nice city, looking forward to the metropolis!

[nottheboss 1]

ooh very pretty, i hope your reproduction skills are up to the job

[Jay Ess 15]

Thanks everyone! Didn't expect it to be so popular so quickly

As for the hills, it is infact northwest of Orlando. It is meant to be in the Horseshoe Beach area along the Gulf of Mexico. Most of my inspiration for the less dense areas come from the Clermont area in Lake County, as that's where I stayed during my vacation to Florida. I am planning for the terrain to have alot of variety, however. Most of the more southern cities will have a swampy, hilled terrain; while the northern cities (closer to Downtown) will have a mostly flat terrain with some dips and hills every few square miles. Nonetheless, all are filled with many lakes and winding rivers

Kryptowhite: Those are SimFox's Mayor Mode trees. They are a pain to fill the city tile with but the end result is great in my opinion
