Description:

Yes, I’ve updated the description 🙂

The city of Damascus:
An Oasis close to the desert

4 road connections
1 train
1 plane
No ships, you’re 680 m above sea level

Ore and oil in the mountains
Olives and pistachios on the plain.

The river is called the Barada, yes it’s a narrow river. The mountain, Mount Qasioun.

I suck at placing trees. And rivers. In fact, I’ve found the river runs dry when you pump out the water. A bit like real life in desert lands. If you’re a better map editor than I, and chances are that you are, you might make it work better.

The map theme I used was "Levant Coast" by MrMiyagi, Thank you!
With a bit of tweaking, you can get some good effects on the mountains, although it wasn’t made for mountains.
You can apply the theme with "Theme Mixer 2".

You have to use "Daylight Classic" mod (or something similar) with Levant Coast, or this theme is too bright.
I think it’s the Pre AD Sun intensity that’s the important setting. It’s called — Classic intensity. —
The classic sun position option in Daylight Classic screwed the EW sun path, I found.
It’s all a matter for your own tastes, though.

Update (2):

I didn’t know that a theme wouldn’t upload with the map. Well, it would if it were my own, apparently.
That’s a shame, if you credit the theme maker. It really was an inspiration. Never mind…
I’ve now linked the required mods, though not really required, more thoroughly recommended, if you want to try them.
I think it looks amazing when you get the streets down.

Any comments or suggestions welcome. And thank you for subbing. Peace
