Description:

Fort Lowell is a boreal river valley/coast map.
It was made with my own custom Northguard Boreal Theme, but works fine with others too.

You don’t need any DLC or mods.

(It’s a good map for 25 Tiles or 81 Tiles if you use them, though. Screenshots were taken with Sharper Textures, Softer Shadows, Tree LOD Fix, and Daylight Classic.)

Required assets are mostly just Pdelmo’s low-tri trees and shrubs.

Area for building: 83%

Road: 4/4
Train: 2/4
Ship: 2/4
Plane: 3/4

• Lots of flat build plain
• Rivers, lakes, islands, beach
• Ready-made harbour & quayside
• Hydro dam powers start square
• Fertile fields in several locations (each 40×40 units = a big city block)
• Oil, ore & forest resources more naturally scattered
• 1 x water tower, 1 x water treatment plant already running
• Working toll booth (outside start square) gives a small cash boost
• All custom intersections

The map has ~200k trees placed, leaving ~50k left to place yourself if you want. (Delete some or use Unlimited Trees Mod if you need more!)

As ever, tunnels look filled-in until you unlock that tile, but they work fine either way.

I wanted to avoid using DLC or road mods. Lane mathematics are tricky with vanilla, but they work here. I play-tested the map to 10k population, and had no traffic flow issues at all.

Recommended theme: Northguard Boreal Theme
Recommended LUT: Relight Average

Enjoy!

PS, ‘Fort Lowell’ was random. Seems there was a real one in 1800s Arizona – this isn’t it. 🙂
