Bently County - and beyond!

[madawac 48]

[voice of an old man on]Hum... Let's see where we are...
Ah yes, I recognise, it's Bently County! Somewhere in the middle of nowhere in the vast lands of the inner simnation. It always was a jewel of the industrial revolution and is still home of many dirty and heavy industries cause of huge coal and iron ore deposits in the eastern hills...


*cough* When I was a child, Delmenhorst was the capital of Bently County...

Hm, so many things have changed... But I still feel at home when I see the pictures of the old town of Delmenhorst...

The old trainstation... I worked there when it was opened a few years... It was exciting see the trains as more or less new inventions then arround 1920...

And what would've been a thin populated region without legendary lake monsters? People always tell about Big Joe and his Family... Yes, yes I saw him too.

[voice of an old man off]

Hm, so let's see what there's special about Delmenhorst today

Hm, do you really think this is a New Year Fireworks? Oh no, you're wrong, it's just the weekly fireworks of the XII Tower Hotel , one of the most excellent hotels arround here...
Or just take a look the Bently Beach and to the Snack Alley

If you'll visit Delmenhorst, don't forget about Paul Plaza - the financial center of the city that was build through more and more office demand of all the small companies.
But Delmenhorst does also have some shopping areas, just like Periphe Plaza north of the old town.

But let's get back from all the business and come to the ******-hotel Bently Cure Hotel to get some sleep...

-----------------------------------------------------------
So, some questions about the next episode:
What is that for a mystery city east of Delmenhorst?
Where does the old man come from so suddenly?

All the questions will be answered... But first, tell me what you think - the region is totally handmade.

[gundamdude 0]

Wow, this looks really great.  I'm gonna watch it...

[madawac 48]

Hey, come on guys, without more feedback, this CJ won't get so good

Anyway I will continue now


[voice of an old man on]
Hum, we'll know us, don't we? Yeah we saw us yesterday when I told you about Delmenhorst and Bently County... Hum, I'll continue telling you about Bently City a bit, whether yo don't want to hear *grinning* The youth today isn't that what it was years ago, so listen to an old man *cough*


So, hm, what I wanted to tell you about? Oh right, Bently City... Long long ago when I was young the new capital of Bently County was founded - Bently City. The old capitol - Delmenhorst - didn't meet the requirements of a capitol... So Bently City fast became the industrial and financial center of the region...

Long ago I was here. All that what's the present downtown was years ago the hole town. Hum, there's not much remain of that time... The cathedrale, some other churches, some houses, the central and elevated rail stations...

Someone told me, the Sun Boulevard is the beating heart of the city.
*cough* I don't know... It's not that what I've expected. I thought people would have more respect for the past cause where the Sun Boulevard is today, there were years ago beautiful mansions of the city's rich community...

Ah, something I can remember... It's the Bently Bank Corp Tower built arround 1930 here. I'll never forget the view you had over the city from the top of the building years ago...

Also the central station changed, it was once just a terminus, now rails go through it...

Hum, looks very old - this must be the last rowhouse quarter of the city that was build after founding the city...

Can I trust my eyes?! That's the old library! I can remember the opening of that wounderful building...

I can't remember that port. It can't be very old. And all the industry arround? I thought there was a forest... Hm, I've been too long too far away...
[voice of an old man off]
Hm, who is that old man? He's stealing my show
So, let's see, what he didn't already showed you but what's worth to.

The Underground Mall next to central station is always cooled and is cause of the heat all over the year always very full of people who needs some cooling down.

The latest trends and other things you'll get to know in the convention center, where always is a fair you can visit.

Away from the business - let's visit the city's parks!


Or let's have some fun at the GoKart Track. WTF? Why are there trees on the track?

-----------------------------------------------------------
Hm, there's still a question for the next episode:
Who is the old man who's stealin' my show, it makes me angry()

Feel free to comment/ give criticism.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

What he said.

[madawac 48]

Hm, my webspace provider seems to have some little problems, sorry about that! I think they'll work again in a few hours. If not, I'll upload them somewhere else.

Everything works

[nooneatall 6]

Looks like a great start! And, the old man isn't stealing the show; he is the show
It looks like you could maybe use the ground lightrail mod in a few places, instead of conventional rail -- it looks better.

All I can really say is this: keep up the good work, and don't get discouraged if you think that you have too little replies.

[AfroThunda 1]

Wow...  ... man... [insert whistling noise] I am impressed!!!

 

You have done such an amazing job! Your cities are so artistic and beautiful. Amazing work man! I really like how you have used so many different BATs and parks and everything else. The variety is just, amazing. Just simply awesome! I'll be back and i'll comment (in a coherent manor) again when I regain my breath...

[jacqulina 162]

[jasperdeman.nl 1]

Keep it up

[kingofsimcity 5,739]

Looks nice and realistic!

[marijntjo 0]

Great terrain you have there!!

Like your city, it really has its own style!

[madawac 48]

Hm, wow, so much nice feedback, I wouldn't have expected this So thanks everyone

@Pichu0 Hm, sorry, Bently City is full sold out, you'll even not get a small 1-room-flat

@petriknl I guess you mean the Statistische Bundesamt from Wiesbaden/Germany. I use it ase region administration office Download it here .

P.S.: I also would've continued, if noone would've answered, it was more or less a joke (what not means, you shouldn't post anything).

P.P.S.: Yeah, the old man is the show, but I won't tell more about him

P.P.P.S.: Cause I'm really amazed of all your nice comments, you'll get an exclusive pre-pre-pre-preview of the city I'm workin' on. So, it will still need 1-2 day, till I'm ready for an update, so be patient



But shhhhhht

[madawac 48]

And another pre-pre-preview

But I'm still not ready for an update for you

[madawac 48]

After some stress in the last weeks I finally found time to continue building... And now, here's the update for you
-------------------------------------------------------------

Menethil* and the 2 Mushroom Cities

[voice of an old man on]
Some time gone away since we saw us the last time... Let's go a bit east of Bently City, I'm curious what happened there...

*loosing the breath* Oh my god! This once was Bently Forest... Now it's just another city? I can't believe it! May we should look around a bit...

At least something I recognize! Behelia, so this small city was called and I hope it's still so, was always one of the centers of immigrants from SimEurope... espacially from the Netherlands and from Germany. They brought much culture with them, in this small city you can find more museums than in hole Bently City! But we shall go on...

This is the Bently Lake. I used to go swim here when I was young... It was always quiet here, now it's just as busy and full with tourists as Delmenhorst or Bently City.

This block of houses looks old... But I can only remember the tramline, that once headed to Bently City Center... Oh no, not that... I have to go now, but we'll see us again, I promise.[voice of an old man off]

Hmrpf, this old man was here again, am I right?.. Hm okay, let's see the actual topic, Menethil and the Mushroom Cities

One of the Mushroom Cities. You may wonder, why they're called this way? You have to know, that Bently County had (and still has) space problems for all the imigrants that came here. In the 1960s these buildings made with precast concrete slabs sprouted here like mushrooms.
So the actual name of that city is Auberdine*. This city is espacially known for the sportpark north of it.


The other Mushroom City is Dolanaar*.

But there's not much more special about


So this is Menethil*. This city was founded after Bently City become capital of the region. Since then it grew fast and has more inhabitants than Bently City. But still you say Menethil* is in the agglomeration oh Bently City and not the other way round
Both cities always competed and Menethil* always lost the fight for the most important industrial and financial center of Bently County. So people from Bently City and from Menethil* still hate each other a bit - espacially the people from Menethil* the people from Bently City...

But Menethil* has something, that Bently City doesn't have: A TV Tower! So there's nothing special about but the TV Tower of Menethil* is also very popular with the people from Bently City
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So, feel free to comment/give criticism as usual.

*Yes, I'm playing World of Warcraft

[sloppet 3]

great CJJ.. nice update! keep up the good work!!

[madawac 48]

That's not an update, but I'm close to one, Menethil is near completition

So, today I thought about, how to continue bulding on the region... So I finally came to the conclusion, that I'll build another metropolis on the map BUT you shall decide, were on the map!

I select the 2 sections, one thime north(1) and one time south(2) for you to choose.

THE POLL WILL END ON FRIDAY, 3 PM EST, SO TELL ME, IF AT SECTION 1 OR AT SECTION 2 A NEW METROPOLIS SHOULD BE BUILD!
So thanx for every vote

[jacqulina 162]

i say south and great pics

[homer2 3]

I would see the metroplis at the sea => 2


warum zeigst du diese Journal nicht auch auf insims.de?

[Simguyuk 0]

I agree with the rest, 2. It's amazing how interactive CJ's are becoming now! Great CJ, but in you're first update you say that rains were new in 1920? They would have been around for about 100 years! But it's still a great CJ.

[madawac 48]

Looks like you guys like coastal cities
But we'll see, it's still much time to vote

to Simguyuk
I meant, that the rails/trains came there at that time

to Homer
Hm, weiss net, irgendwie keine Lust, au

[Sticksboi04 0]

Excellent CJ. Like train network and stadium.

[your_adress_here 11]

Wow, this looks amazing! I can't wait to see more!

[madawac 48]

Thanks for the comments, but please, don't forget to vote!
You'll decide, where the third metropolis shall be build and just 3 votes is, I think, not enough

[kingofsimcity 5,739]

Sprawl is awesome! Great work!

[PhatHead 247]

Love all the Pics   great story  keep up the great job.

[Simworld 056132 1]
