This seems liek an interesting project. I'll watch out for this one.

[petriknl 15]

Nice pics Mickebear.. I love the idea of a Croation coastlike Union.. About the highways, roads etc.. we can do this by counting the tiles in your bordercities. Eg I make a highwayconnection in San Fernando dell Moraz at 26 tiles from the nortthernedge than the other nation has to make a conection in the 27th and 28th tile of the city at the other side of the border.. so all connections has to be negotiated about, also about international ferry lines.

Btw I love the birghtgreen and red nations on the west

[Mickebear 2]

I finally have a moment to reply... looks like there is a lot of work to do in the coming days.

First of all thanks to all that have encouraged us to play the game - and to those that have been a bit critical of the absence of the all star cast. While I cannot talk on behalf of all the members of the group - I do believe that mrbisonm is one of the most reputed ones here. But hey, time will show, whether we can make it or not...

response to Fredval and Petriknl: I totally agree with Patrick that you must clearly calculate tiles when there is eg a motorway (but also a normal road or railway) being built over the region borders. Only way that I can think of is to calculate the tiles from the bottom (left or right)/top (left or right). And of course, negotiations to be shown in the CJ itself.

response to people wondering if they could join in. I would like to have a team vote on the matter. I suggest that you cast your votes in PM, to avoid funny comments in the thread.

 

Also, if you feel that we are not moving fast enough, and want to get out - you can drop out any time you like. Just please inform us here - so that nobody is waiting for your answer for ever and ever.

response in general on the concept: when this CJ will be published, all the players will be posting in the same thread, and I would agree with mrbisonm that 1 update/person/week should be enough. Of course, if we have, say 10-12 players, the are several updates a day. Also remember, you are free to use cheats, if you wish to do so - but please be reasonable. If the Croatian coast is what you are all for, there are no skyscraper forests in real life there, hehehe.

Questions to the team: petriknl, I can supply the satellite images of the whole region, but could you agree with tijn21 to him actually to make it for us? What do you think, do you want to have same kind of layout of your posted messages, or at least a common element that you would be using? Feel free to say no... Other things??? Please bring them up here.

[petriknl 15]

I agree with Mickebear and Mika can you explain your question? I dont get it all I guess (pm me..)

[Montu 0]

Mikebear, sounds good, may I suggest that the peoples who wants to be in the internations, to show their works to help the people decide who to pick? I can show mine work on thursday, that's when I get back from my cabin, thanks.

Sory for the hiccups

[Montu 0]

Sorry for the triple post, I'm having bad connection here and that caused the hiccups

[SIMMANIA 4]

I'm really interested to participate to that project!

[1234 0]

COOL IDEA! Like the map you've drawn there!

PS; Mickebear, is there a way you can join?

[Mickebear 2]

Since there has been several requests of how to join - and since there are 1 or 2 maps still free, I second the idea where the work of the applicants be shown on the thread. Since the rest of the group isn't necessarily building skyscrapers, try to convince us with some realism...

[petriknl 15]

Yes, we want to see some really realistic cities, because competition is heavily I have the idea so ... let us show your best accomplishments..!!

[Mickebear 2]

Alright, I will have finally more time to spare this weekend, so I am looking really at the maps, I think that is the first big step here. I will attach here a satellite image for each region, then you know how your region might look like from the satellite, when you built it [:0]...

[SIMMANIA 4]

Hello. So I will present what I did to help us to choose between the people that want to participate for the 1-2 last maps....

 

So I have one city, a big city but I really try to make it nice. It isn't really realist, I can agree but it was began 15 January 2003, one day after the release of Simcity 4. I also builded another city named Tulsk, that city is more realist. It have 120 000 sims and we easilly can see the medium rise to the low rise and the suburbs. I'm trying to be better and I decided to build my suburbs in my bigger city. So I will present my best thing I made. Let's begin with DaytonaCanyton, my bigger city:

 

So first one really realist thing I made is the Yannafields Intl', all is at scale, the landing strips are based on the A large map equals 4km So the strips are petween 2000 meters and 3700 meters, a realist distance for airplanes to land. There are 6 Terminals plus 3 regionals and nationals terminals. So let's present the airport. I know it's big but the there's 13 millions of sims in the region so that's why I builded an airport that is as big as LAX or Dever Intl'.

 

The airport:

You always can see 50 Screens of the airport there, at the DC thread:

Here's the south suburb of DaytonaCanyon:

I will put more screenshots because I don't have enough time to show you other things from Tulsk and DaytonaCanyon...

[Mickebear 2]

I'd say Simmania is on, eh?

[SIMMANIA 4]

Just one thing. I know my regio is medium-ugly but all was builded before 1st January 2005 except for 6-7 cities (including the airport) and I want to say that if I'm on the project I will build things like the airport and low-rise/medium rise only... Because I'm very tired of all my region and infinite high rise everywhere.... It doesn't look very good....

 

If you want more screens just tell me...

[Mickebear 2]

Kumba, you have also made some excellent work!

[petriknl 15]

Simmania: Can you show me/us a small quiet European looking city? maybe a beachtown or touristspot..let your imagination flow...

[NicolaiS 8]

First of all ... my apologies to both Mickebear and Petriknl by not responding to their initial pm's to me. I have had some RLS and couldn't find the time to be online enough to respond to this great idea.

As I have messaged Patrick before I am interested in the concept of this cj and would gladly participate, as things in RL has slowed down again for the next two months.

 

As an example of my work in realism I am posting a link to my cj here on ST named Graafsticht. You can find the link in my sig.

 

That cj will have a restart soon and had to be stopped temporarily because of before mentioned circumstances.

 

Hope to see you all soon again.

 

Nic.

 

[petriknl 15]

good to hear things are going better.. maybe when this project will be further on the way (lets say the end of july) we could see how wants and who doesn't want to be a memberstate...

Why not ?  Though it doesn't look typically Croatian in my point of view

Fredvale: Just look theses screens...

 

So here's screenshots of some cities I builded I like:
