The last one with the "janky" map edge: simple, the author never made a "world" map hence the immediate transition to the upside down. For outside connections: just because there are none to start doesn't mean that you can't have them. You just run the relevant path/connection to the playable map edge and they auto-create. So you can have intercity trains if you want, or external shipping lines, or more road connections (not sure about ped connections...) Nice showcase. Hopefully I'll have a map or two to add once the Map Editor gets the next update (and the Extra Detailing stuff calms down)

Some nice looking maps but man something about the CS2 art style and textures feels so... flat and lifeless. Not from a terrain perspective but a texture perspective. It just looks... off.

I definitely agree here. While the camera mode stuff can look fantastic, the actual vanilla gameplay graphics lack character. CS1 is much more charming in its visuals imo. LUTS & textures sorely needed!

I agree. It feels like flat gray and flat deep green is the only colours. The sea is the sea. But on land… just looks dated.

IMO they overreacted to comments about CS1 looking cartoonish by making CS2 samey and drab. Just had to tone it down rather than making it so bland.

Glad it could help!

They need to fix it so that infrastructure and geography and natural features like trees can go all the way to the edge of the visible map. It doesn't mean that they have to make the entire thing playable and I understand why it's not (too computer resource intensive) but it really wrecks immersion to see all these things just stop. Make it like CS1 where everything goes to the edge but you can only build up to a certain point.

Nicely done. I'm actually building on that Chicago map, it's great. BTW that road in Chicago is Lake Shore Drive. Good stuff.

Lovely stuff, cheers mate

5:07 Jeffersonian grids are the scars of the early United States lands division. Once they'd acquired all the lands they needed, they plotted the lands from East to West in squares of one mile by one mile, usually laying roads as boundaries. This made easier to distinguish state owned lands vs private property. This is the reason why some American cities feature grids even on unfriendly terrain (San Francisco, Los Angeles, etc.)

love it. 👍👍

LSD ! Lake Shore Drive! Great content as always Egg !

Thanks, Egg.

Those graphics are dead-on nice & new up-to-date i like the rural maps.

Can you do a video on how to download a topography map for cities 2

Is wind direction an internal game thing or something map makers can decide for themselves? I feel like real wind blows IN from the ocean but many of the maps have it blowing out from the land.

These maps just go to further show the creativity and skill of the community!

Can you recommend a decent Tropical map? And I don't mean a map with a few palm trees slapped on it, I mean one with a genuine tropical feel and look to it? I looked the other day and they were all just dreadful. I'm looking for one with high detailing like what we get on CS1, or do those maps not exist yet?

It's difficult to make a very realistic looking map without mod dependencies. We are limited by textures (surfaces require better bulldozer to remove) and trees/props can't be too close together (without anarchy). I'm working on a couple tropical maps right now and it's very time consuming. The maps are large so it takes a very long time to create a map with high detail. My first map took approximately 80 hours.

Daybreak, has palm trees, inspired by the Australian east coast. However, the climate is wrong due to a map editor error and is too cold for a tropical map. It’d be a great one to play on once that gets fixed.

Egg what would you recommend monorail or trams

@Jadushnew

Not Egg, but monorails are loud, unrealistic for most cities, and limited by their track pieces (more than trams). So I recommend trams every time.

Interested how you came to the conclusion that THESE are the best 5 maps? Did you actually play every map to find out? Or did 5 people just pay you to include theirs? :D :D ;) No way these are the best 5.

@ytth439 Expectations were high, and people were super disappointed. I get it. But people aren't going to give CO a chance because of what happened at the release date and the "DLC." It's been almost a year since then, and you just gotta move past it and just appreciate the game for what it is, despite not being the best. Or just don't play the game.

this game looks HORRIBLE
