[Whopper]

Hereby I would like to release my second version of the map called: Cindini!



Index:

• 1) Version 2.0 changes
  2) 5 top city trips
  3) 5 top tourist destinations (outside the major cities)
  4) Map download

(Note: Some of the pictures in the tourist guide were altered in photoshop)

With the release I also would like to post a small "tourist guide" showcasing some of the maps features.
I would like to start with the changes made in this new version of the map:



1) Version 2.0 changes:

- Most prominent cities and towns had a large make-over, adding a lot more detail to them.

- Population increased from 3.2 million to more then 4.5 million.

- Adding new (smaller) towns and suburbs without altering the original Cindini overview map.

- Standardization of signs on the map:

• * Point of interest*
  -- city/town district--
  -{* MAJOR GEOGRAPHICAL REGION *}-
  << extra notes >>

- Integrating new features like the canal “locks” to the map.

- Many other (smaller) updates to the map.

As stated the overview maps were not changed for this version. You can still watch those two large overview maps by clicking on this link below:

2) Top 5 city trips:


Capitola

Capitola is not only the geographic heart of the continent but with a population of over a million (including suburbs) also the most populous metropolitan area on the continent by far. The strait of Chuach splits this enormous city in two, with a bustling city center and surrounding metropolitan area in the North and a laid back atmosphere in the southern hills where you can find most of the cities beaches.

Walk along the tall skyscrapers of downtown Capitola with a view over the strait of Chuach.
Visit the impressive “Palacio Presidental” at “Isla del Capitola” where Impiriata's government resides.
Do some shopping at the exclusive (but expansive) Avenida Pompanjo in the Sinjeta district.
Go wild at one of the trendy clubs in “Punto Carnaval”.
Visit the Mia Norte national park, a peaceful getaway inside the Capitola metropolitan area.




Mia Bonanda

Since it's independence Mia Bonanda has grown a few years back from a medium sized mining town to a bustling metropolis. It has taken over the role of economic center of the continent and most foreign companies have their headquarter located in the city.

Tilegro

Although seldom visited by tourists, the capitol of Rutanio makes an interesting cultural side tour of the beaten track. Once the center of Cindian's wealthiest country the “gray city” fell into an economic decline like the rest of Rutanio under it's new communistic regime.

Saint Berdetta

Saint Berdetta was one of the earliest European settlements on the continent, and stayed the most important city during the colonial era's and first years of independence. Today Saint Berdetta is still one of the prime ports and it's attractive seaside settings make it also a popular holiday destination.

Go sandboarding at the Milano Dune
Drive along many steep roads up and down the rolling hills on which the city was build.




Ceronio

Nicknamed “the new Venice” this city is a major tourist attraction and the religious capital of Impiriata. Like Venice, the city was builded on many smaller islands.

3) Top 5 tourist destinations (outside the major cities):


Murica Isle

Murica Isle is an independent nation inside the kingdom of the Netherlands, but with a strong tie to the main land. This paradise Island offers not only some of the best beaches and dive locations in Cindini but also economic and political stability.

The Antian mountain range

The great Antian mountain range forms a natural border for the encroaching desert in the west and the swamplands in the east. While it wasn't long ago that these land's were regarded inhospitable by travelers, economic prosperity and the increase in tourism introduced a well maintained road network giving access to what is considered one of the most beautiful geographic and natural regions in the world..

Take a cultural tour to some of the sleepy native villages found in the Latia wetlands just west of the Antian mountains.




The Merlin Islands

This overseas property of great Britain is quite isolated from the rest of Cindini. The archipel consists of three tropical paradise Islands: Saint Brandon, Saint Harold and Saint Catwell. With a firm immigration policy and a population that is of mostly wealthy western European descent the Island enjoys the lowest poverty rate on the continent and it has been one of the major holiday destinations on the continent for many years.

The Sacuri Plateau

The Sacuri plateau was one of the earliest locations to be settled by Europeans, it's fertile and lush surroundings where an ideal base for farming and the cultivation of rubber. It's green rolling hills with old picturesque villages and farms make it the most visited cultural destination outside the large city's.

Learn all about the Toneladas Indians (Cindian's largest native tribe) at Adya Toneladas.
Cool down in the comfortable waters of the Benjarno reservoir.




Cristopher Bay

With it's great beaches and relatively cool climate the Cristopher bay is the major getaway for the residents of the Mia Bonanda metropolitan area. Don't expect to have a quite vacation however because it's beaches, nightclubs and water sport activities make it one of the continent's main youth attractions.

4) Map download:

The map is downloadable here:
http://www.stage-tanzania.nl/Cindini_R2 ... %202.0.scn

To play the map it is highly advised to keep city expansion disabled. You can disable the city expansion by going to: options > advanced settings > economy > towns and set the town growth rate to "none".

It is also advised to use a patch or mod to disable the industry closures that will otherwise occur when starting the map. A suggested patch for this is: "manual industries" ([url]link: http://grfcrawler.tt-forums.net/details ... ils&id=244[/url])

Some of the trees will slowly disappear in the smaller parks and green strokes. Therefor it would also be possible to use a patch or mod where you can disable tree growth. A suggested patch for this would be: http://bugs.openttd.org/task/1605

I believe I require fresh underwear.

[orudge]

That looks rather impressive, I must say.

[jonty-comp]

Good lord, I've never seen someone put so much work into OTTD screenshots! If the game itself looked like this, I think I would die of happiness. Very well done!

P.S. moved to scenarios forum

P.P.S.

Code: Select all

[welshdragon]

I think half of IRC just went and lost their virginity, I'll grab this later...

[Comm Cody]

Um Jonty, you screwed up the images I believe

[jonty-comp]

They still work fine here! D: They do break the tables a bit on 1024x768, but personally I don't care with this level of awesomeness.

[Bad Hair Day]

I demand directions to this paradise.

[Lord Aro]

WOW.

[FHS]

Just plain awesomness

[Whopper]

Thanks all

Just found out I uploaded the wrong version however

The one uploaded is a recent one but does not have a starting camera position on the middle of the map (Capitola)

This is fixed now.

[lawton27]

Awesome map, it's huge! and brilliant lots of effort has gone into every single tile, no criticisms here.

[Lord Aro]

1/2 million people in 1 town??? how???

[CommanderZ]

Is is possible to fix the green waterside slopes on beaches somehow?

[Whopper]

Not on all beaches at least, you can place "river" tiles next to the coast so that the coast tile won't flood and removes the desert ground, however this won't work at diagonal beach parts. (wich are half water and half land)

[el koeno]

Oh my.... Has my favourite scenario gotten even better? Poor old laptop never could cope with Cindini as it was using CargoDist, with increased population it might get worse... (Or won't it? I don't really know.) Either way: fortunately my desktop is up and running! Good job, Whopper!
