The actual release of the Tram Mod should be very soon (they sad Mid March). Then everyone should be able (who have the mod) to create puzzle-pieces for crossroads etc.

I think I can survive very long without the industry, if I have enough freight to buy it. I'm currently buying about 12 tokens manufacturing and 10 industry tokens.

Have you had a chance to organize the trolley routes yet? We want to see!!!

@ Jazye: had to finish my PARK and organise my TRAMS ( ) . And no. I really don't know sorry.

Hello, here is a small update, update 2.1! In this update, I'm going to show you the first developement stage of the new district. In this update: Greenman's Park and the tramline.

Update 3 will follow after I get back from London, which will be about next friday.

This is Greenman's Park. The Pond is finished, but the surroundings are still in developement. There is a tram going through the park, around the pond. Notice the flats in the back

Here are some shots of the trams in my city!

One in Greenman's park:

One going out of the park back into the city:

And here one running through what is going to be a new housing estate:

Sorry for the very small update. In update 3 I'll promise to have more pictures, because I hope the have finished the new district by then .   

I'll go to London this monday and will be back at friday. Hope it's going to be a lot of fun!

Feel free to comment. Hope you've enjoyed this mini-update.

LOVE THE TRAMS!!!! In the last photo, the tram will look MUCH better when the area is populated on the west side (left side of the image). The first photo is a classic with those high-rises behind the lake -- reminds me of Chicago or Minneapolis..... By the way, how do you shape your lakes into circles -- mine works as a plaza/park and only fills in space in-between actual roads... Can you draw lakes like you draw roads... -- I think I'm missing a clue here....

PS> So when you use the tram mod, your buses are gone? (replaced by trams?)....

[Damastius 5]

When having the tram mod, the tram will replace the normal Bus, not the mini- or doubledecker bus.

I make lakes by just making a circle of a road and place the plaza in between.

[Skimbo 304]

hehe, nice little lake

OK, so once you make the lake, you DELETE the circling road?

[Damastius 5]

yep, but when placing bushes around it you have to be VERY careful you don't delete the lake by placing a bush there

Waiting patiently for Full Update #3.... !!!

I love your road connections (highways,interchanges, etc etc)

[Damastius 5]

Thanks

I'm back from London! Nice city! (Bit busy, lol) Nice buildings it has and loved the Big Ben and the Natural History Museum! Updates on the city will follow soon!

[jazyje 1]

OK OK, London is 'OK' but let's see an update of NEW LEOPOLIS!!!! Get to it now! LOL

[Damastius 5]

Intro for tomorrows update.

New Leopolis has signed a contract with Sunset City. The contract shows that Sunset City is buying 5 squared kilometres from New Leopolis to build a farming community at the other side of the river. It now has 800 citizens.

Also, the contract says that:

- New Leopolis gets 100.000.000C;

- New Leopolis will have 20% of the profit Sunset City earns from the farming community, but that...

New Leopolis will take care of the transport services. It is building a highway at the moment.

- Sunset City may buy an extra 5 squared kilometres (125.000.000C) for future expansion.

This contract will have a very positive effect on New Leopolis. "We can use the money to build the highway and finish the new office park near the CBD. New Leopolis will have a economic boost!"

More info and pictures will follow tomorrow.

Update 3!

As mentioned above, New Leopolis and Sunset City have signed a contract. Some information about Sunset City:

It is a large city at the coast of planet Damadan (The same planet as Leopolis is, ofcourse) and it has 248.000 citizens. Some pictures of the city:

-

Now, the new settlement. It now has 1500 citizens and 650 of it works on the farms. The others are working at the offices in New Leopolis. Therefore New Leopolis has build a highway. It's already quite busy!

The highway. You can see Downtown NL in the back.

This is the new intersection.

The main street in the new settlement:

--

Two hotels have been opened near Greenman's Lake.

A picture, looking towards the lake:

-

Appartements have been build along the tramline. It looks very good.

Also, a new office district is developing near Downtown NL.

-

This is Burson Freeway, the busiest road in the city.

 

Big plans are in discussion to prevent traffic jams as much as possible. Which one do you like best?

- Transforming it into a bridge, so the housing estate roads are linked together under it;

- Making a tunnel running underneath the original one.

Here's NL at this moment:

This was update 3, hope you enjoyed the update.

Dont forget to give your opinion about Burson Freeway!
