once again i shall build a new city in this great valley

This map. This map is like the ex-girlfriend that I can't stop thinking about and meeting someone new because of. I literally cannot find another nearly-perfect map, so I guess I'll just build a third city here again :P. EXCELLENT WORK

Heya again Giggily, map is forming nicely, but its more of a new map then the old creation, I want to ask you if you want me to set you up as a co creator for this map, Im also sending you a friend invite for further discussions.

Thanks Giggily I post a link when its done

That'd be fine.

Heya Giggily , nice map is it ok with you if I use the heightmap from this map and make a temperate version of it with one of my temperate themes ?

Thats the kind of map i was looking for! Thank you so much! :)

I seriously dreaded laying down traintracks and highways, especially on the bumpy maps I made. I did the best I could manage, but I'm pretty bad! If you don't like the quality of the roads feel free to open the map in the editor and redo them. I think you have to save a new version of the map, but redoing the roads should be possible.

The theme and landscape of this map is really nice. Thanks for your work!

But, I have a problem with most of the pre-built train tracks und highways. They are not really beautiful for the eye. Most of the highways are not close to parallel. The train tracks are not smooth but bumpy as hell.

And if you only use 25 tiles mod there is an ugly highway right outside buyable terrain at the coast. I think I have to use 81 tiles mod the first time to fix that.

Anyway .... yes, I'll try to use the map for a new city. Thanks for creating it!

Beautiful map!

Love it! Has a really nice swiss vibe to it :)

Well, this got a few more subs than I thought it would.

@Hoxton: Draw water from the lakes, not the river. I was able to sustain up to 40k~ pop while barely making a dent in one of the two.

@MrMiyagi, I'll try that out for the map I'm currently working on. Hopefully it works.

@Beam, I'm glad you like the map. I have no clue what you're talking about in the video, but it's always interesting to see how people tackle the same terrain.

Excellent!!

One of the greatest maps I've ever played. Sadly, I was forced to stop playing on it because I can't manage water. Seems like there isn't enough water to sustain high population. I had 28000 inhabitants and couldn't find a solution to get enough water and/or clean water.

I hope you'll be able to fix that, maybe by adding some "water spawns" in some of your river beds in order to create a better water flow through your rivers.

Hey Giggily, while making my new map, which has tons of little rivers, I found a solution to if / when the rivers fluctuate. Put another water spawn in the center of your river (the highest elevation as which it fluctuates) Set the water height to exactly the level you want it to stay at, and what the water spawn will do is ensure that the water at its part of the river is always at that specific height, no more, no less. Hope that makes sense. If not, I can show you an image of how I did this in my own river.

Beautiful map and probably my favorite. Works perfectly with the European theme.

@ Giggily - Sehr schöne Map und Danke Beam fürs Video :)

I took the map for my new city on youtube ( https://youtu.be/lftcT7gCyyI )
Awesome job man!

I actually didn't come up with any of the techniques related to shaping the mountains, so I really can't take credit for how they came out. But, you can follow this guide to reproduce my process:

The looks of the mountains and hills in this map are really great and the best out of all the maps I've seen so far. Splendid job done! Maybe you could do a guide on how to create the best looking hills so that the community can benefit from your expertise? :)

I'm not sure what causes the issue with the rivers. Unless I'm mistaken the water sources on this version of the map are higher than they are on the Boreal one. I tried them lower, higher than they are now, etc. and was running into issues. I gave up trying to figure out what the issue was after four or five hours, but if someone else knows and fills me in I'll try to get a fixed version of the map.

Ultimately, though, it's not a huge issue. I haven't seen the rivers bottom out yet in game, the only way I noticed it was sitting in the editor at 99x speed for a while. The issue may ultimately resolve itself over the course of several hours, I haven't really looked.

Thanks for the complements, though.

Looks really nice :D

My jaw dropped! This is stunning! Excellent work! So, what might be the cause of that river issue where they bottom out? I'm not quite sure what could cause that. Maybe increase the water capacity of the water spawns? Anyway, this is beautiful!

Love it!
