Kamchatka, Russia

Description:
In Soviet Russia, Terraformer maps YOU!
Kamchatka is a Russian peninsula on the Ring of Fire north of Japan. This map follows the Kamchatka river past the massive volcano of Kliuchevskoi and 2 of its neighbors: Kamen and Bezymianny. It passes the town of Klyuchi and then spreads out into a large wetlands area before reuniting and passing through the mountains to the east on it's way to the pacific. Only some of the wetlands has been converted to SC4 game water (about 1/3 to 1/2) since converting ALL of the marshes wouldn't leave much room to build on the flat lands. And also because i made this map to suit my own style of play and to appear in my CJ, the Ring of Fire.
HUGE props go to drunkapple for his advice in how to fix what i was doing wrong with the SRTM satellite data, this map wouldn't have been possible without his immense help.

Installation:
This map is in .sc4m format and requires either Terraformer or Mapper to import.
1. Navigate to your Documents/SimCity 4/Regions folder and create a new folder with your desired region name
2. Copy+paste the config.bmp file into the folder you just created.
3. Open SC4TF, open the new region, import the .sc4m file, save and quit.
4. You must open and save each tile for it to display your terrain mod instead of the terraformer/mapper elevation color overlay.
This map is 60 km x 60 km (15 x 15 = 225 large tiles). It is scale and elevation accurate, other than one annoying hole in the satellite data. The volcano Kliuchevskoi tops out at just under 5000m game elevation, so you will need a terrain mod or a patch that has it's max altitude set to AT LEAST 5000m to load this map.
(I HIGHLY recommend using the high altitude + snow installation of Lowkee's most excellent Appalachian Terrain Mod and shokthrpy's Brigantine 2.0 HD water)
