Archipelago

Description
Map for the Realistic European v1.1.2 (now 1.1.4) custom map theme by klvler: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=627618982

It should work with "vanilla" Europe theme also, but will look slightly different. No custom assets/mods are needed.

The map features several islands of varying size and shape, as well as some continent.

* all the land is totally flat
* all types of outside connections: highway, ship, railroad, aeroplane
* ferry routes reach many of the islands
* all resources can be found
* most of the area is very windy = great for clean wind energy
* you'll need to build lots of bridges - if you don't like that, don't even try this map
* created some waterflow
* some challenge providing services (garbage, heat, electricity, education etc) for smaller islands

As the basis I used a heightmap of the archipelago on the coast of the Gulf of Finland, Baltic Sea. I modified it so much for the game, however, that it no longer depicts any real area.

@ Åbi Juan Kenåbi: looks really interesting, and so different of what I have I built on the map!

@ Åbi Juan Kenåbi: Good news, I also tested it and did not see anything unusual. I like my maps very flat, because so far it has been difficult to build on hills / bumpy terrain, and whenever the game flattens terrain under a building it looks ugly. Maybe it'll get better now with the new stuff, like in-game terraforming and quays.

For some weird reason, it works now. I have no clue what caused it but yeah... it works now. Love the map, been waiting for one like this for a time now. Just wish there was more liks hills and stuff on the islands.

@ Åbi Juan Kenåbi: No, I have not used Network extensions or any other mod that should anyhow affect the looks or performance of the map. Besides the custom map theme of course. I haven't had time to play the game for the past week but I'll check it out as soon as I can.

Did you use Network Extentions for the highway intersections? I have it disabled with the new patch and now the map glitches out big time if you buy the zones with the big intersections in them...
