Setting:

Based on the heightmap of the real life location of Orcas Island in the San Juan Islands in Washington State, USA. This is a fantasy take, rather than recreation of the area.. It’s a series of islands and flooded fjordland in a boreal region. It is very mountainous however you will find plenty of build space between breath-taking vistas.

LUT: Relight3 Kali LUT from the relight series of LUTS.

Theme Is the Orcas Island Theme and is a theme mix of Not So Rocky Hills, Ryebluffs, the "sand" texture from Moraine Farmlands and CO’s Boreal theme.

Trees: Tree LOD fix is necessary, or you will have an ugly looking map. There are 249,500 trees, so you may wish to consider the unlimited trees mod. The trees in this map are all made by the multi-talented Greyflame so special thanks goes to him.

Gameplay: This is a challenging map aimed for the intermediate player with a reasonable computer who’s more interested in gameplay than super detailing. The start square sits on two layers with a mountain backdrop on one side and fast flowing ocean on the other. Expand across the bridge for supplies of ore, and expand south to find oil. This map contains copious amounts of all the different types of fish.

If you prefer 81 tile gameplay then there is some good build spaces outside the 25 tiles, through this requires the 81 tile mod.

Lastly… hope you enjoy the map and have a nice day. (If you like this kind of terrain, consider looking at my first map "Lapparently Not"
