CoriMap Cori's Castle - Complete Region 1.0

This is an incredibly ingenious and inventive idea.

It revolves around the concept of a template region which features individual city tiles with a defined purpose. In this instance, the main focus clearly being the central tile with those neighbouring to complement.

Once installing the necessary dependencies and copying the folder to Regions, it can be loaded like any other map. Since these are pre-existing tiles already rendered, it saves time being ready to play right away. I feel there's scope for a whole range of cities to be developed and uploaded to the STEX in this way. Maybe airports and seaports in a similarly specialised designed map, then in-keeping with the concept of shareable cities, allowing each mayor to use each as a base to work with.

In terms of Cori's Castle itself, it truly is a magnificent creation. The effort involved to individually and strategically place 3,392 lots including 1,909 walls and 1,483 moats. It's clever how the walls conform to the flattened terrain elevations, while the cliff edges from the "ENN Rock" mod define a rock face emphasising the boundaries and with the moats. I highly recommend using this with the Columbus textures. The ferry terminal in the north side is also a nice touch, along with the tunnels and other details including the entrances.

While already from the template having a mightily impressive aesthetical appearance, I can see endless potential here for developing a thriving empire residing inside. How currently the castle is a relic from a long ago era, and now it's possible to be restored to its former glory, or however one wishes.

For a sample, here's a few preview pics I've captured:

 

Themed sets such as the 19th Century Small Shops by @CT14 and various Mountain Theme Pack fillers from @Pegprod would be ideal alongside. With the possibility to keep everything self-sufficient inside the castle grounds, then perhaps segmenting wealth levels between the outer and inner quadrants. All while still maintaining RCI growth functionality, helped by the advantages of extra control provided by No Kickout (a mod which I wholeheartedly endorse using).

A superbly conscripted and extremely well executed concept.

Queen Cori reigns supreme!

Wow! What a great "little" project... 

Having been a long time user of CP's Columbus Mod, I just threw it in the plugins and came up with this curio - without realizing I use the lower snow version...

Cori's Castle in winter time (brrr...). Now off to find some things medieval-ish.

Thanks for providing this.   

Awesome work!! 

Needs to download some old buildings for this 

Thank you   I will have a lot of fun incorporating this with your LOTR work from a few years back   

This is a very interesting work! This is unusual!
