I grew tired of the random maps and not being satisfied with the size of the maps on the maps website, I tried making, or remaking, a map of Russia.
Slightly comical looking, doesn't include everything, but all of it is done on purpose. There are gigantic mountains as obstacles between a few sections of vast plains cut off by rivers. You have to turn on rivers to get rivers, obviously.
There might be a few stray pixels, but it should be good for the most part.
Size: 3040x1600
water level: -2
height levels: -1 to 8
Recommended: river count 1024, max river length 1024

Very very nice. I'll be using this next time I start a new map. :)
Nice map! I will publish it on the Simutrans maps website, if you don't mind. Creator is AEO?
Looks promising :)
I'll give it a try for sure!
Big map, as soon as I've finished my Germany map which is (only!) 1751x1751 I'll give it a try!
sure, go ahead.
It's much much better than my first attempt at this map.
I think this is in the wrong section.. Perhaps it ought to be moved to a different section, i.e Simutrans Discussion or Documentation. But of course, that's a mod decision :D
Maybe the original version is a savegame - with rivers and cities? If not, this could be moved to where map topics belong...
No, this is a heightmap, so it should be put in Documentation, Resources and Sites. I had not noticed this before...
I tried searching before hand, and it seems there were only talk about the maps website, but no actual maps, so I figured it should be posted in add-ons.
but now I know where to post my next map ;)
