About This File

Not as ambitious perhaps as doing the continental United States but a lot closer to home for me :P

 

This is a scale map (approximately 1:2 in SimCity world) of the Tyne and Wear area in the North East of England. There shouldn't be much tweaking required in God Mode once it's in-game although I did have to slightly alter the course of a couple of river sections as they go "iffy" when too close to the edge of a city border. I mostly used large city tiles to reduce this problem but there is still a mix of large, medium and small cities as I wanted to try and keep Sunderland and Durham as close to where they actually are as possible.

 

 

Just to highlight where the major roads and cities are:

... and should you wish to download psander5's model of the Angel of the North this is roughly where it is IRL (you may want to create a little artificial hill for it to stand on):

It's worrying how much tweaking this actually took to get to look "right" (ish) in-game - hey ho. >.<


What's New 1.1


Released

  • Version 1.1 has the bottom 64 pixels cropped off so that it loses that row of small cities along the southern edge of the map. There are still 6 small cities on the game area (I could have merged 4 of them into 2 medium sized cities but it would have played hell with part of the river system north of Durham - there are a further 14 small cities in the North Sea which can be ignored)... this keeps Durham and Seaham in the right places and doesn't run rivers along city edges.
  • You will need to rename "config v1.1.bmp" to "config.bmp" before importing it into the game of course ;)
