Powhatan Valley

Welcome to the Povatan Valley!

The Povatan Valley is a map designed to evoke a sense of pioneering in North America. It is a heavily forested valley, surrounded on all sides by cliffs and overlooking a small coastline. Small, fast rivers cascade through the valley in this pristine wilderness. Will you decide to build a fancy settlement that will settle comfortably within the area? Or will you dominate the jungle with bold infrastructure and steel and glass towers?

What the hell does "Powatan" mean?

The Povatan Valley is named after a confederation of native tribes who lived in what is now Virginia. The Powatans (or, more often, the Powhatans) are probably best known as a group of natives who had contact with John Smith and the Jamestown settlement, spawning the famous Pocahontas story (literally "mischief" in the Powatan language).

Details:

- Handmade from real-world data from Apache Mesa in New Mexico.

- Road, rail, sea and air connections are available and working.

- Forest, agricultural, ore and oil fields are available.

- Crossed terrain for creative construction

cities - Hydroelectric safety. If you find a place to build a dam, it will almost certainly work.

- Complex water flows that prompt you to think about water infrastructure.

- A lot of wind power... Not on the first tile.

Notes to the gameplay:

"The water on this map is flowing fast, but not very deep. Each river can take about 4 water pumps and still maintain half a decent flow rate. In addition, you may have problems obtaining the flow necessary to move dirty water. This is one of the problems inherent in this map. Placing pumps and pipes in this game is usually quite simple. This environment should make you look at them a little more carefully.

- As stated, there is practically no wind power on the starting tile. It was a by-product of the characteristics of the terrain, but it really should have been an interesting test. Everyone always starts with wind power; Try something different!

"This map has a lot of flat, building land. But most of it is actually on top of rocks. If you want to use this space, you will have fun putting your roads and rails there.

Final thoughts:

I can't believe how popular Boulder Rapids has become. Today it is still the most popular card in the workshop with over 24,000 followers. I saw people posting screenshots of it everywhere. Every time someone asks what good cards there are on Reddit, one of the first mentions is Boulder Rapids. There are even Let's Players using my card in their videos. This is unreal! The reaction to this map has been incredible, and I'm, frankly, a little bemused. But all of you who supported the map also inspired me to want to make more content for this amazing game. Thank you for subscribing and playing in these environments that I created. It's amazing!

As always, I'm happy to get feedback. If there are problems on the map that are breaking the game, please let me know so I can do my best to fix them. If there are ways in which the map could be better, or if you have ideas, let me know, and I can use that knowledge in future projects.

Thank you all! Have a good city planning!
