Description:

The map is based on the real city of Bucharest, Romania. The elevation and the rivers are as much as closed to the reality as possible. Unlike in real life, the inner and outer rings are highways but I tried to make the intersections with them almost like the real ones(eg. Sudului Plaza, Baba Novac, Mucii Plaza, Obor Plaza, Victoriei, Grozavesti etc.). This way you can create a traffic efficient city but at the same time preserve the form of the city. The outer ring is closer to the city than in real life because it wouldn’t fit into the map.
The real city is known for it’s traffic issues but with the city’s ring roads as highways you can create a traffic efficient city unlike any romanian can imagine:D
If you want to recreate the city, use the image overlay mod and the overlay image in the description. The mod and the image will help you recreate most of the roads. Follow the instructions in the mod if you haven’t used it. You will need to rotate the image 180 degrees . Either rotate the image from an image editor or from the mod.

Gameplay recommendations:
You will start by having the small river as a source of water. It’s good for a start but as you progress, it’s best to take the water from the big lake to the west or the river(lakes) from the north.
To make the central river look cool, you can add quays along the roads on it’s banks. I would’ve add them but you cannot add quays in the map editor.

Mods and DLCs required:
Check the required items list for mods used. They are mainly for vegetation. You will also need mass transit DLC.
