NHP Four Rivers Dale
By blade2k5

The Four Rivers Dale Region is a flat coastal plain buffered by steep mountains along its eastern edge and rolling hills dot the lowlands. Wide river channels, deep lakes, inlets and plenty of coastline provide prime locations for ports, coastal resorts and/or beach towns. Further inland areas are good for farming communties as well as mountainside resorts or small villages.

Geologically, FRD straddles two major techtonic plates, one pushing under the other which over the eons pushe up the mountains in the east. Major quakes have hit the area in the past, though no major quakes have struck in the past several decades. This map was created using new 16bit technology that makes maps 100% accurate.

This is an update of my Nordmar region, which can be found here:

https://www.simtropolis.com/STEX/index.cfm?id=14647

The map measures 6 large tiles wide by 6 large tiles long (1537x1537). A config is included in the .zip package, however don’t limit yourself creatively, as it is set up for large cities only.

Also, keep an eye out for my City Journal. It’s called Elessidil, and I’ve been putting in TONS of hours on it. I hope you’ll enjoy that as well!

jlemen, they are uploaded as props because they are .zip files. Standard map files force you to copy an image and render with SC4, whereas this method allows you to download a file to use SC4 Terraformer to import it (way better quality!!)

Just a quick note I forgot to mention in the description: In the center of the map, those are canals pre-terraformed in using sc4tf. So if you like cities with canals, this will save you hours of tereaformimg in-game. Enjot and thanks for the kind comments marcosMX & jlemen.

Wonderful! I now have an excuse to build a really nice port, like I'd wanted. Plus, plenty of rivers. And it's nice to have those canals. I could be on this map for a while! ;D

I love it, and downloaded it the instant I saw it. Thank you for posting it this way. It was so much easier. I wish more people would post them this way

football_fever: I for one am glad more people *don't*, as not everyone can get the terraformer to work, myself included. This is a wonderful map, and I am quite disappointed to be unable to use it. Nhp: Would it be possible to have it made in a non-tefformer version as well?

LordTarren - I'd be more than happy to get a regular 8-bit greyscale jpg for regular rendering. I'll try and have it for you by late Sunday or Monday. Go here to see if you can find a solution to why SC4TF won't run. https://www.simtropolis.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=40&threadid=79100&enterthread=y Thanks to all for the great comments, hope you all enjoy dveloping it.

blade2k5 - that would be fantastic, thank you so very much! And I already went through that entire thread and was still unable to make it work properly :( I guess it's just not meant to be. But even if I can never use your map, it is still a beauty
