Wow, Fredval, I really enjoyed reading this last page, really neat, well, as for back as i can remember your work has allways been Top-Notch

Finnegans Wake, Love this name, sounds very neat and Irish, and as all irish things do with me stirr up memories from my time living there, and beeing a rural town, it fits perfectly with the name. And i really enjoy watching villages grow, and the way youve used coustom lots, well, WOW!

And the only constructive crittisism i could find to post, on the last picture, the global view of Pa

[Ma8thew 77]

Just amazing. I REALLY hope you release those farming BATs. They look fantastic. Very alpine!

[fredval 26]

Cycledogg's mod is INCREDIBLE! Looks great used there.

[MayorTim 16]

Wow! This is an AMAZING journal! Definately one of my favorites.

[fredval 26]

Thanks for your comments.

 

Here is a global view of the region.

That's all for today !  Next time : Cleotine River

wow what an awesome update

CLEOTINE RIVER

Today we go 200 hundred kilometers East of FINNEGANS WAKE. I want to show you the strange area of CLEOTINE RIVER. This river snakes between high mountains down to the sea.

This area is particularly interesting for its geological curiousity : some granite spines called by the settlers : SATAN'S BACKBONE.

This sharp landscape, place of refuge for many inhospitable wild species, such as javelins, was not the best place on Aldebaran for human visitors to settle. The first settlement in the area was CLEO, a small mountain village, hooked on a rocky outcrop and surrounded with towers and fortress.

This picture shows a small farm a few kilometers east from Cleo. Life is hard for these peasants, the weather in Winter is a real nightmare and protecting the cattle against the attacks of javelins, bears, wolves and other predators, is a hopeless job.

[jacqulina 162]

wow very pretty

[Shadow Assassin 336]

Wow... that's one of the most picturesque towns I've ever seen. As someone else said, any world maps?

[jeronij 13]

Hi Fredval,

really nice upates . I can see the high amount of work with LE and  Reader/Datgen behind all your pictures, and also some great special effects, that light effect is great !!!

Keep the nice country developing  !!!

[PhilsCafe 8]

Fantastic pictures. I'm amazed that the CycleDogg mod goes so well with settlements.

I like the rural, kinda medieval feel of your CJ. The fortress in that scenic landscape looks great... I don't know why I missed that CJ for so long.

Keep it up.

- Phil

Thanks to Ma8thew, MayorTim, Sloppet for their nice comments.

Many thanks to Lilou and Jacqulina for their daily encouragements !  It really pushes me to continue and improve my creations everyday.

 

ShadowAssassin : my world map is not complete, there are too many holes in it. You'll have to wait for a while...

 

Jeronij, you are right : I have hundreds of customized lots. You can't imagine !  (Well, actually, I'm sure that you can imagine )

 

To finish with the Cleotine River, I'd like to show you a picture of a small village defying the laws of nature, the Matchu Pitchu of Aldebaran : SAN ANTONIO OF THE SPUR. This village was named after its unbelievable situation on a rocky spur.

That last update's just stunning... I'm really amazed by the terrain you've created, but even more I'm amazed by how well you've incorporated your towns to the surrounding hills, etc.

 

Keep up the good work!

Is snow what I see?

[Ma8thew 77]

It looks to me like the Christmas easter egg. If you set your computer's date to December 25, all terrain above a certain height is snow, and all ground textures are snow.

[jglei701 8]

... Now, wouldn't that be the Christmas present instead of the Easter egg...? 

 

Just kidding!

 

As usual, looks great Fredval

I couldn't have explained it better   Thank you Ma8thew !

 

I'm surprised that you had never heard about it Jeronij ???

(unfortunately, it has nothing to see with CycleDogg mod

I wish someone could mod it btw...)
