I love the MAP. Amazing. Thank you

could you please make a tropical version of one of these?

Is there air connection?

I swear there is something wrong with this map. I only have 30 000 people living in my city with highway going through my city. Somehow there is a HUGE line of traffic coming from the edge of the map to the center of my city. I feel that its random that tons of people work out of the city? and many tourists are heading to places that dont exist. Btw im using the highway the map has and that traffic comes from all highways entering and exiting the map. And the lines of traffic slowly move. Help?

Best map ever!

@Eldrarak1982, That's funny because my next map is inspired a bit by the Conwy map. Which I agree is absolutely beautiful. I really like the dual trees lines. His maps are very well crafted, though I personally don't like using mods for maps.

I normally make sure the starting tile is comfortable to build in, since there are many players that don't use the 25 tiles unlocked mod. So, because of that the starting tile will always have enough flat space, flowing water and at least one highway and one railway. Another thing I do is that I want each tile have a special reason to be purchased, it could be something like a scenic hill, farmland, a polder, resources or a large river delta. The game is at it's best when you get to plan the city.

Thanks for your suggestions! I'm going to upload my next map Great Flutland in a moment.

Also, Zak...For a really good example of a map that did a terrific job with it's highway and rural route system, I'd definitely suggest MrMiyagi's Conwy, Wales map. While I do understand that requiring mods for a map is a bit risky, take a look at how he's used the Network Extension Rural Highways to set the tone for this map. If you've not already played on it, it'd great for inspiration (and the ONLY map I play Euro theme with).

@Zakerias I can't wait! Your attention to detail and care to make sure that the terrain flows and feels natural is paramount.

Also, I've learned that those maps that took great care in placing realistic and smooth highways and rail lines all end up with much higher quality. There's nothing worse than starting a map with a highway with 45 degree angle overpasses, sharp corners, and absurd heights. None of your maps have made this mistake as far as I've seen, but I think it's worth reinforcing this standard.

@Eldrarak1982 Thanks! I'm happy you like it! Currently I'm working on a nice non-european Island map. It will be released very soon.

Hey Zak, I just also wanted to add my input here. I've tried literally hundreds of different maps (I'm super picky), and I can at this point honestly say that Vlerkenburg is my all-time favorite map for C:S. I am SUPER happy that you released this is the Temperate theme, because since the European update, it's been incredible hard to find many high-quality non-Euro maps. Vlerkenburg has become a required download for me, and I don't know what I'd do it it ever disappeared....
Please please make more maps like this (in non-Euro themes).

This is a very good map. Reason:

If you are very careful and pick the right tiles, you can get all but a sliver of the island in between the rivers AND the island with the beach on the coast in the 9 tile limit!

Thus this is a very nice region if you build it out.

The rivers are handy two. Because they form a "h" shape, you can successfully dam the smaller tributary that joins the two big ones and it will not overflow, but change direction since the bigger river can handle the excess without rising much and the water will come out of the other end. If you do two dams you can drain it.. This way you can dump your sewage into something that will go out to sea without it backing up. Just be carefu, there is a longshore current that will push onto the beach if you care about aesthetics.

So thanks for making a really good map.

PS- glad it is NOT european version. I hate euro buildings. Can you make more non euro maps?

could you plz make a version of the "waddenzee" with the islands

plenty of water to build my sea wind turbines :DDD

Sweet, thanks for sharing, awesome map :D

Best map I've seen so far! Awesome work and thanks for sharing.

Is a European version in work? :D

Please Zak! Make an European version of this mat please mate.
Appreciate it :)

Hello! I would really like to see this Map as an European Map! could you do me this favor?

Reminds me St. Petersburg, my home city. Also, I remade this map in European biome for me and it looks even better.

@jockedahl - Export as heightmap using the Asset editor, create a new save, and then import heightmap.

How can I make this European style?

Rascal, huh? I think Rascal Flats has been taken, but how about Rascal River (or delta). Either way, it looks very inviting. Very nice. Thank you. :)

Are you going to release all your maps also for European? I would love that!

lol ik zag de naam van de map en dacht heeh vlerk klinkt bekend xD

Very beautiful. The starter map square is laid out perfectly, as are the rest. No details seems overlooked. Great job.

As always, your maps are spectacular.
