Lugo Galicia w NExt2
REQUIRED ITEMS TO THE RIGHT ON THIS PAGE
This is Lugo, Galicia in honor of our creator of so many Galician assets, Armesto! He helped a lot with this map and requested that we use Network Extensions 2 so that we could have a more realistic look to the 2 lane highways (National Road) and 4 lane autopista / highway. It makes for a great looking map! No giant 6 lane highways marring the beautiful rolling hills of Lugo.
I am unsure how much using smaller highways may affect traffic in the game, so in anticipation I made as many outer rings as possible (using the real Lugo’s roads). Nevertheless, there are some significant traffic problems. I would guess this map can handle only a small to medium-sized city with little villages, unless you do significant upgrades to highway networks so that it can handle higher traffic loads.

Forest: heavy (Note, the two main trees are higher on poly count. Advice: before building on an area, remove all the trees first instead of just building over them. Even though you can’t see them, they’re still eating up performance)
Agro: light
Ore: very little
Oil: none

Satellite Overlay: use the outstanding Overlayer V2 mod if you want to build the real place.

The image is upside down because the sun rotates backwards in CS. The map is made so that the sun rotates correctly from East to West, so the overlay matches this setup.

Thanks to Soruvisu and Arisandi for making two of the very complex and unique intersections found here. Thanks to Mr Maison and pdelmo for the custom trees and riverside plants used. The Live Oak is used as the analog for the local Galician oaks, and the London Plane Tree is itself in its natural range, known locally as pradairo común. Other suggested trees created by Mr Maison to add on your own to make your Lugo even closer to reality are Pinus Silvestris (Scots Pine). Also seen in great numbers in Galicia is the Eucalyptus (Mr Maison’s Mountain Ash), a controversial invasive species.

special note: At the very edge of the map, the highway connections are 6 lane. If this bothers you (although it’s impossible to see without mods), with a few mods by BloodyPenguin, you can change the highways outside the playable area to match the rest of the 4 lane highway system. They must be 6 lane (3 and 3) to form outside connections, so the very edge bits of the highways are default highways rather than 4 lane.
