And yay! 150 posts!

[Gn_leugim 858]

woow.. nice sport facilities you like to build big XD

[anarchy0029 2]

Wow, that is a lot of what I have missed out here. The main reason I didn't comment on this was because you didn't change your summary on the CJ section. The work is really excellent.

Great CJ and spectacular Simlympic bid.

Please consider adding your money to this thread: https://www.simtropolis.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=23&threadid=99152 and your metro map to this one: https://www.simtropolis.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=23&threadid=81508.

And do you have a map of your elevated network? I'd love to see that...

[tycoonsimraider123 16]

This is very impressive from what i can tell. One question, did you actually model those buildings, or did you find them on the stex???

[balkair 6]

Thanks everyone (real replies come with the next update) Here are some news, as I am still working on my next update!

tycoonsimraider123 - no, I found them on stex

so they don't like gays ein? in the army there are a lot of them (joking) ^^ looking forward to see that airport

[balkair 6]

Lol Gn_leugim - that airport is comming soon! Right now I have something else for you!

Well guys, this is my first update in a LONG time, since i've been very busy with my Simlympic preparation, school and other stuff. But this update is devoted to one of the closest allies of the Shalman Empire, and a fellow COFR member: the Kingdom of Hypertrophy. Enjoy!

A general overview of the Alianna District in Ylmeria, right next to the December 2008 Simlympic Games Park (Ylmeria Simlympic Athletics Complex - YSAC)

One of the major attractions of the Aliana District is the Hypertrophy Cathedral, built hundreds of years ago by Hypertrophy merchants. It is one of the most famous landmarks in all the Empire today!

You should also visit the Hypertrophy Walkway, named after the Kingdom of Hypertrophy. You will find loads of nice clothes etc there, and in relatively low prices!

The Institute of Hypertrophy Studies, on Hypertrophy Walkway. Here you will learn everything you need to know about the language of Hypertrophy, studying in Hypertrophy and other things of this nature!

Hypertrophy, being the top foreign investor in the Shalman Empire, has opened up numerous Bank of Hypertrophy shops across the Empire. The Bank of Hypertrophy Headquarters are locaded in the Alianna District!

A night view of the Bank of Hypertrophy.

The Hypertrophy Indoor Hall - it will also be used for the December Simlympic Games [lucky Hypertrophians! ]

The Arkas Mansion (green building), home of the legendary Arkas family, amongst the first and richest Hypertrophy merchants in the Shalman Empire. It is now a museum.

The Statue of the Kingdom of Hypertrophy, a donation of the Imperial Family to the Hypertrophy Citizens.

Alten'ydani Palace, built when the Empire of Andromeda conquered the Shalman Empire 1400 years ago. Half the palace now belongs to the Shalman Imperial Family, whereas the rest was bought by the Hypertrophy Imperial Family.

And to close this update, a night view of the Hypertrophy District!

I hope you have enjoyed the journey through Alianna District

[anarchy0029 2]

Hey man, Kingdom of Hypertrophy is totally delighted of thework you put out there. And much congratulations for the Simlympic Bid. I look forward to play there. The Alianna District is beautiful by the way. Thank you. Plus, it is a pleasure to trade with the Shalman Empire.

[balkair 6]

Thanks Ray! I'm glad the Kingdom of Hypertrophy likes the Alianna District

And i look forward to signing that treaty on the COFR forums so we can start trading again (I hope it happens soon!)

[Schulmanator 5,813]

Looking good there! A Halloween treat for all of us.

[dj's girl 0]

Wow, Hypertrophy is one of my favorite CJ's. Great work on the district.

[fabsies55 5]

your cities are great. great use of variety

most of your buildings are great and your city layout is great too.

just one question.... where did you get the allianz arena and your "main stadium" cause they look awesome.

[NMUSpidey 3,956]

Nice updates! Simlympic Park looks worthy of holding such a great event! Here's hoping Team PM can build on their success from the Penthesili games!

[balkair 6]

the latest news from the Shalman Empire!

Schulmanator  - Glad you think so

dj's girl - thank you! Hypertrophy is one of my faves too!

fabsies55 - thanks a lot man! To tell u the truth, I dont know where i got them from... I think from stex. The main stadium is called "oita stadium" and the other one "allianz arena". Try on STEX :/ sorry, cant help u

NMUSpidey - TY Hope you do well in the Shalman Empire's Simlympiad too

[mrbombit 1]

Quite simply one the best and classiest CJs' I have seen in a while. Very well put together, great pics, and a good story line to tie it all together. Very nice.

[newyorkrunaway1 110]

nice layout and newspaper, although i dont really agree with some of the topics of discussion

[balkair 6]

@newyorkrunaway1: if you're talking about the anti-gay act, then its all an evil plan by our satanic military government

[Gn_leugim 858]

woow.. nice Spanish looking city (I thing it's Spanish lol) very well made.. may I ask you a question? where did you get that cathedral? =) looks lovely =)

[jacqulina 162]

wow awesome work very nice planning and detail my friend,excellent pics especially the close up ones,very interesting newspapers.

[art128 4,622]

great update and also, nice newspaper !

[Artur_001 4]

Wow. Great update. I love your Simlympic Park. Alianna is also amazing. Your city is very orginal. Well done.

[Ntq€310 1]

very intresting news paper!

[balkair 6]

The Imperial Ministry of Tourism has launched a tourist campaign for the Shalman Empire, and a series of posters were printed and posted in several cities, in and out of the COFR. Some of the posters:

(Yes, my presented pictures on my updates will look like that from now on )

mrbombit - thank you, we try to keep a storyline going on at the COFR! (Of course we are the bad guy, but oh well )

newyorkrunaway1 - as I said, its all one satanic plan by the fascist government of the Shalman Empire, which overthrew the elected government a year ago!

Gn_leugim - Thanks! I was actually going for Puerto Rican style, as Ray is Puerto Rican (I think lol). The Cathedral I found on STEX - i think i searched for florence!

jacqulina - thank you Appreciate your comments!

art128 - Thanks a lot!

Artur_001 - Thank you too! The simlympic park has changed though, my old stadium makes the game crash so I replaced it with that *FABULOUS* stadium you see as my last picture on this post!

Ntq$310 - thanks I'll include our acceptance in the AFDES in the next issue of The Imperial

[Schulmanator 5,813]

Very nice! A great place for the Simlympics!

[GreekMan 246]

Woah!!I can't believe i missed this CJ. No offence but the begining of this Cj was not good(pics) but look at you! Adding contrast and you won the simlympics! congrads

Greeks are taking over! Long live the Greeks!

[anarchy0029 2]

Wonderful pics. Like I said I look forward to compete in the Simlympics.

[Craig91 12]

The pictures are nice but I think you may have saturated the colours a little too much

[n-m-2k8-yeah 0]

Doing Great Mate! I love the new stadium it is much larger than the old one and goes far better with the whole park! Holidian athletes can't waitr to visit Ylmeria!

YOU KNOW MY NAME BY NOW

[Ntq€310 1]

looking great, where did you get that stadium in that last pic, and your main simlympic soccor stadium? they both do wonders for your areas!
