The Forbidden City

Lovely gold-plated roofs accentuate a stone courtyard in the traditional style, a palace for the grandest of your Asia-inspired emperors — currently living or already dead!

Thoughts

• A fight might progress up the city streets, through the gate & into the courtyard, and into building gates on either side.
• You might only need the lower area, which resembles a city; or perhaps the courtyard, if you want to isolate a fight in a single area. The map can cleanly split in two if required.
