Lindaraja

[Kamikaze 0]

it's coming up nicely.

The arena should be moved to another place, i don't think that look nice in there, but it's just my opinion.

Btw do you like the red tower with some kind of bird?? I think you can remove that and place something else more good looking.

 

in the fortress, it will have only residential??

Excellent non-update Everything looks beautiful, but the church on the hill stood out for me - I can't wait to see what you build around it!

Edit: And I'm happy to bring in Page 3!

[Jerebannus XVI 7]

wow this is great, i will certainly be following Lindaraja's progress. simplemente me encanta, y su nombre es especialmente peculiar Linda Raja no lo tomes a mal, solo una broma practica, tienes bastante inmaginacion y esas paredes estan de pelicula! me mola esta ciudad.

This is a great change from the regular stuff.

Now lets see some skyscrapers in the castle.

Just kidding. We all know you'll come up with something that fits perfectly.

[rooker1 4]

OMG, absolutely incredible.  Lots more pics, please.

 

L8r!

[fredval 26]

Splendid !  The most beautiful non update I've ever seen

[jacqulina 162]

excellent but maybe the arina looks out of place a bit

[Nardo69 51]

The builder of a castle like must have been rich ... or his people very poor to maintain an army that can defend such a castle ...

But it definately looks great (fortunately we don't have to pay that army ... )

I love the historical theme of this CJ. Its georgous

[Shadow Assassin 336]

Whoa, this looks so realistic. Let's see more!

[Mickebear 2]

Thanks a lot Marrast for that link - and as I am a loyal admirer of your creation, it goes without saying - absolutely fabulous

[mambomumba 8]

Hi|This is just unbelievable. I visited San Marino just a few days ago and it gave me so much

     inspiration. Then I saw your update...hrm...non-update and it was just like taking my inspiration-

     thaughts out of my head and in here (That sentence maybe went quite indistinct, my bad..).

     Lets make it clear, it's wonderful.

Marrast

That thing is HUGE! and so beautiful, and I do hope you'll find something to replace the arena, it's a good lot but it doesn't seem to be on the same scale as the rest.

That is one original CJ man

Take care

Oh, guys, your comments is the only thing that makes me want to continue this CJ! I really appreciate all these words! Thank you all so much!

Unfortunately, i don't have enough time to work on Lindaraja. I play SC4 only few hours on week, rather i don't play, i work with Lot Editor lol  

But still i've got the update!
Before i start, some answers as always

To Kamikaze: I'll think about this bird. At this time, i've removed it (arena is also removed) The fortress will be residential and comercial wit a bit of agriculture and alot of administrative buildings

To Jerebannus XVI: Huh, yes, i know about this joke, but since i'm not spanish speaking man, i just like the way this word sounds

To jacqulina: Indeed, i've removed the arena from its place. But maybe i'll plop it simwhere else  

To Nardo69: Oh, well yes But this fortress is not a private one. It's kind of province center 


Ok.. now the full update

Palacio Irreal.

Since i don't play with Jindaraja as much as i want to, the progress is really slow
But i've almost finished the heart of the Lindaraja - complex of the Palacio Irreal. The residence and the work place of the governor. It's also a culture center of the town.
Here is the aerial view of what we have now:

The complex includes the main promenade from the main gates to the Opera plaza with the nice looking fountain. Also there is the Gran Opera, La Ceca (the mint), two buildings of the Palacio Irreal, Plaza del Rey, and the Alcaldia.

Here is a closer view of the whole complex:

align=baseline>


I've spend a lot of time thinking about the way this complex should look. And finnaly i've decided to me it this way, with good looking cascades infront of the main palace building:

  align=baseline>


And here is a closer view of the Plaza del Rey and the main building of the palace:

A closer look to the north entrance:

A view from another anlge to both buildings of the palace:

Closer look to the cascades:

And here is an east palace building:

East palace building from another point of view:

And here is the housings and shops at the west of the Palace. This area will develop as high wealth housing  area in the future, so it will look like this:

And here is another aerial shot of the Palacio Irreal:

And from here you can see how big is the whole complex comaring to the whole fortress:

I think that it fits really well there.. Any way i love the way it looks
Oh, and please ingnore those wind power plants

If you want to know how the fortress will grow, here is a small explanation of the master plan:




So... that's all for today. I hope the next update will not take really long

Good luck!

Hmm, looks pretty damn cool.

Ah, are you using a custom slope mod, or is it all hand-terraformed?

[Chris M 406]

This is currently a city journal I would like to visit from now on, your use of BATs and custom lots is really nice, and very talented with the placing and such of them. I really like how you used the different ground textures and put them all together to form a giant almost like palace. I am really impressed with this journal.

Edit: I added you to my sig, I hope you like.

i've said this before but this is breath taking

[Murakumon 1]

This is absolutely incredible, i have never seen the game in this dimension. You've just raised the bar. I can't wait for this one to continue.

[lilou 1]

This is really astounding ! Not extremely realistic (I've never seen something that looks like that in my whole life, but who cares ? it's just a game) but absolutely beautiful. Great !

[jacqulina 162]

amazing work,very nice detail,yes the stadium will look good somewhere else,great pics

[Mickebear 2]

Marrast, you really don't let us down with your incredible building and LE gifts. Suberb!

[the_crispbread_witch 0]

Looks amazing! The diagonal streets fit in perfect.

[Jerebannus XVI 7]

Ok, sorry about posting in Spanish, really nice updates, i like the way the Palacio's area looks, and those other buildings just blend in perfectly with the type of architerture that you are using. once again this will be a great cj.

[pikatchoum 2]

It's WONDERFUll.

The work with your custom places is tunning.

It's seems so real....incredible

The cascade are great

[marijntjo 0]

Ohhh this looks sweet marrast... I really wonder how the fortress will look like, after filling in the planned areas!! One note, I think the Rotes Rathaus (or whatever its called) looks a bit out of place. I think the building is a bit to modern to be placed within the fortress walls...

The royal square and palace looks very very good, especially the fountain with the cascades aswell as the main entrance with the market [:0]

 

Question: which download contains those residential houses you used?

 

Good luck with this project!!

 

[MrCinatit 30]

wow...just...wow, marrast. can tell you have put one heck of a lot of time into that little palace area, and it shows. quite remarkable, if i can say.

[GingerBlokey 30]

Woah. I love the palace. It must have taken ages to design in LE. Brilliant. I love the slope and the terraced flower beds.

[Traffic_Jam 0]

Great work, that is a stunning update

[Kamikaze 0]

I don't know what to say, that is great.

I'm waiting to see more from you.

 

[SIMMANIA 4]

Very ohh....... I can't find any word to describe this! Woow! Seriously your walls and all it's really really great! The palace! A promising CJ! But where you find the walls? I'm speaking of the medieval walls, not the brown-tan looking one made by jeroni I think...
