Description:

This map was modeled after Conway, New Hampshire, USA (43.978847, -71.118481). It’s a semi rural area near the White Mountains with small interstates right through town square and iconic covered bridges. There are many dirt roads in real life and small developments. There is also an old railway connection that was abandoned and severed when car dependency rose, but I connected it again if you want to play through history or revitalize it. It has almost 2.6M trees so you will need Tree Anarchy and a good computer to play. Surprisingly, it looks great with just vanilla trees and no custom assets! Start square has water and natural resources but I recommend using water towers so you don’t dry the river. Recommended for intermediate+ players who want to feel guilty cutting down the forest for development.

Required Mods:

• Tree Anarchy – set the maximum tree limit > 2,600,000 trees
• Optimized Outside Connections – without this dummy traffic will overwhelm the starting highways and is unplayable

Recommended Mods:

• Theme Mixer
• Render It! – import my settings: https://pastebin.com/LqWW17JD
• 81 Tiles 2
• TM:PE – Used for a few intersections
• Node Controller Renewal – Used for a few intersections
• Intersection Marking Tool – Used for a few intersections
• Network Anarchy
• Network Multitool
• Move it
• Forest Brush Revisited – Forest trees: 5% Boreal Pine, 100% Eastern Cottonwood, 10% Generic Pine Tree, 100% Horse Chestnut, 100% Live Oak, 10% Sugar Maple #1

Recommended Map Theme:
It looks just as good with the vanilla Temperate theme but feel free to customize as desired.

• Revi 4k
• Conway, NH Theme Mix – Includes atmosphere settings in addition to the map theme

Assets:
Vanilla

DLC:
Mass Transit

1. Enable mods in Content Manager.
2. In the Options Panel, Optimized Outside Connections -> Disable Dummy Traffic -> Road Traffic.
3. In the Options Panel, select Tree Anarchy. Main Options tab -> set Maximum Tree Limit > 2,600,000 trees, uncheck Lock Forestry, uncheck Persistent lock on forestry resources. Tree Anarchy tab -> uncheck Tree Anarchy.
4. Start the map.
5. If you have TMPE, delete the default dummy traffic that spawns on the road. Otherwise you can wait until the traffic un-jams. There shouldn’t be any more through traffic after it clears, so carefully plan your development accordingly to road capacity.

Bonus Challenge:
Load it in map editor, place a train station with Find it, bulldoze outside highway connections, and play transit oriented development.

Made in game version 1.15.0-f7. Although I’ve been playing for a while, this is my first map 🙂
