Siberia

[penguin007 27]

Well this is my return to city journalling/ writing my mayor's diary and so this maybe slightly rusty but I'm looking forward to writing one again and this time it should be even better than before!! In case you have no idea who I am I have been the author of past journals Ancelstierre and Ratislava. So lets begin and I can't wait to meet some of my old friends again (you know who you are!!).

Below is an aerial photo of the region that has been chosen for development:

I hope you enjoyed this introduction and will visit again soon!!

Cool map! I am glad to see you back and active again in the CJs.

[SounderBruce 173]

This will be an interesting scifi CJ...I will be here often.

[Za 164]

Hm, I have a feeling that this is going to be an interesting one... A wonderful map to build on and I look forward to seeing how this goes

[DCMetro34 576]

Yes, awesome set up! You region is very detailed, as well!

[Roger51 381]

Wonderful map and intro, can't wait to see where you go with this cj.

[ankhor1 0]

what about the finno-ugric and other siberian peoples living there? 

[lucky7 73]

Oh, this is truly an interesting concept you have here. I like it and your background info in the introduction is very logical. An interesting point is ankhor1's viewpoint- it would be quite an effort to incorporate the native peoples in the area, also to get a new - and social - approach to the story, as deportation has never paid off... .

Looking very much forward to further updates, good luck,

I'm excited that you're back! Looking forward to seeing what you come up with, I always thought Ancelstierre was great

[penguin007 27]

Hello guys 1st proper sim city update is today and I hope you're as excited as I am!! Thank you very much for the comments from everyone really appreciated!!

Benedict: Thank you very much my friend, yes it is a shame that Ancelstierre has finished but it didn't really have a future once I'd left it for that long.

lucky7: Thanks for the comment yes it will be interesting although I wasn't entirely accurate in my introduction but hey its fiction!!

ankhor1: Thanks for the compliment, on the subject of the finno-ugric people I hadn't really thought of them but great to see people challenging my background like that!!

Roger51: Thanks!!

DCMetro34: Thanks definately a theme that the general consensus is that you guys like the region!!

Za: Great to see you again my friend and yes it will be an interesting journey for all of us.

ComputerGuy890100: Thank you very much I'm not sure it will be scifi exactly everything will look pretty much the same as it is today I think.

Schulmanator: Thank you very much my friend!!

crazychickensc12: Thanks, you should enjoy todays update then

Nicely done. That's a lot of work for a road... I am eager to see its construction completed.

[Benedict 3,119]

I love those cottages shown in the logging picture.

[whiteshark365 563]

Good storyline so far. The cottages and dirt roads are very detailed. The road construction was great addition to the storyline so far. I am eager to see where the development will go now that the road is built.

[penguin007 27]

whiteshark365: Thank you very much glad you appreciate all the little details

Benedict: thank you very much my friend

Schulmanator: Thank you very much again not sure how long it will take to be completed but it could be a long wait!!

Victor Valdes: Thanks

ComputerGuy890100: Thanks

Next update  should be in the next couple of days so I shall see you all again then

[Za 164]

Great first update; the village looks very well-done, though I hope no one hits the "end of the road" at night

[Roger51 381]

Those are some awsome screen shot, with some program altering the image, however very nice.

[tostartpressanykey 2]

wow! this is nice! however i must disagree with the US being decimated, how about... Greenland! ya!

[drx.94 0]

I can't wait to see how this story continues!

Great work until now!

[Follarch 326]

Beautiful work with the village and road winding through the lowlands. This is a very great start to developing a beautiful region.

I've actually seen that region before on the STEX, great choice and good luck building society in it!

[Gilikov1994 4]

Hmm, sounds good..

I like East-European/Russian CJ's

[penguin007 27]

Gilikov1994: thank you very much and yes I agree these cjs have always intrigued me.

Archean: Thank you very much for the lovely comment and yes the region really did catch my eye showing the STEX still does it!! Also thank you very much for the help about the technical hitch.

drx.94: Thanks my friend and welcome to the comunity!!

tostartpressanykey: Thanks haha well not much in Greenland though is there!!

Roger51: Thanks its paint.net in case anyone is interested does everything I need it to do and its free

Za: Thanks yes you wouldnt want to hit that would you

Thats it for now folks hope you enjoyed that!!

Fantastic small settlement. My favorite picture is the close up of the fields on either side of the road - perfect rural peacefulness.

[Follarch 326]

Such a small yet beautiful town. I can already see many more housing developments going up around it, that being the town center.

Great story, great beginning to what could be a very good City Journal.

[Schulmanator 5,787]

This is coming along well - the town is off to a great start

[SounderBruce 173]

Very nice village! I especially like the under construction home near the petrol station.

[Jamonbread 222]

This is a really cool and great looking CJ! Look forward to more!
