The River Valley
The area lies around a thinning, but fast flowing, distributary river that meanders through the dry landscape of the scorching desert. It is perpetually fed by a larger river, ensuring it remains flowing all year round and leaving the landscape in and around it rich and teaming with flora. The surrounding desert has oil and ore deposits ready to be mined, with some oases littered around.
This is my first arid map, which, ironically, started off as a forest map. Nonetheless, the aim was to have a map with two mountain ranges with a river cutting through them. A small, flat terrain around the river is the main area for building, however, there are many flat areas in the drier terrain that offer building potential. The intention was to have a constrained environment between the mountains in which one can build small towns distributed along the river.
The map has 300k+ trees. I don’t know what will happen if you don’t have the Unlimited Trees mod so I’ve linked it as a requirement.
Connections: Rail, Car, Plane, no ship connection.
The following mods that affect graphics were at play for the screenshots:
- Laviante 2.0 – Map theme
- Relight – Relight3Kali – LUT
- Dynamic Resolution – 200%
I am building a city on this map on my YouTube channel. The playlist for the builds can be found here: Live stream series. Whilst there, feel free to explore the rest of my channel 😉
I hope you enjoy building your own city on this map. If you like the map and want to see more maps, please give it a thumbs up. It really helps get the map noticed by others, and it motivates me to keep creating.
BIG shout out to everyone on the live streams that contributed with ideas during the building of this map.
Happy building!
