Alpine maps: Rhatische Bahn

This is the 3rd mod in a series of remasters of my old Transport Fever maps. This mod features the map "Rhätische Bahn" from my Map Pack: Alps. For veterans of TpF1 that have already played that map: this new version does feature some new additions that might convince you to try this map out again. New features are listed last in this discription.

So what has this map got to offer? Well just like all of my maps from the Map Pack: Alps this map features a North-South connection through the Alps. The center of this particular connection is the Rhätische Bahn. This company is the main operator of rail transport in the Swiss canton of Graubunden. In terms of an international connection, the company operates the international railway between Tirano in Italy and St. Moritz in Switzerland. This route is world famous as the Bernina railway.

The range of this map goes somewhat beyond the network of the Rhatische Bahn though. The whole network (except the connection to Disentis in the west) is included on this map, from Tirano and St. Moritz in the south, through Thusis or Klosters to Chur in the north. In the South the map also includes some of the connecting Italian railway from Tirano to Milan (of which only the part untill the railway is just about to reach the northern coast of Lake Como). In the north the map continues al the to the border with Austria and Germany on Lake Constance/Bodensee. The most Northern towns featured on the map are the German cities of Friedrichshafen and Wangen im Allgäu north of Lake Constance. This design was specificly chosen to give the player an oppertunity to make a full connection across the Alps from Italy to Germany.

New features in the TpF 2 version compared to the TpF1 version:
- Map made within the internal map editor instead of derping around with the online map creation tool
- Manually placed cities directly on the map
- Some manually placed industries according to the terrain and to inprove gameplay (mines in the mountains, and
some industries only in the North, while others only in the South, to encourage cross-Alpine routes)
- Manually constructed road network (no longer shall we stand for cross-glacial highways!)
- Manually created water for the Rhine River (this used to be a big pain to deal with in TpF1 due to the way the water
level was set in that game and there was no ingame map creator)
- Manually painted terrain (rocky/barren/snow mountains, wheat fields in Italy to represent the warmer yet fertile terrain)
- Manually placed forrests/trees according to a somewhat accurate tree range.

Next?

1 other map of my Map Pack Alps is coming soon. Expect the München to Venice map to be released somewhere in next few days. This one is going to be a big one: 4 versions (2 map sizes and 2 other versions of the smallest map).
