The Empire of Chaumont - 'Delightfully Oppressive'

[cityhawk 12]

Man, nice building! Is it available on the STEX, or is it your own creation? Anyway, I also like the highway going under the building and the use of Buddybud's walls. Sorry to hear about your game problems and lost interest, but I hope you'll be back with more soon, jarno. Until then, take care!

I can't wait for more, that picture is just too teasing for words! A suitable teaser, lol. Very nice efects in the last few updates, I fell in love with some of those pics! And lol, the taz agency WOULD be the most feared in the Empire I guess, except for maybe the Emperor's home...

As I said, can't wait for the next update, and keep the fantastic work up! And well done with 4th place in the SUFA cup, congrats!

Interesting concept on how the SUFA Cup is tallied! Sorry to hear that your game is crashing...SC4 is the type of game that hates the people who play it. However, the single screenshot is pretty amazing! However, do take screen shots, you print screen and minimize to paint and paste it? I find that highly inconvenient. I just use CTRL SHIFT S. 

Hope you fix your problem.

Thank you all for your comments!

At the moment, I'm going to start cleaning out my plugin folders as the game (at least the speed of it) is driving me near the brink of insanity.. This is the first time since I installed that game that I'm going to do this, so I'm a little bit hesitant to be honest..

Also, I'm seriously contemplating a restart with Chaumont, since there are quite a few problems with the region that I would like to fix in a 'new region' where I can start from scratch.. (This is ofcourse still in the 'idea' phase, so I have no idea if that's what I'm going to do..)

At the moment, I'm just a little overwhelmed by the size of my plugin folders and am hoping I can figure things out.. So, wish me luck as I go on the biggest adventure in Simcity since I last installed it..

And thanks for your understanding and your appreciation!



Cityhawk: As Usnaguy pointed out, the building is definitely available on the STEX, Cityhawk! I believe it's a post office or something in the U.S.. Very large building in any case.. Thanks for your comment!

Leech10: Thanks, Leech! Always a pleasure to see your comments!

Usnaguy: Thanks for pointing Cityhawk in the right direction, Usnaguy!

The boy formerly known as Evil Muzz: Haha, well.. It might take a little longer to get more, but at least it will be worth it.. I'm looking forward to being able to play Simcity 4 like I used to.. Because at the moment it just takes too much time to get anything done.. Thanks for your comment!

SpecialEddie: I can't remember whether I ever used CTRL SHIFT S before, but I do know that some of the early screenshots I took with the ingame screenshot maker were horrendous in terms of quality.. Perhaps I missed something and that is the best way to do it, so I'll give it a try once I have everything back up and running.. (Thanks for the tip in any case!) Anyway, thanks for your comment!


That's all I have at the moment everyone.. Just a quick check in to see how the screenshot was received and an update for you all to let you know about what I'm going to do with the game..

[Sim shady 12]

[pepsi71ocean 2]

Its a most fearsome looking building jarno. You did well. I wish you luck on your purges. I have been there several times myself just remember if the city crashes deleate and start over.

Can't wait for the next installment of the Empire Times.

[swesim 1]

Best of luck with Your quest in the land of plugins!

In the meantime I would love a tutorial on how You did the Imperial times when You get the time for it.

Glad to see the Great Chaumont is back ... even if it is only one picture... it is still awesome...

Very beautiful bat .. but with your description changes it to very imposing, the effect that I gues it would resemble to all your poor little citizens.. cowering in the shadow of the ruthless Tax Squad. I'd love to see some of the secrets deep in the corridors of this establishment.

I hope you sort out your troubles with your game, it sounds serious and very off putting to me. Good luck, and I hope that Chaumont returns to the stage it was earlier this year.

Hehe...CTRL SHIFT S is the ingame camera. But I still think it's "ok" quality. It's quick and easy, but it's incovenient due to the fact that it's PNG. but there are some converters out there that can change PNG to JPG really quickly. Hope you fix your comp. problems. Plugins can be so frustrating. 

As for starting over...ehh...we all have to start from scratch again sometimes. You just get that feeling, "oh, i'm starting a-fresh. Nothing will go wrong."

Hey Jarno, great work on those last updates, and I agree with Gurrgkud about the Imperial Tax agency setup, that road bridge you've placed just in front of it gave it even more depth!

Keep it up!
