I made a map and it's pretty epic. This video covers the terrain and water parts of the map creation. Next video will cover networks so make sure you don't miss that.

Get the map here: steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2849556600

Costa Azzurra is based on heightmaps from Savona, Italy.
Heightmaps from: https://heightmap.skydark.pl/

On windows, put heightmap png file in this directory:
[DRIVE]\Users\[USERNAME]\AppData\Local\Colossal Order\Cities_Skylines\Addons\MapEditor\Heightmaps

Free software GIMP was used to edit heightmaps to get the deeper sea floor.
