What is Green County?

Introduction

gc-noir-512px.png

Green County is a fantasy map based on an actual 10×10 km area near Allensville - Vinton County - Ohio. As a fantasy map, some aspects can be close to the IRL, but some liberties have been taken for gameplay, technical and financial reasons.

The map is designed to be versatile. Its 10x10km (100km²) size makes for fast gameplay that will delight PVP communities, while its aesthetics and storytelling will appeal to small and medium-sized PVE and Roleplay communities.

Discover the secret origins of Green County and battle infected humans and predators. Uncover the true purpose and mission of the National Guard, hidden by the surrounding chaos.

Spirit & Gameplay

Green County is a 10x10km map (100km²). It is predominantly rural/forested, containing mainly small villages, detached houses and farms. It also has one medium-sized town (Louisville) and a larger capital (Leaftown). To achieve a balanced gameplay, we have chosen to place only 4 medical buildings (as a result, medicines and treatments are in low/medium quantity depending the area), 3 police stations and 4 fire stations. Two military zones located close to player spawn points have been placed under permanent gas for balancing reasons. These two bases will play an important role in the future of the map.

The loot based on a vanilla Livonia and its 3 tiers (+ one Unique tier dedicated to Evacuation Points) has been completely redesigned (for weapons and related items) to make the gameplay more interesting. Dynamic event mechanics have been added to give the map gameplay more depth.

This map is suitable for different types of server, and we recommend the settings below:

Disclaimer

Not being a U.S. citizen, I did my best with the information I could find to try to maintain a consistent “spirit” with the means at my disposal. Furthermore, for gameplay reasons, certain aspects are not historically accurate, such as the presence of castles. Keep in mind that a truly accurate map is not possible without a development team and substantial funding, so please be tolerant.

Points of Interest

Road Signs

Some directional signs can be painted over, for two reasons:

Do not travel onto these sections of road without a compass and a map You might get lost there.

Predators

The biological events that forced the National Guard to lock down Green County under federal authority seem to have caused physiological changes in black bears and wolves...
The emergence of two new breeds, Cerberus Verminus for wolves and Ursus Abominatus for bears.

predators.jpg

Heavies Soldiers

All armies have tough guys, and the National Guard is no exception. Its heavy soldiers are tough guys and will give you a hard time. They are recognisable by their ballistic helmets and their characteristic slowness.

heavy_soldier.jpg

Mails / Letters

Like relics from a not-so-distant but forgotten past, letters and correspondence are witness to life in Green County before Day Zero can help you understand the events that led to the county's lockdown.

letters.jpg

Kolumbus vending machines

In this devastated and dangerous world, stopping and taking the time to sip a Kolumbus IPA can be a source of comfort. These old vending machines probably still have cans in stock...

20260228133614_1.jpg

It is only possible to interact with these machines once per restart. If the “Shake” action is not available, it means that the device has already been used.

Dynamic Events

Abandonned trailers

Green County is full of forests and that tend to attract campers of all kinds. Often set up along roadsides, these trailers can be a source of food and supplies as you make your way through the forests.

event_trailer.jpgDead scientist

A dead scientist? His protective suit show a logo with “Bio-Lab Corp.” label. Could it be the multinational pharmaceutical company that supplies medical equipment in the county?

This is a sequel of the 1.2 lore "Green County Origins", the mechanics is useable but the interest is limited for now.

biolab_corpse1.jpg biolab_corpse2.jpg

Firefighter wrecked ambulance

Green County has four fire stations in Leaftown, County Airstrip and Willisburg. The National Guard also has its own fire station in Alpha Camp, but it's not accessible to civilians. Due to the chaos, it's possible to find ambulances firefighters wrecks along interstate roads.

wreck_firefighter.jpg

FPV drones wrecks

Few agents of the National Guard stucked in the Green County quarantine zone, monitor the activities of potential survivors and all “others”… FPV Drones regularly fly over populated areas. Can you find a way to use this to your advantage?

event_drone.jpg

Helicopters wrecks

Remnants of a partially failed evacuation carried out in a hurry, National Guard helicopters seem to have had incidents… Potentially a good source of material to defend yourself against nature and the inhabitants, who have become very hostile.

wreck_uh1y.jpg

Medical wrecked ambulances

Green County has few medical services, with two dispensaries in Green Heights and Dillsboro, and two hospital in Leaftown and Bio-Lab Research Center. As a result of the pandemic and the evacuation, medical ambulances wrecks can be found on the villages and cities of the county, and will certainly be able to save your life.

wreck_medical.jpg

National Guard checkpoints

The National Guard was obviously trying to control the flow of residents evacuating the county… They seem to have left in a hurry, forgetting weapons, ammunition, equipment…

event_ng1.jpg event_ng2.jpg

Police car wrecks

Green County only has three police stations in Burgess, Louisville and Leaftown. During the evacuation, residents protested and rioted against the police. As a result, wrecked police vehicles can be found all over the county.

event_police.jpg

Police roadblocks

During the evacuation of Green County residents, the forces of law and order were pushed to the limit. These roadblocks bear witness to the failed attempt to coordinate an evacuation…

Specific Mechanics

National Guard : Armory locker

A reinforced cabinet belonging to the National Guard, it appears to be equipped with a 6-letter combination digital lock. It appears to contain heavy weaponry.

The code is random and changes each time the server is restarted.

locker.jpg

National Guard : Beacons

The National Guard have a network of 12 beacons in the county. They were useful for communication and had a feature for storing unheard messages.

beacon1.jpg beacon2.jpg

Only one beacon can be used, and its location changes each time the server is restarted.

National Guard : Evacuation points

Citizens were evacuated by the National Guard, which created five evacuation points near the northeastern, eastern and southeastern limits of the county. Medical tests were carried out at these points, but under what conditions?

evac_point.jpg

National Guard : Supply pallets

The National Guard has placed supply pallets throughout the county. These pallets can literally save your life. They contain weapons and ammunition, food and drink, as well as basic medical items…

supply_pallets.jpg

National Guard : Watchtowers

The National Guard has a substantial network of watchtowers in the county. They were useful for keeping an eye on any fires, but it would appear that they were used by some personnel as a refuge during the troubles…

watchtower.jpg

National Guard : Wreck M923 truck

With the National Guard deployed throughout the county, M923 truck wrecks can be found everywhere. These wrecks are interesting in more ways than one, as they may indicate the presence of a path leading to a watchtower, or the presence of pallets of National Guard supply pallets.

M923_1.jpg M923_2.jpg

National Guard : Wreck M1 Abrams MBT

With the National Guard deployed throughout the county, M1 Abrams MBT from 101st ACR can be found everywhere. Maybe soldiers have leave and forget some stuff around?

mbt1.jpg mbt2.jpg

Water collectors

The authorities have placed water collectors at the residents' disposal. This has allowed residents to drink even though there is no water left in the pipes… Like all water collectors, these have a stagnant water inside, which may seem harmless, but can hides a deadly danger…

Drink the water from water collectors can transmit Cholera dicease (10% of chance). This value can be changed by servers owners.

Mechanics & Features

Lore & Storytelling

Background

The year 2025, a few years after the end of the COVID-19 pandemic, a new, unknown and seemingly incurable disease strikes the North American continent. Residents of the Green County (Ohio) were evacuated with disorder to the east by the National Guard a few months ago. Persistent rumors of survivors in confined areas, with strange behaviors have been observed and documented, even on animals. Despite signs of anarchic evacuation to the east, Green County seems to have regained a peaceful, and quiet side…

Lore / Quests

"Lockdown" : National Guard's Operation

In the summer of 2025, the Ohio National Guard, under federal authority, launched a lightning operation to confine Green County. At first, no one seemed to understand, but then the orders given to citizens suggest the worst...
Take the bare minimum of personal belongings and go to the evacuation points in the east of the county by any means possible.

The National Guard had to manage a massive and rapid exodus of the population. A few months later, the county seems deserted, and the few survivors still present can only note the absence of help and are forced to survive on their own.

Will you find the strength and courage to understand what happened?

Hints

All objects, structures, and documents with the National Guard logo can (or can't) help you in this quest... Use your common sense and plan your actions carefully. Accomplishment takes time, so don't hesitate to stash some items that you think might be useful to avoid losing them. We suggest reading Loot & Metagame chapter.

Completing this lore/quest will allow you to obtain a rare non-lootable item.

"Day Zero" : Green County Origin

This lore will be fully implemented in 1.2 Update, but some aspects are already in game.

"Uprise or Die !" : Green County's Future

This lore will be fully implemented in 1.3 Update,

v.1.1.0

Green County Immersive mod was merged directly on Green County and will no longer available on steam.

Updating Missions files, and full wipe is mandatory !

In order for you to use Green County according to the seasons, we have made two corrective adaptation mods.

Green_County_early_winter.png

"Green County - Early Winter or late Fall" : This mod allow to play on a early winter or late fall Green County environment while you use "Early Winter or late Fall" mods by cynep.

Green_County_winter.png

"Green County - Winter" : This mod allow to play on a full winter Green County environment while you use "Winter" mods by Lad, LIVINGxDEAD, asorrycanadian, Crazy Mike, and lynge.

We suggest using the “Snowy Trees” mod with “Green County - Winter” to avoid an unattractive graphic effect on distant trees. However, “Snowy Trees” replaces certain trees and may cause collisions. It's up to you to choose which option suits you best.
