Best fictional map; tips needed

[Barsoom]

On Caradoc Sound: I like the map. Fits all the criteria.

My points: A bit too much highway and maybe railway too. All on the leftside, is that needed? Less is more

And also on the starting square: Highway could have been till the bridge, now there is a ugly part coming in the square. And why is the starting square diagonal? I realy like the way the railway in positioned!

I agree. It is a fun map, looks natural too. It does have too many highways and rail lines; why would anyone put in two of each connecting to the island when there isn't a city there yet? Also, the river on the lower left is deceptive, it looks like a good place for a hydroelectric dam and when you buy the square (after buying the nice farmland in between, that part is great) it says it can generate 600 MW but when you actually put it there, it screws up the water flow; the most it can actually handle is about 300 MW.

Edit: Having played on this map for a couple of hours yesterday, I noticed you need 9 tiles the get the whole of your starting island, while if you tilted them a bit, you could do it with 3 or maybe 4. Still a great map if you're running the 25 tiles unlocked mod, though.

I highly recommend Sea Turtle Falls

Such an entertaining challenge

I understand that people like to have challenges. For me Sea Turtle Falss is over the top and will not make the list.

Some nice maps.
I believe my map fits the thread opener´s criteria too. There also a river in the mountains (not visible in this picture) where you can create a dam with a nice reservoir.
How do you manage the water stream? Because the big river creates waves the river delta is sometimes dry. If someone has a tip I would appreciate it.

I can sometimes create a similar wave-making machine when placing the water sources on fairly uneven ground or placing several close together. My guess would be to have a look where they are placed and see if they are causing the problem.

Is there a option like sand, with white -> snow?
My first try with the Editor is rough 1/4 ready and already 4-6 hours,..

A glacier with out snow, global warming maybe,...?
Maybe i post it a little bit later.
