Cincinnati HQ Vanilla Map

Description
Notice: There is a SEPARATE DOWNLOAD for the CUSTOM MAP THEME - it is linked on the right as a "required item."
However it is OPTIONAL and this map requires no sorts of mods or any third party assets. ("Vanilla")
You will have to SELECT IT MANUALLY on creating a NEW GAME because the game hates me apparently.

Hi all,
I've been working (quite hard) on this map for over a year and now it's finally complete! Initially created with a USGS heightmap of Cincinnati, Ohio, the roads/railroads are roughly based on the modern city. I have placed all trees and water works by hand, and worked over the entire terrain by hand to ensure quality play. I gave a lot of thought regarding gameplay when creating this map, and I highly recommend checking out the awesome downtown riverfront areas on Google Maps 3D for some authentic city designing inspiration!

I thought a Rust Belt city (defined by decaying and largely abandoned industrial areas throughout the Northeastern U.S.) would play nicely in this game, and I also have visited this city all my life so I feel quite confident that this map can and will give a realistic and authentic vibe to your next city!

Some From-Memory Cinci History:
The downtown region was carved by giant glaciers hundereds of thousands of years ago and is now nestled into the western edge of the half-billion year old Appalacian mountain range. I personally grew up in this general geographic region, so many little things are from personal experience- from the way I sculpted the hills to the sun's trajectory and the likelyhood of rain in the map theme. The city of Cincinnati itself has a very industrial background, however it's now shifting its main attraction to tourism and culture due to its relatively recent induction into the Rust Belt of America.


If you notice any defects or have some suggestions for improvement, please feel free to politely comment below.
And if you really like playing on this map and want to see more quality content from me, motivate me by clicking "Like"!

Thanks for reading, and enjoy!

This map is incredibly accurate. Take it from someone who had lived in Cincy for the past years (:

@HeXpLoSiVe It's a beautiful city indeed. There's something really captivating to me about the contrast of uncivilized hills and dense metropolis, heavy industrial barges and tiny little suburbs everywhere. And how you can see it all from the roadways.

@HMStith Thank you! I spent so many hours working over all the little features on the map so it can be worked easily in Vanilla. Glad to hear you like it!

FINALLY! I have to applause you for putting together this map. I live in Cincinnati and I have been looking for something like this for a long time.
