Lockett Bay v1.0

Hello and welcome to my third Steam-release map. Thank you for visiting, I hope you like this enough to download it and give it a try.

Set across the sea from Eastern Cliff Straits, in Bonny Scotland - we find ourselves getting warmer and finding a lush natural bay with shipping bringing valuable materials to the remote northern coast.

Notes:
Though the theme is called Scotland Euro, in game you need to look for 'Vale of Leven'

I tinkered with building a port already (and during the course of making this map I built 2 whole ports and then got rid of them!) but I decided to let you guys choose where stuff goes. You can plop in-game ports along the diagonal quay and the shipping route will link automatically.

Because of the way I've built the waterflow (Took around 2 weeks to stop huge tidal waves!) the map doesn't recognise water in the top left corner, which is why my shipping had to circle back. I made it go to the far corner so that it wouldn't 'look' like they were doing a circuit!

I think the assets are all listed in required items, but if something looks funny let me know and I'll check if I've missed something (Steam uploading required items interface isn't the most easy to use!)

If you have seen my other content, you know that I rate a creator called BonBon B for his WhatMap YouTube review series, which I need to credit for basically making me work hard on getting these maps to a semi decent standard. He forces his indentured workforce to mercilessly check their maps to ensure:

No clipping lamp posts in overpasses
No road/rail overlapping anarchy
No rail slopes that you notice, despite needing to put rails at different heights!
Small trees in cuttings
Small trees at forest edges (I went a bit more brush happy with the new amazing Forest Brush, so all a bit more mental on this map!)
Sensible Junctions, with no 'elevated' barrier just before joining the main carriageway
Discreet bridges with long gentle slopes

I did a few other tweaks on this map, biggest challenges were:
Make sure waterflow is strong by the start square
Make sure waterflow doesn't go -into- the bay (this was quite tricky!)
I did get a critique about rivers only converging and never diverging when I got my last map reviewed but that was only yesterday so the fact that it does that here is coincidental (or he mentioned it in another map review!)

I also have to thank all the wonderful asset creators who made making this map prettier than my last attempt, you folks all rock. And modders like The Bloody Penguin and others who make map editing much more powerful than the vanilla game!

Obviously thank -you- for downloading, hopefully rating and liking the map and playing it. If anyone is a YouTube city builder and wants to use one of my maps in their next series, let me know! :)
