Hello everyone, welcome to my first full CJ.  I am working on a new area called Manchester, MA.

Essentially, Manchester is a recreation of one of the greatest cities in the world: New York City.   However, it has a different name, different terrain, different districts, a different world, just everything different.

So I started out by working in the SC4 Terraformer.   I made some hills, rivers, and all the such I needed.  We'll start off with a pic of the region and its surrounding districts:

pic01sc4terrabordersoi6.jpg

Legend:

Red lines=District Lines.

Blue Lines+ County Lines.

Sorry about the quality, I only have MS Paint.  But so, you got the map of the area and what the terrain is like.  I have terraformed a few harbours, so it will be easiier later on.

Well, that's all I got for now, I'm gonna be heading over to the Night Market in Richmond.  Expect the next upadte by next Friday or earlier.

Comments and suggestions are welcome.  I still have a little time to change the terrain, and also tomorrow.

Should be interesting. BTW, might I suggest gettng the GIMP? It's pretty much the best free image program out there (and far better than paint, I assure you. 9.gif

You can get it at: http://www.gimp.org/downloads/

Hello there. I have just joined this community. One of the reasons I have joined was to participate in the journells, which I think is awsome. This is the first that was listed in the list so I started here. Nice pic! You said that you used SC4 Tarraformer? What is that? Is it an update to the game or and addon? It looks neat.

    Everyone: Thanks fior the comments, I might update the terrain a little more, then I will go in-game and do business.

    Big_Gun: Welcome to Simtrop, bud!  The SC4 Terraformer allows you to terraform whole regions.  It can be found in the Modding Files Section.

    Okay, it's time for the first update.

    "First update, whoo!!!"

    Nope, not yet, but a preview pic of something I did in the GIMP:

    update01pic01lq3.jpg

    Does it look nice?  Simulates a pic during a storm.  And also, there are the seven other images to work on.

    Update 1: A Little Bit of Downtown

    And here's the first update, the one you've been waiting for.

    These pictures were taken during an intense thunderstorm around 9:00 to 11:45---so expect booms.  BOOM!!!

    We start with a view of the Marriott Inn and the area:

    update01pic01td9.jpg

    Then we have a picture of some high wealth areas on HIckory Street:

    pic02np1.jpg

    And here's the next pic, of Lexington Avenue:

    pic03fs7.jpg

    Then we got 14th Street and a building under construction:pic04rd2.jpg

    They're not gonna construct anything in this rain.

    And here's a view near the Sparrington Tower and N-101:

    pic05gx5.jpg

    KA-BOOM!!!

    Now the rain is getting stronger, the view is getting blurry:

    pic07ex4.jpg

    And here's another view near Lexington Avenue:

    pic08ms8.jpg

    KA-BOOM!!!

    And for a final view, here's a Seaport along the Hudson River:

    pic06iq3.jpg

    KA-BOOM!!!

    That concludes the first update.  Comments and suggestions are welcome.

    Enjoy!!!

    KA-BOOM!!!
