Blueriv

I created blueriv during the past six months in random 20-60 minute-sessions. The prime purpose of this map was to play with the city building options of CIM2. Big parts of the inner city and some centers of the small towns and villages outside are hand made. The generator has only been used to fill up gaps between single family homes in the city's outskirts. It's most likeley a map for people who like playing with timetables and connecting services, as the main activity soon switches from establishing innercity transport to building up a regional bus and rail commuter network. Railroad lines are prebuildt as they often are part of the scenery. The network layout allows limited express train use and lots of play with timetables as the most likeley to be busy stretches are 4 tracked. Several parts of the city and one of the towns aren't connected to the network, allowing the use of alternative concepts of mass transportation (for example metrotram or monorail) to link theese areas with the metro network.
Another part of the prebuildt network contains 2 metrotram stretches in the city's outskirts and another one along the riverside as startup opportunities. (I reccomend a startup using 3 innercity tram lines) Furtheron, a few roads have been equipped with bus lanes.

Layout/characteristics:
>Medium city in the center
>3 Towns as regional centers and major home to commuters
>dozens of small villages upon the whole map
>A few motorways, many of the main traffic routes are buildt as 3 - laned Semi-motorways to add a different "roadstyle"
>Forests, hedges and fields to please the eye
>handmade city centers, industrial areas, CBD etc.
>+200-300% population recommended
>use a ruleset which reduces the vehicle maintinence as many lines tend to get very long
>private cars are on 85%, if useing a 300% population ruleset or a fast game speed, reduce that factor in your ruleset, otherwhide there will be major traffic jams.

>PLEASE... disable city growth.... the generator ruins every part of the scenery :(
