Good update... I like the BATs a lot. Great variety in this one!

Keep it up.

@bbfan02: Thanks! I believe the majority of the buildings you posted were done by either Andreas or AndreasRoth. I think I may have downloaded them off of SC4devotion, but I could've downloaded them off of simtropolis too. He is a part of the SFBT team, which has some great European BATs. Search his name and you will find a jackpot. I honestly have no idea who did the blue buildings, but if you search either European or Polish, you may find them.

@jjune4991: Thanks alot!

@PhilsCafe: Thanks, I try!

First, an overview of Orbe from west to east:

@Schulmanator: Thanks, chocolate too!

@muilirk: What does NWUN mean?

Here is a Switzerland regional update:

[jjune4991 1]

wow...what can i say? i guess i've said it enough. just keep up the good work. and how farther does your map go to the right?

[TRNSTN 0]

This CJ is crazy, so realistic! I really like the farms, and the look of the region in general. Keep up the good work!

[gndrew 0]

@jjune4991: I appreciate the compliments. I'm about 25%-30% done. My map is 16x12, so you're seeing about a third of it right now.

@TRNSTN: Thanks! That's what I'm going for!

[jacqulina 162]

excellent work my friend looking really good and coming on so well

[Mike the Mayor 51]

That's one impressive region view, great work. The buildings look wonderful together in the towns and cities too. Great job all round!

[PhilsCafe 8]

Orbe looks nice. I also like the overview, looks like you've covered most of "La Romandie" already. I especially like the town-rural-town transitions.

[LEONARDO81 2]

i waiting for new updates. sorry for my bad english

[Twenty20 28]

Very nice city, and impressive regional view, excellent work.

[etherian 4]

Thats a great regional view, and excellent cities too.

Perhaps a little more greenery within the urban environments would be more pleasing to the eyes?

[Fresh Prince of Wmbg 44]

WOW .....look like i missed a lot. Your Cj has really grown. Nice Work!

Also could you tell me where you found the red-roof buildings in the 10th Picture from your update of Orbe?

[LEONARDO81 2]

@fresh prince

https://www.simtropolis.com/stex/index.cfm?id=16617 is it this ???

[Mr. Beer 12]

Orbe, VD... wow, bigger than in the reality... Just for the tips, Orbe is the home of Nespresso (Nestl

[Voulpiotis 4]

God, this is great work...! I really love the regional picture...! Great!

@jacqulina: Thanks!

@Mike the Mayor: I appreciate the compliments!

@PhilsCafe: I didn't know the area was called that. Thanks for the info.

@LEONARDO81: I know I need to get you all some good updates. It might take forever to do all the cities. I haven't worked on this in a couple of months, but I've completed many areas southeast of Lausanne.

@Twenty20: Thanks!

@etherian: Thanks, I know some more parks would be nice. Sometimes I get too obsessed with density rather than aesthetics.

@Fresh Prince: LEONARDO81 got it right.

@Mr. Beer: Thanks for the facts!

@Voulpiotis: Thank you!

I will hopefully get a new regional update very very soon. Right now I'm actually watching Euro 2008 and Switzerland is tied with Turkey. Hope the Swiss can pull it out!

[jjune4991 1]

so i'm guessing an update dealing with their win (if they do *fingers crossed*). cant wait to see what has been done in the past months.

EDIT: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Arda! you fool! why? in 2 over! why?

[gndrew 0]

@jjune4991: No, unfortunately nothing to do with soccer, just a broad regional update.

Here is my region as of last night:

As you might notice, alot of work has been done in the southern part east of Geneve.

Hope you enjoyed! Hopefully I will have some more updates coming up soon. In the meantime, GO SWITZERLAND!

[Madog 3]

Hum I like the farm area.Cool!

[Fresh Prince of Wmbg 44]

The region looks sweet, what the overall pop now? 

P.S. LEONARDO81-Thanks for the link.

[jjune4991 1]

wow...a lot of stuff has been done there. good job! can't wait to see what it is close up!

[gndrew 0]

@Madog: Thanks! I took great care to make them more realistic looking than your typical farm layout.

@Fresh Prince: Thanks, overall population is 815,000 with only about 1/3 of the region completed.

@jjune4991: Thanks, hopefully I can get some better updates soon with close-in photos.

[LEONARDO81 2]

sorry gndrew, i dont understand this >>>>> :@LEONARDO81: I know I need to get you all some good updates. It might take forever to do all the cities. I haven't worked on this in a couple of months, but I've completed many areas southeast of Lausanne.

:-( kannst du es vieleicht auf deutsch

[Unassigned 23]

An interesting journal which i only just discovered. Where do I get the French estate from your first update?

I hope you will do mountains at some point. Passing through Switzerland whether by car or by train is always amazing for a flatlander such as myself....you know you're in Switzerland when the road sign says 12% slope and the road just goes straight down for many kilometers

[gndrew 0]

@LEONARDO81: Sorry, I don't know how to speak German. Basically, I just said I haven't worked on it much lately, but more updates are coming soon. Hope you understood that.

@uassigned: Thanks! I will have to try to find where that French estate came from, I don't quite remember. I think it might be agricultural, but I'm not sure. I think I got it off of sc4devotion. Mountains are definitely coming, I assure you!
