the cliffs aren't too steep, the designer is just making it easier to use a "bay Bridge asset and undercut the easement to put a train track under a bridge

hi dood

hey dood

To the point of the previous comment you can adjust the sea level for yourself, however, note that if you decide to use dams you are guaranteed to flood your city. Also 177 still caused natural overflow in my test without building anything. 150 worked as a better sea level that did not have natural overflow from the game's waterflow simulation. The other thing I did that seemed to work before setting the sea level to 150 is removing the water sources on either side of Ward's Island. Even at 150 though it is likely that when some foundations are built by the coast there may be water flooding. This is just me guessing because I have not actually played on the map yet. I only ran the simulation in the map editor just observing waterflow over time specifically.

The water height can be easily fixed by going to the map editor and changing the sea level to 177.

Like the others have said already, the cliffs are too steep. Other then that its a great map

nice work but if you could lower the cliffs, they are indeed too steep

Good job

cliffs are too steep. Was only able to find 2 spots to place harbors.

@MrXanathos, yeah i've had the same issue, I really don't understand it, i've been trying to get used to the way the water needs to be setup but I just can't get it to work as well as the vanilla maps

Hello Highlander... I just wanted to advice you that i have installed a dam in the map and it doesn't work... Dunno if you were aware about it. Hi!

Am I the only one who cant make a harbor because its all cliffs? Other then that, its amazing!

Did you use terrain.party?

Is it flipped around so north is south and south is north?

even if u play on this map, you literally dont have any other building than a statue of liberty to complete nyc. #Morelandmarks #needed

Looks good man.

NIce

Of course! Keep up the good work :)

@Joeri, I will start developing a scaled down version, and @Pablo, Wow thank you, that is so so cool

Definitely like it!

I wanted to let you know we have selected this mod as part of our curated mod list. Hope that is okay with you!

@Joeri use the Buy All Tiles mod...

or you can just edit starting grid in map editor

Works as advertised, without the problems I encountered in the first version. However, this map is a little too big for my taste. I'm afraid I won't be able to "buy" my way to downtown Manhattan using the expansions, as Manhattan is too far away. My knowledge about New York's topography is too limited to exactly say where you start, therefore I will simply call it "somehwere on the east bank". Any chance a smaller version is on the way, one which will allow players to eventually buy a large part of Manhattan, and simply start there?
