City Thirty Six

City Thirty-Six located in Berlin, Germany was one of the first cities to go under major industrialization. Because of this, the populace now refers to the City simply as “The City of Industry”.

This city has no loyalists to speak of and has found itself in quite an unstable state for the last few months due to the Unions strict rule, forcing the citizens to work every day. This has brought a lot of protesting citizens with it, threatening the city with constant acts of violence and citizens using all kinds of tools and equipment as weapons against the local protection teams.

Several attempts from the Combine to cull the population and force them back in line have all failed, and have made the situation worst, birthing the rise of a medium-sized terrorist group in the City. While the group has not yet formerly announced its name, it has caused massive amounts of damage to Combine infrastructure which has since forced Striders into the city to keep the group in check and stop any more damage being done.

At least half of the city has become a ruin that is now the constant battleground in which the terrorist group and Combine fight. It has now only just become evident that the terrorist group that was once making a big push, is now losing their ground against the NOMAD legions forcing them back.

On the other half of the City, such actions do not show, instead, citizens are seemingly accepting their working lives, knowing that too many have died for them to even bother resisting. They have accepted the reality of the cold rule of the Combine as they work themselves to death in the factories each day.

During these dark times, a large infestation has occurred within the battle-zone, threatening all sides. When the gunshots silence, only the groans and moans of the Necrotics can be heard, smashing down pockets of the terrorist group and attempt to find their way into the other half of the City.
