Description:

Welcome to Crake Atoll! This map is set in the island of Tarawa, Kiribati, but with some minor changes (hence the fantasy name). It’s a small tropical atoll in the Pacific Ocean, but with enough land for a normal CS game. I hope you enjoy the map!

—- DETAILING —-

The map is very light and there isn’t much detailng, most of the work went into the underwater terrain.
I used the Fiore LUT with some Relight settings to make shallow water look a bit less blue (see the screenshot, you can adjust the first slider for your preferred brightness).
I put no screenshots for height, wind and water, since it’s quite obivius that the ocean is flat, windy and full of water.

—- GAMEPLAY —-

I built the two small highways in a way that won’t get you any irrealistic traffic passing through your city. For even more realism you can just delete the highway you’re not using and build an harbor/airport (there is enough room for that on the main island).
Just outside the start square, in the ocean, there is a water spawn point that will suck away your sewage and also creates enough waterflow to allow for a water pump, so you don’t have to use the water in the lagoon.
You don’t really need any mod to play this map (like 81 tiles) since land is mostly in few specific tiles, so you can play this like a normal vanilla game. You can easily reclaim some land from the shallow water in the lagoon if you want, but the water in the ocean is a lot deeper and it’ll make that a lot harder.
