Gorges of Shikoku
Welcome to Uwajima, a city on the West coast of Shikoku Island, in Ehime prefecture. Shikoku is the smallest of the four main islands of Japan. The landscape is stretched between gorges, mountains, rivers, and the sea.
About the map: it includes 33 small towns with an initial population of about 3000. There are many industry lines, roughly balanced with the town demands. The map size is megalomaniac, and needs the setting experimental_map_size = true. The map was generated using satellite-derived heightmap, with an aspect ratio of 2:3 (the map is 24 km in game // 36 km in real location). The map is large, and covered in forests, therefore requires decent computer. Although there are many towns, the relatively small initial population allowed me to play without struggle.
Fields and rivers were hand-painted. Some fences, trees and plots were placed with collision activated, which prevents from building across them (see the build the plot removal tutorial in the pictures). Unfortunately, the AI still builds above some rivers, causing some weird visuals. Note that most colliding items can be removed at once, by loading the map without "Buy the plot" mod. Colliding assets can be removed with buldozer, or the eraser tool.

Enjoy the map!
