TmiguelT: Thanks! Ohhh yeah, I put a lot of work into that port, especially with all the freezing that's been going on. But the game's running much better then before so it's FINALLY finished.

Korot: I can name the rivers i wanted to. Would you like the rivers to be named as well?

Evillions: Well I'm not sure if you can tell from the region shot, but that city is loaded with custom content, just enough for my tastes, and I always am adding little by little as time goes on.

Korot²: I was, but adding a gig of ram to an already installed 512 MB did make things a lot better.

Djohaal: Thank you for the compliment.

And actually the game renders the shadows just fine, I just don't have them turned on to the fullest or even average. I don't want the game trying to working too hard while I'm trying to work as well. lol

Korot³: Nope, you are not mistaken.

Update 38 | Region's Halfway Done

Ever since I got the gig of RAM for the computer, playing has been SO much better and I've been able to work more during a single session of gameplay. Now today, I've added four more tiles to the bottom edge of the region, making it a 16x24 Region, my biggest I've ever made.

I've accomplished four main cities, the seaport and the airport. Left to go basically is seven more cities.

Glad the RAM worked, and the new region is looking great. The Executive may sneak in a visit, say, in a few weeks .

[Chptrk 86]

Ooooo looking good! Glad to see that you got the RAM problem fixed. Can't wait for more!

[Korot 6]

See, I told you that adding RAM would work.

Nice region BTW.

Regards,

Korot

It's good to see you can play again!

The region looks great. I'm looking forward to when it's filled up with development!

[Zelgadis 638]

"Halfway done..."

Heh, from my point of view, you have barely gotten started. But you know me and how I like to fill everything up with lots and lots of skyscrapers.

So, in that case, if this is "half" then it'll be interesting to see what you do with the other half.

Update 39 | Dehya City Finished

I've been continuing my development of the new Follomer, and tonight I've finished the northern most city on the coastline, Dehya City which is the replacement of Dehyesha City in the old Follomer region. In the old one I had combined a small city with a large town feel, but here of course, i went all out.

The mountain north of the lake is of course the replacement for Mt. Terrisia.

Now the new Dehya City is popularly known for three things. It's uniquely built sunken highways, its uniquely built sunken railway, and of course, the very large blue future tower.

Here's the central train station. This is the only spot where the sunken railway shows up, the rest of the line is tunnel under the city. The same style is with the highways, however the tunnels are shorter and the sunken stretches are more common.

This is possibly my favorite place in Dehya, the transition in elevation. Instead of leaving a hill here with a large gap, I decided to put my retaining walls to use, and terrace it, filling the gaps with grass lots and nice trees. The outcome i thought looks gorgeous, especially with the stores at the top and houses at the bottom.

Replies coming soon.

Nice network especialy the below ground rail! You just have to work on the suburban waterfront now.

[TmiguelT 10]

wow !! Another great update... The all new Follomer is forming very well... I really like your sunken highway and trail system. I'll be waiting for more

[Follarch 327]

danielcote: Thank you! I worked hard on those sunken networks you won't believe.

TmiguelT: Thanks! This new Follomer is far from done though, lots more work to do. Thanks!

Update 40 | Night Shots Around Follomer

While doing my Story CJ and gathering pics for another update, I decided to take some night screens of various cities, since I had re-updated the game with the nightlight patch (for I think the tenth time).

St. Krist City is the new Capital city of the country, and is of course, the biggest.

Coming in second for this update is the new Tessabri city located in central Follomer. I tried a new approach with this one. Laid out the roads as usual, except this time the center of the city has three highways coming together, and right in the middle are the highrises. And then brancing out in all directions is commercial and residential homes. Must say this city took much effort in it's development.

And third is a much small scale city, but very scenic. I LOVE the rail overpass I built over the highway, and then then the thing I love most is the small residential island I made up north, with sandy beaches and retaining walls to make it a very highclass/highwealth living neighborhood. This city was named Naomi.

[Schulmanator 5,813]

These are some great pix - it is a nice city. Looking good

[Keegan V50 15]

Great night shots there archey!!,love how you terraform those islands my friend!

all the best

[TmiguelT 10]

Full awesomeness ... Excellent Work there my friend. The New Follomer is all about Great Cities and Great Suburbs Keep it up !

Update 41 | Dehya City At Night

The completed Dehya City metropolis center at DARK night. I messed around with the contrast to get a much better "night" pic for you. The lights amazingly look much more "out there" when the contrast is changed. The game really should have this option if you want a screenshot, but I can see how you might not be able to see well with this level of darkness.

But anyway, theres one of the big cities at night along the waterfront, with the bridges in the bottom right corner.

[TmiguelT 10]

the city looks very well organize ... i miss to see more updates here..

[Korot 6]

Do you know that gizmo has released a mod that also darkens the city? A lot more than SC4 at least. Don't know where to find it though, but it will make your default night shots look a lot more like this one, witch is beautiful.

Regards,

Korot

[Chptrk 86]

Night shot! My favorite! Looks great!

[jacqulina 162]

amazing night shots there my friend

[astronelson 339]

*picks jaw off floor

Excellent, Archean! I love those night shots!
