[edit] Worldwide
Aren't there several "Citadels" all around the world? Is the term "Citadel" actually only specific to the one located in City 17? - Noahferfer 16:48, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
- Presumably there is one in every major city, plus Kliener mentions "linked Citadel reactors" in Episode 1, however, the City 17 one is the only one we've been inside.
It also is clearly visible that there are numerous other Citadels outside Earth, as seen through an off-world portal which Dr. Breen intends to enter during the final moments of Half-Life 2, and a citadel off the coast of a beach gordon sees when klieners teleporter goes wrong.
- Isn't the "off the coast" one just the City 17 Citadel? 60.240.3.70 07:34, 12 July 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Past tense
I'm a bit divided on whether using past tense in articles like these is a good idea. Besides the fact that asserting throughout the article that it no longer exists is something of a spoiler, the wording is sort of awkward written this way.
"The Citadel was the Combine's headquarters on Earth, which also housed the office of Administrator Wallace Breen. It was located in City 17." Was located in City 17? It still is, it's just not in one piece.
I think we should stick with present tense unless we're specifically talking about events in the storyline. --MattyDienhoff 02:32, 18 January 2009 (UTC)
[edit] How Long?
How long do you think the Combine had to build that Citadel for (including other citadels around mother Earth. --Mega Sean 45 00:41, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
- I seem to recall an official source claiming that they appeared overnight, meaning they were obviously pre-assembled. --MattyDienhoff «talk» 18:01, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
[edit] Diggers
I was just peeking into the first citadel map with Hammer, and I noticed that those huge pistons pounding the ground around the citadel are referred to as "digger". IE, "Track_digger1_1". This seems to add some clarification to them. --Fireman V2 18:14, 2 July 2009 (UTC)
- What map?... Klow 18:22, 2 July 2009 (UTC)
- Just the first citadel map, D3_citadel_01 I believe. It's the only one included in .VMF format with the SDK. --Fireman V2 19:26, 2 July 2009 (UTC)
