  1. Avalon Archipelago

    Hey there ... I've been playing Simcity 4 for several years now, and although I had couple of long breaks, I keep on returning to this awesome game. Everytime I return, I always find something new and inspiring on the Simtropolis forums, and I love reading through the city journals pages. I thought that this time, I might try to start my own CJ, track my progress in building the islands population, and perhaps give someone new ideas to other players out there too I've started playing on a hand made map, that I've created about a year ago in Photoshop (you can find it somewhere in Fantasy maps section of STEX), and the region was further hand terraformed before I started any cities. Unfortunately, I haven't made screenshots before I started laying out the cities, so the satellite view below shows the islands inhabited by approx. 20 thousands people (current population): Full resolution picture (2500x1150, 1.7MB) can be found here I've named most of the islands and regions in archipelago, as can bee seen with full city grid on following satellite view Full resolution picture (2500x1150, 1.9MB) can be found here And finally, transportation map of the archipelago. As the cities (or rather villages) are still small, most of the transportation is done only by roads and streets. On the eastern island, where most of current population resides, you can see the first railway going from Eureka to Copacabana, Full resolution picture (2500x1150, 1.8MB) can be found here It all began in Eureka ... but how ? That's what we'll find in the next update /Sairait

    Mortello: The map is 1537x1025, which translates into 24x16 config.bmp ((1537-1)/64=24 and (1025-1)/64=16) ... if you have troubles importing it, try saving the .jpg a different format (.bmp or .png)

    GAT-X105: Yes, it should be possible. Just open the .jpg and then Save As with .bmp (256 color) type

    GAT-X105 > I might have had same problem with a different map. Try converting the .jpg into .bmp before importing it, that helped in my case ...

    This Photoshop hand-drawn subtropic islands region with diverse landscape offers many interesting opportunities for transportation planning and city growth.
