Welcome to the city of Domascus,

Population: 325,000

The city was founded in 1066 by the normans, in 1288 the city was invaded by the romans and built what is dominantly the "old town", including domascus cathedral and many of the older streets.

Today Domascus residents are huge rugby and soccer fans, it has the reputation as the sporting capital of the country and its no wonder why it has been given the privilage to host the world cup.

some pics,

Some pics of the "old town", this part as you can see is still very much the bustling place it was hundreds of years ago, despite it being out of the city centre.

World Cup Campus under construction

This is the campus of Domascus University

This picture shows the Domascus Tunnel which connects the northern bank to the city, the world cup campus can be seen on the right hand side.

Hope you enjoyed! i will post more soon!

I'm diggin this

Your city looks well planned. I am very impressed with your city planning.

[Cob92 360]

I love how the cathedral dominates the skyline rather than the usual skyscraper clump. Domascus is very unique,and the university is certainly very intricately planned.

Cool city! Superiour. The only thing I do not like very much is the look of the World Cup Campus. In my opinion there are too many stadia. I'd prefer one or two stadia it makes it a bit more realistic. Hope this helps you out.

Cool thanks guys, im working on the city now, i think it will be tomorrow until pics are updated.

On the local news developers have been saying that even though there is a world wide recession, there should be enough development for the next 10 years, the city has a huge demand for unskilled workers, and so theres a masterplan to carry out a huge project for council housing, local residents are not happy with this but developers say that they will try and integrate the council areas into the city as best as possible, so we will have to see!

Where the world cup campus is concerned, i had thought in lowering the amount of stadiums but the city is the sporting capital of the country and holds the national stadium as well as the regional rugby and football stadium which will be used for concert events in the future so i think it was adequate haha!

keep the comments coming!

[jazyje 1]

Stadiums are all perhaps fine, but you really don't have enough parking spaces around them to accommodate all the sports fans....

Ok just a small update here, population is now at 535,000.

Here are a few update pics, i will be showing the dodgy low skilled area located on the outskirts of town, also the traffic map and aerial views to get an idea on the scale of the place, for now here are some shots of the city centre

Domascus City Library

Domascus City Court house

One of the many new commercial office blocks under construction around the centre of town

AMAZINGLY realistic.....!!!!

BTW, how did you get those construction pictures???

[limerickguy 0]

thanks man, they are from the blueprints, they take a while to construct and are built in phaises, i think it adds to the realism this way! iv some more shots to put up..

Population is now at 607,556

As promised, here are some shots of the council, loe wealth estate.

more to come very soon!

[limerickguy 0]

im guessing not very many people use this as there are not too many comments..or maybe the town isnt good?! haha more updates soon!

[Damastius 5]

Great update dude. I didn't know you posted a new one!

[Lordy Lord 0]

Cool update, though I liked the town better when it's skyline was dominated by it's cathedrals.

[jj88 23]

[hotChocolate 95]

Amazing! Which map are you on, BTW?

[limerickguy 0]

[limerickguy 0]

thanks! its "the great lake" from the new mods..

Here is a journey i went on, it starts off going plane spotting by the airport, then i go accross the Domascus Memorial Bridge, through the low residential housing estates at the edge of the city, then through some of the main parts of the city centre to city hall, hope you enjoy!

ok looking at a couple planes from the great plaane spotting site, the airport carries all types of planes from the typical boeing 737

To the airbus A380

One of the multistory car parks outside the airport

The main road leading out of the airport with the hotels

Ahead you can see the bridge and downtown

On the left you can see the harbours and port

After the bridge you follow the road, already you are at the edge of the city

Keep following the road, downtown is still far away, the buildings are just tall!

At the end of the road you turn right

Keep following the road and turn left, you are now entering the edge of downtown

At the end of the road turn right

Follow down the road and turn left

Now we are down town, notice Domascus mall on the right

At the end of the road turn left

Keep going down here, notice the roads are much busier and there are loads of people around!

Turn left by the royal hotel

Turn left by the car park

Finally arrive at city hall

Domascus International Airport, looking at terminal 1

Eastern Tunnel going from the airport to the northern district including the university

The airport and harbor are very good. I like how you managed to get the three docks lined up almost perfectly. I also see that you've put some skyscrapers into your downtown. The construction pics were realistic, but I hope that this doesn't mean that Domascus will become yet another skyscraper megalopolis.

[limerickguy 0]

dont worry cobhris96, domascus is a well thought out city, it has designated areas for different things, the only major development in downtown will be improved infrustructure and more ancient landmarks, this city will be epic!

[Skimbo 304]

Nice pictures, I like them

[Jesse Swiss 6]

[limerickguy 0]

thanks guys, i'll update you later on more of the city centre remodeling and some of the newest suburbs

[TowerDude 2,186]

Well done!

[Jesse Swiss 6]

lookin good!

ok so heres an update overlooking the whole city so far, at the moment the population is 1,486,009

Some Aerial Views of the City with downtown clearly visible

Traffic is ok around the whole city but as you can see the city centre is quite heavy during peak times eventhough there is a huge bus service

This is the northern suburban town which contains the university, domascus industrial estate and a town centre, it is almost completly self contained, it is served by two tunnels connecting to downtown and domascus international

Here are views of the low class areas, these are now ageing areas that would be considered "no go" areas, very dangerous but are concentrated in their own areas
