    -I will do replies next update, which will be soon-

    -Sarejevo Preview-

    Wow, its been awhile huh? lol. Well I'm back and updating again one little step at a time. So with update you may think "wow this guy's cultural styles are all over the place" and yes you would be very right. But to prevent this I'm going to be re-strucutring a few cities in Solomon to make them look more European so there is a contrast bewteen European in Western Solomon and Asian in Eastern Solomon. So as we move along to our preview I will give a better intro to Sarejevo next update. Sarejevo is located in South West solomon along the sea. It is the Venice of the AU and its economy is driven by tourists. It was a colony of the Great Manterian Empire  and is one of the most historical cities in Solomon today:

    Just a quick comment to nflfan335:

    No, but I love that city. This city is more based off of Naples and Venice.

    This will be the last update for a little while as I will be in Mexico for the next 2 weeks. So no SC4 till I get back. And now to the update:

    Sarejevo has a population of 5 million in the metro area. It is not only home to some of Solomon's oldest buildings but a major domestic tourist destination for all of Solomon. Founded in the 1500s by Manterian missionaries looking to convert the local tribes to Catholicism. The mission grew and awhile later Sarejevo emerged to be a thriving metro. Built a shallow and moist valley Sarejevo was prone to devastating floods during the Spring seasons. Canals were built to transfer the flow of water to the nearby sea. In the 1950s Sarejevo began booming once again and it resulted in the beach area, to be 'colonized' if you will, with massive hotel towers sprouting up. For the last 50 years Sarejevo has been a jewel of hertiage for Solomon. And it is truly the Venice of the Adrian Union:

    We will first start out on a overview of the historical area:

    Sarajevo.jpg

    Built in 1593 the Louvre Cathedral housed the Manterian Mission and provided a gathering place for the growing town of Sarejevo:

    Sarajevo-Jubahhhl.jpg

    Next we will take a look at another historical cathdral, the San Grecci Chapel. It is also has iconic spire that sticks out in the skyline:

    Sarajfdfdfdevo-Jul.jpg

    Moving across the canal we shall visit the ancient unviersity of San Mateo. Built firstly as a Chruch it was transformed in a beautiful university in the heart of the historical city:

    Sarajevooooo-Jul.jpg

    Moving down the canal you will notice a interesting feature of the city. Most of Sarejeov was built on farmalnd and around the city when it was built was home to many vineyards and farms. One vineyard complex that was kept around was a summer home of the King and Queen of Mantreria. Most of the vineyards had be cut down for the new canal system in the 1700s, but still some vines remain:

    Sarajeeeevo-Jul.jpg

    Sarejevo has a very interesting transportation system. There are alsmot no cars in the historical district. People mainly travel by boat, gondola, or the local subway which is shown here:
