Fictional Map September 24, 2009, 09:48:23 pm After some gaming experience, I decided to try a kind of map which is not usual in simutrans: islands. I made my own islands map by merging four real islands into a fictional map. The size is 1024x1024, but I could make smaller (or larger) versions if I'm asked to. I wanted to share it so you can play it if you like: us (site down, do not visit) ]/image/show/ZEkG1y_GRL/fictional-map.jpg]Download map hereSize 1: us (site down, do not visit) ]/files/get/MCuMTqhQCZ/zeno-fictional-01.7z]1024x1024Size 2: us (site down, do not visit) ]/files/get/6XznweK6YP/duck-islands-512.7z]512x512 Quote Selected Last Edit: October 01, 2009, 06:10:23 pm by Zeno
Re: Fictional Map Reply #1 – September 24, 2009, 10:00:43 pm Ah, that's nice. One of the disappointments I've had with the Simutrans terrain generator is that I can't seem to generate islands well... heh.That's a pretty cool map - will download. What I think would be neat would be something like that, but maybe even larger, with 30-50 small islands.Still, that looks pretty darned spiffy, and great to encourage sea or air Quote Selected
Re: Fictional Map Reply #2 – September 24, 2009, 11:46:17 pm Can you think of a nice name for your map, so I can put it on the maps website? Quote Selected
Re: Fictional Map Reply #3 – September 25, 2009, 04:30:13 am If you're stuck for names, I might suggest "Duck Islands" cos top left one reminds me of a wingless, footless duck. Quote Selected

O_oAnyway I'll think about it... Quote Selected
Re: Fictional Map Reply #5 – September 25, 2009, 10:03:44 pm lol - well, you know the rule - once someone does something, it's very very easy to write suggestions... ;-) I didn't mean my comment to even be a suggestion, per se.Don't worry about making one - I was more thinking aloud "I should work on something like this, only more islands" Quote Selected
Re: Fictional Map Reply #6 – September 29, 2009, 07:27:11 pm OK, Duck Islands it is then. From now on on the Simutrans maps site.Very nice map actually. There are some natural places to place cities. My hands are itching to start a new game with it. No, first finish the current one. Quote Selected
