[petriknl 15]

I would love to claim D, who wants to be my neighbours?

[Mickebear 2]

So, D for petriknl... next?

[Alkaola 18]

I want B oh this gonna be great

[Mickebear 2]

So, B for Alkaola... great, you get to build Rijeka area (or whatever it will be called in your CJ )

Glad to see this moving along, I was wondering if one of the square on the map repesented 1 large tile city or what? How big is this thing?

[petriknl 15]

well Kumba I was wondering to.. is it possible to combine four medium sized cities into one large tile? (tijn21??)

[____----____ 37]

hey give me which ever i love a challenge

i just pm'd u mick

[Montu 0]

It is possible to convert 4 med. to 1 large, it is just a matter of changing the colors on the blueprint.

 

BTW I sent u a pm petriknl

[Mickebear 2]

Simmania sent message that he would like to have the map E. And because Aleking is happy with anything, I gave F for him. And I (Mickebear) use my right to reserve G (I am going there for holidays in September...)

[NicolaiS 8]

Whatever tile is free is okay by me ... and I just send you a PM Mickebear with the eamail address.

 

Nic.

[petriknl 15]

So.. how about a name for this region of Nations....???

[NicolaiS 8]

Date: 7/25/2005 8:43:23 AM Author: petriknl So.. how about a name for this region of Nations....???

quote>

 

I suggest: barathrum  ... latin for underworld.

[petriknl 15]

mm Nicolais, isnt it better to do a ehh lighter name, but I like the idea of some sort of Latinword, but we can also use real names and combine it ect. I would suggest Illistria, Adriata, Dalistria, or something like that??

[fredval 26]

I would be happy with the H but any other would suit me well.

 

For the name, I suggest Istria

 

[SIMMANIA 4]

How about Estria...

 

Estrina..... Heldorea.... Ollartha... Jinoghe... Annisteria...

 

 

I'm really glad with E!

 

I will be the most powerfull nation of the no name chosed yet !!!!!! Everybody would be in the obligation to pass in my territories to go where they want... But also I would need to build a lot of bridges... Something like a upper T connections.....

 

Finally I'm not sure but I think pikatchoum would be happy with the H map......

[Mickebear 2]

Hi guys,

Super news, Tijn21 will be ready with the maps (yes, all of them) by end of this week. This is also a giant project for him, as he crafts them all as one map first and only then cuts them into pieces.

 

This is RAW version of the area, a very small thumbnail. But at least you can see how the whole region might look like. And the map J has received more islands so that it is more interesting to build.

 

Tijn21 will remove the mountains from the left and center (or actually change them to hills).

 

So, here is our baby:

 

https://www.simtropolis.com/idealbb/files//Internations%20Project_thumbST.jpg align=baseline>

 

So, Fredval for H, NicolaiS for C (ok for you? You can still change). There are still lots A, I, J, K left, and we haven't heard of mrbisonm (but he said when project began that he is happy with anything), Artorius, baro and pikatchoum. I suppose it is holidays for the rest now.

[petriknl 15]

Wow, that looks amazing... tijn21 : SUPER BEDANKT ECHT TE GEK!!! (sorry guys this was needed to say it in Dutch) Simmmania,, bridges.. mm we are poor nations when we begin (I think thats cool to see us develop to a really prosperous region of nations?) so I would love to have many ferryconnection, maybe first owned by national companies but later on with privatizing and one big open market we could have big private firms.. ow I got so many ideas..

Something to begin with a I or E should be cool, what about for the begintime period the ECIN (Economic Community of the I... Nations) ??

[Mickebear 2]

I think we owe a lot to Tijn21, so why not calling our area Estrtijn?

[petriknl 15]

Istrina? Wow I think this sounds cool

[SIMMANIA 4]

I think the same way as you but if I have a strategical position I can grow a little bit faster than others, by creating small jobs. After ferries a small covered bridge and evolution and evolution....... But.... More traffic, replacing the small bridge with a larger. More industries, more residential. Exportations by a small seaport, another villages develloping through the small city...... They grow and they grow. A new railway connecting other nations by passing here, some advantages. Evolution. A new municipal airport........ Grow and grow. Small villages grow and are annexed to the main city. A new town is growing on the border...... etc.....

 

But we are poor at th beginning but after we came a littre bit more powerfull. But what we need is that every members build instinctivly and not prepare all land. Build one city by one, build everything without order..... Build all roads and after zooming. If it's possible I think that would be a great idea that every nations grow a little bit by a little bit and that we get stronger and don't invest big. Just, create a new commercial deal, a new industry in town. Something like what we see in isolated medium size cities (50 000 - 100 000)!

 

What everybody think?

[gurrgkud 2]

Hmmm... i think ill watch.  I cant wait to see how this is gonna turn out

[mrbisonm 1,620]

Sorry, that I haven't been here often. I am working, then on vacation, and working again .....well I'll be going on vacation also in a week....dohhhh!

 

Mickebear, did you get my e-mail address? Not sure the page freaked out a little after and the internet crashed on me.

Just give me any map that is on the border or elsewhere, your choice. I am sure that I'll make something nice out of it.

 

Btw, Great work you all have been doing, this project is well started and probably will be a hit!

 

mrb

 

 Edit: Oh....and don't worry, I will ready when you all are!

[Mickebear 2]

Hi mrbisonm, and happy to see you back. What would you say on map A? And yes, I got your email address - you'll be hearing from me end of this week.

That leaves us with three more people that haven't picked up their maps yet: baro, pikatchoum and Artorius...

[newyorkrunaway1 110]

well, this one is coming along, you dont see many multi-player regions make it, in fact, i have never seen one actually done, just a bunch f people sign up, and poof, its gone and not to be heard from except the occasional $%&^! signing up not realizing that it is dead. congrats people, keep it up!!!

[petriknl 15]

Yeah mrbisonm, nice to see you as my northern neighbour, I hope we can develop some good relations in the future.

Simmania; YES I think you got it right

 

BTW I putting my name for the region of all nations to the polls.... ISTRINA (pronounced as IES-TRIE-NAA) - poll only for members btw that will be more logical don't you think?

 

I hope when the remaining three members will have their nations we could negotiate on some aspects, and we can pm some tought about our nations; language, governmentstyle, flag, symbols, capital, etc etc.

 

I would be very happy to make a regional history of Istrana, in which the history of the nations should fit, so if you have some ideas, I shoulds say: send me a pm..

 

All other people who respondend: Nice to see you like this project so far, thanks!

[NicolaiS 8]

Mickebear:

Map C is fine by me ... looking forward to start building.

 

 

I have seen some very nice names, and Istrina sounds great. The suggestion to include Tijn21's name is a very nice thought. I can not start to imagine how much work it is to create all these regions ( dankjewel Tijn voor een geweldige kaart ). Therefor I suggest that we all name at least one of our city tiles to Tijn, that way during the cj posts his name will be mentioned a lot of Tijnes ( times )

 

Petrik:

 

I would like to participate in writing a regional history of our bunch of countries. If you like to share the workload on that issue I will gladly participate.

 

Also, start building slowly and let the countries develope in an organic way, is exactly the way I planned building my country; complete with its history and all. I plan to show the entire nation building in the cj and the entire developement of the country economicly, transport wise, historicly and politicly.

 

When the cj hits the board and gets tons of visitors I have an idea to get others to participate in the cj, but I have to work that out a bit more before I can present it.

 

As far as I can see now this is already a success and I am confident that it will be an enormous success in the time to come. I feel that we have a group of dedicated people working on the best multi-player region's in the making.
