Not to be confused with the DLC, this is a map that does not require the DLC in order to run. Also the fact that it’s a real location adds a bit to the appeal. There’s one large river running through the middle of the whole map, and it does have something not many other maps have (a lake). It’s mostly flat, however there are some hills on either side. This map is re-creation of the actual terrain that Cologne is built on. This map is more of a medium-size, so not quite as big as the others but not as small as some of the other island maps. It’s mostly flat, although there are some hills and mountains to deal with. The roads might need a bit of a re-work as you expand, but overall a super cool map.Ī big crescent shaped island cut into smaller pieces by rivers, with a central island in the middle of the crescent shape. Near the waterfall are a lot of plateaus to work with, and between the steps you have flat space to work with. This map has one of the coolest features, in that there is a road curving next to a giant waterfall. However, that doesn’t mean it’s a boring map, and you get a bit more continuous space to work with here when compared to other options.

This map is more plain than others, it’s a flat coast on the left side and as you move right things get more mountainous. It has a very interesting shape, and the numerous trees give it a very lush feel. The map is mostly a single island with a river running as a spiral through towards the center, with a mountain near the middle. 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. This map is mainly flat, however it has some of the coolest detail I’ve seen in a map. Not the most unique map on this list but it has everything you’d need to build a strong city. This map is a large bay with a lot of flat open area, but still there are mountains and coastline to work with.
