Deadly Migration.

The city is isolated by a barrier. The space is unstable: somewhere it's quiet, while in the next block there's a fight to the death. There are no safe places.

⸻

🔳 Central streets

Destroyed roads, broken shop windows, overturned cars. Traces of recent battles: cracks in the asphalt, remnants of cursed energy. Random collisions between players occur frequently.

▫️ Danger: High ▫️ It's easy to get into a fight here without preparation

⸻

🔳 High-rise buildings

Dilapidated buildings with many floors and open spaces. Excellent vantage points and positions for long-range attacks.

▫️ Danger: medium → high ▫️ Often used by strong players as “hunting positions”

⸻

🔳 Abandoned residential areas

Empty houses, open doors, traces of people leaving in a hurry. Sometimes you can find resources or shelter.

▫️ Danger: Medium ▫️ This is where weak players hide... or those who pretend to be weak

⸻

🔳 Subway

Dark tunnels, stations without light, deafening silence. The sounds are distorted, making it difficult to understand where the enemy is.

▫️ Danger: very high ▫️ An ideal place for ambushes and stealth attacks

⸻

🔳 Destruction zones

Places of major battles. Buildings are destroyed, space is “broken”, energy is unstable.

▫️ Danger: critical ▫️ Strong players or the consequences of their battles often appear here

⸻

🔳 Empty zones (spawn points)

Places where new members appear. Usually quiet... but it's temporary.

▫️ Danger: sharply increasing ▫️ Newbies are easy prey

⸻

🔳 Territories of influence

Unofficial zones controlled by strong players. Their "rules" apply here.

▫️ Danger: Depends on the owner ▫️ Entering without preparation can result in instant death
