This is my first attempt at a CJ, so be nice.

This is Harchester, a city in the South of England, near the coast.

Teaser Pic of Wandsworth's mini CBD.

A small part of the area around Highbury Stadium, even though I am a Man Utd Supporter, its still there. BTW. Arsenal i think was in a tie 2day with Everton.. or tottenham.. im not completely sure. 9.gif

Now what city is complete without a truly grand station, St. Pancras was built here, in replacement of a much older, more primitive station. It has served as a hub for South Brixton for years, and therefore had the CBD develop around it.

It certainly has potential. 4.gif Towers by houses looks a bit odd, but it's still aesthetically pleasing. More pics! 3.gif

    I see you edited your first post- The neighborhoods of rowhomes are fantastic. 2.gif

    As for your second update, even better! Perhaps St. Pauls can have some parks surrounding it rather than rowhomes? Just a suggestion. As for the rest, very detailed and well laid out. 4.gif

    awesome looking cj. i really like all those homes and then the office towers around them give it a good feel. the only flaw i would say is that there's no cars on the roads. turn on the cars option and it'll be perfect. can't wait for more!

    Nice to a UK inspired CJ. 44.gif

    Nice use of the uk style houses, and good choice of stations. I know the highbury stadium looks good, but surely a man u fan wouldn't want that in his city. 2.gif

    I haven't tried it myself but there is a beta for old trafford

    Look forward to seeing more. 4.gif

    Hmmmm. Game play mechanics.  Balancing out density has always been a challenge for me in early stage game development.  Right now who needs parks when you have trees.  All of this makes look like an older residential district which it probably will be, if that's your intent.
