Riverlands

Description
Riverlands is european theme map inspired by river Rhône and surroundings of Avignon in France.

This map should be great for players starting their adventure with Cities Skylines as it has plenty of flat area to build and is 100% pure vanilla with no mods or assets required - only the map theme (NotSoRocky European) is recommended, but map is fully playable without it.

Remember, if you like this map, please rate. It helps community.

Overview
After some struggle with my previous, heavy detailed map, I was planning to create just normal, easy to play, vanilla map. Yet, I had to experiment again. After seeing some aerial photos of agricultural areas around the world I thought why not to create a map with farmfields in Cities Skylines and decided to give it a shot. I am moderately happy with final effect, but after "drawing" most of the fields, I thought that scrapping them would be a waste of time I already spent on this map.
So here it is, map with plenty of farmfields and lots of flat space to build. I hope you will like it ;-)

Features
  • European theme
  • Optimized for both 25 and 81 tiles gameplay.
  • All resources available.
  • All outside connections available.
  • Plenty of space to build.
  • Mostly flat, easy to build.
  • Farmfields, rivers, castles.
  • 100% vanilla (custom map theme recommended)

Note on countryside roads
Some of you may be asking - why not national road on countryside? The ansewer is simple - National roads require either Mass Transit DLC or Network Extensions 2 mod and this map is built to work without mods or DLC - 100% vanilla :-)

Note on trees
Whenever you build on trees they are not removed just hidden. I strongly suggest bulldozing/deleting in the area you want to build before starting it. It will increase trees and props limit and save you from unwanted hidden data.

Final notes
For gameplay on all, 81 tiles, please subscribe to 81 Tiles mod by BloodyPenguin.

Screenshots were taken with Daylight Classic mod by BloodyPenguin which I recommend using, NotSoRocky European map theme and Bonita Vista Valley (Official LUT) by Blackfrost.

For more options to tweak visuals I suggest Relight mod by Ronyx69 which gives you more possibilities to tweak lighting ingame and comes with a pack of nice looking LUTs as well as awesome Ultimate Eyecandy mod by Judazzz for even more options to adjust visuals to whatever you like.

This is by far the most beautiful map I have played. I love the rocky mountainside towering in the background when I'm cruising around in first person. It feels like a real place. The mix of geography and nice flat areas for building make this a great all-purpose map. I've had trouble with trains backing up at at the edge of the map. Not sure if this is a map problem or if I'm missing something. Even with this fruestration it's still 5/5 stars!

Warning: This map almost never allows high density 4x4 residential or commercial buildings on street intersections. (Corners) Low density work fine. Office not tested. Tested for almost a week with modded built to small city and experienced issue. Tested game several times removing more mods each time. (None made a difference.) Then tested map again on NEW game with only Game Anarchy installed. (To be able to zone hi res right away.) Problem still happened. Started 2 NEW games building up 2 new cities with ZERO mods and same thing happened. Tested 9 other vanilla maps, 3 Mr Miyagis, and 2 random others - and all of those worked fine with game anarchy only.
