[The Big Z 103]

JULY!?!? Darn it. I can't wait that long. Either way, I'm totally excited to see more, penguin. Garland's been missing you.

[suplado! 23]

wow -- cool residential area...and the new huge airport looks awesome!!

[Hester 699]

came to check on you and the CJ.

[penguin007 27]

Hey guys cant resist coming back here every now and then!!! Thanks for the comments. Well Ive made a lot of progress on Cologne and will need another 2 weeks to finish the region, the restart of this cj has been moved forward to june 16th becuase thats the last day of my exams. After I have showcased the Cologne I will be moving to a new style of city which will be middle eastern/mediteranean. Its been inspired by Jargeah and republic of khaled of course but also jeronji's MD on sc4devotion and also Qumma also on sc4devotion both of which are awesome reads. I will also show the development of this region from poor farming to booming city fueled by oil.

Now heres a couple of pics to show progress of Cologne. Remember its unfinished and if u have any constructive critiscm make it now. Also experiementing with photoshop

See u

Nice, I got teasers like that too. I need to download Photoshop, did you buy yours?

[The Big Z 103]

Looks great, penguin. I do have one small suggestion. Perhaps a little park, with trees in the middle of that large triangular development would look awesome! The trees look great. It would look even better with maybe even a simple pond, or park. I'm totally excited for your debut!

Thanks for the comments guys. I see what you mean with the trees so I will add variety I think to that. Also glad u like the photshopping.

@deion30296: Its not actaully photoshop!! its actaully paint.net which is free if u find it here: http://www.getpaint.net/

@aceofspades: Glad youve "discovered" this cj!! u were actaully one of the people who followed it at the begining so thanks for coming back.

[jacqulina 162]

[Benedict 3,119]

Hey, Will, glad to see you back with some new updates - this is a great CJ. I like the interesting rail setup on the last page - is that regular rail tunneled under high speed rail?

[Riuchando 0]

very nice i like this one as much as ratislava but what ever happened to the mainland on that one?

either way i look foward to future update no matter how long

and lastly i hope non of your pictures/updates were corrupted by this latest virus

[penguin007 27]

Well at last I'm back guys I have 3 exams left but I thought I'd start updating again now. I don't think this cj was affected by the problems a couple of weeks ago which is good. I have 11 big updates installed for you guys of Cologne so enjoy. I'm not sure what I want to do after that but I'm turning to relotting stuff at the moment. Oh and just to answer Riuchando Ratislava is long dead.

Heres the update then an intro to Cologne sorry none of the pics are edited I didnt have time and now I cant be bothered

Cologne's parliment building.

Below is the fomer royal palaces no used as residence for formal geusts to the city
