Germany v2 (gigantomaniac 1-1)

Germany v2 (gigantomaniac 1-1) All of Germany plus the Netherlands, Belgium (east of Brussels), Luxembourg, north-eastern France (Champagne, Lorraine, Alsace, Burgundy, Franche-Comté), northern and central Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Austria (west of Vienna), Bohemia and western Poland (Szczecin, Zielona Góra) on a gigantomaniac 1:1 map (28.7 x 28.7 km). Vienna and the Belgian coast lie outside the frame. 182 real cities at their real locations. Most cities start at minimum size. About 40 big cities (Berlin, Hamburg, Munich, Cologne, Frankfurt, the Ruhr cities, Amsterdam, Brussels, Prague, Zurich and others) demand eight or nine cargo types; regional cities demand fewer. This is car country: most residential districts demand vehicles. Improvements since v1 More detailed ridges and valleys in the German central uplands More detailed long rivers and coastlines Satellite paint at the highest possible detail Far fewer cities and industries to leave as much room for railways as possible, with resources and industries rebalanced (cities 285 → 182, industries 1,423 → 1,057) Tips Large warehouses work well as buffers between production chains. The North German Plain is flat, but the central uplands are walls for railways. Tunnel through them or follow the river valleys, as the real lines do.
