This map really is a handful, especially near the bay area, I couldn't get my metro line or a tunnel to go through, the slopes were to steep for a bay.

if the map isnt working for you (like theres nobody moving in/no cars on the roads) just go into map editor and connect the highways

Please make a temperate version of this map.

Just discovered this map now, it is really great. Thank you very much!

I like this map the most, I always go back to this gem. The reason being, I can put my highways anywhere I want pretty much, and it could be anywhere other than Boston, which is cool

thats no problem. personally my gripe was simply the euro texxture. however i felt you had put more effort into natural resource, shipping and train lines than all the other boston map makers.

i had asked if it was possible to swap the texture before i researched and found out it wasnt easily swapped. so i exported the heightmap from your map and red did it in map editor with as much resources as i could

although i added interstates willy nilly just for the sake of having roads

Hi 4Poc | PiLoT
Thanks for the compliment, I'm glad you like the map so much. Actually I used Euro textures because there already were a number of Boston maps with US textures out there, so this was new. Unfortunately, you can't simply swap textures and resave the file -- you have to rebuild a map from scratch (and this is BIG shortcoming in the map editor) -- so I'm sorry but I'm not going to redo another.

is there any chance of getting this in a usa texture? its the best version of boston there is but im not keen on european textures

I just opened up the original map file in the editor and all connections are showing as active and unbroken, including the rail connection on the start tile. I'm not sure what is causing the problem with your cargo terminal; did you subscribe to any new transport mods/stations recently? Sounds like you might have a mod conflict causing problems.
@sbrownodowd Looking forward to it, thanks :)

@ez1 Fair enough. I'll upload the finished game file and link you to it.

Hey, I love this map, but I'm having an issue. I connected a cargo train terminal to the rail connection at the starting square, but no trains are coming through. I triple checked to make sure the rail is completely connected throughout, the terminal has power, water, and a road connection. Have you encountered this problem, or know anyone who has? Any ideas what might be the problem?

@sbrownodowd Thanks, glad you like it, and of course you're free use it for your project, no problem there! But I don't really want to remake the map either, truth be told, and I don't think the scale difference is a problem anyway; in fact I think it helps all maps based on RL given how oversized roads and transport networks are. Have fun with it!

Awesome map! I might use it for my Boston build with your permission! Though I was just wondering if you had a version that wasn't scaled up but true to size? If not, I can give you the terrain file to do one with (I've found creating rivers is something I don't have the talent nor patience for).

@ez1 Thanks! If you're interested, I've been playing this map on my Twitch page at Twitch.tv/Alskling1 <3 Thanks again for your help.

Glad you like the map! As for your question, yes this map will spawn Euro buildings by default, but you can use whatever building set you like on any map (and even in any district) by enabling theme management in the content manager. And of course you can also load custom style collections as well.

Essentially, the only thing that you can't change are the map textures, and that's why I made this a Euro map, because I really, really dislike the emerald-green rock textures used on other maps.
Tasciovanus 20 Oct, 2015 @ 5:42pm 
Does this map use European buildings, and if so do I need to enable European Buildings style in the Content Manager? Thanks, and fantastic map!

@AL
The rail connectons are hard to see on these low-res images as they don't have icons like highways do. They are found on the 2nd and 5th tiles at top, on the 4th tile on the left counting down from the top of the map, and on the center tile on the bottom just to the right of the highway connection.

The start tile (pictured) has one at top center, a bridge heading south.

I'm not seeing the four rail connections. Only one. :(
