Districts
Mini Metro requires a horizontal map, while Moscow is elongated north-south, so the entire city didn’t fit. The map is divided into 8 regions:
  • Central Administrative District (TsAO) inside the Garden Ring
  • Garden Ring to the Third Ring Road (TTK)
  • Third Ring Road (TTK) to the Residential districts, Spalniki
  • Three residential districts: Northern AO (SAO), Western AO (ZAO), Eastern AO (VAO)
  • Two special areas of Moscow-City (MIBC) and VDNKh

Station Types
When developing the map, I thought of these conventions:
● Residential districts, Spalnye Rayony. Few in the Centre, unlimited everywhere else
▲ Office districts, mostly in the Centre
■ Train stations. Tend to spawn in the Center, like their real-world examples: Belorussky, Kazansky, Paveletsky, Savyolovsky, Kievsky, Kursky, Rizhsky. Special case for Vostochny that may appear close to the map edge
⬟ Military, Lubyanka, spawns only in the Center
◆ Tourist areas: Chistye Prudy, Tretyakovskaya. Mostly spawn in the Center
🎪 Entertainment venues: VDNKh, Teatralnaya. One is likely to appear right at VDNKh
💎 Affluent districts: Moscow-City, Tsvetnoy Bulvar. One is likely to appear in Moscow City late in game
➕ Hospitals. In Moscow, free healthcare is incredibly developed, so hospitals appear in any district but tend to be located near the Third Ring Road (TTK): “Sklif” (Sklifosovsky Institute), “Botkinskaya”, “Pervaya Gradskaya”, and “Filatovskaya”
🏉 Football arenas: Luzhniki, Dinamo, CSKA, Spartak, Lokomotiv. 4 of them should spawn in the northern areas, as only Luzhniki is close to the Center
⭐️ The Kremlin. The Kremlin is always in its rightful place

Mini Metro has its own balance rules that are a bit complicated, so the concept above is not always respected by the game. The random nature makes it fun to play!

Citizens & Upgrades
Moscow residents are very demanding, so special stations appear more often than squares and triangles. This adds a special flavour to the map. Be sure to satisfy their needs.

Achievements and upgrade choices reflect current city naming conventions. After some time, the latest generation Moskva-2024 trains are unlocked. Metrovagonmash 🤍💙❤️

Moscow Metro Quirks
Moscow’s tradition of naming stations can confuse visitors: some transfer stations share a single name (e.g., Paveletskaya, Oktyabrskaya), while others have different names (e.g., Krasnopresnenskaya-Barrikadnaya, Serpukhovskaya-Dobryninskaya). The Moscow Metro crosses the river via tunnels and bridges, like at Kolomenskaya or Vorobyovy Gory. Therefore, a separate third upgrade always offers either a river crossing or an interchange.

Moscow is actively building new lines – here there are 14 of them, not including the Moscow Central Circle (MCC) or Moscow Central Diameters (MCD). ⚰️ Monorail.

Have fun!
Please write your suggestions regarding balance. I will be happy to upgrade the map.
