Vancouver, BC, Canada

Description
A map of Vancouver, BC, Canada and the surrounding lower mainland. The map starts you off near the centre of the map (near New Westminster). When using the 25 block mod, the entire area is playable from North Vancouver to almost the US boarder and out east to Surrey.

Everything (rivers, highways, trains, etc) on the map is as accurate as I could make it while keeping the map playable. It took some time editing it by freehand after importing the heightmap, since the heightmaps don't work well for low elevation areas. I have added resources to the map where they would usually be found in reality, except for oil and ore which were added in what would be likely locations. Ships run along the coast, as well as into the Burrard Inlet and Boundary Bay for better gameplay. Air traffic takes a path across where YVR would be placed. Animal spawn locations have been set at the base of the mountains.

I have updated the map a few times to make it more playable. Smoother terrain, better bridges, straighter roads. If there's any improvements you'd like to see, let me know. Enjoy!

UPDATE: I have uploaded a V2 of this map (see my other workshop items). The river north of Stanley Park has been widened just enough for ships to pass, so they now enter the Vancouver harbour.

yeah i think the only way to get it as a shipping lane would be to dramatically higher all the terriane looks like a depth isuse supper hard for sure.

I tried widening the fraser river all the way down to get a ship to pass through, but it alters the map too much for my liking. I have however uploaded a V2 map with better ship paths, please see the update.

Any plans to make a Langley to Chilliwack area map? Specifically the Abbotsford/Mission region?

I really think it would be worth it if you could widen the fraiser to get a water way in being able to have your industral on the islands is so cool

Thanks dbmountain. Use the terrain.party website to get your heightmap to import into the game. Then you can touch up the map in-game with the tools, or you can photoshop the png file you get from terrain.party before importing. I did a combination of both for this map. It was a bit of work, but I was happy with the result.

Good quality. I'm trying to create a true-to-scale map of Burnaby. Any tips on height map stuff? Or is patience the golden ticket
