Description:

Hachiju Islands is based on a rural set of islands off the coast of Japan. This map presents a unique building experience unlike any other on Cities Skylines where the buildable land is limited and the mountains are steep. Real ocean currents in place provide a wide variety of fishing options and resources are available in key points around the map.

This map is best played with the 81 tiles mod, but it is also playable with just the base 25 or vanilla.

To get the real Japan experience I recommend using the Ragnorok Disasters mod and setting tsunami to 1.5-3 magnitude max, and the earthquakes to sub 5 magnitude max. All other disasters turned off.

This map has realistic underwater terrain so consider land reclamation for more buildable surface. Also, consider working on the river beds in order to reclaim precious flat lands in the valleys.

About This Map:
-One highway connection at start, one additional on far side of the map
-One train connection at start, one additional on far side of the map
-Full air and sea connections throughout
-Water has current that allows for all types of fish
-Start has highway connection with off ramp and small amount of road to begin on
-Terrain is steep and building area limited without terraforming, choose your next tile wisely

I have had a blast building on this map as the terrain is one of a kind and presents a unique challenge unlike any other map I’ve found so far!
