Schwyz, Alpine Valley (European)

Description
Schwyz, Alpine Valley is European map based on area of swiss canton of the same name east of Lucerne in alpine foothills.

This is the first map I made after returning to Cities Skylines. I felt need to create map with feeling of alpine valleys, lakes and surrounding mountains. First idea was Interlaken, but I didn't like how it turned out and I decided to give shot to something else. After a while in google maps I picked Schwyz area and here are the results. Map lacks river flowing from south east, but I hate making rivers so you have to live without it ;-)

If you like this map, please rate. It helps community.

>> What Map review by BonBonB <<

Quick, end of year update.. I never expected this one comming... Schwyz has been picked as the map of the year by BonBonB in his WhatMap series - Best Of What Map 2017 part 6. Thanks a lot. I appreciate it so much, but most of all I am glad the community likes this map as well :-)

Overview
Definitely not a flat map. But you will find enough flat areas to build even quite large city surrounded by steep alpine peaks. Or maybe you want to build a couple smaller towns and mountain villages? If so, this is perfect map for you.

Features
- Optimised for 25 and 81 tiles gameplay.
- All resources available.
- High mountains and steep slopes.
- All outside connections available.
- Default only trees.
- 220.000 trees

I suggest deleting trees in the area you build to increase limit.

Final notes
I strongly suggest using 81 Tiles mod by BloodyPenguin with this map.

Screenshots taken with Daylight Classic options enabled, Definite Vision LUT or old Cinematic HD LUT by OWL.

Not sure if you're still active, but do you mind if I make a version of this map without modern travel and upload it to the Workshop, giving you credit as the maker and linking here?

I've enjoyed this map a lot, with both real mountains and water, trains, for me it' was the best workshop's map. I will wait the mods to be updated with the last game version to play it again
