The Headwaters of Nemonos

[Shadow Assassin 336]

Make it a mall or something. I suggest you look on the SC4DLEX and download the LBT Plaza Mall.

One year ago today, I posted my first update to my first CJ, The Headwaters of Nemonos. I've learned alot over that year and my CJ's quality has vastly improved. Thanks to all the people who have supported my CJ and to all the BATers out there making amazing stuff. Truly I'd have never gotten this far without you.

A special shout out to those of you who have been there from day 1:

Jacquilina: Always an encourager, thanks so much.

Schulmanator You crazy cat obsessed half klingon history buff. Thanks for sticking around.

IDS2 Nemonos is going to take over Minneapolis one of these days, just you watch.

and GreekMan Your over the top antics keep things interesting, thanks for your support!

Ok, enough of this sentimental stuff, lets get down to business!

I've put together a special update reflecting on how things have changed in Nemonos since those early days. My oh my, times have changed.

First on deck is the region shot. I didn't have region census in those days so the pics are... well, not good, haha. Stupid clouds.

Now:

Now, lets revisit downtown Nemonos. So much has happened here that is hard to believe these pics are of the same place. Seriously, I wouldn't know if not for the Nemonos Financial Building in the centre, haha.

Then:

Now:

Here's another angle

Then:

Now:

Wow, one can hardly even recognize it, haha. And that maxis water, **shudders** so bad...

Now to Midtown (i.e. Maple Heights)

Then:

Now:

Alot less has happened there... but still, significant changes.

Back to downtown.

WHAT ANTICS!!! sorry for the yells

WOW awesome update! I have given me Ideas for when my Cj is one year old

Downtown sugestion: Download the Tomson Tower from the STEX. that residential building will improve the skyline!

EDIT: one more thing the the last pic is soooo cool. put the names of the areas in downtown like chinatown, midtown etc..... Lastly put another stadium downtown!  It wil improve the area!

all of this will benift your CJ. It's one CJer to another CJer.....

[ilikehotdogsalot 311]

you know, when you were showing all those downtown updates, i always went back to the first pages to compare how the downtown has changed, and it is indeed very drastic! it looks very excellent now the update was super, lots of mosaics, charts and great stuff, very nice work giligone and happy birthday nemonos

[IDS2 3,429]

WOWOWOWOWOW!!!

Happy birthday!

Do you know why I've followed this journal? First impressions. I was looking around just trying to give comments and saw this one. I didn't think much of it until I saw the building and the ugly tenement next to it and I wanted to stay. You inspire me to create another journal...ooh boy after all I've been through.

Your journal is popular because you are a careful planner and know what you're doing. I don't Case in point. I must say keep up the good work.

[suplado! 23]

cool..nice anniv update!really like how you present the before and after pics..the changes can be seen to the region....

[autoVino 26]

Alot has changed!  Awesome anniversary update!

[Benedict 3,119]

Great update, thanks for continuing with this CJ all year - I've really enjoyed watching it grow. That transit map is outstanding.

[Skram 4]

Nice work it looks great!shame its over now!

[Giligone 10]

GreekMan Haha, your caps antics. Thanks . I actually already have that tower d/led... I think I have like every NDEX building, haha. Mmmm, a downtown stadium eh... I was actually thinking of doing something like that.... I'll look into it more later. Good idea though.

Schulmanator Haha, I want that button... would save me alot of photoshopping!

dralin321 Thanks. haha **claps to your dance

Shadow_Assassin Thanks. Yea.... That city takes the garbage from like 1/2 my region. I dont find the garbage system very realistic. But I dunno why there needs to be so many... even with them all the landfill is still filling up fast.

ccecill Thanks, haha. Thats a good long ways off yet.

penguin007 Thanks.

ilikehotdogsalot Haha, thats cool. Thanks for sticking around

IDS2 Thanks. I'm glad I inspired you. I am an actual urban planner so I guess that shows through in my work.

suplado! Thanks.

autoVino Indeed, there has been much progress. Thanks. Haha, theres an office building near  here that has the exact same building footprint as your avatar... freaky.

Benedict Thanks, yay, someone appreciated my labours on the traffic map.

Skram Thanks, its not over... Don't leave... come back!! **dramatic music rises**

[IDS2 3,429]

That explains why this region is so realistic! See, look at my transportation map. Do you think that would survive in the never-to-be-engulfed-by-Nemonos downtown of Minneapolis?

[Mikeaut1 261]

Great midrise areas, very nice work with your downtown as well!! Loving your sprawling region!

[football_fever 6]

Man, I haven't been here is so long. Sorry for not being here more often. Congrats on a year. Way too many city journalists punk out after a short time. Schulmanator's CJ turned 1 a little bit ago, yours is 1 now, mine is in a week or so...*sigh* we're all growing old so fast...

[Godzillaman 21]

Wow. You have come a very long way! Looks realistic and amazing! The original downtown looks pretty crappy lol

That red and beige coloured building, It looks great, where can I get it?

[tohokingdom 0]

That is completely the most amazing thing I've ever seen.

I think I've been lurking on your CJ for a while.

I just want to say, this CJ is amazing.

AMAZING.

[KingTitan 6]

Happy Birthday great stuff...great pics...great seeing stats of your CJ.

[Giligone 10]

Ok, I'm at my parents this weekend on their computer and its really slow and crashy. I guess thats what you get with a mere 128mb of ram. Thus I will be brief as this has already crashed once while I'm trying to post this.

IDS2 Haha, you just keep telling yourself that, Nemonos is coming.

Mikeaut1 Thanks.

football_fever Thanks, Indeed it has been a long time. Congrats on your CJ also reaching 1.

Godzillaman Thanks, indeed, it was not good to say the least, haha. That building is the Bancorp Place/building. I got it off the Simcity Exchange.

tohokingdom Thanks, glad you came out of the shadows.

KingTitan Thanks.

[Skram 4]

lol i thought it was over...i guess then i'll have to come back!

Is that the official site because I cannot get anything from there...Can you send the files with the PM or something?

[KingTitan 6]

Great recent update friend. Missed it. Great Pics. they look beautiful. That transportation map looks WILD! LOL Great stuff.

[jacqulina 162]

thankyou my friend,wow has it been a year allready that sure flew by quick.and in that year your cj has grown so well with the awesome work you have done.it all looks amazing as do the pics.

[Giligone 10]

Hey everyone. Sorry for the lack of updates. I've been quite busy with work and such. Also the city I was working on corrupted and I had to kill it. Fortunately I had a backup of the blank city tile. Anyway, so, nothing major was lost in the end as it was a mostly undeveloped tile.

Skram Haha, ok. Good, you come back now.

Godzillaman I don't think I have the files anymore. Don't ask how it works... too complicated. Sorry though.

KingTitan Thanks. Haha, yea... the roads don't really adhere to any system of organization...

jacqulina Haha, no prob, and thank you.

Hoping to get some more sc4 time in tomorrow, possibly even an update. Until then. I was building some more sprawl and decided to do a teaser. Enjoy.

P.S. I can't update until its on the next page... so post lots!
