Netherlands real 6k heightmap, random cities random industry

Description
A 6K square map of the Netherlands, with an accurate heightmap (though slightly tweaked for gameplay reasons) and navigable rivers/canals. I've noticed no existing Netherlands map has a true heightmap, so I made this version, where real hills, like the Utrechtse heuvelrug, Veluwe, Zuid-Limburg, etc. are included.

The border is visualised as a small hill. Does also include parts of Belgium and Germany. A version with towns is coming soon!

To make this map work (it's bigger than normally allowed), please follow this guide: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=800163983

Update: forgot to point to how to enable bigger maps

Actually I used that same height map, but I tweaked alot so it became more playable. So at the time of posting it did already exist ;) https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=813906642

Can you make one with the real city layout and random industrie?

Well... Im new to that game - sorry - so my question(s) seems to be a little bit noobish. I did that "experimentalMapSizes = true". After that, i just want to start a sandbox game. I choose all my mods, lead them... After that, were can I choose this map?

I just released a dutch map mod that is based on a alternated coppy of your map. If you have any problems with it, or want to claim to be one of the creators of the map, please add me as a friend so we can talk about it. If you want to check te mod out yourself: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1096442405

This was my source for the height data: http://srtm.csi.cgiar.org/SELECTION/inputCoord.asp

and microdem to export it into png: https://www.usna.edu/Users/oceano/pguth/website/microdem/microdemdown.htm

Using various guides for this and other games, including: https://www.tt-forums.net/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=27052

What did you use to create your heigthmap, or where did you find the heightmap.
Have tried myself to find good heightmaps for creation of maps but have always come up empty.
Fantastic map by the way

I prefer realism in distances between cities. So I would personally go for as few cities as possible.

Yes, I've done about 10/12 provinces with real cities, though I'm still deciding how many to include. A map this size can support a lot more than 20 cities, I think it'll land at more than 100, so that every national rail route can have at least a few stations, if you go for realism.

Are you also going to do a version with real cities (e.g. the biggest 20, for example?)
