Marathon Bay Revised

This map is a modified version of the popular map "Marathon Bay". The original map was created by Sanctum Gamer on his livestream. The map looked really enticing, but there were a few things that I wanted to modify for my own playstyle (vanilla, 9 tiles). Sharing this in case others find it useful.

Changes:
- Modified peninsula to be fully within usable tiles
- Created new hydro dam within usable tiles, with power lines to starting tile
- Removed old hydro dam (but can be easily added back by player)
- Rebuilt freeway to have consistent spacing
- Moved withered trees by water's edge
- No map theme specified

Please take a look at the original "Marathon Bay" map, created by Sanctum Gamer:

-------------------------------------------

Detailed Changes:

1. Modified peninsula to be fully within usable tiles. The original peninsual had areas outside of the 25 usable tiles. I terraformed the peninsula so that it's fully within the usable tiles. I had to repaint the sand and oil resources. Not as pretty as the original but passable to my eyes.

2. Created new hydro dam within usable tiles, with power lines to starting tile. I wanted a hydro dam that was within the usable tiles, without having to use 81 tile mod. This new dam generates the maximum 1600 MW of power. This dam can be removed if desired, but there will be temporary flooding until the water settles. The new dam can also be used in conjunction with the old dam for twice the power!

3. Removed old hydro dam. Removed the existing hydro dam that was outside the usable 25 tiles. Left the existing dam roads so that the dam and connecting bridge road can be easily rebuilt by players that use the 81 tiles mod. Removed the existing quays. Old dam will work with the new dam as well.

4. Rebuilt freeway to have consistent spacing. The freeways now have a consistent 4u of spacing throughout, and the freeway nodes line up as well. Rebuild the trumpet interchange.

5. Moved withered trees by water's edge. Some trees were withered because they were too close to the water. Moved or removed as many withered trees as I could find.

6. No map theme specified. When starting a new game, you will no longer see a warning message about the custom map theme.

That's it. Enjoy!
