Norderhaven (European)
Norderhaven is a typical Dutch and German inspired north sea coastal landscape. The map consists of a lot of flat land and large river outfall suitable to build a big harbour.
You have to use a map theme that supports sand instead of dirt.
– Dunes and Dikes near coast and river
– A lot of flat land with a few hills and lakes
– Large river outfall
– Premade farmland and fields (this took way too long to make…)
– A sand beach near the starting tile with characteristic breakwaters
– You can plant up to 25.000 additional trees in your city (map comes with 225.000 planted trees)
– A large river
– As always, highways with perfect and constant distance between each other, even in curves and on bridges
– Realistic and expandable railroad infrastructure
– Accessible breathtaking overlooks
– Large highway bridge and premade train tunnel crossing the river
– The possibility to build a huge harbour
– A realistic handcrafted highway interchange
– Airline, ship, highway and train connections (duh.)
If you don’t want to dump you sewage into the ocean/river and ruin the aesthetics, just use the small lake in the starting tile to get rid of it. Trust me, thanks to it’s innovative drainage system, it won’t overflow. 9 out of 10 dentists confirm this.
But seriously, there is a water source that keeps the water at a specific level and water sources in C:S work "both ways" meaning if there is too much water, they will actually drain it.

I always recommend using this mod to make all map tiles usable.
For realistic tides and the true "Wattenmeer[en.wikipedia.org]" experience, use the Tides mod.
For the perfect German beach look, go get these: Strandbad (public bathing beach), Strandkorb #1 and Strandkorb #2 by bennymedia
