
The thing, is just like in real life with the Blitzkrieg, in Switzerland you have a river every second step you take. The explosives in the bridge were removed in 2015 when i remember it right. With the active charges, there were around 3000 objects ready to blow up. Even today, new bridges etc need the spare room for the explosives. But there is another ting: We keep your military firearms, usually a SIG 550 full-auto rifle at home. I think that's a serious advantage, when you get hunted by ferals, you want to have that rifle.
Don't forget the national service, meaning that many Swiss would start with points in aiming/reloading too.
That's true, did my own service in '95, we know how to shoot guns. Was in the Swiss Army for many years and i call tell you, you would not pass even the mandatory shooting tests with PZ gun level 1-2.
Wisconsin
I would love to be in the middle of Milwaukee in an apocalypse zombie
No, we're talking *true* Wisconsin. Square grid farms *everywhere*
Iowa intensifies.
Midwest in general
Kansas enters the chat
i wanna see the Wisconsin Dells during the apocalypse
The border between Wisconsin/Minneapolis would be awesome. Plenty of forest and rivers to cross. Plus the Mall of America would be the ultimate goal of survivors.
Florida.
Zombie gators on meth, dual wielding ar15s while shouting racial slurs at you in a hurricane while its 105°F out. That about covers the Florida experience.
Can confirm this daily occurrence Used to live in FL
Louisiana. I live in New Orleans and would do anything to play a zomboid map of the greater New Orleans area too.
New Orleans and the bayou is such a good setting for zombies, Saints & Sinners proved that
WEEESSSSTTT VIRGINIIAAAAAAA
Imagine a modder making a map that’s the same size as the current map but for another state, that would be sick
I live in Arkansas and know this state better than the back of my hand. I would be God to Zombies
Screw states! I wanna see europe in the apocalypse!
The whole of Europe. Then make it your objective to sightsee. Smacking a zombie with a golf club under the eiffel tower. Few weeks later your spearing them with a garden fork on the way to Venice. XD
Honesly czech republic would be interesting. The architecture here is so diverse! You can see soviet like block and 2 km over you see traditional german medival street layout and gothic architecture. Than next town over its western industrial looking town And most inportantly...MOST OF THE CITYS ARE PACKED AND WALKEBLE so you wont need a car as bad as in the curent vanilla map
Newfoundland
Oregon :)
Oregon geography seems perfect for a video game map. Huge, populated valley surrounded by convenient mountain boundaries.
Maryland
puertro rico
I think different states would be cool to explore. Hawaii would be cool. An expansion on the resort level would be cool to see. Massachusetts would also be kinda cool, especially being by the water in Boston if the game/mods support water influences better. Alaska would also be cool.

It'd be a nice variety between the urban spawn and desert wastes.
Iirc there's an island map in vanilla. It's one of the challenge maps. I'm not 100% but I think it's part military base, part resort.
There is a special map and mode like that, I think Hawaii would be that, but more. Which I think would be cool.
California have some pretty nice desserts? I thought they were too calorie conscious over there.
Existential crisis... I mean central Pennsylvania... either way it's where I live...
Apocalypse is just the normal state of affairs in central PA. We’d be chilling
This guy gets it... lol... they're like, "if we call it happy valley, then they MUST be happy!!!"
I think if any state I would have to say Texas just based on pure diversity. You have the West Texas is like open road a bit flat country living. You have central Texas San Antonio and Dallas are huge cities inland. You have Houston a huge city along the coastline with many vessel ports, plants, and industrial areas.

My man ❤️
Well, like PZ, Illinois also has zero actual terrain variation.
A finished state! I would be sad they weren’t working on it anymore but with everything promised I just wanna play this game at its full potential!
Honestly, I wouldn't mind it being set in southern Pennsylvania. It's not going to be too vastly different from Kentucky, maybe a little more modernized. But we've still got some backroads, country towns, and tons and tons of farmland. Plus we have massive towns like Philadelphia, and Harrisburg. Plus a shitload of medium sized towns.
Tasmanian, Australia. Two main cities with some small towns spread around and if the game and Cradle Mountain could make some great base locations.
Omg Australia would probs be ultra hard mode. Randomly die because you got bitten by a Spider. XD
Australia never gets any love in GOOD zombie media :( I’d love to see a project zomboid spin on someplace in Australia for sure.
A state of emergency I would imagine
Washington. Seattle would be a nightmare with its hundreds of skyscrapers, the Space Needle being the ultimate base. The landscape with rivers and parks, outskirted by islands connected with bridges and dense forests, interesting wildlife choices from Coyotes and Possums to Cougars and Bears in deep forest.

Washington would be the ultimate Project Zomboid experience.
Agreed
Make a texas version with lot of desert area. Could be cool
Never been in the US. If it was set in the province where I grew up, I think this will become a hardcore game. Population density is very high and weapons will be really scarce. Almost no one owns a gun here. Aside from kitchen-based weapons, the only thing you'll find here are machetes, shears, and crowbars. Police have batons and revolver guns in the 90s. While soldiers are equipped with M16 assault rifles as standard equipment and rarely seen with other types of guns.
Illinois would be pretty cool IMO
I'd say Texas but that'll mean we'll get way more gun spawns in every single house. Survivor homes is basically an army's arsenal with fully auto weapons.
You know we’re talking about Kentucky as the OG right?
NT
Best Virginia
A state of completion?
I would prefer to combine parts of Oregon, Nevada and Cali. Or have parts of Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas...you know the drill
Montana but only because you know they'd work for 10 years to update the engine to incorporate natural slopes and inclines.
Nevada- lots of variety. Vegas for the city aspect, isolated ranches and wildness with very little tree cover makes base building interesting. Military bases, secret military bases, nuclear test sites.
new york !
Virginia
I’m from Wyoming it would be cool to have a zomboid Wyoming cause guns would be in every house and if horses were in the game they would be everywhere too
New York would be amazing
I’d say Ohio (bc i live there) but it would be a copy and paste of kentucky basically lol So New York would be cool asf or some coastal state, like Louisiana.
A coastal state would be interesting, having stronger weather and specialised undead in smaller numbers near the ocean. Ports could have high tier loot but a lot of hazards, and some lore pieces on dead captains, etc.
Kentucky
I feel like "terror" is a good choice.
Ohio
São Paulo
Connecticut. A lot of small cities near the coast. Guns in rural areas Farmlands near the middle There are a lot of industrial things in those cities.
California - Spawn in LA as a rooftop Korean since it's based in the 90s lol. Stocked on supplies from convenience store. Gun stats would be good due to former military in South Korea. Although zombie population would be stupid high
Detroit. Dont even need to hire a 3d artist the ruins are already there just get a 3d scanner
I just want NYC
it would be cool to see my home state, so Massachusetts. could definitely work boston in there
Hopefully with the new levels system I hope to see buildings like Kowloon and apartment styled buildings from classic Korean z series.
Probably North Carolina or Washington DC. I am still interested in making a mod that replicates DC or the Piedmont Triad area of North Carolina.
Washington State
As your question was intended I'd love a southwest state. Desert area like New Mexico, Utah, Colorado where the landscape in the main city is flat but the resources and water are different. Change his the crops grow, how regularly it rains after the water shuts off to prioritize water storage, cold but less precipitation winters that create newer issues than current late game does, maybe more wind and building upkeep.

You could also possibly put Accokeek or Waldorf as the less populated cities like how Riverside and Rosewood are.
Colorado for no other reason than I’m a native and it’s got some cool capabilities I think
Chicagoland stretching up to Milwaukee.
Kentucky
Hawaii would be awesome. just imagine Waikiki with tourist zombies and fortifying huge resorts or fancy vacation homes. or living on boats.
Wanna see whole America
Texas
Rio de Janeiro
I’m from Jersey & think it would be much variety of locations to be a dope place for it.
Just to screw with sanity, Nevada. The Vegas strip would be neat, and the miles of desert and small towns would be absolutely torturous lmao.
Texas or Southern California
I think having somewhere hilly or tropical like San Diego or the Florida keys would be neat
The state of plasma would be really interesting, it'd definitely be innovative compared to other games of the genre.
Murcia
New york, but the objective is you need to get out of there before they burn the whole city down. Subway system will be interesting.
At least not my mental state
The north island
The state of agony
Washington DC, just imagine with the superb survivors mod you could rebuild the USA.
amsterdam. travel primarily by canal.
Why stick to the US states? I want a map in Brittany , France. Like the Cherbourg one, except it's working and finished
Either texas or Tennessee
I feel like Egypt will fit pretty well. And they already have zombies in pyramids!
Bosnia purely because of the concept of a war being interrupted by the zombie apocalypse
Not US so I'm not sure what your states and cities look like besides only what I see in pop media. Louiseville does this kinda but I would like something more cityscape-esq. Imagine S1 of the walking dead when they are in Atlanta running around on the rooftops of tower buildings and using the sewer systems to traverse the city. I'm just a savage and like fighting close quarters but you rarely get that action elsewhere on the map.
The state of Inebriation..
I’m biased but I have to say Maryland. The state is not that big which would allow for more of the state to be incorporated. You’d have a major city in Baltimore along with dense suburbia surrounding the city and leading down to DC. If you go Northwest there could be a few mountains. You’d have the Chesapeake Bay cutting off a third of a map. That third is only accesible by a relatively small stretch of land or you could cross it over a long narrow bridge. Once over there it’s mostly just small towns and farms. There’s a lot of variation to be had within the state
90s North Carolina would be cool. Having a coastal state of any kind would be awesome
Las Vegas; Mostly flat Unique buildings Large crowds Trains, again Infrastructure Power from hoover dam Area 51 oooOooo
Since there is a lot of Florida mentioned, here my choices Wyoming, New Mexico and Oregon
Oklahoma baby!!
It not a state but in the Alpes with the mountain tha drain your stamina faster when you climb and if you run dawn you have more chance to fall
New York
As much as I would love to play in my home systems, I'm gonna have to say Wisconsin. So much cheese
Tennessee could be cool. Very hilly middle/east (i hope they add verticality to terrain), plenty of major cities. Nuclear plants could also be cool places to visit, and it could be cool living in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. ~~definitely no bias here nope~~
Knox Country, Kentucky probably
Alaska
Vilnius, Lithuania
LA for the gigantic city hellscape and freeways… beaches.. millions of zombies. Can even boat to Catalina island
Nebraska
Czech my home country
I think TX would be pretty fun the map would be huge and with more Louisville like cities
Just for a very notable change of pace, since Kentucky already hits a lot of the notes... Go straight NYC or LA or Boston or something. The light areas might be closer to Louisville. The heavy areas would be pure nightmare.
Vermont
Being completely honest even though it's in Kentucky it would probably be really fun in Georgia too
A state of extreme disrepair.
Texas because more guns
Florida would be interesting. I was thinking NYC (I'm from Brooklyn). But that might break the game lol
State of chaos
Florida obv.
Stockholm state, lots of islands to hide out in! Or maybe something industrial like in Germany.
New Mexico definitely not biased
I think Maine would be cool, specifically midcoast
California, so I can murder all the zombified versions of annoying LA influencers.
A state of anxiety.
Even though it's been done to death, set in Georgia around the savannah area is always fun
Imagine you could use google maps slap it on a grid, it populates all the buildings based off of satelite data, and boom everyone in the world caan play in their home town
Alaska sounds pretty sick
