Yusonia - Archipelago [Adrian Union]

[Lalginho 0]

[The year, 1506. The place, Somewhere in the Atlantic.

A mysterious new land is found, named Yusonia after explorer Yuson - it's discoverer.

A large group of islands thought to be the result of some super volcanic eruption is found.

Some small settlements are attempted, but none could tame the great Yusonic islands...

Presenting:

The land is tricky, unpredictable and harsh.

Maps become outdated in months due to the changing shorelines...

Do I spy a highway or road on the largest island?

and amazing map, keeping my eye on this.

Quick question, how big is the map, mind posting a region image with the map sizes?

[Lalginho 0]

Thanks for the great support everyone!

There is no highways yet on the map, the grey line you refer to could be where the rock shows through the grass due to the elevation?

All of the maps i use are large city tiles, and to show you where i am building first and also the size of the region:

Hopefully the first update of this region in a couple of hours

[Za 164]

very nice...Now I can see the relative size. Looking forward to the update

Go Prince!!

jayo - Thanks for stopping by friend

nottheboss - thanks for the compliment

penguin007 - ah my old friend, i was sad to see The River White fail, but it got too boring with the land, so i decided to try something a little more tricky.

smarty218 - Thanks, i will be explaining the strange formation of islands on a later date

jacqulina - Thanks jacky, nice CJ you have going yourself

webz - Thanks friend, stay tuned to find out!

aaglo - no highways yet, just some stretch marks in the terrain. the map is 5x5 large tiles i believe

Za - thanks again Za, here it comes...

Update

Start off with the shot of the region i will build upon from when i loaded it

Since then i have put down a small city centre, a railway station with a few spraying railways and a major industrial area. i also put down some suburbs in between the two so you can see my building style. no play button pressed yet!

Here is the sunken railway i wanted to have for transporting some manufactured goods through the suburbs:

Here is the (for now!) basic city centre

Here is an overview of the industrial core of the city (to be expanded as the city grows)

And finally a close-up of the power plant itself in the industrial area:

I will continue working soon, maybe an update tomorrow morning!

Wow!! Very nice!! I can't wait to see more development!! You should make a nation!!

[2nerdy4u 1]

Very nice work. Looks like you're pretty good at using nature and building around it, to make nice, cozy areas. Great work.

[dralin321 0]

[Benedict 3,119]

connorc24: thanks for the continued support

2nerdy4u: thanks, thats the effect i was going for. there is much demand in the area due to the gorgeous scenery around, but it is still mostly rural.. for now

dralin321: thanks buddy. ill try to keep the standard high

Benedict: thanks, i needed a challenge for this game

penguin007: the wait is over!

Update

If someone can pm me with details for how to upload the map onto the STEX, i would be happy to do it. the map has got a lot of nice words, and im sure a few of you would like to try out the challenging region yourselves.

I have expanded the town, and pretty much completed the southern side of the northern bank of the river (some farms still to fill in):

I have decided to let it grow from now and for people who havent followed my CJs in the past, i dont like to demolish buildings because they don't look good etc. Whatever builds, stays in my cities. Here is the town after the press:

A close-up of the riverside region of the town:

Here is a shot of the industrial region as it develops:

A better view of the suburban houses of the south side:

And the city centre, showing most of the few buildings there are there:
