Good day NHP Team!
I would like to request a scale-accurate map of the region in western Europe just north of Lichtenstein (the area around Lake Constance). I've tried extensively to do this myself, however I've done nothing but fail miserably. Here is the region I am requesting:

It's around 47N009E/47N008E. I will be eternally gratefully to anyone who is willing to work their magic for me. ;D If the map is too small (less then 4x4 large city tiles) then it can be enlarged to 4x4.
Thank you in advance!
Ok, got the data, though I can tell you this map will be a 18x10 large tile map for the area you selected. Not sure if I'll be able to save it wwhen finished working on it with Terraformer. For some reason, maps that size cause an error when saving in terraformer. I'll give it a go and see what happens. If I can't save it, I'll see if I can get one other mapper to finish it off for me.

18x10...whew. :'(
Can you shrink it down then maybe? That way it wouldn't lose any data but would be a more manageable size. Could you shrink it in half to 9x5 (maintaining the 1.8 ratio)?
I can do that and try to keep it as accurate as possible.

Awesome, thank you so much. :)
If there's not too much loss of accuracy, maybe you could scale it down even further to 6x3.33 (using small/medium city tiles to fill in). I just realized 45 tiles is still alot. :-[
Actually, 9x5 isn't as big as you think it is, considering a portion of those tiles will be mountainous areas you can't really build on anyways. :thumbsup:

Okay I'll take your word for it. ;D
Looking forward to getting to start playing again. :)
Good news. Your request is nearing the finish line, all that's left to do is render it, get it all packaged up and then release it. Here's a sneak peak...

By the way, what do you want me to name this map?
Beautiful! :o Thank you so much!
Uhh..."Lake Constance" would work to describe it I think. :)
Ok. Thanks for the needed info and I'll be rendering it with Cycledogs Meadowshire terrain mod. By the way, what country is Lake Constance in again?
Germany, Switzerland and Austria...though I'd say it's most closely associated with Switzerland. :)
Ok, here is the rendered version. :thumbsup:

GORGEOUS! ;D
Once again, thank you for lending me your amazing talent. :)
My pleasure. :)

My pleasure. :)
Just wanted to let you know how excited I am to get started on this map...any chance that will be today? Classes were canceled today so I have all the time in the world to start urbanizing this beauty. :)
Give me about an hour to get it packaged up and released to the LEX. Trying to finish up on some other requests I have from SimTropolis.

Ok, here you go...
