GingerBlokey, I really like your color scheme!

I'm working on a new metro map, inspired by Boston, Copenhagen and Vienna. Click for large version. I'm quite happy with this map, actually. I think it has a certain structure and symmetry to it, while still feeling realistic. I won't try to build this in a city in the game, though, as it only works with a diagonally oriented downtown grid. I'm saving it for Cities Unlimited. EDIT: Actually, looking at it now, it looks a bit like Mentarman's map. Not trying to rip you off, I promise.

Paganini - Concerto no. 1

Less elegant in my opinion, but more elegant to some I suppose in its restriction to the "accepted" angles allowed by the London Tube map et al. quote> I like this version the best by far. In fact, I think it's great. Not only because I think a map using only 90 and 45 angles look more elegant - although I certainly do think that - but also because such a map looks more "Sim City-like", since those angles are the ones possible in the game. It makes it possible to imagine how the system works in-game.

Improved Busterville Metro map. I decided I wanted to route all the lines through the downtown. I also moved the airport to a more sensible location where it is now served by a re-routed metro line 8, added a grid that shows the SC config of 5x5 large cities, and cleaned stuff up a bit.

Great idea for a thread! As far as the classical era is concerned, right now it's Mozart's piano quartet in G minor, kv 478. Been listening to it a gajillion times over for the past few weeks, for some reason. As for the rest... hey, lots to choose from. I'll have to think. Oh, but what the heck, I'll chuck in a vote on early 20th century: the dance of the Russian babissimi from Stravinsky's Rite of Spring. Wowsers!

Ah, the guilty pleasures of mapmaking... My magnum opus - the latest Busterville Metro map. The area covered equals 5 x 5 large SC city tiles. 8 metro lines plus commuter rail service. 224 stations in all. Sources of inspiration for the map include London, Melbourne, Ottawa.

Hey, get13, great map! Also, I really like that logo.

Mozart - string quintet in G minor, kv 516. The allegro. It kicks hot monkey butt.
