    *NOTE: I do not intend to advertise other games below. ALSO: The link is safe*

    So, I have a question for all of you. However it can best be answered by people who are very familiar with the Forge World palette/budget and object limit AND by people who have played Mass Effect 1.

    Do you guys think that its possible(i.e. there are enough pieces) to build a fairly accurate to almost perfect replica of the "Presidium" in ME? If you can't remember, fire up your old copy or just look at this pic ;) File:Citadel-Presidium-Wide view.png - Mass Effect Wiki - Mass Effect, Mass Effect 2, walkthroughs and more

    If you haven't played the game then you can't really imagine just how huge it is. I wanted to make this into a map and I've been designing it(drawing overhead views, etc.) and I'm not sure if there are enough objects to make a fully fledged multiplayer map out of this. So I guess this is in the super-early planning stage :)
    Just to clarify:
    -I will only build the main section, not any of the side rooms such as the embassies or the bar.
    -I will build it over the sea/water so I can have the lake seperating the two sides.
    -The scenery outside of the map will not be included since it is too hard to make and not enough objects are avaiable. I will build the tree/grass sections(I know trees aren't availiable) and the rocks and statues. Just not scenery BEYOND the map

    If its possible then this will be one hell of a map :)

    So guys, it is possible?

    P.S. This is my idea so don't steal it :p

    Thanks!

    It is, the problem will be the trees, without them it could look a little blank. Do you want this to be playable or just aesthetics?

    I was going to make it a mix of both. Yes its a shame I can't use trees but it will still work hopefully :) But what bothers me is the object/budget limit really.

    I want to keep it mainly aesthetics but I will also try to set it up for gametypes such as slayer and ctf.
