New Avalon

Im just starting my first region-wide planned city, and I thought that I would share the progress with everyone and hopefully you will see it grow from a construction yard on the beach to a megapolis.

 

Cheats used

 

• A money making plant - So I dont go bankrupt before I have planned each district.
• RCI Ploppables - I dont know if this is a cheat, but I thought I'd include it. Used to make the city look right.
• All Rewards Unlocked - Once again to give the city the look I want and some history.

The tile count for the region is 625 medium sized maps, although I may probably cover a lot with ocean. The large size is to give scope for outerlying towns, national parks, islands or even a map containing just an interstate and a service station lol.

No region screenshots yet as I want to get Seaview & Newport district right and plan the region around them.

 A BIG THANKYOU TO ALL THE MOD, BAT AND LOT CREATORS. WITHOUT YOU GUYS I WOULDN'T HAVE EVEN ATTEMPTED A CITY OF THIS SIZE.

Seaview & Newport under construction

On the south-west bank of the Stirling River (named after the first medieval port built here) lies Seaview, where people from all over the city can relax on the beach, or loose all thier earnings in the arcades.

Across the river from Seaview is Newport, the actual site of Port Sterling, now an industrial district and shipping port and home to the last operational steam ship builders 'Hargrieves & Wolf'.

 

 

 

A picture of the Golden Mile which runs the length of the sea-front. This will be lined with amusement arcades, hotels and bars.

I like your use of Marrast's Embankment set along the beach.....Looks good there...

[dewie04 0]

yeah i agree with dhoppeii makes the beach look more realistic

Thanks if Marrast doesn't mind, I may change the walkway textures and make one without lamps so I can space them a bit. I think the hardest part in making a city has to be when it comes to water, because grass only starts forming at cliff level so if you want lowland its got to be desert. If anyone knows a patch for this I would be happy to hear of it.

Well after modifying Marrasts Embankments slightly, the sea-front development is finally underway. I may even post the modified embankment set I am using, if Marrast doesn't mind. Well heres a pic of whats happening so far.

 

All detailed parts of the sea wall are on 1x1 tiles, so that they can be spread the sea wall to give it some life

Sorry there has been no updates yet, I am just getting to grips with BAT *arrrrrgggg* then I will have a suprise in store, I hope, lol.

the beach is very spiffy.

[dewie04 0]

i wonder what the surprise will be...
btw i like the modifications you made on the beach very nice

[Phoenixjp 0]

Well, the suprise never came, it was going to be a large pier, but the project was beyond my expertise. However Newport Bank (across the river from Seaview) is coming along niely here is a shot of the Port area at night, so far thier nightlights out-do the beach lol.
