Schulmania

[Schulmanator 5,787]

They say a picture is worth 1000 words... but what will words get you? How about 100 in cold hard cash? Sounds better? OF COURSE! So, while I am waiting to find out which of the two options I mentioned (new maps or new town?) you want (Hester voted for new town so far... our only vote), here's a Schulmania pic to inspire you. Perhaps worth more than even 100 dollars?

(Bear Creek, Middle Tenne - in case you were wondering... for a future update...)

So, by a 1-0 vote (very light voter turnout this time!), we shall see Bastet City, a city in the South Sea District, just south of Wirdlington and northeast of Trixie Port. It is a Schulmania website exclusive feature and can be seen by clicking the picture below.

Enjoy!

Bastest city is very nice! Very exclusive!

[Lyhoko Leaci 770]

Looks good, can't wait for more!

Maps, please.

[RipRap 4,400]

Can't wait!

[Markus J 242]

Darn I missed voting... well next time. Whatever you show looks nice, so at least that's a win.

[emperordaniel 1,281]

I'll be looking forward to it!

In the biggest jump of the Olympics, Schulmania Volume 1, which has not been updated since 2008, has vaulted from obscurity on Page 23 of the CJ index to page 1. You are welcome to read Volume 1, but all new updates will continue to be here in Volume 2. If you are relatively new to Schulmania, you may want to give Volume 1 a quick read. After all, it's only 268 pages!

[emperordaniel 1,281]

Now that's a BIG jump!

[Hester 699]

Looking good.

Hester It is distinctive, is it not?

Hester I am sure more than the Manx will come to this little isle on the coast.

nathanthemayor I am jealous!

Lyhoko Leaci No sunscreen needed; I don’t tan and I have made peace with that. That’s maybe why I look younger than my age. Though I can’t seem to convince the waitresses that I deserve the kids eat free deal anymore…

Gn_leugim Ummm, geologically, the answer would be ‘very carefully!’ Those rocks do have a mind of their own…

Markus J Maxis’ port is not very nice but I needed a small one and that fit the bill.

111222333444 Maybe the Isle of Cat will do up a flag like that…

SimCoug You may have to wait a bit longer. I made an interesting discovery in game I will be featuring first.

Hester Real ones?

Lyhoko Leaci Map will wait just a bit because of a discovery I made whilst in game…

Gn_leugim You said it!

Hester Je suis d’accord!

Hester As our only voter – YOU WIN!

Schulmanator I like your $100 bill…

City_Master Thanks! It was just a ferry terminal and that’s it until I decided to upgrade it to a town.

Lyhoko Leaci Map is in the on deck circle awaiting the reveal of my discovery…

111222333444 Awesome pawsome!

Markus J Thanks!

emperordaniel Welcome back! Glad to see you here again.

SimCoug hehehehe. I had to do it…

emperordaniel It helps to have a reeeeeeeeeeeeeealy long pole!

Hester Muchas gracias!

NEWS TIDBIT

The new maps mentioned before in our lopsided 1-0 vote will be slightly delayed. I made an interesting discovery while in the Schulmania tile in game where the war is taking place. That discovery might impact the course of the war and/or its aftermath. It is not a particularly photogenic discovery but an important one nonetheless. I will show you soon and you can see for yourselves.

[Markus J 242]

Will there be mass chaos?! I gotta admit, I want to see a less clean town or city, all your places look so clean, and perfect.

[Hester 699]

I sure hope that is not something bad for the felines?

[Schulmanator 5,787]

Let's just say this: what I am showing tomorrow is something that the game did... I didn't do it/intend for it to be there.

But in the Olympic spirit, I will try to get over it...

I wonder what it could be...

[Gn_leugim 853]

I wonder how big is that pole... enough to jump "just" 268 pages eheh. it could be more, it is a good reading

May I ask how in cat's name you got a visit on your flag counter from North Korea?

Battle Damage Assessment 2

After protracted trench warfare and heavy destruction, the Schulmania National Army’s V & VI Corps pushed into Chattering Hills, liberating it from enemy occupation. The charge included several Simtropolis citizens in our ranks, including LT Phillip de Purrton (VI Corps 12th Division 132nd Regiment), CPL Bigglesworth, LT Madcat Imvhozzi (same unit) and air support from the Schulmania National Air Force Meownicopter Squadron’s LT Nineeight and COL Michael ebba Leaci. As units moved in and secured the area, they made a disturbing discovery. The pictures from the Battle Damage Assessment report are shown below. They are unmodified from the in game pictures, though having them animated would make it more clear what we see.

If the pictures are not very stunning, that’s because this is in-game radiation. It appears ground sites across the Occupied Zone may be contaminated with toxins and may be unusable once the war is over. This is a very disturbing turn of events and lends a new sense of urgency to the liberation of Schulmania.

Oh dear. Perhaps mutant felines will make a future appearance.

EDIT: I tried to watch the video but it gives me a bad link

[emperordaniel 1,281]

Oh no... those dastardly, evil Buggs!

[Markus J 242]

It's Russia all over again, radiation!

[Lyhoko Leaci 770]

Simtropolis chews up direct links for some stupid reason, thinking that making them shorter is better.

And the land is chewed up in a different way...

Hopefully it can be decontaminated...

[Schulmanator 5,787]

Oops! try the picture below... clicking it should bring up the radiation video...

[RipRap 4,400]

Poor settlement, hindered by onimay juice

[Markus J 242]

How do you record video?

[Lyhoko Leaci 770]

Not good when the ground glows...

Hopefully meownicopters are good radiation shields.

Also, due to a change in Zukish grammar, my soldier name needs to change to "Michael jebba Leaci" in order for it to be grammatical... Pesky gendered words... (And why is "leech" of all things feminine?)

[emperordaniel 1,281]

Killed four giant cockroaches in the kitchen the other day...it's a good thing I'm moving into a new apartment the day after tomorrow, as I'm now sure that the Buggs have bugged this one. :|
