[blade2k5]

I was tinkering around today with making a map of the Colorado Springs/Pikes peak area and this was the result of that tinkering around.....



Since, in my opinion, this turned out so good, I've added it to my long and growing upload list.

Well Troy all I got to tell you that its Vicki Approved as being accurate lol.... Yes she has been in that area....  Looking good if I must say and about that one project I think this map might work rather well??? I should hopefully be able to get on MSN for a minute here before vicki kicks me off

excellent map my friend

Hi, I am new here and I was wondering if you could a map for Port-Au-Prince Haiti please? Though I am awful when it comes to making tile size can you make them all large tile? I would greatly appreciated it, one last tiny favor, I am not sure if your the author for the Tokyo city map or not, It just that there are some spot where it is medium and small tile sizes. I am still noob when it comes to auto create the terrains and have to do things the old fashion way(by clicking on the tile and rendering back to the game tiles) in which all of you know is tedious working.

[blade2k5]

Your map request will be no problem at all [I always config my maps for large tiles...saves a lot of time rendering].  It may be a couple of weeks before I am able to get to it as I have several dozen other map projects going at the moment.  Keep checking back here for further updates

I'm not sure which Tokyo map you're referring to as I haven't done Tokyo yet, but I do know that when I eventually get around to it, it will be a massive map due to the size of the city.

For quicker rendering by loading each individual tile, may I suggest the only plugin you have in your plugins folder would be whatever terrain mod you are using....tiles tend to load in a matter of seconds and save just as fast this way.

Me wants that Colorado Springs map.

Well... I'll admit it could do with a nice river or something, but that's okay. I'll add it in.

Unless you lower the elevation, you'll have to plop the water in

Wow this région is super the mountains looks sublime

Well the Tokyo map if i recall I download it from the simtropolis site, withing it contains many maps such as; Singapore, Sydney, Portland, etc. I have no problem waiting since I do a little a game modification myself and found how annoying and tedious they can be. For Port-Au-Prince I strongly request more of the city area that are near the water rather than the inlet, this can save you time and fasten the process a bit.

Well, I've worked my "magic" on the Colorado Springs map... (well, that is, loading each city tile up, etc) it looks great with the Italia terrain mod.


Personally, that's my favourite part of the map.


The valley looks great when tree cover's been applied.


And the centre of all this... Pikes Peak.

Well, I had to drop the height of the map by approximately 1500m to get these results. I reckon that it's turned out great.

[blade2k5]

It looks fantastic Shadow   and adding the trees in makes it look even better.  Excellent job on making it your own

Sweet! Very nice Troy. Puter is working now but have a lot of reloading to do.

wow , I like it a lot with the trees  very good work SA 

[XiahouDun]

I can't way to play around with that Colorado Springs map. It may just take over as my new main region

[CasperVg]

I can only second what XiahouDun said, this one will go straight into my region folder. 

[blade2k5]

Hmmmm.....seems I have found another gold nugget with this new Colorado Springs map.  I wasn't really planning on uploading this right away, but if SA wants to send me the sc4m of his modified version, I'll upload that version here to the LEX and at a later date, upload my original over at ST.

In the meanwhile, as requested by sagimine1 I would like to announce that the Port Au Prince, Haiti map is now available exclusively on the LEX
