The Marsh

The map contains lots of detailing from edge to edge, great for cinematics. 600K trees, thousands of hand-placed props and trees. Due to the level of detail, this map is obviously a bit heavy to run so low end systems might struggle. 81/25 tiles recommended.



Now, first up this map needs a tiny tweak. [just 5 clicks]
For whatever reason the map editor is flawed and it sinks the placed props into the ground just a tad bit, causing some visibility issues when gazing at low angles in game.

TO FIX THIS YOU NEED TO ALIGN PROPS TO TERRAIN HEIGHT. (Move It!)
If you're unaware how to do this, here's a guide: How to align props to terrain height

NOTE: if you know a solution to prevent this prop bug in the map editor, please leave a comment and I'll fix it.

FIGURED IT OUT: If you're using prop snapping, make sure to DISABLE [allow prop to submerge] option. Otherwise the props will sink into the ground and cause issues. This is required only the first time when you start a city.


Screenshot settings:
Owl's Cinematic LUT Pack (Cinematic v2) - I do recommend using Cinematic v1 for actual gameplay though, it's a bit easier on the eyes long term.
Clouds and fog toggler, disable all except distance fog.
NO daylight classic.
Ultimate level of detail (prop LOD distance 5000m).

Easy one-click collection for all the required items here.

Should you have any questions post them down in the comments section and I will do my best to answer them.
Leave a like if you like the map, leave a dislike if you hate it. Have a great day.



To give you a perspective of what this map really requires:
I can run it 40-70fps with maybe around 40 mods, a couple hundred assets active, depending on the graphics settings. It's not a bad performer considering that I'm running a potato:
i7-2600K
GTX 780 3GB vram
8GB ddr3 1600MHz ram

So, considering if you aren't running an 8 year old system like mine, you'll be fine with this map.
