NEW HOLLAND Journal

[Dargor 17]

Looks really great and interesting!   It's cool to see my own country represented here in the shape of a SC4-creation. The city-names are charming as well. 

 

how did you get those Dutch cows?

you could have atleast put a flemish guy in there pay some respect to your southern neighbours

Frosties 0258: it's not that I don't have respect for Flemings; our three friends just didn't meet one till now! It might be possible that they get in contact with Flemings, why not? After all, you have to understanf that

Update 5: Voting!

A very important moment in Paul

[mayormommy 8]

I vote for A, the purple line. You don't the yellow line interfering with access to your waterfront and the blue line requires too many bridges.

[catweazle_touchwood 1]

Line A looks to me the best option.
Keep up your good work!

I like the look of Line A - Purple Line, Utora.

It is great to have the rail run parallel to the highway!

[utora 0]

Mayormommy, Catweazle_touchwood and Mikeaut1: thanx for voting!

 

So far it's 3 votes for A; i'd say keep on voting!

[ChicAgo333 2]

i vote for line A: Purple Line. Mostly the same idea as what mayormommy said, the blue line has too many bridges causing longer commutes and the yellow line interferes with coast access. looking forward to more

I am really enjoying your CJ so far. It is wonderful... Holland is one of my favourite countries (I have some dutch background), and I LOVE seeing your representations of the canals and dijks etc.
Erg mooi!
It is getting me thinking about doing a CJ myself... maybe after summer is over and the nights are longer!!!

I vote for A-purple. It is a more logical route and doesn't disrupt your town too much. You can add bus stops to link together.

Is your little dorpie going to become a stadt?

love to the dutch

[SkyTearer 10]

A definately looks best. I really like this CJ, it's very realistic and unlike any previous CJ, keep up the great work!

[andrew george 0]

I think route B would be best, but with the station by the riverside and then you could hook up a ferry service. Just an idea.   Love this CJ.

 

A

[London_Wyverns 0]

Thanks for the reference for the Dutch props, I got all of them now.
I also choose for the B variant.

[StormyWeathers 1]

I'll choose for line A. Without doubt the best choice to my opinion!
Ik zou lijn A kiezen. Zonder twijfel de beste keuze naar mijn mening!

[flrscf 0]

I'll vote for the yellow one. So the passenger trains don't have to pass the industry railstation. And it's very close to the centre.
Keep it up, utora!!

[utora 0]

Voting update: so far 9 votes are recorded; the polls will close at 4 PM (EST) / 10 PM (CET)

Expext an update tonight or tomorrow!

 

Stay Tuned!!!

[jasperdeman.nl 1]

Heel erg mooi stad/dorp, het doet me inderdaad veel aan nederland denken. Just for the record, ik kom uit Capelle aan den IJssel, naast Rotterdam.

 

Very very nice, keep it up! Oh, I would go for option (A) it would be cheapest and lowest commute time.

[utora 0]

thanx for the compliment Jasper!! I'm from Leiden. The final goal of this journal is to create a realistic picture of The Netherlands, but I wanted to start somewhere in history, when Holland mainly consisted of small farming towns. Since I'm a realism-freak it'll take a lot of time, especially because there's a storyline too.

(My answers will be in English, so everybody can understand). Btw I'm glad to see KLM airplanes on the STEX now, I'll definitely use them in the future! Beware for the next update!

 

BTW, voting is no longer possible now!!

 

[Mikeaut1 261]

Utora,

 

You have such great ideas for your city journal. This is an awesome city journal. And the storyline is amazing. I cant wait for the coming updates, because I know they'll be good. And you're just like me, realism!

 

Good luck!!!

Mikeaut: Wow! thanx for the compliment, this really gets me motivated! Btw, you've got a more than excellent journal yourself!

Subedei: I'll definitely keep the updates coming, but, you know: writing a story means suffering sometimes.. Anyway, I'm very busy with other things at the moment (exams!!) so that means that only after 26th of August I'll have plenty of time to update more frequently!

 

I just hope you like the story and pics, and for that matter, I hope more people will comment!!!

[flrscf 0]

Utora, your CJ is just great! Keep it up! I like de Twin Bridge, o sorry, the Anton Staalbrug. I choosed the yellow line (option B), but this option is also great! Anyways, good luck with your exams and your CJ! Keep up the good work!

[ak72 54]

Great job! I am about to start a CJ kind of like this (discovering a new island). Great minds think alike! Anyway, keep up the great work!

important message

For the next couple of weeks I won't be able to post any updates for the NH-journal.

Due to a lack of time, inspiration and with some major exams coming up, the further creation of the New Holland region will be suspended....

By then, I hope I can show you some more interesting updates! I feel a bit stuck, on a dead end with the storyline of the journal, so I guess I'll have to do a meditation-retreatment or something, to regain inspiration...

Hope you'll understand. Btw does anyone read the actual story? otherwise I'll end it and stay with the development of the region. Suggestions?   Gr Utora

[andrew george 0]

What you describe about being stuck & lack of inspiration - that happens to me also sometimes. We'll just have to wait until you are eager again. If your heart's not in it - it won't be as good as it could be, and no-one wants that.

 

I'm looking forward to seeing more of New Holland soon!

 

Good luck with exams etc.
