Welcome all,

Not played Simcity 4 for a long time, but thought I would get back into and start a new project having seen the Bournemouth one.

I have created the map using a screen grab of Google maps and then rendering it to greyscale in Paintshop. I am really happy with the results but it is a massive map.

I announce the birth of:

Devon is in the South West of the UK and is a very large county. I have decided that my focus will be the South and East of Devon as this is where I live and has great coastline and a number of large towns and a city.

Here is a screenshot of one part of the map showing the East facing coast - looks quite accurate! There are many tourist towns here along with a railway running from Exeter to right along the coast.

While I won't be creating every street by the books I will be following the general layout of the main trunk roads and the key features of the towns. I will be focusing on the Exe Estuary first.

Time to go and build!

I'm glad my CJ could inspire you. I can't wait to see what you will do with this, there are never enough UK CJ's in my opinion so this will make a nice change. :D

Looks like a nice start! I'll be following and looking especially critical, since I live in Dawlish :P

Brilliant, another British CJ. Looking forward to seeing this develop...

This and Bournemouth are really starting to make me think I should open my North Wales region...

Being Cornish I think you have the wrong county, but nonetheless this could be quite interesting. I may even be tempted to make a Cornish one and join the fun.

Although i do hope to go to uni in Exeter, so this could be quite cool.
