Description:

UPDATE 2017: Added Boreal with Snowy Peaks theme.

Challenging – limited space, but very interesting. This is a special request by someone who has climbed Snowdon, the highest mountain in Britain outside of Scotland with a famous hiking trail, the Snowdon Horseshoe. They requested that Snowdon be included in the playable area. In order to do so, the scale was altered enough to fit in some playable area to just barely capture the sea access in the far south.

Great views of Snowdon are on the end of that video

This area is bordering the Conwy Wales map diagonally, and I am considering another connecting map, Caernarfon and Bangor.

If the climb is too much for you, there is a cog railroad that goes up from Llanelli to the summit.
That Snowdon cog railway line is included here as one of the four rail connections!

Each lake has a full power water spawn, so water access and ability to dump sewage into lakes (why though?? XD) is almost limitless. You can send your sewage out to sea on the coast, too.

24 tile mod will be required to reach Snowdon itself and to make the most of this map, since there are larger playable areas both in the lowlands and in the high snowy areas, but they are sometimes distant from the start area with narrow playable access at times.

This map also has some of the decorative fields seen in Conwy, but they are outside of the playable area to the south, and serve as nice background for your main city area (start area)

The Terrain Texture mod will be required to make this snowcapped Snowdon map appear right.

Terrain Texture Changer Mod Instructions:

Download the textures and be sure to name each with their file name listed:

*********The sand is the only different one from the Conwy map, it makes the snow"""""""""""

In order to go back to the regular colors, all you have to do is move them out of this folder and reload the map or savegame.

1. Subscribe to the TerrainTextureReplacer mod http://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/?id=416966387

2. Create a new folder at this location C:UsersYOUR NAME HEREAppDataLocalColossal OrderCities_SkylinesAddonsModsTerrainTextureReplacer. You will have to create this folder yourself within the existing Mods folder, be sure it is named TerrainTextureReplacer. Place the textures you downloaded previously in this folder. Whatever terrain images/colors you wish to replace, put a copy of them here. If you only want to change one (like sand into snow), you can put just one. Whatever is not in this folder will display the default terrain colors. (If you don’t put a cliff_texture in here, it will show the original cliff colors).

Fire up the game, turn on the mod from the Main Menu and start a new game with the map! Before opening another map, you can always turn the mod off to turn off the terrain changer, or move them to a separate storage folder to use different custom textures. Very easy!
