Like wilbz, I enjoyed playing it because it’s my local area. My only criticism is that it seems a bit cramped at the bottom and right, where there’s lots of resources and important towns. It would be great to lose some of the towns along the top and left to give more space here. Also cornmeal and grain were listed as resources but there weren’t any. Also, it would have been nice to be able to buils a hat factory in Stockport! However, these are small points on a great map that must have taken a lot of work. Well done Mike!

It must have taken you ages to make (recently tried making one similar got as far as the [rubbish in comparison] coastline and Pennines and then got bored and subsequently found this map) and the attention to detail is spectacular. I’m from Southport and so particularly enjoyed collecting the subsidy for delivering fish, buying the cannery and making a mint selling shrimp to the pieheads (those Wiganites always did love their shrimp hehe)> Thanks again for making this map Mike Kennely you’re a genius!!! x

The range consists of a series of upland blocks, separated by transverse valleys (Tees, Aire, Wensleydale, and Wharfdale). There are caverns, and several chasms are more than 300 ft (91 m) in depth. Cross Fell (2,930 ft/893 m) is the highest peak. The range is sparsely populated. Sheep raising, quarrying, and tourism are important economic activities. Reservoirs in the Pennines store water for the cities of N England.
