UPDATE:Completed Maps
Hong Kong (55-60% realistic sizing)
Mombasa (1:1 realistic sizing)
Remember suggestions and ideas are welcome!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
So march last year i got bored with the random maps and decided to make maps of actual places with pretty much the same distances and traveling times for things in real life.
I started on a Hong Kong map ,
http://archive.forum.simutrans.com/topic/07591.0/index.html , which i never ended up completing.
So now i've started up again and took prissi's advice. I played around with what the tutorial said and now i'm 25% done with a hong kong map which is heaps more acurate and 100x faster than i had before. It includes all areas of the Hong Kong SAR, even land reclamation.
I am also considering doing the following areas, just as ideas.
Macau SAR (2 versions, 1 with just original islands and 2 with land reclamation)
*1 version, present day macauHong Kong SAR - Shenzhen
*larger version under thoughtMacau SAR - Zhuhai
Shenzhen - HKSAR - MSAR - Zhuhai - { Zhongshan - Guangzhou - Dongguan}
Mombasa (being a Halo fan i thought it would be cool to make 'New Mombasa')
completeThe bigger maps of course would lag for most people, especially with autosave, so i dont know wether it would be worth it. But its seems cool as a 'multiplayer map' where each player has there own city area and develops and interlinks with each other. And it would also be extremely costly to build infrastructure for such distances.
Anyone have any ideas? any suggestions? Any certain city/area you think needs to be a map?
