Description
About Lake Otha

Lake Otha is a region named after the lake that forms from the fresh waters cascading out of the mountains, and the melting of snow that builds up in the winter. The region is bathed in lush green plains in the warm months, and beautiful white snow-capped mountains in the colder ones.

The great rivers running through the region serve as shortcut routes for many shipping lanes, both cargo and cruise ships alike. Highways and rail meander through the landscape, connecting up towns and cities throughout the greater area. Together with its resource-rich plains, this region is ready to house a thriving city.

The region has small pockets of oil, lots of fertile grounds, and rich forests. Due to volcanic activity some millions of years ago, the area is abundantly blessed with Ore deposits that have been brought to the surface from deep within the planet. However, most of it sits in the high peaks of the surrounding mountains. Anyone willing to take on the costs of mountainous Ore mining is bound to make a killing!

General Info

The dependencies are a few trees and the surface rock pack. If subscribing to everything is too much, you only need these two trees and the map will still look good:

Map theme: Not So Rocky Hills

The following mods that affect graphics were also at play for the screenshots:

I am building a city on this map on my YouTube channel. The playlist for the builds can be found here: Thando Series. Whilst there, feel free to explore the rest of my channel ;-)

I hope you enjoy building your own city on this map. If you like the map and want to see more maps, please give it a rating. It really helps get the map noticed by others, and it motivates me to keep creating.

Happy building!

@Corbzy -- This map only has two rail connections and may be the reason there's less rail traffic.

@lemonsterOG yea ignore my comment i just tested by building a load of commercial zone and a freight terminal, plus a load of landmarks etc to get city attractiveness up and i now see external freight and passanger trains.

i think on other maps im just used to seeing a lot more passing through right from the start.

@Corbzy -- I'm actually playing on this map right now...literally...I'm in-game. You just have to wait. Sometimes it can take quite a while for them to spawn, but they will come.

Love the map downloaded it after watching your youtube series. I dont seem to be getting any external passanger or freight trains spawning though.

Hello there
Thank you for this amazing map. One question though:
Which mods do I have to download to get the trees?

Really great map. Good Combination from water, islands, flat terrain and mountains. Thanks for the work!

Amazing map. Just finished a build on this one for several weeks, impeccably done and ran great. I'm really hoping you continue to release more maps that I can try!

This map should be PERFECT for the Sunset Harbor DLC!!!! It's one of my top 5 favorite maps and I've been playing on it since its release. It's proven it's worth with the new DLC. Thanks so much for making such a great map!!
