Chrisopolis

Welcome to Chrisopolis, a new city that I have big plans for.  Located on the peninsula map I'm using XL2011, with no cheats.  I will try to make Chrisopolis as real as possible, I want to avoid using lots of copies of buildings to try and create a unique realistic feel rather than an 'over the top' look.  Its based on an American city and will probably start of with heavy industry and agriculture, but the plan eventually would be to have lots of high tech companies and tourist attractions.

Here's a planned map showing the concept.  The main core of the city will be on the central part of the peninsula.

And a few screenshots, nothing dramatic so far, just the start of a very small town.

Good job on the naming of the different sections of the map. Also I like your last picture a lot! How did you add the clouds?

Great layout or i mean future layout! This can look very good in development!

Thanx for comments - the clouds were from a photo and merged in Photoshop.  

Chrisopolis is slowly growing.  I'm concentrating on the Downtown and Central area and gradually expanding north along the peninsula towards the Neck.  View of Cabot Avenue, the main road that links the city together and runs along the Eastern portion of Central and Eastside.

City Hall - Placed at the junction of commercial downtown and the one day upmarket area of Central.

The Chamberlin Hotel, a mid range hotel, the cities tallest building to date in Downtown.

Downtown at night.  Nothing dramatic to see as of yet.

Unfortunately Chrisopolis crashes everytime i try and load it. Found the below which describes my problem, although I'm not sure how to go about resolving it.

Game crashes at Loading Screen - If your game crashes at the loading screen then you need to "Verify Integrity of Game Cache" in the game's properties in the "Local Files" (For steam buyers only).

So where are the 'local files'? and how do I verify integrety of game cache. I assume its because my city has reached a certain memory size and now can't open. Any help would be useful. thanks.

Assuming you are running in Steam, just right click on Cities XL in the games list and go to properties. Go to the Local files tab and click verify integrity.
