The city maps are great. Aside from the lack of street names, they look just like something I could find on Google Maps. It's also nice to see how all our cities manage to have distinct character to them even with the lack of custom buildings in CXL.

[Jesse Swiss 6]

[Slashback 136]

This looks good, and i don't even play CXL because i think the streets looks kinda "dead".

Oddly, the streets in the suburban areas in the game have more pedestrians than downtown streets do.

Yeah i think so to but i dont know if i have the patience or the fanatsy to name all of them, i'm thinking about just naming the larger ones. What do you think about that?

[luddmamm 3]

 I'm having alot in school right now so i wont be able to play that much right now. But I'm working with one little project that i will show you soon.

Here's a little teaser:

 Big changes are done in Valltom and Waterfront. Middens buildings have been changed for new and modern skyscrapers. Lots of park area and many leisure activites.

The big expansion of waterfront and Valltom has pushed the number of inhabitants close to 1 000 000, the current 940 000 is growing fast and will soon hit the million mark. The mayor has revealed that something big will be anounced the day the population hits one million. No one knows what it is but many suspect the plans of the new operahouse will be released, other think a new courthouse.

 Pics of the new bouildings:

The redesigned Valtom. The middens executives has been changed for new ofiice high rises.

The new executive high rises at Waterfront replaced some old middens executives.

Also some new buildings has been finished in the city. One observation tower to look over the beautiful city of New Marinora. A new exchange has been set up and the cash is flying in and out.

Nice update -- I love that wall of high-rises by the waterfront in 2nd picture....

[luddmamm 3]

Already a new update! 

New Marinora is now the home for 1.000.000 happy inhabitants.

At a press conference today the mayor held a looooong speech about the city. After that the Senior City Planner stepped up and revealed not one new things but four! 

A new opera house is beeing built in downtown.

Here is a rendering of the future opera house:

A new court house is also beeing built in downtown. 

A rendering:

A new area of offices are beeing planned "bahind" Waterfront and it will be a open modern middens office area.

Construction has already begun:

And a step closer to making New Marinora a super green city is the new windmill farm beeing built north of town, a little part has already been set up and the current windengines are producing power four 1/4 of the city. The goal is to power the whole city with windpower in 2015

A picture of the current wind engines:

Does Marinora have a ghetto?

[patriotizzy 0]

I think large expanses of suburbs will help it look more like Chicago, so go for it!

[Jaybyrd05 3]

Very cool still!!! It has this very "green" feel to the whole thing and that really sets it apart. Love it!

[luddmamm 3]

Well maybe not a real ghetto, but one of the nothern suburbs is only unskilled and very dirty, ill upload some pics tomorrnow.
