Thank you for that :) - Now you made the choice even harder now you have come out with a new map.. - I am thinking I might give the new one a go since I am not very good and easier terrain might help me a bit more :P - Thank you again for such great maps...

There you are @simplicity! This map is a bit more challenging terrain-wise than my newer map Emerald Coast, but I still got a decent sized city into Highland Fjord even with the limitations

@simplicity Hey, that's a great idea! I thought I had included one here... oh wait, duh :D I guess that might be helpful lol

Great work, now I don't know which map of yours to play on :P
One question if I may, is there any chance you could give us a picture of your maps please, so we could maybe try to plan things out a bit when starting out etc :)

Yup, I love the effect of the mountains in distance. I've been experimenting with something similar but with mountains out at sea (in very corner of map) so they look like far-away islands.

Hi @aubergine18! I'm glad you asked! There are a few options:
1) Yes if you have one of the "all areas purchaseable" mods. There is a lake surrounded by insanely high mountains where you can put a dam producing high MW. It's the side where the bridges cross a deep gorge. There's just one bend that enters the 32 square area (I moved the bend there on purpose)
2) If you don't have one of those mods, I had that in mind from the beginning, but it just spoiled the nice views and looked unrealistic.
3) The next map "Emerald Shore" (Irish!), which is almost done, has a ridiculously fast river with an area for a hydro dam near the center of the map. I'm making a series of maps on the same theme. I think the landscapes I have seen across Ireland, Scotland and Norway are amazing. I still have to test the map, but I think if you follow me you will know when it comes out.

Does it contian any locations suitable for building hydro dam?

@Ozymandias and @Diavoler here is the map in Temperate version. It took a little longer to do so I will get to boreal probably tomorrow. Hope you like it! https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=434432983

@mrZonke Thanks for letting me know!! I'm really glad people like it. I'll do the conversion and upload both, @Ozymandias. Should be easy. Check back in an hour or so -I'll pub the links up

Starting a city on this map, it looks positively awesome!! :D thx
Ozymandias 29 Apr, 2015 @ 12:31pm 
This looks like just the map I want for my next city! I'd prefer the Boreal or Temperate map, though.

If you would like one, I will be glad to make a Highland Fjord for you in Boreal and/or Temperate for you. I just have to do a few things and can post those for you. Sound good?
MrMiyagi  [author] 29 Apr, 2015 @ 10:42am 
Hi @Diavoler. I am almost done that is exactly a map just like that, for that same reason! "Emerald Coast" is inspired by the Irish seaside and its cliffs, and it is the Boreal climate. It should be finished in a day or so.
Highland Fjord is my first map. I started off with Tropical... thinking I would do a nice island, and by the time I put a LOT of work into it, it had changed into something else No going back after that :D I did remove all the palm trees, though (unless you found a stray?) Anyhow, hope you will like "Emerald Isle"!
Diavoler 29 Apr, 2015 @ 9:34am 
really great looking map, but why do a northern theme with tropical settings? Why not the northern trees?

Thanks @Patrickasgerblake! :)
