NationStates.net - Simtropolis Region

welcome to the region! look at one of simzebu's posts further up the page and look at our region map

choose a location (your choice whether or not you base your location on actual time zone or not, i didnt completely)

[simzebu 20]

Better yet, look at this one that has all of the claimed territories marked. [linkie]

[UnkleS27 24]

awesome, I see you figured out which nation was mine!

[Schnabo 0]

I could take that blue territory in the north between New Berrgundy and Simtropolia. Btw, why does that Canal Zone and Hollnersville belong to Ked.?

[simzebu 20]

1) Done.

2) Easy, "cartographer's privilege." I made the map, so I gave my main nation (Kedalfax) a few small territories. I designed the map to have two isthmuses, which could have canals built through them easily. I took one, and the other I will give away.

Speaking of which, who would like to own the northern canal area? I would prefer that a nation that does not boarder it gets it. It looks cooler that way, I think. But if you really want it, I'd be glad to give it to you.

hello

im extremely happy with my place on the map! is there anything i should do as sort of 'obligation' ? i would be happy to. i am currently developing a region, which 'might' turn into a CJ but i doesnt look like the map you mentioned at all. 

oh, interesting fact of my nation: i'm investing in my Navy, that is the main reason i chose that 
position. i like to be on peninsula's too

I think once people have been placed onto the map we can start adding road layouts in our nations and hook up with our neighbours. Ferry routes, motorways, railways etc. =D

[shasta 1]

I'll lay a claim on the northern canal zone if no one wants it. (Metropolitan Houston)

[roy_mustang 0]

i do want that zone, but i'll cede it to metro. houston in exange for some sort of tiny territory near metro. houston (or not, your choice) [simtropolia]

[simzebu 20]

I have you penciled in for a territory about 6x6 pixels=12x12km=3x3 large SC4 cities. The territory is right at the end of the river in Met. Houston. What do you want to call it?

@simzebu: orlando

thanks for that, my embassy zone will be there

6underground, how did you make such a nice map and currency? Good program or experience?

[shasta 1]

Is roy_mustang's enclave going to have whole control of the mouth of the river, or just one side of it?

[simzebu 20]

It's your choice.

[shasta 1]

If possible, I'd like to retain partial control of the river. I had a thought: could the mouth of the river be re-drawn as a diver delta? I haven't seen anything like that drawn on our region map yet. His territory could be one of the islands created by the delta (or on several islands, if necessary to attain the size suggested) and there would be plenty of river access to share.

[6underground 11]

Schnabo: The map was a bt of both actually =D A good friend of mine designed the currency a while ago.

[simzebu 20]

Here it is: (attached to post)

I also re-routed the river to give it more length, so that it's more realistic for there to be a large enough delta for it to show up on the map.

You got any tips on how to do a currency? Is it ok to start with a real currency and then edit that?

EDIT: Forgot ask this, Simzembu, how do I join IET?

[roy_mustang 0]

that's actually a pretty interesting location to have!

i might have to try a region like that, it'll be quite interesting

but then i'll have to make a CJ on simtropolia (or not, i have no idea at this point)

if it's not too much trouble, though, i'd prefer to have at least a small part of the mainland, having solely island territory there worries me

see: mississippi river delta after hurricane katrina

[shasta 1]

I could probably stand to part with a small portion of the mainland on the western edge of the delta. Will that work?

Besides, I'm not so sure that sea would even be capable of creating such a storm.

See: Mediterranean Sea (this sea has a lot of the same characteristics)

simezbu: It looks great! It's now our region's version of the Mississippi River!

[simzebu 20]

shasta: That's what I was going for. I'm glad it came out right.

Schnabo: Put your name in the list on NSwiki. Just follow the format of everyone else's entries.

roy_mustang: Shasta is right about the storms. It won't make anything too big, not to mention that a storm can only happen if you make it happen in this game. And the areas to either side of the delta wouldn't be very high above sea level.

Anyway, I put you in for some shoreside territory. It's a little square on the west bank. (It doesn't want to upload right now)

[Simfan34 11]

Can you make New Burgundy An island chain, like this?

[simzebu 20]

Simfan34 : I would be glad to, but it's going to probably take me a bit, so it'll have to wait until I get back from Syracuse tomorrow. Also, do you have a general scale in mind? Or, even better, could you bring it to the right scale (1 pixel:2km) and in a single color? (Either one would make it a lot easier for me)

EDIT: I have it ready to put it on the map, but I need to know the scale.

[roy_mustang 0]

meh, true, but im one of those people who likes to spawn disasters in their region once in a while (for the challenge), but i dont want my little territory to be completely destroyed because im in a bad mood

[woodb3kmaster 342]

First, simzebu, thanks for all your work with this region! You're really dedicated to improving our experience of it, and I'm glad. With that said, once you have time, would you mind moving the timezone line that runs through Automastan to the path of the yellow line I've added in the attached image? That would be great.

Keep up the great work!

[simzebu 20]

Here it is:

Simfan34: I guestimated the proper size for your islands. I hope it's good.

Welcome! Do you want a spot on the map?

[sc4portugal 10]

Yes, Please
