About This File

Polnoch Zemlja is a 13x8 large tile region map. It was made using actual terrain data, modified and composed in the SC4Terraformer. The main island is an exact replica of Jan Mayen, located off the coast of Greenland, and the second largest island is made from parts of Björöya in the Arctic Sea. Since this is a big map it might slow the game down on older computers.

I think of this map as an Arctic Archipelago in the North Atlantic - perhaps for building a military base or some weather stations - but it can just aswell be used for a tropical environment. There is enough flat land for developing towns and smaller cities (with a bit of work and a good slope mod), but it is not recommended for a huge metropolis.

The sea floor is completely handterraformed, and made especially to be suitable for underwater flora. You will find large sandbanks and shallow waters along the beaches, and much deeper waters around the high cliffs (hopefully deep enough for whale watching). You might want to consider this as you chose what terrain mod to use, as some mods don't look so good in shallow waters. Any of Cycledogg's terrains will look good!

Dependencies: SC4Terraformer or SC4Mapper.

It's actually closer to Norway then Greenland though. Jan Mayen is under Norwegian rule, you know. and mrbison, tru,e not many people live there, as in real life there are just tiny scientist camps and researc hstations there. Good map though. XD

@Glenni: Jan Mayen belongs to Norway, but it is actually closer to both Greenland and Iceland than to the Norweigian mainland: http://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bild:Jan_Mayen_orthographic.png Where Polnoch Zemlja is located is completely up to the user though. :-)

Not a very good city planner terrain, but it's some of the most scenic I've seen. I'm Norwegian also, so this is top score from me :D
