    Since some of you wanted  a overview and a traffic map, that's exactly what I'll give you 2.gif

    It's nothing to go all crazy about since the city is still kinda small and massed up, but as it grows you'll see better overviews 4.gif

    So here's the pics!

    Okey! Some pics from the first suburb!

    East Beach

    In short: East

    As the name tells this suburb is locataed east of Downtown down at the beach. It's a very wealthy suburb with big luxury houses and exclusive stores. The subway runs through and under the houses and connects East Beach with Downtown together with the highway.

    At the moment the area closest to the shore line haven't been developed, but since the wealthy population in Marinora is growing fast, the area will not stay that way for long.

    In the area closest to the higway there's a mall and other small stores along woth some exclusive condos.

    Pics:

    The areas close to Downtown is also growing nice and steady.

    cxl_screenshot_marinora_29.jpg

    The heavy traffic between Downtown and the growing suburbs are cousing some mayor pile ups and sometimes accidents.

    cxl_screenshot_marinora_22.jpg

    To take care of this City Hall have started constuction of the Marinora Subway. The first two lines have been opened for traffic but are still under construction for the finishing touches. No other lines have been presented, but the Mayor have promised more lines and future expansion of the two new lines.

    The current lines are the East-Downtown line (Red) and the Capital line (yellow)

    Here's the first map of many of the subway system. I'll do a map of the bussystem later when it grows a bit and I find a good way to make a busmap x(

    That's it for now! Hope you enjoy! 9.gif

    Great. The only thing I don't like is the massive repetition in skyscrapers. This doesn't look good. I love your map BTW.

     Haha don't know if it's "massive" but yeah there's some repetation in the weastern Downtown, but that's mostly allready taken care of 2.gif

    The pics of Downtown in the latest update is actually kinda old.... I have another update coming pretty soon with a touched up Downtown and a MASSIVE expansion of the East Beach Suburb.

    (And a touch up + small expanion of the subway map)

    So stay tuned! 2.gif

    Very nice so far!! I agree with the repetition... wish we could do something about that at some point and get more variety in!! This is making me want to play so badly, but the game won't start on my PC. I may have to go back to CXL09 and get my fix hehe

    First an announcment!

    I didn't really like the name "East Beach" so I renamed it to "Trinity"

     

    Okey with that done I'll give you the update! I've wroked alot with Trinity and expanded it towards the shore line. With some higher density building close to the beach and a small expansion of the subway system. Big luxurious hotels and exclusive shopping. A big white beach and some beach side villas. Also the low density areas have got some touchups.

    This isn't really a full update, just some overview pics and a update on the construction of the stadium. 

    First overview and trafficmap:

    And the stadium is getting closer to opening:

    HEEY! Great to be back on the new site! :D I've been to Rome for about a week and haven't played any CXL so I don't have a update for you at the moment... But in the weekend you should expect some big updates from the suburbs of Marinora City!

    See you soon!

    Love Luddmamm

    And there we go again.... once again my game decides to kill my city of by just crashing on me when I open the city. Just the same thing that happened with Garnice City and since no one seems to know any answer to this I'm afraid this CJ is also dead. I'm so very sorry 'baout that both for you who follow this CJ and for me 'couse I've worked really hard on the city and I hate too loose another city. I have to restart again and I can't promise that I'll start another CJ since I'm sick and tired of this.

    If anyone know anything about this PLEASE help me!

    Some info on the matter:

    I haven't downloaded or removed any mods lately.

    I have downloaded the patch from Focus, but that was after the crashing started and I downloaded it only to try to fix it.

    This isn't the first time I've come across this. I's been happening to all of my cities after a while. They just stop working without a warning and I can't notice a patern in the crashes.

    I get no error message the game just CTD's without any message what so ever.

    Thanks if you can help, otherwise thanks for suporting my CJ's

    Is there plans for a Light Rail stop infront of the new stadium? I assume that it was placed near the track for a reason? Very nice... I love the realism you are putting into this! You are my kind of builder!
