There are abandoned houses and monuments all over the map, most of which I incorporated into parks themed around them. On the crescent islands that are almost all too steep to build I chose a monorail connector and then dirt and 1U roads wherever they would fit to low density housing. One island had an abandoned house next to a rock monument shaped like Stonehenge. The house became a witches hut, the henge became her altar. I added a water feature at the top with another rock arch. Where it crossed the road, the water formed a pond, so I added an animal spawning point for dolphins, with rocks allowing water to flow out, but not the dolphins. They were the witch's pets.
Thanks again! Funnest map I've played on. The geography is just a little extreme.
I loved playing on this map! Thank you for making it.
I managed to make so many cool parks and campuses. That big giant crater (the second one, not the main one) became my sewage outflow until it filled up. Then I built a recreational park with a rim road. An amusement park built into a crater shaped poop lake! Awesome!
On another mountaintop I placed a spiraling pedestrian path until at the very top there is a Chinese temple. To get the angles right on the path I didn't even use road anarchy, just continual trial and error. At the very top I did have to use MoveIt to place the temple.
Cool, I am glad you like it too =)
I probably do more maps in the future, but next one will probably be a ravine mountains snow map.
This is all fair critique
1. Yes, I agree it is unrealistic. I never designed any part of this map with realism in mind. More esthetics and geography influenced by real stuff.
2. Thank you. I will update my description. I think you are right, after thinking about it. If you buy all 8 squares on the main island, the ninth square would just buy you nothing useful. You are right, this map need the 25 tile mod.
I mostly based 9 tiles so it would be possible to build. Honestly, I playtested mostly with 25 tiles and designed around it but made it possible to build much smaller island in 9 tiles.
Shame it didn't work well for you. I may misled you by my description and I thank you sharing your experience. I will be updating my description to say people should be using the 25 tiles. I misjudged the default 9 tile playability
Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts and experiences. It will help others to avoid wasting time, that is in your situation.
1. the caldera is unrealistic. it may make for a pretty circle-city, but i don't think anyone would construct a city in a caldera, and it doesn't make sense logistically, anyhow, so I guess what I am saying is that the lack of realism regarding the caldera is an issue for me.
2. I was looking for an island map that I could play with the default 9 tiles so i can build a city and pursue the Steam acheivements I still need to earn. Your map needs the 25 tile or full map mod, which would make steam achievements unavailable for me...
So, after playing for a couple hours on your beautiful map I am afraid I am back to the Workshop looking for a map where I can make the city I want to make using the default 9 tiles.
