Vandals Fjella

[Glenni 1,444]

Well first off the name means Vandal mountains( charming eh?) in norwegian.

So here's the city itself, it still  not quite fully built up and the eastern area of it is rather unbuilt(NB! i will not make sprawling cities,really not my thing)

Here's some of the city centre, and as you can see a whole block of buildings have been leveled just to build an embankment  EL-Rail.....stupid 60's city planning...

And here are the tallest buildings in the city centre, i will not really change the downtown so  much,what i will mostly focus on are newer districts,ghettos mostly

Some of the old areas at the St. Hallvardson Cathedral

The cathedral itself , it was built 1256 ,it was planned demolished in the 70's but luckily cathedral entusiasts saved it,they planned to replace it with a 5 floor parking garage

Outside the national hospital

yep....the lovely outer area of the city centre... full of towerblocks, Low wealth housing estates and  what not....so lovely!

And it is even more lovely at night!Yey!

One of the most "lovely" council estates in the city....looks so nice to live at...

so yeah,this is what is mostly built there...housing  estates...

Some older council estates from early 1900's in the neighbour city , Stralsberg which has grown together with Vandals Fjella today, the citydump for both of the city is in Stralsberg

the city landfill is   arround 2 kilometres northfrom the housing estates , that is why there is a sudden stop of development right outside the city centre of Stralsberg

The local football stadium of Stralsberg is rather old and outdated ,it was built in the 1940's , and now it is getting rather intimate,there is a planned stadium at the other side of the city

And also Stralsberg also have a few highrises,there havent been built any new highrises since the 1970's though....

Well,thats all i have for now!

First to reply, bet you are not suprised

Looks good so far! I especially like the mix of modern and old buildings and this *special* W2W-style.

Keep it up!

Great job, Glenni the downtown area looks pretty much european imo. Keep it up!

[Mulefisk 15]

Great start! Been waiting for this

But where did you get those garage lots you're using in the 9th pic?

[Glenni 1,444]

Hey people,nice to see people like my cj!

Aleking:Heh, i have actually used quite a few Maxis buildings,they fit in at some areas

Mulefiksk: Got 'em on stex search for "garyreggae"

[Odd from Sweden 129]

A very nice start Glenni, You make very nice W2W and EuroSub areas!!

[eggie99 6]

Great city, great start!

[frogface 352]

This looks top hat, very realistic with w2w and skyscrapers in the city centre and tower blocks and flats in the suburb!

[ExiL3 10]

Cool stuff Glenn... I know you like the socialist style apartment areas (as do I), i think you have recaptured the feel to it well.. looks very cool!

take care,

[alicelli 1]

wow looking good, i love the way you havent tried to make it a massive metropolis or anything! so realistic, great work, look forward to seeing an update!

[emilin 2]

It looks very scandinavian. The mix of old and new buildings makes for a very realistic feeling. I like it.

[BlondeTwiggy 43]

didnt know you started a cj lol, it looks great.... love the cathedral ! 

[hamsterTK 93]

cool. Thats an interesting city

[RushHourFreak 1]

wonderfull region and pics, like the cathedral so much. that overview is fantastic, keep it up

[Diamond Dave66 1]

lovely City Glenni boy

[Yoman3 5]

Looks like an eastern block country. I think thats just the look you want though! I like the city center alot and the ped. overpass pn the road between the 2 buildings adds alot to that pic. I know you like plaza's so that church area is bound to be nice. Also cant wait for more ghetto suburbs!

[Glenni 1,444]

hey again people, here's a small update...

hmm...lets start with a nighttime pic of the primarily 60's style dominated area ,Steinlia shall we?

Well what do ya know....we're back in Stralsberg again,this time outside the central church in the city,built in 1342

Hmmm..lets go back to downtown Vandals fjella to buy a kebab or something on the way i'll show you some more of i

And as you can see some of the businesses are abandoned,some of the areas have been stagnating in the city centre lately,thus making the companies scared and moving to other parts of the city.especialy the area arround the embankment rail is getting worse through the years...

Aaand at the edge of the downtown,we have Mehelia, and as you can see the Mehelia tower stand here,it is tallest tower in Vandals Fjella, at it's 32 floors.

And as an end to this update

a litle unreleased bat i havent released yet, and dont even bother asking! as i wont release Nah just kiddding

[jacqulina 162]

wow thats so beautifull i love your building style,awesome work and detail,fantastic pics

[MarcosMX 222]

What a great CJ, Glenni. I love it.

[____----____ 37]

that BAT just blends in perfectly to your city

question i see that u are using props circular building and

have tried to use the overhanging corner pieces as well

I also have tried those and find they only look right from like

1 or 2 angles and from the other way they have these lines throught

them u know of anyway to fix that cause it is a great idea?

anyways the angles and BATs are all great, AK

[Makollig Jezfahted 0]

hella cool I liked it well done

[yoder7652 21]

looking good...you've got a great start, I love the mish mash look of your city...a little bit of everything thrown together.

[sloppet 3]

Well Glenni... This is kinda weird you know... just because thos pictures are totally outstanding... It looks like a real city you know... And that cathedral which was built in 1256 is wonderful. Some people say "crap". I don't agree with them.. I say "Crap". And it is.. it truly is...

So, be sure this CJ doesn't die so fast, and yes, a Regional Picture would be a great addition for the next update.

Regards,

sloppet

[Glenni 1,444]

[RushHourFreak 1]
