Hello everyone!

I just was wondering how people manage to make perfectly straight shorelines that allow for the perfect, aligned construction of boardwalks? Is there some sort of map editor program I need to download?

Thank you in advance! :D

It is a matter of becoming proficient with the Mayor mode civil engineering tools, particularly the leveling tool. This tool easily cuts away or adds to the shoreline. Example:

    Thank you for replying! That seems kinda meticulous and prone to error, but if its the only way to do so, I'll take it. Thank you again. :D

    LOL that made my day :D Yeah, I've been searching the internet for things to help me make gigantic cities with relative ease and in a matter of seconds, but you, along with several others, helped me realize that that shouldn't be my goal, but rather, to make realistic cities, and that's where the fun really lies in this game. Thank you again. :)

    PEG's leveling lots help a great deal for me.

    Agreed, but you still have to do some civil engineering with the result. I usually like to back up a seaport with an industrial pod without a big landscape break.
