Norway & Nordic Borders

Explore Norway and its Nordic neighbours on a handcrafted Gigantomaniac 1:3 map. The map covers mainland Norway and adjoining parts of Sweden, Finland and northern Denmark. Real elevation data has been adapted for playability, with recognisable mountain regions, valleys, fjords and major lakes. Forests, clearings, open highlands and wetlands bring variety to the landscape. Features: - 34 towns with varied starting sizes, led by Oslo, Bergen, Trondheim and Stavanger. - Small mountain communities, including Geilo, Lom and Dombås. - Hirtshals and Aalborg in northern Denmark. - 54 industries distributed across the map, including forestry, sawmills, crop farms, livestock, quarries, cement plants, fishing grounds, oil platforms and refineries. - More space around towns for growth and transport infrastructure. - Broader shipping passages and gentler shorelines near towns and industry. - Subarctic economy with varied starting cargo demands. Geography is compressed and selectively adjusted to balance recognisable scenery with enjoyable construction. Town and industry locations may differ from their exact real-world positions. Harbours are left for the player to build. Suggested coastal sites near both refineries support planning maritime oil transport; actual station coverage and shipping routes should be checked in game. Map size: Gigantomaniac, 1:3 — approximately 16.4 × 49.2 km. This is an experimental map size, so performance will depend on your hardware and how extensively you develop the map.
