Tar Valon

Description
>>>As the isle itself needs 8 squares, you be better to have the mod for getting all 25 to have maximum fun.<<<

The City Tar Valon will be known to those, who did the 15k pages of Robert Jordans Saga "Wheel Of TIme". If a little Spark of Interest in Fantasy Story is lit in you, READ THIS NOVEL. Best final Battle, you will ever find in a book.

Anyway, I was amazed of creating that map, as the city design is quite fun. Based on an Island with Big Rivers (to dominate the two streams took me most of the time) and the huge Dragonmount in Sight.... what is no more that a Fraggle with actual height limitation.

What I did here:
- much landmass to build on.
- all transportation accessable
- huge amount of all ressources
- a place for max output hydroplant (2400 MW?)
- Plateaus in different heights for a great Skyline
- A center highway roundabout for terribly high loads (better not connect anything at this cross, better near to the rivers)
- As the North and South Harbors of the original Design did not work very well due to high tides (what should also be a problem in the Reality... Fantasy.. aw forget that), I've completely remaked both ends of the isle for a good site of smaller residentials.

After all, this map is tested now in two big games, and all ocured problems are solved. That of course does not mean, that I had to face all problems, that could have ocured, but at least, it should be a lot of fun to build on that thing without bigger problems


Give it a try.

Also finished is now:

indeed, the issue is, that the downstream from the hill is a little unpredictable during the high amount of Water, but with the mod to alter the map during gaming it should be handable

sweet didnt expect any wheel of time stuff here. that said you said about tides being a issue, in the books tar valon's too far from the sea for tides to be a issue surely?

My own Favorite is Illian at the momet. Its a pretty crazy thing, since tunnels are in the game.

Here you go https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=424156456 Next one will be Illian

To be honest,I am working on it,but Tar Valon was the most impressive City so a mustbe first project.It was not that simple to just putting a Heightmap in place and create the stream, as the water phasics and me were in ware to get the South harbour working. Finally ... the Water won, so I was forced to create a lower plateau on each side for Harbours. So, this thing needed a lot of testing. BTW, in the Workshop you can get Sheik Kalifa, that one looks great as a White Tower in the middle :)
Regarding further projects. I just had a peak on the other available city maps from wheel of time, and the most impressive on in my eyes is Far Madding, but also Caemlyn and Illian could be fun. Only Map, I wont create is Cairhien, as this straight design is not mine ;)

Love seeing these fantasy maps come to life - can't wait to build my own Tar Valon.

Hope you do more - maybe Illian (with the canals) or Tarabon (Tanchico could be quite interesting to build).
