Map Pack Germany: Rheinland-Pfalz

Map Pack Germany: Rheinland-Pfalz is the 9th Map Pack that i have created. After a brake of like half a year i return to Transport Fever to bring you all another edition of my quest to make maps of all the states of Germany. This time the focus is the state of Rheinland-Pfalz in the west of Germany. The state borders France, Belgium and Luxemburg, and some border areas also are featured in this map map.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Setup of the Map Pack:

When i started making this Map Pack i noticed there are a number of smaller railways in this state. I decided to make this the focus of this map pack. I have gotten lots of comments on my map packs of people complaining the insane size of my maps make them unplayable for a lot of people, and while i still want to make 6k maps, i also wanted this map pack to include some maps that are palyable for everyone. The smaller railways made it possible to keep the size down for a number of the maps in this map pack.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Discription of all the 9 maps in this Map Pack:

Main Map: This map is the largest one. It includes all of the state Rheinland-Pfalz and some bordering areas, including some of the Ruhr area, the east side of the Rhine, part of the Sauerland, and the border of France, Luxemburg and Belgium (and 1 city in the Netherlands). Now i hear all of you say: WHY IS THERE NO RHINE IN MY RHEINLAND??? Well, i tried. It wasn't possible. The size of the area, combined with the height difference made it impossible to fit any river into this map without insane cliffs on the river side.
