Update 4th July 2021
1st place - Viewers' Choice: BonbonB Map of the Month https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nHYqGic_Bto

Greetings!
Here is the (first) map I built ground up for my next city build idea and thought I'd share.

Features and Inspiration
- Realistic European - Inspiration taken from flying over Southern England (with a backdrop mountain to improve the vista). Capable of accommodating a mega city or small towns/villages. Flat and undulating terrain. 165k trees. 75% Building area.
- Low dependency - Can play 100% vanilla but recommend Move It for linking to some of the road network and Realistic theme. No assets but Mass Transit DLC required for added roads and policy
- Designed for the 9 or 25 tile player wanting detail in tiles that can't be reached
- Abandoned engineering - Scattered derelict industrial and agricultural facilities, construction roads, and human impact on environment ready to be bulldozed, repurposed or gentrified
- Realistic shipping (no crazy mobs of empty ships) - 4 routes that are not linked but can be be in the editor if you so wish. No "shipping clipping"
- Realistic river banks, coastlines and currents - no raging torrents and crazy looking high banks. However be cautious with flooding when terraforming!
- Strong initial high speed network (4 rail & 4 road connections) that diverts national traffic away from city centre including 1 "magic tunnel"
- Several possible self contained locations for sewage treatment and water supply

Bugs and Issues
- "Blue mantle" - a couple of locations that couldn't be avoided (cuttings/embankments). Can BonBonB find them?
- High speed rail points will have minimal "catenary chaos" as prefer this to trains slowing down and lurching drunkenly through points

Hats off to
BonbonB for their YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCu2E7WDF49QL3WwNqWA1Xrg and SamsamTS and Quboid for the utterly essential Move It mod

I'd be great to hear your feedback, suggestions and reviews. I hope you enjoy!

This is by far the best map in the workshop. I love this map so much.
It is full vanilla but even better than any modded maps.

Has anyone else been using this map lately. LSM is showing this map is Missing: Game Store 3X3 Level 3 & 2. This is my 1st, all time favorite, map but those two assets are breaking the map entirely from me being able to load it. :steamsad:

Does anyone have a non-DLC or NExt2 version?

Yep, when I was growing up in Kent I often thought we could do with a mountain backdrop. Personally, I would have replaced France with it.

Hi @NASCAR23XI. If you want to change the environment you would need Theme Mixer 2.5. Or why not just try another theme - I've changed it to Pdelmo's Euro 4K and looks really good! Thanks @Pickpockets, @Oxyligen, @driftwoodsaint, @stevegoodwin, @Alvand, & @Ghadkar (really enjoyed your lets play using this map :))

How can I change it from a European themed map? Or can you not do that? Love the map otherwise, just not a fan of the European theme.
