Den Drommel -Z-
A happy new year to you all!
To celebrate I’ve made a brand new map. It’s an idea that I’ve been working on for the past month. The map is split between a large open and flat area for your metropolis and a more rural area to the north that is surrounded by mountains. Across the peninsula is a mountain range, and to the south of the map is coastline with several islands and inlets. My idea was to have a nice flat space for big suburbs and plenty of room for various scenic villages.
Infrastructure
There are three highways and three railways. The highways form a nice ring around the centre, traffic on this should be favourable towards the starting tile. Two of the raillines are connected, a third railway ends in the valley. There is a lot of flat space, so finding a location for an airport shouldn’t be an issue. There is a ship route on the biggest river. All intersections are available for download in my Smooth Highway Collection.
Water
This map has three rivers and many lakes. The waterflow in the rivers should be very strong, I’ve not encountered any issues with flooding. There is a square reservoir in the northwest that you can use for pumps or treatment plants, but you can also use the natural lakes for that since each one has it’s own water source. There is a soft current along the shore, so be wary of sewage flowing into a bay. It might pollute your beaches.
Resources
The map has five big farmland regions in the corners of the map. There are six ore and seven oil fields, mainly located along the border, but there is a oil/ore combo next to the starting tile. Forests are scattered, and their terrrain is not completely flat. There should be more then enough locations for wind turbines, be it the coast or the hills.
I hope you enjoy the map. If you have suggestions or encounter any problems, please let me know in the comments. I’ve finally figured out how to update maps properly (by the way I’ve fixed the issues with my maps Mallemoer and Isla de Ambrosia) so I can probably resolve any issue you come across.
Have fun!
