Realistic UK – Portsmouth
Portsmouth is an historic English port on the south coast and traditional home of the Naval dockyards. The area has interesting topography and should be a fun map to play regardless of whether you want to try and recreate the real-world city or design something from scratch.
This is the first in a series of realistic UK maps I’m planning to do and was created using an imported height map. Although much of the main 25-tile area has been flattened to aid city-building, all of the coastline, marshland, roads, railways and shipping lanes have been placed in their real-world locations using an OpenStreet overlay.
If you want to use the overlay, you can find it at the link below:

REQUIRED ITEMS AND OPTIONAL EXTRAS – PLEASE READ before commenting
You will need the Network Extensions mod as this map uses some non-vanilla road type.
If you want the map to look as it does in the screenshots, you will need the items included in the "Portsmouth" collection below which includes:
The "Britannia" map theme
Four tree models
The excellent "Cinematic HD" LUT by OWL (this is the only LUT I ever use!)
The necessary overlay mod if you want to use the linked OpenStreet map (the overlay should be perfectly aligned without any adjustment required).

I haven’t been able to test this map extensively so if you spot any problems, let me know.
If you like this map, please rate it!
