New Atlantis
In the 22nd century much of Earth’s climates have changed to a dry, arid and hot desert. Mankind is on the brink of extinction by wars over the last farmable lands…
There were no signs of change in the predictions made by the few scientists that were left in Western civilisation, not a glimmer of hope for the future.
Until suddenly, after a large earthquake in the Mojave desert, an unexplained geo-logical event happened: the once scorching hot Death Valley has changed into an oasis with at the center a lush green plateau. Filled with plenty resources for humanity to survive. We named it: New Atlantis!
It has:
– 4 road, 4 train, 3 boat and 4 airplane connections both in/out.
– every natural resource scattered amongst the plateau.
– everything within the 25 tiles is handsculpted using the map editor, except the surrounding mountain edges which are taken from a Death Valley USGS heightmap which is slightly adjusted.
– placing metro lines accross the many parts of the plateau can be tricky/hard so feel free to adjust the edges with a Terraform mod or with the map-editor for a “hassle-free” experience.
It is inspired by the myth surrounding the disappearance Atlantis and the animated movie from Disney. I felt there was need for a map with many waterfalls, lush paradise vs desert and a layered landscape. I’m really satisfied with the result using both handmade parts and an existing height map.
Pick up your resources, gather the last survivors of Earth and make your way to New Atlantis!
