New Orkney

Welcome to New Orkney! A boreal map inspired by the Scottish Orkney Islands, featuring rugged terrain and a large flat build area split over multiple islands.

Farming, ore and oil resources are plentiful around the edges of the map to allow builders to enjoy the new Industries DLC.

I love playing with road layouts, and so decided to create a map featuring a fully developed highway system with many custom interchanges. I've tried to make the roads as natural and realistic as possible, and added roundabout nodes leading to most build areas to enable the city builder to jump straight in.

I envisage this map being used for a large city build. It has terrain and water features allowing the city builder to use many of the various expansion features like water or aerial transport.


Play Notes:

- Being an island based map, water is all on the same elevation and as such this map is not suitable for Hydroelectric Power Dams. Although water elevation is flat, there is a strong water-flow running north to south through the main river, with a drain in the mouth of the main river to deal with pollution.

- The map has been play tested to ensure all connections work well.

- Bridges have been designed to allow the largest ships to pass underneath without clipping.

- The map is intended to be used with the 25 tile mod. You can use the full 81 tiles if you wish, but buildable land outside of the 25 tiles is minimal.


Hope you enjoy this map!
