Hmmm...industry...lots of parks...residential across the water...looks like sims will be itching to move in there. Can't wait to see the finished product!

[Darmok 34]

Hey S_A

Great looking shipyard - industrial area. Also very good idea to integrate park zones near the indistries. It'll do a good buffer zone before the commercial or residential!

Keep it up man!

EDIT : WOOT.... page 8

[gurrgkud 2]

wow man! that is such an amazing sea wall! i love Caladan town!  Cant wait to see your new plan in action!

 

ps. poor fishies

[Shadow Assassin 336]

sloppet: Thanks

sharkbait16: What animations? Glad you like it, though

wks2003x: Let's hope that happens.

Darmok: Hmm, I never really thought of it that way. I'll keep that idea for later.

gurrgkud: Well, you'll see the plan being fulfilled in the next update...

For the sake of organisation, I've just split the update into two - both parts were posted within a few hours of each other.

Now, does anybody want another teaser on the construction of the city?


Ah, as you can see, the park's been built... and most, but not all, of the spaces have been filled with trees and retaining walls.


You can see just a tiny bit of what I've been up to on the North Bank. Obviously, you can see the park looking better there, with the statue of Liberty standing majestically there. These two bridges cross over to the residental area.


Every city has its experiments. Nuclear power is being tried out as a viable alternative to natural gas, even though supplies won't run out for another million years. It is built using 3-ply reinforced concrete, which can withstand up to 1000 times normal pressure before breaking apart. This is more than enough to withstand meltdowns, keeping it within the confines. It is also well protected in the event of a train crash.

So, that's a bit more progress, no?

I'd post the next update along with this, but remember the comments.

*tumbleweed rolls by*

As Dynasty grew, the need for a proper air force base soon was risen by the General of the Armed Forces. Only just recently, the base was finally constructed. This base was to be built north of Anacongua, approximately 5km north of Titticaca. This area was one of the few perfectly flat areas in Dynasty...

It is believed there is a secret lab down below the Command Centre, working on new forms of propulsion. The latest news is that the current form being research is propulsion by bad news, which somehow tells physics to go and drown itself in a lake. However, the scientists are working on the rather unfortunate side effect of bad news - they're never usually welcome in their destinations, unless the people are all masochists.


Keeping the designations clean and simple, the runways have been named A and B. Runway A has the larger cargo planes, the army planes etc. Runway B deals with the really small planes like private jets. The army has an arrangement with private plane owners, if they pay a fee, they're allowed to use the airforce base, with appropiate security passes. However, they have to sign a Secrecy Clause, which prevents them from telling anybody anything about what is going on at the base.


Read the sign. Well, here's the entry, complete with machine-gun-toting guard asking for security passes.


The source of all power, in a literal sense. 10 wind generators provide power to everything.


Tarmac. Tarmac. Who likes tarmac? Any passenger sick after a particularly bad flight will happily kiss this tarmac. For this purpose, there is a pedestal with a slab of tarmac on it for people to kiss. Just like worshipping terra firma.


The occasional jumbo jet lands here, often to refuel.


The brains behind it all. The command centre.


The satellite radar dish. This scans for any bogeys in close proximity - that is, enemy jets red-flagged by recon craft.


While the notice is rather informative, it still doesn't stop people from smoking near the fuel tanks (Smoking within 100ft of fuel tanks is illegal in Dynasty)


The transmission tower. Ideal for jamming signals on the normal electromagnetic bands. But it's no problem for Dynasty armed forces since they mainly use high-level frequencies to communicate with each other. [using X-rays would just be plain stupid]


And the overview of it all.

And as always, comment!

Very nice update SA. I love the look of the airport, and especially the little captions. I really like that you edited the lot for the dish, looks 1000x better.

[barnatom 0]

I like your air base. The layout of the runways looks very realistic. And the security fence too. I also like the rail tunnel under the runway. But if this rail line is a public one, it would never be aloud to run through the base!
Those little fuel tanks add much to the realism. I like them, I never saw them before.

Good luck for future development.

[amal81 3]

I like the Air Base, it is as good as the the airport 'mayortim' has; if not better.  the sings on the fuel tanks lol i also like the big satellite dish antenna.

 

[jacqulina 162]

love your air base and your pics are amazing,i hope you like my work

[1234 0]

oops wrong thread, but great cj shadow.

[dhoppeii 12]

SA, great stuff.  I really liked all the little just below the surface things you used in the update.  The little notes in the pics, loved the Where am I locater....My favorite little note was the Do Not Smoke one.....or risk being burned to a crisp.  Great pics, great update and thanks for the smile this morning.

[Darmok 34]

Hey S_A
Good one!
And I agree with dhoppe about the humor lines, but my favorite one is the kissing tarmac slab... kinky!

[wks2003x 0]

Wow. Very beautiful air force base....and an interesting interchange too! I love it! Awesome continuation of a very good preview.

[Traffic_Jam 0]

Such beautiful work you've done on this update!

[Deathtoall 28]

i agree with D, do not smoke, haha,sarcaism at it's greatest!

[sloppet 3]

great work! did you mean this sign??

align=baseline>

 

[sharkbait16 0]

Wow, sweet airport, simple but effective.  And using that Korean Aircenter as the Command Center was a great fit.

[gurrgkud 2]

wow very nice double update. i liked that new industrial area... and the air force base looks amazing

[Shadow Assassin 336]

DA: Yeah, it does, doesn't it? Well, thanks for the comments.

barnatom: Hmm, they came with the Airport Pack. The railway line's military-owned.

amal81: Haven't seen his airport...

jacqulina: thanks, and I'm looking forward to the stuff that you'll be cooking up. Go on, start a CJ, even if it won't be updated often...

1234: Heh. thanks

dhop: Glad to bring a smile to your day.

Darmok: Never really thought of it as kinky.

wks2003x, traffic_jam: Thanks.

Deathtoall: Heh. Glad you like it.

sloppet: Ah, I get you. That pic Photoshopped? Yeah, that's probably what I meant by the sign.

sharkbait16: Thanks, yeah, it's simple, after all: it's an air force base.

gurrgkud: What double update? Well, glad you liked it.

And that was a lot of replies to reply to... so to bring on the next HUGE update.


WARNING: 26 IMAGES


Anacongua is located north of Titticaca. It could be considered an industrial powerhouse, if it weren't for all those empty lots... Anyways, the north bank of Anacongua is (mostly) leased by Wellington until the treaty ends. There are two town centres, both on the North and South sides of the Titticaca River. Anacongua has a total population of approximately 23,000 - only a small town, though, but it has boosted Titticaca's metro population to around 120,000 sims.


As usual, the overview.


The South Bank's Town Centre.



Suburbs in the South Bank.


The UHU Tower, located in Anacongua's North Bank. This building is the tallest in town. For those who don't know, it's UHU and Co, a German owned company that makes glue.


Night shot of the town centre.


Anacongua's main shopping centre - Anacongua Plaza. Conveniently located on the South Bank, along Anacongua Boulevarde, it has 60 speciality stores and four major shopping chains.


Liberty Park, and Liberty Radio 91.1 across the street from the statue. This statue was believed to have been copied from another statue on far-off Earth, and imported here piece by piece.


Harland Shipyards, Anacongua. The main producers of Dynasty's fleet, however, due to the geographical location, the owners are looking into building a larger shipyard down south.


The famous North Bank, the richest area in all of Anacongua, and the largest estates in Dynasty.


The statue of Napoleon was erected as a monument to an age long gone past.




After 35 years, this is the result.


The Wellington Government offices are the centrepiece of the North Bank development.


North Bank Estates. Waterz's mansion is in the middle, Larky's one is south of it.


Now, notice something odd here? Well, that house's had that patch of dirt for 22 years.


How it is all pieced together.


The famous Quatre Wellington. Lots of rowhomes, etc.


Self-explanatory.


Again, self-explanatory.


A more or less overview of the North Bank.


Wellington Park, to honour the alliance made between Dynasty and Wellington. The land is also shared by South Bank High. The ruins were only put there for the sake of giving a historical feel to the area. :mrgreen:

For Sale:






Cheers, and enjoy.

Wow! Stunning update!  Great work!

[dhoppeii 12]

SA - Another great update.  Once again, you humor me with your little add ons....You want fries with that?....Classic....

 

I really liked the feel of the Town Centre area.  It really looked inviting.  Liberty Park eh?  Yeah, that statue does look a bit familiar

 

The north bank development area looks really great.  I love the boardwalk area and the canals running through the Estate area.  22 years to build a house or at least get the sod laid down?  Kinda weird eh?  Ahhh, I see it is for sale.  Don't know if I can come up with the asking price though.  I'll have to contact my accountant first.

 

Always great stuff SA.

[Slowhand 0]

Amazing update SA!

I like the night shot especially.

Keep the updates coming Shadow Assassin!

[jarnomiedema 52]

Very nice update, Shadow_Assassin! Well done.. I especialy like the shipyards! I never really liked that building when I saw it on the STEX, but you've convinced me to download it and work on it myself.. Chaumont will not fall behind Dynasty in the.. ehmm.. ship-building-race..

 

And the Emperor sends word that the recent building of a statue of Napoleon I is a very admirable step in improving relations between Chaumont and Dynasty.. Thanks for that, I now realize how nice it is to see your own creations in other people's journals..

 

[Darmok 34]

S_A

What's to say after such a good update.

Hummmm!

Well I could go the usual way : Great work man, good pics.

Or

I could go the critics way : What! just 26 pictures! you've been sleepin' or what?

Or

Well I'll just say this, I loved it!  

I particularly liked the little details, the park and radio station with the same name, the humor lines (they are great!) -Get me off the ceiling!-, The billboards, you have great looking suburbs!

I really liked north bank developement, those sloped streets are really great! with the walkway between the backyards!

The estates with oppies canals, good idea!

All in all a very good one S_A_

Have a great weekend!

[jacqulina 162]

yes what an update great work fantastic pics,i am going to start one but yes i do think it will be slow,i am a very slow builder

[Shadow Assassin 336]

Traffic_Jam, Slowhand: Thanks.

dhoppeii: No problem. You want the house? Then buy it. No matter what your accountant says.

Jarno: Over my dead body - no way Chaumont is going to beat us... we've got over 200 ships already and more on the way.

Darmok: Only 26? Ha! Glad you like it.

jacqulina: Glad you like it. A slow builder, eh? Often patience can have its rewards - I spent two weeks on this city, an hour here and there.

Well, well. I got this in the mail one day.

[Darmok 34]

S_A



You just made my day! Hehehe a carnivorous muffin,
It reminds me, I just ate one with my coffee, and now that I think of it, it had some red spots.... Naaahhhhh! They were surely cranberr... Arghhhhhhh!

PS Loved the newspaper!

[sharkbait16 0]

Great update, that's one beautiful city. 

[dhoppeii 12]

Dude that was awesome.  You are really rather clever....

Carnivorous Muffin, Exalted Leader Daniel Henderson, Mario the famous plumber, mushrooms

 

All I can say is brilliant.  This definately gave me a smile.  Thanks. 

[Shadow Assassin 336]

Darmok: Be careful... who knows what might be in that muffin?

sharkbait: Thanks.

dhoppeii: Glad to bring some shine into your otherwise possibly dreary day.

You'll notice a different format being used from now on. The old theme, while nice, simply kinda was worn out, and a new format will be used for the pictures. Do you like?

Warnervale is the latest addition to the Dynasty family. Located east of Sioban, but slightly west of Titticaca. Warnervale is home to some of the biggest farms in the region, and also is home to Dynasty's only agricultural high school - Warnervale Ag High School (WAHS). The town has a rich, fertile soil, and the largest wind farm of its kind.

Overview, at zoom 2 to better show the farmy goodness... click the image to see a better view. You don't have to, obviously.



Everybody must stay healthy, and why not do it in endless opulence and comfort? Then look no further than Warnervale's famous Medical clinic.


The main town of Warnervale, clumped around Warnervale's main street, also better known as Old Route 1.


More farmy goodness. It's a local legend that stoners run the Hydrophonics plant over there in the lower right corner (y'know those dome buildings?). They've been left alone, since they claim they're manufacturing marijuana and cannabis for medical purposes. Highly unlikely. The locals have requested that this facility be shut down.


More farmy goodness. And the abbatoir. The abbatoir provides many jobs, but unfortunately, there's some pollution, due to the large amount of methane gas produced by cows awaiting their death and later reincarnation as a food item.


Described as mind-blowingly awesome, this wind farm is the major supply of power to Warnervale. Well, these guys are simply just there to provide a consistent source of power, no matter how fan-tastic they seem to be.


Main Street of this tiny town. The gaudy McDonalds can be found here, along with a BP Super Station.


Warnervale Agricultural High School. This replaced the long-since-defunct White Ridge Agricultural College and provides the sole source of agricultural education.


The ubiquitous Goober Co-op can be found here... it's always in every farming town, providing essential supplies to the farmers.


Contrary to what the name suggests, all cattle from this farm do not suffer from Mad Cow Disease. But instead, it's the best source of beef. There's also an orchard to go with it.


Forest Grove, one of the small, secluded residental areas in the Warnervale area.


The famous abbatoir. Cows go in, burgers come out is its slogan. Basically, most of the meat for Dynasty's population is produced via here. You can also buy direct from the abbatoir. Prices may vary.


To finish it off: Yet more farmy goodness.

Enjoy. --SA
