Sorry for slow reply @pleaq, never saw this comment - but nope, it was purely from imagination. I didn't really use any visual references or specific inspirations while putting it together. Does it remind you of somewhere? :)

Is there any real world place that may be the reference to this map or what this map based on?

@sLurMz Thanks, glad you're enjoying it - tbh I think I made this map way back before I was really using some of the DLC around Industries and whatnot, so resources were always a bit of an afterthought for me...my typical build style means that by the time I've grown enough to where I could really use Industries properly, all my citizens want me to transition to offices rather than factories etc. Really must have more of a look into Industries and see how it works properly.

Loving the layout and terrain of this map. My only gripe is that the resource areas could be bigger. Makes it a PIA to design the district areas with such small plots.

@The Beard - what a lovely thing to say, sorry I've only just spotted it! Thanks so much. Been AGES since I made one but looking forward to starting a new map project soon. :)

Your maps are fantastic and only getting better - thank you for sharing your work with us!

@builderdoghdz Thanks, glad you liked it! And yes, while it's a very 'flat' map overall, there's actually hardly any land on it that's *totally* flat - I tried to make it feel a bit more natural, so there are a lot of very gentle slopes on the build plains.

I really enjoy this map! But, flat plains can be very deceiving. I place roads and buildings but there are actually very subtle hills that make flat cities ridiculously hard to make.

@BattleSkorpion Good to hear, glad you enjoyed it! Nice username btw :D

@DasKapitol It's at the very top of this page - above the photos of the map you'll see a link that says Cities: Skylines> Workshop > gomark's Workshop. (Or you can click my username and on my profile page there's a link to 'workshop items' over on the right-hand side somewhere.)

Hey man i cant really seem to find it, could you drop a link for it?

@DasKapitol Yep I have a few, just go to my workshop page. Mostly a little old now but working on some new stuff soon.

You got any other maps?

very nice map made large city on it

Hello hope you can subscribe. I am hopping to make this map as my youtube city will take sometime. But it will be coming, I havent yet messed with the mod's and setting's I messed in the editing of the video. Thank you anyway.

@DanielDudleyUK Hey nice job man - good to see it at night, I always forget to use the day/night setting! :) The colours look pretty different, the grass in particular - although I can see the resources are obviously the same theme. Did you use theme mixer, or is it just custom Relight/colour settings I wonder? Looks nice anyway, thanks

@PompeyRoyalCT Cheers, best of luck with the build!

Interesting map, looking forward to building a city on it!

Hey thanks a lot @notts1977, appreciate it. And you're welcome!

Love this map! Has to be my favourite for the beautiful intersections! Thanks for designing it.

@LORDPrometheus Hmm that's weird, there's definitely ore and oil on the map - you can see them in screenshots. There isn't loads of farmland, I tried to make realistic fields so that's kinda deliberate. This map was uploaded *right* before the Sunset Harbour update so I'm not 100% sure what effects that might've had. Would've thought it'd be fixed by now either way...

Haven't had this issue from anyone else so I'm not sure what to suggest!

So i really like the map but have the problem of it seemingly having no ore or oil and only 7 hectares of farmland. I tried using extra landscaping to add more and it is either bugged or that mod is not sure

@Benjamani Wow, thanks! Glad you like it.

Best map I've ever played, thank you!!

@nfarji Very kind, thank you!

@Hawkeye Thanks! And yes, you certainly should, right from the start - there's even a train passing through in one of the screenshots (third one), which is taken just of the raw 'new game' map with no building done on it at all.

Do you have any rail network mods running? A user below said they had no trains OR planes, but so far these are the only two mentions I've had of this. I've seen a Let's Play on YouTube (foreign language but it's clearly this map), and they had trains no problem.

Not sure what the difference is for one or two people, I can only think it must be mod-related...this map dropped right before Sunset Harbor so a few people had issues with existing mods that they thought were down to the map, but they were actually due to mods not being updated right away. The map itself doesn't use any mods, so AFAIK there's nothing baked in that should cause an issue.

Best map ever!!! You are amazing!

This is a beautiful map with a lot of cool surprises. I have spent many hours here, doing some high detail work.

I am seeing one issue though that I'm not sure how to resolve. I'm not getting any rail traffic at all here after finally connecting to a station. . I have an airport that seems to be working fine, but seeing no trains. Shouldn't there be trains passing through even before I placed down my station? I've been working far away from them, so didn't really notice that until after I built a station, connected the line, and saw no traffic.

@kawaknaller These errors aren't anything to do with the map as far as I know - nobody else has reported them, and I don't get them.

The only assets I've used are in the collection listed - none of the ones you've listed apply to this map at all. Those look like vanilla game assets to me.

I notice a lot of them are 'Europe Style Services' errors - are you trying to load the map with a European theme by any chance? It's not European, it's Boreal. If you've got the environment changer mod running, this could be the reason.

@SORRY...GG Hi there, not sure what could be causing this - they both work fine for me in my game on this map. Do you have any traffic/transport mods that might not have been updating since Sunset Harbor? All I can think of is a mod issue with something you already have installed, I don't think it's anything to do with the map itself.

I just build a train station and an international airport....but I don't see any trains or planes coming to my city!! Help!

@MOREOPTIONS That might be all the power it provides, can't remember off the top of my head. Hydro dam power is dictated by the height of the dam and (I think) the speed of the water flow, neither of which is crazy huge on this map - it's just there to give you a nice boost at the beginning, but as your city grows you'll definitely need to add other power sources. It's not intended as a fix to last a whole city build like the real mega dams. :)

Thanks for the prompt reply, Perhaps the Dam or something in my system are a miss. I did however check and turned the funding for power to the max, The power was only reaching about 240 or so MW's. Not sure what's the hang up as the river is still flowing.

@𝒮𝒰𝒞𝒦 ℐ𝒯 Nice!

Awesome map curently livestreamin on it :D

@aloosdavid Cool, thanks - glad you like it! Yeah I wanted it to be no DLCs necessary. :)

It looks good with whatever theme you're using too.

@MOREOPTIONS It should be active from the start - there's power coming from it right into the start square, which is how the water tower/water outlet/toll booth etc work.

Good day and Great looking map, Play on it for some time! Question! Is the dam meant to be only be a resevoir or is it meant to be able to come on line when you own the land it's on? I connected extra hi tension lines to my city and never see the dam power up. Like the green lights you have at the dam! I did download all needed mods as listed. Please advise!!!

ahhh ok never mind turns out I forgot to download a mod that was required whoops

@Horemvore No mods or DLC required - all the 'required items' are small (low tri) tree and foliage assets, much less of a drain on resources than mods/DLC. You can also get away without most of them if you prefer, you'll just have to place your own in-game instead of them already being there.

Point taken though, I guess the exact value of differentiating between mods and assets is probably a bit of a grey area for some people. It doesn't claim to be a vanilla map, but I can see how 'no mods or DLC needed' might imply it was.

Pointed here by this months Top 10 Mods and Assets, really nice map was a bit disappointed it requires additional user created content when it was stated in the video requires NO DLC or Mods.

@𝒮𝒰𝒞𝒦 ℐ𝒯 Sounds very odd, not too sure what you mean tbh - the start square is different? How so? I definitely haven't changed it, that's very much the start square and how it looks!

Hmm when I downloaded the map The city square is completely different from your last picture??????

@FusionTrain Oh - also, I do find Daylight Classic can make a big difference to overall light/dark balance. I tend to turn all Daylight Classic options on by default.

@FusionTrain How weird - I've no idea mate, sorry! Funnily enough my whole games SSD just up and died so I'm having to do the same re: full reinstall. Will report back if any issues for me.
