No DLC and No Theme version of this old map (in Temperate) here:http://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1111834319


With a backdrop of soaring glacier-scoured moutains with cascading waterfalls, Fjordland is a hand made map with a maze of islands and peninsulas whose calm, serene fjords offer tranquil beauty for your new city. Gently rolling countryside surround your center city area with endless possibilites for a spread of villages and satellite towns built among beautiful small-scale landscape features with majestic snow covered peaks in the distance. This boreal map has a custom theme that allows you to have a nice, pleasant visual experience without any mods needed. I do recommend Cloud and Fog toggler at least, since I'm unable to disable the heavy boreal fog in the air.

Development time: This map was started August 2015. Glad to see it "finished enough"
Detailing explanation: Scenic, unbuildable parts in your start area are highly decorated. There are a few other detailed areas but mostly I intended to leave you with a small list of good props, decals and trees, show you some examples of what you can do with them, and leave the rest of decoratting up to you
Traffic System: You will not see the usual regular traffic on your highways for quite some time.. This is intentional. There are explanatory images above. The traffic will definitely come, but you will be able to handle the more realistic levels


See detailed images above to get full information and advice on planning your city.

There's a style set for Finland, I'd say that's really close to the Norwegian countryside. I live in Bergen and despite it being the former capitol and is more then 1000 years old, and where there's a consistent style and a "European look" and a couple large churches.

Anyway, here's the only place that would support houses so large at an earlier age, and have a consistent style, and churches that large. It don't really have a Downtown though, Only Oslo, have 2 high rise buildings I think, if 37 floors count as skyscraper on the Plaza hotel with mirror glass seen here with the other with "Oslo S" & Train-Central, below. Trains are more common east, and flat land in general that can support urbane areas

In the moutains about everyone have a little huts, some places small suburbs of them, with a special style, I think the medieval style would fit in small clusters in some flat areas in the moutains.

This was as close to Norwegian architecture as we could get. All that we can use is what is on the workshop.

3/3 And also tunnels are extremely common. I think we still got the longest in the world, called "Lærdalstunellen", it's quite claustrophobic to be a half hour in and thinking it's only halfway, so they have painted and made led-light zones at regular intervals, looking a bit like sun shining through the inside of a glacier or similar.

Anyway, the first picture don't look like Norwegian Architecture, but more Gernan or Dutch I think with so many floors. except it's close to the so called "jugend-style" in Bergen and Ålesund. I've seen it here somewhere - but not by that name - on the workshop. Also the church is too big, most are very simple and lutheran. And settlements are mostly like the other pictures with houses. Where fjords are too wide, there's a lot of ferries. Boat transport in general is quite common, with so called "snøggbåt".

2/3 Roads are not small enough in city skyline - many places there's single roads with two directions for one lane, with small pockets on the side, where a car that notice a meeting car stop in the pocket. Only near and in cities few places got highways, and then only double files in each direction. The left is for faster moving traffic, while those that just take it easy stay in the right road-file.

I miss both in this map and in "Valhalla" there areas in the middle of the fjords, where the land is connected, in a land that have a whole lot of bridges. If you want inspiration of bridges and generally amazing road building in Norway google "Atlanterhavsvegen".There's bridges everywhere!

1/3 I saw a video of ImperialJedi yesterday, where he talked about a new thing he and his friends did at Twitch, where a group of him and friends had 2 hours to make a "City in a Snap", and viewers voted for the winner. Sounded like a fun thing :)

I downloaded this map + assets, and if building I'd make nature reserve(s) of the largest moutains to the east If I learned to make maps, I'd do like it's normal along the whole country, with small communities - "Bygd", not large enough to be a village, but totally rural, with small centers with a few shops, country house, service buildings. They usually follow the flat areas along the fjords and specially near rivers and lakes, along with farms.

Those are some really great ideas! I also like making smaller cities - usually a larger town with lots of villages all over the place.
Part of what you would like to do is already possible without a mod. It's the scenario editor. It's not particularly easy and takes a crazy amount of time, but with some thought and brain storming, you can design ways for the game to reward / punish / whatever when the player reaches a certain goal or does something bad like X percentage of land polluted... things like that.
Policies would have to be hard coded, so that's not easily done, but do check out the scenario editor! :)

Perhaps it could be possible for someone to make a mod where massive size and immense numbers of buildings and people wouldn't have to be the goal, but to reach each milestone by fulfilling some other tasks? IDK, just an idea, I've seen lots of really good small cities around the internet, and frankly it seem more difficult in the start, and specially so if you have limited, or big maps with several limited "bygd" (countryside with a kind of towncenter). Just tossing ideas out in the air, and perhaps someone would have skill to make something like that.

Like mastering the wild, setting up trails into nature, and rescue-huts and giving availability to view different wonders of nature. Going total renewable energy. Sustainability. 1 child policy. Ecological food-production. Strict Fishing quotas, I could rant all day and night about ideas such as these, but got no skill to make them real. Green Cities Plus.

Have a nice evening.:summer2019city:
