This is a smaller map, with lots of dense forest are and farmland. There’s also a few smaller islands spread around from the starting area as you expand. You’re surrounded by ocean and natural mountains, and the terrain is flat but not uniform, you will have to deal with uneven geography in places. This map has lots of really strong areas to build in. Your starting area is quite flat, although as you expand outwards away from the intersection of the two islands the terrain gets more and more mountainous. This map consists of two islands next to each other, both with good amounts of flat space to work with. You will eventually need to add more, but this gives you extra perks when starting out. This map is also more structured, in that it has lots of well-built interchanges to work with, and you are given some water/power in your starting tile. There is a river that runs through the middle on both sides creating an island in the middle, although both sides of the river have lots of space to work with. This map is sort of a valley surrounded on 3 sides by mountains, with the ocean on the fourth side. It is a bit small compared to some other maps, but overall seems really fun. This map is one of the most interesting one’s I’ve seen. It has a super unique shape, and each mini island has slightly different terrain. This island looks like someone took an island and cut through it with some canals. The only potential downside is the lack of mountains or huge height geography, but still a fantastic map. Also, the pre-made roads and intersections are great looking, with tons of awesome detail put into the interchanges so they’re interesting and aren’t just empty space. The map gives you a bit of power and water at the start, a toll booth near the outside of the map to give you some income, and lots of natural resources.
