Musel

*Updated* The map review of BonBonB showed some Terrain glitches, blue mantles and drowning trees. I reworked the mentioned points and I hope to improve your playing experience *Update*

This map inspired by the Mosel river valley[en.wikipedia.org] around the small city of Cochem, Germany. In this section, the course of the river takes many bends and the flanks are used to grow wine since Roman times.

While the general topography is based on this real life region, I altered many parts many parts, flattened the bottom of the valley and the plateau. The highways are also not following any real life road. However, the bridge is inspired by the Hochmoselbrücke[en.wikipedia.org], which is only some 20 km away from the edges of the represented area. So finally, the map is fictitious, but still a homage to this beautiful region


The aim was to create a map with a narrow valley surrounded by steep mountains or flanks in order to force the player to think carefully about traffic, the usage of the available space, the planning of roads to the top of the plateau, etc. The idea is that the player is thereby forced to act more like real urban planners and that the resulting city grows more naturally and realistic.

That’s the theory. However I hope that you can enjoy the map and I’m curious what you are able to achieve :-)

• This is the first map that I release in the steam workshop. So please be merciful, but feedback is welcome!
  
• I'm aware of some flaws, e.g. I think that the water system is not very robust and the stream is not very strong. However, when creating this map, I had in mind to use the magnificent water pumping stations and sewage treatment facilities of Avanya. (@Avanya: in case you ever read this: Thank you very much for your work!)
  
• There are about two times more trees on the map than the vanilla limit allows. Therefore I used the low-tri trees from pdelmo and Lost Gecko (The same for you guys: Thank you for your assets!)
  
• A collection with all used assets, theme and LUT is linked below.

Enough said, have fun!
