Copper Basin, AZ - Mohave Desert City!

[seemurray2 21]

Earthfirst:  Are you serious?  Because I laughed after I read that.  First of all, I didn't make the desert terrain, I only downloaded it.  Second, its a freakin' game.  I'm sorry I didn't study up on the ecosystem of the Sonoran Desert or read a book on it's natural history before making a desert city on a computer game.  Nor do I care that the pterocalic layers make building houses hard.  Third, I'm sorry this cj is an insult to the true diversity of the Sonoran Desert and the cities that grace their presence upon it's surface.  Other than that, thanks.

Don't listen to him, this CJ is amazing. The canals remind me of Scottsdale.

SEEMURRAY: Great CJ, Poor mike,

EARTHFIRST: Dude, Who cares?

Don't worry about him. I live in Phoenix too and I love your city. It looks very Southwestern - especially the shopping centers, we have tons of those here.

LOL @ the Mike story. Poor guy - that'll teach him never to go to any "venues"

[hamsterTK 93]

Earthfirst: sorry but that kind of detailing is not really possible in the game, especially alluvial features

Great CJ, and I weep for mike.

I sorry if you took my ideas as a put down, I was just educating you that a desert city a complex. Your city does mirror the desert city very well inrespect to urban layout.  I study the urban wildland interface, so I know lots about desert cities.

Also I am alwise right it goes with being an super nerd in biology, who cares why I do and you should care too if you value sim city.

Awesome! This CJ just went to the top of my favorites list...I love simple computer games that don't take into account the entire ecological history of the world! I had some issues of my own in the fact that it doesn't accurately reflect the natural flora and fauna of the North American subsection of Pangaea...can you get on that? Please? Now?

Beautiful update, the landscape and the city are wonderful, everything is arranged so nicely! Very realistic building variety, i like it a lot!! As for the post: yes, you're right, I had forgotten about it (what a shame...). So, I am looking very much forward to the next update,

I dig you seemurray2.. mostly because of your great cj but also for your awesome comments!

[ky72x 13]

Once again, very nice job making West End! It seems like it gets visited by new characters every day. The large amounts of parking lots look good, as does the canal system and bridges. Superior editing on the shopping center, as well! As for Mike, maybe we might see him return eventually, hehe.

RIDICULOUS! why the hell are all those dinosaurs on there! only Barney was common around there!

[gabry85 2]

Looks amazing, I didn't notice the river beneath the canyon! So, will you fill the whole region with suburbs?

[panthersimcity4 162]

I agree with nazaguy. You really need to learn about paleontology - we all know that the Barneysaur was the only prehistoric species of Pangea

[Jillybean86 38]

*sigh*  Chris, Chris...we all know the Stegosaurus, Triceratops, and Tyrannosaurus were all from the Cretaceous period and the Barneysaurus Rex (purpleus dingus) was from the Mesojurassic Nineties PBS...

But WOO!  There are my dinosaurs!  Just like I asked!  It's like Miracle on 34th Street, only not on a holiday, or in New York...or in any other way...

...and get right on me...I'll pretend it's a Freudian Slip...

[seemurray2 21]

Hmmm, you guys are right - I screwed up with the dinosaurs bigtime!      I thought the movie was Miracle on 34th Street...

[Jillybean86 38]

ummm...that's what I said...

[seemurray2 21]

I'll pretend I didn't see that, just like you are pretending mine was a Freudian slip!  deal?

[lucky7 73]

haha the dinosaurs lol! Maybe I could put a dino-costume on my avatar to cherish the pic, but I guess my dog wouldn't be so happy.

Great region view and I am looking very much forward to seeing the 'burbs,

[ky72x 13]

With Barney being pretty mild-mannered, I'm surprised h that he didn't become extinct sooner.

Nice region shots, BTW.

[packersfan 666]

I guess, I should go back and see what you originally said Earthfirst, but I think everyone just needs to relax and not take this all so seriously...but maybe I'll change my mind after seeing your original post...and boy college is a beast, and so is grad school i bet, and time for SimCity is slowly slipping away as we get older...Just amazing how this has becoming a shouting match! haha

Anyways, I definitely like that region view!!! WOW, nice airport, I seriously need to build one in my city!!! Just such a daunting task with all the puzzle pieces! Keep up the great work, even if it is an insult to the Sonoran Desert, or whatever, haha.

[Dsrwhat316 12]

dude, you have a wicked sense of humor! like the "new" title you gave your CJ; i'll try to visit more often...

[seemurray2 21]

Hey, I just wanted to let you know that my next update probably won't be until Monday or Tuesday - things are kind of at a boil in here anyway, so I thought I would try and bring it down to a simmer and get things back on track.  If you're interested, or haven't already done so, I have a couple older cj's which aren't desert themed that you could check out.  Just search the forums for Aqua Vista or Cobalt Springs, don't post in them though - it's not good to have closed cj's getting bumped.  Or you can check out all the new ones, which I have been trying to do.  There are just so many good cj's out right now - it's hard to see them all!   Anyway, thank you and I will try and have a good update for ya'll next time!  lol

Thanks, 

Chris

[lucky7 73]

Looking very much forward to the update and..oh... Happy Birthday, Chris!!

Keep up the good work! I cant wait for more.
