Map is based on real-world location in South-east Finland on coast of Finnish Bay and Baltic Sea. Kymi means "large river" in Old Finnish. City of Kotka (about 50 000 people) covers the coastal parts of the land area, but the real-world city centre is not on the start tile. Use for example 81 tiles mod if you like to re-create Kotka.

Kymi river divides into two main branches just outside this map area and eastern branch later splits to 3 mouths: Langinkoski, Huumanhaara and Korkeakoski on central map area. Elevations on the map are as they are typical in Southern Finland, no mountains but lots of rolling hills, some small lakes, ponds and rivers.

Highway E18 from Helsinki to Saint Petersburg passes through the area, and there also two smaller roads (357 and 15) to north. I have handmade the main city roads, intersections an rural roads loosely based on maps and satellite images. I knew almost nothing of this area so there are likely errors :)

There are 2 rail connections (+ 3rd rail unconnected to network, more direct route to Helsinki which does not exist yet in real-world). City has many harbour/industrial areas and there are 4 ship connections.

There is lot of forest resource, 186 000 trees. Map would have looked more realistic with even more trees but I didn't want to require Unlimited trees mod. There is farmland and I placed ore to mark real-world quarries, harbours and industrial areas and oil to have some ares more lush green (as oil resource is green in the theme). Theme I used is Scotland Euro (Vale of Leven in game).

Fortifications and ruins on map are called Kyminlinna (Castle of Kymi) and Ruotsinsalmi Seafortress (Fort Katarina, Fort Elisabeth, Fort Slava), they were built by Russians in late 1700s and early 1800s. During the Crimean War in 1855, a British-French fleet destroyed the Ruotsinsalmi fortifications.




Kartta pohjautuu Kotkan seutuun eli Kymijoen itäiseen suuhun Suomenlahden rannalla. Kymi tarkoittaa muinaissuomeksi suurta jokea. Kotkan keskusta ei ole aloitusruudussa, joten suosittelen esim. 81 tiles modia, jos haluat uudelleenrakentaa Kotkan.

Kymijoki haarautuu kahteen päähaaraan juuri alueen ulkopuolella ja tämä itäinen haara jakautuu kolmeen suuhun: Langinkoskeen, Huumanhaaraan ja Korkeakoskeen kartan keskivaiheilla. Kartan pinnanmuodot on Etelä-Suomelle tyypillisiä, ei vuoria mutta mäkiä ja kumpuja, muutama pieni järvi, lampi ja jokia.

E18 moottoritie Helsingistä Pietariin kulkee alueen halki ja pohjoiseen johtaa valtatie 15 ja tie 357. Tein myös muita tärkeimpiä alueen katuja, tietä ja liittymiä karttojen ja satelliittikuvien pohjalta. En juurikaan tunne seutua, joten virheitä varmasti on :)

Rautatieyhteyksiä on kaksi valmiina, lisäksi voit rakentaa suoran yhteyden Helsinkiin, se on sijoitettu todellisen Helsinki-Pietari radan linjausvaihtoehdon mukaan. Kartalla on monta valmista teollisuus- ja satama-aluetta sekä neljä laivayhteyttä.

Metsää on suomalaiseen tapaan paljon (186 000 puuta, joten ei tarvetta Unlimited trees -modille) ja jonkin verran maatalousmaata. Malmialueilla olen merkinnyt lähinnä oikean maailman kivilouhimot, isommat teollisuus- ja satama-alueet, öljyllä (tummanvihreä) rehevämmät kasvustoalueet. Käyttämäni teema on Scotland Euro (pelissä nimellä Vale of Leven).

Alueella on muutamia venäläisten 1700-1800-lukujen vaihteessa rakentamia linnoituksia ja raunioita: Kyminlinna ja Ruotsinsalmen merilinnoitus johon kuuluvat Fort Katarina, Fort Elisabeth ja Fort Slava. Brittiläis-Ranskalainen laivasto tuhosi jälkimmäisen Krimin sodassa vuonna 1855.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2500548870 - Here is version without Network Extension roads, replaced to Mass Transit add-on roads
prepo  [author] May 28, 2021 @ 12:08pm 
@cbtendo - I could try to replace Network Extension roads with Mass Transit add-on roads -- there are lane math in some places of map, it would not work so well with just plain vanilla roads, I think.

this map looks beautiful. I want to try it but I am unsubbing network extension 2 to save on ram and migrating to vanilla+ roads.

May I request a non network extension 2 version?
