Triangle Nation: custom SimCity 4 map

With the last map played as much as I’d like it was time to turn my attention to something new.  For those following the map releases skip ahead. For those who aren’t here’s what it’s all about…

This time I tried to not think too much about the eventual city/region layout and instead concentrate on producing something very geometric.  In truth the inspiration was some of my wife’s all over fashion prints. Simple shapes can make beautiful patterns and as we’re about to find out, can create interesting challenges to the budding city planner.

So here it is: Triangle Nation.  She’s built solely from triangles, only elevation differentiates one triangle from another.  That might sound simple enough, but with no smoothing or weather erosion to tone down their harshness the mountain sides can get pretty steep!

I did actually play test this map, cunningly however my computer decided to crash and even more cunningly I forgot to save. Very newb I know – not to be confused with noob.  Since then I’ve not had time to play the map again, I’d love to know if anyone else has!
