Description:

I finally managed to find the time and finish a map that I’ve started on over a year ago. Welcome to the city of Melk, Austria, famous for its Baroque Abbey. The area also marks the beginning of Wachau Cultural Landscape, a World Heritage Site, which extends further downstream along the Danube and is known for its excellent wines and apricots.

The map is not intended as a 1:1 recreation. I’ve made some changes to improve gameplay possibilities. If you are from that area and think I’ve done injustice to your beautiful home, please accept my sincere “is mir wurscht”.

Please make sure to subscribe to everything in the map collection.

Suitable area for building: 62%
Ground resources are mainly used for painting, but can be harvested at some spots.
Trees: ~570,000. Unlimited Trees Mod will be needed! (Sorry, I can never contain myself. But they are mainly low poly trees)
All connections available.
However, as already for my other Austrian map, this is an inland river-map. Tankers and cruise ships are not supposed to be here and would look very weird. I also did not adjust any bridges for such ships! Therefore, my same hint as for Bruck:

River shipping:

Please use Advanced Vehicle Options to block large ships from spawning and use river ships like for example these:
River Ship by SwissCH
Small River Container Ship by LeeTowers
or others from the workshop.

If you don‘t want to use shipping at all, you can either disable all ships from spawning with AVO or load the map in the editor and delete the ship path.

I have tried to recreate the Melk hydroelectric power plant. It generates about 300 MW, which I think is enough considering it’s free energy. You’ll have to connect to it yourself though.
