Ok this region is for now at least largely rural with only one major city Delton with a pop over 100,000 and nearing 200,000.  I used to design regions with much more highways but for fun I decided to go with fewer but to include an extensive monrail network, trying to get eco-friendly the main idea was to design a transportation system that provides seemlesss transition between monrail, bus, subway and pedestrian traffic.  Enjoy this picture tour.  Most of all for the future i hope to fill in the cities to give the region a much better appearence, suggestions welcome.

this is the area developed so far, small but diverse. much of the area devoted to agriculture with a strong tourist business in Breawater.  blackstone shores, Peters Point, Langsford and Benton are suburbs but still have ag.  delton is the major metro area, yes it appears to jump strangly from the region but as the surroundings are developed it should look better.

ok quick tour of the land. these first two pics are of rural sheraton, on the far left in the region.  I think these turned out nice, notice the monorail begining at the carport, this eventually deeds through the region all the wat down to Delton

[frogface 354]

[Superchan 23]

[____----____ 37]

are the roads real ? of course i don't understand the question the terrain has been eroded leaving it very bumpy-gives the roads that look.

[sloppet 3]

nice CJ!! i really like it..great job!

[____----____ 37]

The major city of Delton is expanding south  into the ritzy suburb or Port Delton

 

 

some nice closeups

 

 

the main port only connected to town via avenue tunnel under golf course

 

 

a couple more of the golf course

 

 

check a closeup

 

 

finally some tight houses

 

 

more pics asap,

[____----____ 37]

a new industrial port  has sprung up along the bay in bewteen Delton and Brighton Point this is set to be the regions power center providing a huge base of $ and $$ industrial jobs for the regions rapidly urbanizing economy.

 

https://www.simtropolis.com/idealbb/files//ass.JPG align=baseline>

 

a little bit closer

 

https://www.simtropolis.com/idealbb/files//ass2.JPG align=baseline>

[your_adress_here 11]

Very nice! I like your ports!

[____----____ 37]

the region grows on......... over 300,000!! and it's still largely rural maybe.  Ok so here is the next major city Cape Drosky on the far right en of map.  This city developed rapidly in response to incredibly bright minds brought in to study at the cities excellent schools.  I'm sorry  no region view i'll post that later tonight.

 

this first one is a downtown overview this city is laid out with a small CBD on a coastal plain only acesible to the residential suburbs through rail and a highway that passes under the golf course and exites and the back of the city right by Grainger

 

https://www.simtropolis.com/idealbb/files//downtonwfar11.JPG align=baseline>

 

 

you can see a little of the highway behind the convention center entering a tunnel under the golf course, you can also see the stadium and research institute, it is hard to tell but the CBD and houses behind the golf course are set on a hill above the CBD.

 

ok i lied i have an old region view and gives you and idea, i had failed to develope the light reidential and golf course if it looks sparse.

 

https://www.simtropolis.com/idealbb/files//regionold.JPG align=baseline>

 

now some fun CBD closeups

 

https://www.simtropolis.com/idealbb/files//the%20city.JPG align=baseline>

 

i always have liked the trains

 

https://www.simtropolis.com/idealbb/files//city2.JPG align=baseline>

 

and at night

 

https://www.simtropolis.com/idealbb/files//railnightclose.JPG align=baseline>

 

enough trains how about some of the golf course

 

https://www.simtropolis.com/idealbb/files//golf%20skyline.JPG align=baseline>

 

and

 

https://www.simtropolis.com/idealbb/files//golfar2.JPG align=baseline>

 

finally

https://www.simtropolis.com/idealbb/files//golffar.JPG align=baseline>

 

here you can also see the main suburban rail vein that connects the outside region to downtown,right track and industrial port, left tracks.

 

now some of the industrial port and state of the art industrial waste refinement system

 

https://www.simtropolis.com/idealbb/files//dischargeclose.JPG align=baseline>

 

thought it looked cool i guess.

 

https://www.simtropolis.com/idealbb/files//indusdischarge.JPG align=baseline>

Great looking golf course AleKing!  I really like what you've done with your industrial areas as well.  Maybe we could see some of your rural communities?

[Rive85 1]
