There will be mods to go with this, and if somebody wants to make a mod for Resident Evil, go for it. Oh yeah, and of course there'll be a wall around the whole city. I'm still trying to get a server and then I have to get bukkit and world edit for the sake of cutting the time this'll take down a lot. I don't feel like counting all the houses, but I'd say there's around 150 of them and around 30 tall buildings or skyscrapers. The city will include:The mansion to the hive, the hive, the school, town hall, jail, Umbrella hospital, the police department, and much more random stuff.
I already have some builders so please don't ask, and i estimate we'll get done in 1-3 months (although 3 months is unlikely:). I hope that gave you an idea of how big this project will be. So i planned up the whole city on paper and got an area around 45,632 blocks and a perimeter of 8646 blocks. Then I thought 'Since i can't find any, why not make my own?'. One day I was looking everywhere for a good Raccoon city map.
