The Netherlands with Industries 1850

Heightmap taken from Sirion
If you wish to play without roads and Industry I highly recommend his map.

I made this map because I wanted to play the Netherlands on megalomaniac size. The original however did not include industries or roads so I made this. The roads are randomly generated.
The Industries however are handpicked. I took alot of inspiration from Omnificent's: Nederland Vanilla, and RenAigu's: Netherlands map for some industries, while others I either placed because I though it would make sense or hoped it would create a more balanced gameplay.

Ideally I would have as many realistically placed industries so if you happen to know some I'll gladly add them and give them a fitting name.

There have been some slight changes. I made the rivers and canals wide enough to allow ships to traverse them. I also made Three "Islands" off the coast to represent trade with foreign lands so you can make an even bigger Europahaven. They also have cities that accept any good if you want to export.

There are of course a bunch of fun chalanges to be made. These mainly include terraforming so that you can make your own Afsluitdijk, Haarlemmermeerpolder and Flevopolder. Or digging the Amsterdam-Rijnkanaal to connect IJmeer with the rest of the waterways.

If you have any suggestions feel free to comment them.
I havent tested the map too much so I would like to hear if there are any industries that either feel useless or unrealistic then let me know.
