Experimental City Journal Preparations : Developing Internations

[Montu 0]

No you don't have to, but you can if you want.

[SIMMANIA 4]

I'm gonna wait........... Internations Team..... can you vote for the guy that you will take in the project....Fast  Because July 12, i will go to California for 2 weeks. I'm from Montreal, it's a long trip. I'm going to San Fransisco and Los Angeles, visiting these two cities.... So I won't be here for near 14 days (12 exactly)...

 

[Mickebear 2]

Alright, for me the choice is difficult, because both SIMMANIA and Kumba have given good demonstrations of their work. I am however heading towards SIMMANIA, because - eventhough building a European city is one of our goals - he has made impressive work with his Daytona Canyon, with an eye to detail, which you seldom see. So, my vote goes to SIMMANIA now. Kumba, don't be disappointed: if there are openings in the team, you'll be contacted.

Best wishes to both

Thats okay, I understand your choice and respect it. Thanks for giving me a opportunity anyways.

[petriknl 15]

mm well I am not still convinced by one of them.. I lean towards no one.. very difficult.. bu when we choose one of you you should know that the other will be our number 1 reserve player.. maybe if someone drops out (vene maybe before we will really start)

Kumba about the harsh comments.. were is a waterfront, how did the city historical developed, why are their such big gaps in your city, were is life, an for what will the tourist flock to this town?// (maybe to harsh but this is what you wanted and were did you get those nice small medditerranean style houses from?

 

And some pics (first 2: thanks GoogleEarth) maybe you can also look for inspiration to Libanon..then we can also have one or two nations with some skiresorts..Other nations for inspiration; Malta / Cyprus / Croatia / Italy / Slovenia / Spain / Portugal / Greece / Mediterranean Turkey etc....

petriknl,

Thanks for your comments and question, they have helped me tremenously.

 

 

The waterfront is at the beach, whcih isn't seen in the picture, i shall post one

 

Gaea Beach

 

 http://www.rctd.ft6.com/uploads/BeachO12.JPG align=baseline>

 

 

The city history started as a small resort city that was established on top of the hill taking advantage of the white sand beach below, eventually many people moved to the city because they loved the beach and living on the ocean. Thus the city grew. In 1851, the emperor loved to attend italian operas, but the problem was that he disliked wasting his time on the train trip back and forth between cities so he decided to establish his own opera house in his city, making his commune shorter and promised it to be the best opera house in the region which is today.

 

 

The big gaps, I'm not sure what you are referring to, but if you mean the space in the middle of the buildings, then its for people from that block to gather and just to chill out with each other. I must admit that the corner buildings wasnt to my liking, but it had to do until I could convert a corner building to a ploppable. I havent been able to get one to grow.

 

Also the tourist will flock here for the opera house performaces, and to tan in the sun on the top 20 beach, Gaea Beach, in the region, also some attraction while the tourists are there is the White Swan Paddleboats, and of course the, Flamingo Night Club. Please remember this is a small city which will not attract huge number of tourist, just a few because of the city size.

 

 

The med. buildings are from frogface, which can be found here, https://www.simtropolis.com/stex/index.cfm?mode=files&filetype=BAT&Str=mediterranean%20rowhomes%20updated

 

 

If you have any, ANY, advice to me how to build a better croatia city, please feel free to tell me, Im open to any changes.

 

 

 

Thanks.

Here's Mediteranean corners....

 

;-)

[Montu 0]

Yea, I had problems with those, I wanted to use those, but they arent ploppable, which made me use the paris corners. It would be great if someone made it ploppable.

[fredval 26]

Not so much free time on these days (me and my boss ).

My vote goes to Kumba. But both are excellent...

[Kwakelaar 92]

Hello you guys
Have you seen how many viewers you have for this thread, you have long past the 1000 and closing on 2000, that I find amazing for a CJ that hasn't actually started yet.
I am of course missing your CJ's at the moment since a few of my favourite writers are busy with this project.
Hope to see you getting started soon and again best of luck.

[fredval 26]

I've just started my training for this future CJ.

Only one pic but it's not far from I will try to do when we will have started this great project...

 

Doesn't it look like Dubrovnik ?  (Yes I know there are no roads in Dubrovnik )

[petriknl 15]

wow... very cool.. I think this cathedral is the best medditerranean we have here on ST.. maybe we need some more But I love the pic...my voting is still not certain so I will be neutral..haha

[Mickebear 2]

Fredval, your pic is absolutely adorable, A REAL Dubrovnik style!

[lilou 1]

I don't know Dubrovnik but if it is like that I want to go there rapidly.
This picture is beautiful !

When will you start this great project ?
With Mickebear, Fredval, Alkaola, MrBison, Aleking and all the other great City Journalists I can't wait anymore !

[Shadow Assassin 336]

Hmm, I know it's a bit late, but am I able to join or something?

In advance, here is my latest city:

and a mosaic:

If I don't get accepted, I understand. So there's no problem.
edit: Forgot: This is an excellent project and is very ambitious, I'd love to be a part of it.

Cheers,

Continuing to work further on this end.

 

About the voting, congratulations to SIMMANIA, now the team is complete with 11 members. I will post more later today, with the complete list of players, and next phase, which is to decide on who wants which region map to play.

 

Hugs

 

Mickebear

 

PS:

 

Kumba, thanks for competing with us, you have done a good job. I will answer to your PM later, ok?

ShadowAssasin: Sorry, the competition deadline went over, and you are a bit too late. Your city is good though, congratulations!

[Shadow Assassin 336]

Ahh.

That looks to be an interesting map to build on - good luck with the Internations.

[petriknl 15]

Go Tijn21!! Huge thanks dude for making the maps so this project can start... SUPER

[Mickebear 2]

I am also so happy for that Tijn21 agreed to make the map. I am luckily finishing my CJ now, and can start to concentrate fully on this project. I though of putting some lots together for us all to share. If you could do the same, that would be greatly appreciated

[petriknl 15]

Mika.. can you explain this to me... also I was working on a touristcity and I was feeling something was missing. Then I realize we don't have European campings... so can someone make some lots with caravans, tents, a toiletbuilding etc...? Please

[Mickebear 2]

Patrick, that is a great idea, but of course! Camping areas - I never thought of it. And it is SO Mediterranean... where are all the tourists in our project???

[petriknl 15]

DUH LOL ... there are also some hotels available but the most of them are big american hotels.. altough I love the 'new' artdeco hotels by deadwoods for exapmle but yes campings are so European-tourist like.. just as some small appartementbuildings maybe...

But for this camping:

-lots with tents /caravans

-toiletbuilding

-swimmingpool (mmm what about a simpel municipal swimmingpool...)

-reception

-supermarket

-bar / restaurant

-paths

-ehhh... more ideas?

 

Maybe also some governmental buildings like..a variety in cityhalls (small/big historical/modern), state departements, courthouses, customsoffice, immigrationoffice, state services etc etc.

[Mickebear 2]

hehehe, I think that Patrick and I need seriously to learn to BAT... I don't think anybody else would do these for us (with exceptions of mrbisonm and Fredval...)

[petriknl 15]

Some mediterranean teaser.. what do you think?
