building a map and then playing on it

[next wolf]

I tried to add some difficulty to the map by giving it some geographical quirks

Trollbridge, the easternmost city, has two bridges, however it is surrounded by mountains and the ocean so the only way out for a train is to either go over the mountain, go through the mountain (very expensive) or go around it

The southernmost town, Herowin, is on a peninsula with a very narrow connection with the rest of the land. They will probably have to build a bunch of bridges or rely on ships

There are a collection of 4 cities to the west. Paradise City and Unsettlement are on an island and a peninsula respectively, so transport will be difficult. There is a very narrow valley between Dogville and Deville, which trains would have to be concentrated in. There is also a mountain between the main continent and the south island, so if I wanted trains to go through that I may have to do some land reclamation or have the trains climb slowly to the top

Near the center the twin cities of Heisenburg and Healiopolis are on a plain, next to a lake. It should be relatively easy to connect them to the rail system, and they've already build themselves a road connecting each other which is useful for buses and mail trucks for early game income. Paradise City and Unsettlement are similarly linked

And finally to the north, Witt's End. I don't think I will go here until at least when I get better diesel engines, or maybe planes?

I've tried to scatter the industries around, but they're pretty concentrated towards the left side of the map. Hopefully I will get enough money to build more industries to the right.
