Good maps

[Vlambulance-YouTube]

Im having a real struggle finding a good map to play on.
Can you guys suggest a NON workshop map?
I have all the DLC except for promenades and plaza.

any why that one?

Have you considered using the editor to make your own? It's really sort of fun and priced to sell.

This is a good realistic build if you're looking for an industry challenge.

Seems people may be misreading the question.

I take it that 'NON workshop' means vanilla, perhaps for achievement purposes

So it would be useful if the OP told us which DLC's they have, if any.

To be honest. making my own map scares me haha.

Well, since you have not posted any preferences that you want it your city, it is impossible to advise you on a map. We need to know a lot of criteria to properly advise you.

Just pick a map and go. When looking at a new map, make sure there is no red X on any of the maps. Like some don't have airport support, oceans, natural resources, etc. Some have only one highway, 4 are possible for each network type (4xair, 4xtrain, 4xships, and 4xhighways).

I like base maps of foggy hills and green plains are fairly flat with a lot of buildable areas.

I also noticed some maps do say that they got river connection for ships,
But when looking at the tiles it does not have a connection according to the tile info.

[MarkJohnson]

If a river turns, the shipping lines won't connect. It has to have a straight line of sight to the shipping line itself.

If making your own map scares you, You'll never survive the city.

Even if you don't want to make a map, I advise going into a vanilla map and making a few changes to the highway network, and connections, to get best use.

Also, it really helps boats if bridges are properly elevated high enough, and you don't have pillars going through the line. So I redo the road first, then the water connections, then the air, then the rail.

I also like to ensure I have a genuine E-W and N-S highway so that I don't get all traffic from the left side or the right side. I also like to ensure I have two non-connected rail networks, one going N/W another going S/E, which allows me to use one for only passengers and the other for only freight. I might make a few water adjustments to provide each fish of SH.
