Greetings!
Here is the (first) map I built ground up for my next city build idea and thought I'd share.

Features and Inspiration
- Realistic European - Inspiration taken from flying over Southern England (with a backdrop mountain to improve the vista). Capable of accommodating a mega city or small towns/villages. Flat and undulating terrain. 165k trees. 75% Building area.
- Low dependency - Can play 100% vanilla but recommend Move It for linking to some of the road network and Realistic theme. No assets but Mass Transit DLC required for added roads and policy
- Designed for the 9 or 25 tile player wanting detail in tiles that can't be reached
- Abandoned engineering - Scattered derelict industrial and agricultural facilities, construction roads, and human impact on environment ready to be bulldozed, repurposed or gentrified
- Realistic shipping (no crazy mobs of empty ships) - 4 routes that are not linked but can be be in the editor if you so wish. No "shipping clipping"
- Realistic river banks, coastlines and currents - no raging torrents and crazy looking high banks. However be cautious with flooding when terraforming!
- Strong initial high speed network (4 rail & 4 road connections) that diverts national traffic away from city centre including 1 "magic tunnel"
- Several possible self contained locations for sewage treatment and water supply

Bugs and Issues
- "Blue mantle" - a couple of locations that couldn't be avoided (cuttings/embankments). Can BonBonB find them?
- High speed rail points will have minimal "catenary chaos" as prefer this to trains slowing down and lurching drunkenly through points

Hats off to
BonbonB for their YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCu2E7WDF49QL3WwNqWA1Xrg and SamsamTS and Quboid for the utterly essential Move It mod

I'd be great to hear your feedback, suggestions and reviews. I hope you enjoy!

Does anyone have a non-DLC or NExt2 version?

Yep, when I was growing up in Kent I often thought we could do with a mountain backdrop. Personally, I would have replaced France with it.

Hi @NASCAR23XI. If you want to change the environment you would need Theme Mixer 2.5. Or why not just try another theme - I've changed it to Pdelmo's Euro 4K and looks really good! Thanks @Pickpockets, @Oxyligen, @driftwoodsaint, @stevegoodwin, @Alvand, & @Ghadkar (really enjoyed your lets play using this map :))

How can I change it from a European themed map? Or can you not do that? Love the map otherwise, just not a fan of the European theme.
