Challenging Map: Advice for beginners and the traffic-challenged
Because of the challenge level of this map, we designed in some elements to make sure the map is successfully playable as a map for large cities. While Czardus will be choosing a more challenging 2nd square, if you are not confident in managing traffic, I recommend the neighboring square with an interstate as the first expansion of your city limits(see images above to find it). The interstate intersection for that square is a low volume exit like you would find for many small town exits, so that in itself will still mean that the map is challenging even if you follow my suggested expansion strategy.

The map's start square is laid out to simulate the natural growth of a town in the Midwest of the United States. The two lane highways that go through the start square simulate the historic US highways, the system that pre-dates the construction of the 1950s Eisenhower interstate highway system. A railroad also runs through the start square. Water supply is significant. Place your fresh water intake at the furthest upstream part of the start square, and place your sewage outflow at the downstream location. There are large water spawns that will provide worry-free sewage and fresh water separation.

Topography Design
The map started out as a real heightmap for Rock Island, Tennessee. While the unusual river layout and some higher areas were preserved, much of the rest of the map has been worked over to more closely resemble the meandering Illinois River as it passes by Starved Rock State Park, IL. This topography is typically meandering rivers with islands and oxbow lakes, with small cliff sides rising from the area that has been carved out by the rivers. Thus, features like river islands and lakes were added. The bridges across the river usually runs from cliff top to cliff top on the other side, so this is also reflected in this map's design.

I absolutely love this map and hope that it gets converted to Cities Skylines 2 someday.

@Sxbaru that would be a mod issue rather than a map issue.:steamsad:

Is it just me or does anyone else's game go blue once you get to the loading screen?

can you take off the dlc please?
MrMiyagi  [author] Jan 9, 2021 @ 6:06am 
Aha! I didn't think of that - with a lot of issues, the game can be "put back in order" by verifying integrity of local game files. I should have mentioned that. :D

In case you don't know how that's done, here's a quick clip demonstrating how to do it. https://youtu.be/dGMkYLu091s

Happy mayoring! :chirp:

Hi, I tried the map again and it started working. It must have been some odd thing that was happening yesterday with my computer.

Yes I'm using mods but I'm using another map of yours and works wonderfully. I'll send the screenshot later in a different message. I can lay down the plots and everything but when I select the pipes it won't show lit up with the circle so I can't pay them down.

Hmm. That's strange. Are you using any mods? They might cause some problems. If you want help, take a screenshot of what you're seeing when you try to put pipes down so I can see what's up.
