This is my second CJ and I think I learned some lessons from the first and have gotten better at SC4, so here it goes.

 

The Kingdom of Paranor Island is a small country off the west coast of Wales and east coast of Ireland, in the Irish Sea. It is one of the world’s oldest and most powerful monarchies. The current king of Paranor Island is His Majesty King Alfred IV of the House of Leah. Paranor’s powerful enjoyed great prosperity through the Colonial Age and the country still has territories in the Atlantic and the Caribbean. During World War II the Kingdom was invaded by the German war machine and suffered extensive damage from Luftwaffe air raids. Because of this there are many more modern buildings in the country’s oldest cities. The capital city of Paranor is Leah, named for the Royal Family. The city lies beneath a dormant, believed extinct volcano called Mt. Argo, which when last erupted two thousand years ago killed six hundred people.

More will follow soon, thanks for reading,

wow, looks really good. I can't wait to see more, my friend. I really like the history too

[tigerplayer91 3]

Oh our countries are located fairly close to

eachother! Mine is off of the coast of France south

of Great Britain.

I like the heading, if the pictures in the background are

from parts of your city then Im excited to see what

else you got in store, nice flag btw.

Intriguing! I missed your first one, but I've just had a look and it looked pretty good. I look forward to seeing more. It's funny, I've lived in the UK all my life but i'm still discovering new islands around my homeland! I like Mt Argo (and not just because it's the only pic so far!). Your description... "beleived extinct" sounds ominous!!!

[Craig91 12]

CAUTION: City Under Construction

So I thought for my first update I would show some pics around Paranor that are currently under construction (that being most of it)

-------------------------------------------------

Firstly, this is a plan (and somewhat reality) of the islands main region at the very south. Red is street level Metro (GLR) and blue is underground Metro. Black is InterCity rail and brown in suburban commuter rail. Finally light blue is motorway.

Killeshan is my attempt at a proper skyscraper city without going to the ridiculous extremes I went to in Normandy.

Leah, my nation's capital isn't quite the way I want it yet even though it is the oldest and most worked on city in my region. For that reason I'm not going to show much of it and none of the really good areas.

Melcena is my first real small town so be nice.

And finally, Illian, my latest city. I have good expectations for this city and hope they're not misplaced

Sky Guy: Thanks a lot

tigerplayer91: I've seen your CJ too and I like it

psander5: Funny you should notice that. I didn't mean the 'believed' to be any indication of a future storyline but I do actually have one planned

[tigerplayer91 3]

Looks great so far!

Cant wait to see it with all of the

zones filled in and developed.

It looks like your cities are growing fast!

What water modd is that your using?

It doesnt look like the SimCity4 water that

came with the game and it doesnt look like the

extremely popular version everyone uses, the darker

version. It looks good though!

A+ my friend great start very nice work indeed, i loved how you set up your residential areas gives me ideas.

Keep up all the great work.

[Craig91 12]

Time to see what important things are in the news today in Paranor Island.

Thanks for the comments. Not sure what water mod I'm using tigerplayer91, I can't remember and can't find it in my plugins folder (not easy to sort 19,000 files and 3,500 folders)

[jacqulina 162]

great intro and good looking start my friend great newspaper too.

[Jerebannus XVI 7]

I must say this is an excellent CJ, incredible start there matey!

I can already predict this is going to be big, the potential's there, keep it up

*I only comment on good cjs, yours is one of them!!

[Godzillaman 21]

The potential for this is through the roof! It all depends on where you take this...

[Schulmanator 5,812]

You have an impressive start to this. Your map shows a region with great potential. I wonder what will happen with the volcano.

[psander5 198]

I like it. The newspaper is good... and I knew I was on the right track with your volcano! I'm like the animals... I can sense disaster coming! Illian looks promising. I like the park and the placement of the observation tower (I love that building). Looking forward to more!

[tigerplayer91 3]

Great newspaper!

Its ok about the water modd i can completely

relate lol. Though I only have 1,000 files its still

annoying to sift through them all to look for something.

I hope that volcano doesnt erupt that would stink.

Nickk

[roboo1 1]

There is not so many development in your cities so making a volcano eruption would be quite strange. I mean you should show us more of your cities and maybe then a volcano can destroy something Anyway you started a very promising CJ!!!

Bit of a long update today , so be warned. This update will focus on (part of) Paranor's capital city, Leah.

Thanks to everyone who commented so far, and those of you who didn't please don't hold anything back (good or bad)

Although the King has complete  discretionary power in all matters, Paranor Island does have a parliament. It was created by the king to facilitate the political needs of running a country. While technically wielding no power, Parliament runs the country on behalf of the King, taking care of day to day matters. The system of government is modeled on Paranor’s neighbour, the Republic of Ireland, with a proportional representation system. Parliament is made up of two hundread members, five from each constituency and elections are held every five years. After elections are held, Parlaiment appoints an An Chéad Aire (Prime Minister) who in turn appoints government ministers. Leah is the capital of the Kingdom and all government departments are are located here. Leah is also a economic, cultural, and educational centre and the city has a very long history.

---

There should be more from Leah, maybe next week or some time later, because there's a lot more to show. In anyway, hope you enjoyed today's update and comments are appreciated,

Craig

[supercity124 8]

Where did you get that stadium???

[Craig91 12]

supercity: That is KS's Osaka 70 Expo Stadium and can be found here.

[pipe 0]

congrats!! good city!!! but i have one question... where did you get the seawalls used in your city, specially in the photo of "cruise ship port"?? 

thanks for all,

and congrats too!!

[LunarMongoose 1]

There's an old CD called Shadows by Danny Wright, track 6 is "Song for Lea" which I always liked, even sounds like good SimCity music on giving it a re-listen... just thought I'd mention it.

[psander5 198]

Excellent update... and very big! I really like your use of BATs in this CJ. The government area is especially nice, and the stock exchange. I look forward to what's coming... "because there's a lot more to show." !!

[rjm35 0]

wow this is really looking good. i cant wait to see how all the development comes together.  looking forward to more!

[Jerebannus XVI 7]

Amazing cj! everything fits so well together, your editing skills produce such simple and uncomplicated lots and yet they do such a good job in embellishing the city. It's a bit like diverse uniformity if that makes sense, lol. Loving this cj, looking forward to seeing more, lots more!

[Smarty218 2]

Craig! You're back! And you've certainly taken off! Fantastically detailed and planned! Looking forward to more!

~TJ

[Craig91 12]

Ha ha, I was just thinking about you Smarty, I was about to comment on New Corsica.

To pipe, I'm pretty sure they're on the STEX but I can't find them at the minute. I'll get back to you if I find them

Thanks to everyone else for the kind comments

[anarchy0029 2]

Nice work partner, that is very impressive.

[Sky Guy 163]

Wow, great work- I love that canal through downtown

[pipishere 3]

A very nice CJ

[jacqulina 162]

[roboo1 1]

That's a big update! I especially like your stadiums- nicely done
