Pohnpei Island - Pacific Ocean

Description
This map is pretty old and far from current standards. I am planning to update it in the near future.

Please rate. It helps community!

This is tropical map based on real location - Pohnpei island in Micronesia on Pacific Ocean.

Overview
The map is not 100% accurate. Pohnpei is an island covered with rainforest, but this map is more friendly to play. It has moderate amount of trees just enough to look good. Mountains and hills has also been scaled up to create steeper slopes and higher cliffs. Cities built below feel small with all those overlooking mountains.

There are some flat areas along the coast so you should have anough space to plan big cities too. Shoreline is not straightforward though. Beaches are split with rocky cliffs and steep slopes.

I think it is rather challenging map. You will be very limited by terrain, but on the other hand valleys, beaches, and hills are good ocasion to build something more organic than grid city.

This map has only one highway and one railroad connection. Be prepared for heavy traffic.

Features
- Optimized for 25 tile gameplay.
- All resources available.
- All outside connections available (only one highway and one railroad).
- Diverse and scenic shoreline with many beaches.

Final notes
I strongly suggest using mod that allows you to play on 25 tiles.
Gula's Tall Grass and Washingtonia palms are recommended, but not required.
Don't ask about LUT I used. I do not remember, especially After Dark it is hard to find good one.

Texture information was old... I am planning to make custom map theme, but actually any tropical one looks good :)

Thanks :) I'm glad people are still using old maps and like 'em. I was planning to update my old maps but lacking time.

I've been building my new city on this map! Happy that it's optimized for 25 tiles. Definitely the best tropical island map I was able to find on the Workshop. I'm planning to put a monorail line around the whole perimeter of the island. :steamhappy:
