Recently, I've decided to take a small brake from playing the Tirnreich, instead I'm focusing on a side project.

This project is called the Abbott Metropolitan Project, or AMP. It's quite heavily based on Chicago, with elements of New York and Seattle. It is composed of 67 districts, and would sit along America's East coast.

I've decided to download a crapload more of the NYBT's files, so hopefully you'll see them being put to good use! Check these maps and district info:
