Hey guys, this is not just a ready-to-use map but a - let's call it - snowbox, lol, that allows you to apply your own adjustments. Thus, you got the opportunity and chanllenge (see the presentation) that many of you want to begin with.

Well, a new European and North American winter is ahead and maybe the Frostland map can give you a nice foretaste of the fascination that comes with the last and first season of the year.:steamhappy:

Thanks for all your comments and keep the cities in motion!

Aw, without the all buildings mod it's unplayable (or rather ugly than unplayable). What a shame :steamsad:

Whilst it looks great, when you actually play it, there's too many problems such as roads that have no bi-directional capability, half-built railways, and general issues that make it tedious when you have to rebuild lots of roads to make a decent transport network.

Indeed, skifans, the water does not display as usual in other maps ...

a) ... as the temperatures are so deep (longtime below 0° centigrade) the waterways are frozen. Actually, this is challenge No. 2 (... see my photo in the inspiration show above!!!).

On behalf of this real nature phenomenon ...

... see rapidly this urban icebreaker in action:

... or another short video from northern Europe:
- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mQw7mZj0FOM (about the largest icebreaker in the world from Russia, cruising on the Baltic Sea)

Well, unfortunately CIM2 did not yet make arrangements for an icebreaker-"waterbus" :-/
- - - i am kidding, but finally, why not?! ;-)

If you want to take a closer look on that icebreak matter, see the "Ice Breakers Global Megastructures National Geographic Documentary":

(to be continued ...)

b) ... and, yes, the technical answer is: You will get the snowy effect on your maps by rising the ground in the map editor and this is why normal water can't be shown on that high level unless you dig down extremely deep. :-)

Skifans, thank you for your comment! I appreciate this feedback. If you have other proposals or impressions you want to share - let me know!

Keep cool :-))

really hope it enables us to create maps in winter.

Looks like a trealy good map, unfortunatly the water dosnt display properaly which does ruin it a bit.
