A couple of ex-Soviet towns have Ferris wheels, I felt a town as large as Sebya deserved one too

Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk-

Pripyat-

And there could definitely be others

Pripat-

[Giligone 10]

Haha, pripyat is awesome. Theres a sweet mission there in call of duty 4.

[justintime 8]

Well there be any new updates?

[KingTitan 6]

Great updates El Burro. I like the region legend you did. Great Work friend.

[suomi2005 52]

That city looks very realistic.

[BurroDiablo 222]

Thanks guys

Justintime- Yes, there will be. Taking so long because i've been rebuilding Khabarovsk to encorporate some new IPON embasssie and to make it look less East German and more Russian.

There should be an update on that soonish, real life permitting. I've been making unique lots/re-lotting stuff wich has been taking up alot of my 'building' time as well.

Congratulations for you double-trixie! Good job, then show us some more of the awarded Sakhaliya!

[BurroDiablo 222]

Yeah, I got the double barrel! I honestly expected you to win something too after all that effort

Chaotic City though? Cjah's 'Destruction' surely... Sakhaliyan Chaos is still yet to come

I'm gonna update soon, before next Thursday (I have a job interview on that day, I don't want to start work and have no time to update this )

[jj88 24]

[Giligone 10]

Ahh, You've finally got some trixies. Its about time I say! Great job. Looking forward to more of your award winning work!

Edit: Haha, I just realized the first quote in your "best grimy CJ" trixie award is what I said when I nominated you for that.

[panthersimcity4 162]

OMG, congrats!!!

[purpledaddy 6]

Well I kept telling myself that I was going to visit your journal after seeing your entry in the Life in the City contest. Great job on both!!! and Congratulations!!!

You know that ferris wheel reminds me of a cover on Time magazine, oh about 20-25 years ago, with a functional ferris wheel and amusement amidst a war torn Beirut, Lebanon.

[LarksTonguesInAspic 28]

Congrats on the well-deserved Trixie!

[KingTitan 6]

Looks great, awesome updates....but vreading the first post....russian accents dont make it more authentic. but....nontheless. interesting

[suplado! 23]

congrats on your trixie....this CJ is really awesome!

[mayor of the manor 0]

Dobry Den! (wow same as Polish and Czech!) Fantastic update as always! Has that typically Soviet, heavy industry charm.

Edit: Congrats on Trixie too! I've not looked at this CJ for agggges... it deserves more attention!

[Yoman3 5]

Ah, the Pripyat ferris wheel, have had many a good times there in two different games. (Its very interesting to see an area or building (namely the Pripyat main center building (forget the name) and swimming pool recreated in two different games. Its different, yet the same, you feel you've been there before but ye haven't). Of course it was alot more messed up in STALKER, damn anomalies at the base of the wheel. God I love taht game.

There is a distinct lake of communist oppression on ST as of late. I think we need an update here to resolve this issue.

Indeed

[connor_v 3]

Your last update was great. The ferris wheels in small Russian towns is really interesting.

Congratulations on your Trixies. You really did deserve some awards for this CJ, you've done some pretty great things with the limitations of the game (and a bit of photoshop after the fact).

Congratulations, I'm looking forward to your next update.

[Shanna 1]

Congratulations on your Trixies! I look forward for your next update!

I'm still here aren't I? There should be plenty of oppression... I have that 'oppressive' Aura...

Anywho, I decided that iv'e procrastinated long enough, the crashes have been annoying me as of late (as usual), so i've been batting instead... I got one LARGE bat out of the way and promptly replaced it with another, and hopefully i'll have that finished for our next update

So far, SC4 wise, i've been rebuilding 'Khabarovsk' (the Capital, if you didn't know already) since it wasn't up to my new standards in Commie-Hive building... I've destroyed/rebuilt half of it... I have another half to go... but that should be done quite soon since a large chunk of it i'm quite happy with, and the rest is just going to be wasteland/shanty town. 

---

This update isn't gonna be narrated since it doesn't really play any part in the storyline, its just me being a perfectionist.

First of all, guess I should outline the operation-

This is the first half, unfortunately, a Kermlin Expansion wasn't viable since there wasn't enough room, so I decided to completely remake it all... keeping nothing apart from part of the road layout. To the left is the IPON Summit Compound and to the right is the Politburo Congress Hall. The Summit compound is very high security, every tower contains a hawk-eyed Sniper and to each side is a Parade ground, usually manned by a few 100 Utopian Guards putting on a show for an visiting Delegates. The Politburo lacks this kind of security since its a free public building open to pretty much everyone, although, there is still a Military presence inside. The Memorial infront of the Politburo is called the 'Padenyi Pamyetnik Camrada', wich (don't hesitate to correct me anybody who knows Russian) means 'Monument to Fallen Comrades'.

Heres the overview of the new area, I replaced mostly all the Garibaldi Arms (sorry Frogface ) with original Maxis, Asian looking Apartments... since Sakhaliya and Khabarovsk in perticular is near China (the real Khabarovsk is only 30km from China) so iv'e been looking at a few Chinese cities too.

You'll also notice the tall building in a compount to the left of the Politburo... thats the Revenue Office, its basically a moved, better looking version of the building I had put in the Starygorod beforehand if you remember this old Picture-

Actually, look how much this area has changed... i've come to relise that crowed cities don't look good in the slightest. Make use of empty space! My graphics Tutor used to tell me that alll the time, lol.

Before-

After-

You may also notice the large building to the right and the building under construction... well, the building to the left is the Neo-Stalinist hotel<

[suplado! 23]

cool pics...and really nice city!! i like the added effect on the pics as well!!

[artoxb 0]
