Edmonton, with more of its character.

The game combines the bundled municipal map with original architectural models, road-specific cross sections and reconstructed bridge grades. All map data ships with the game. The game makes no City, EPCOR or OpenStreetMap requests during play.

Natural woodland and parks

The municipal point tree inventory does not contain every tree. The City uPLVI 2025 forest layer supplies 2,197 forest polygon parts, including the missing aspen stand south of the Legislature. Additional stems represent canopy and leading species inside those polygons; individual locations, heights and crowns are estimates. Open lawns, fields, trails, water and existing inventory trees retain clearance.

City parks, sports outlines and mapped paths give green space its purpose. Field paint is illustrative; playground points do not invent equipment layouts. Surfaces follow the terrain, and unpaved paths remain soft ground.

Buildings and industry

Municipal footprints, courtyard holes and measured roof peaks are preserved. Zoning informs conservative residential, commercial and industrial character; it does not prove actual occupancy or exact architecture. Gables, cladding and windows are approximations.

Suncor, Imperial and Enbridge gain 129 mapped tanks and 21 ancillary buildings outside municipal roofline coverage, plus available service roads. Enbridge is a terminal. Coarse NRCan surface-minus-ground heights are estimates, and process equipment remains a future detail pass. Access roads remain outside delivery routing.

Additional corridor evidence

Another 126 supported Whitemud, Groat, Sherwood Park Freeway and Wayne Gretzky records provide 38 lane-count corrections, preserving road widths and elevations. A citywide audit ranks 3,845 complex junction candidates; this does not mean every junction, curb or turning lane has been individually reconstructed.

Major arteries

Anthony Henday, 97 Street, Gateway Boulevard, Calgary Trail, Yellowhead, Jasper and Whyte use 1,545 individual road cross sections. Travel direction comes from exact City road IDs. Available OpenStreetMap lane tags directly inform 855 of those segments; other lane counts and all pavement widths are estimated. This includes Highway 216 aliases and the relevant 104 Street continuation.

Separate source carriageways remain separate. One-way markings, shoulders and odd lane counts replace the old repeated two-way road pattern. Jasper’s completed 109–117 Street section includes two lanes each way and a centre turn lane. Individual turn pockets, temporary construction layouts and every curb have not been surveyed.

• Alberta ring-road information distinguishes completed southwest widening from future capacity.
• Imagine Jasper Avenue and Jasper Avenue New Vision supply completed and proposed streetscape references.
• Yellowhead construction information and transit-priority projects identify temporary and future changes. Future drawings are not treated as existing roads.

Interchanges

The western Henday–Yellowhead interchange retains its constructed two-level arrangement. The eastern interchange retains three levels. Source centreline curves and verified crossing order guide the reconstructed grades, deck spans and connected approaches. Another 1,182 bounded road profiles repair artery crossings and connecting approaches, including 23 Avenue, 41 Avenue, Whitemud and the Yellowhead crossings. Heights and clearances are game reconstruction, not surveyed as-built measurements.

• Alberta northeast project overview describes the eastern three-level interchange.

Ponds and creeks

The water supplement adds 1,023 separate pieces: 140 creek sections, 605 lake sections and 278 storm-pond sections. These are polygon pieces, not a count of separate lakes. They represent 253 matched stormwater facilities across the available mapped areas. Ninety-one known dry facilities remain dry; unresolved sites are retained in source notes rather than filled with invented water.

Municipal hydrographic outlines provide 1,022 pieces; one Lambton pool is explicitly estimated from terrain inside a wet-facility boundary. Facility boundaries include embankments and are not used as water shorelines. Pond levels are estimated from terrain; their shallow game beds are not measured bathymetry. Creeks follow the terrain. A sparse supplement of 2,498 willow/poplar candidates fills selected banks, while the original tree inventory keeps priority.

Skyline and street life

Original models add Edmonton’s CN Tower, EPCOR Tower, Manulife Place/National Bank Centre and Commerce Place, with separate tower and podium shapes. Jasper and Whyte feature Princess Theatre, Commercial Hotel/Blues on Whyte, Strathcona Hotel, Wee Book Inn, Alberta Hotel/CKUA, Union Bank Inn, MacLean Block/Audreys Books and Commodore Restaurant. Photographs inform proportions and details; no photographed facade textures are copied.

The source repository includes photo registers, municipal replacement IDs, model validation, vehicle benchmarks and road-clearance audits. Buildings use bounded mesh batches and simple collision shells; the Map Inspector offers shortcuts to the new areas.
