Wolf_pt, GMT, jrhnemo: Thanks for the comments .

Update 1 - Goal: Creating a mountainroad and a realstic environment.


This is the area i'm going to focus on today.



The plan here is to create a mountainroad, so the first natural thing is to create a slope with elevated highways.



Off course the slope looks to straight as it is now, so some additional terraforming is needed. The result of that and the placement of the road:



Adding some flowerfields:



And finally some god-mode tree placement:



End result:







Hope you liked it, see you next time Next update will be the creation of a village.

Quite a stunning landscape you are working with, nice start for a new CJ.

[Superchan 23]

this looks good.

[Micah 16]

Really great start and update as well. This looks promising... hopefully The Critic agrees as well. (if you know who that is).

[1ajs 49]

wow never thought of doing a slope for a raod that was nice.

[jacqulina 162]

very nice start

[Abc987 3]

Really really awsome i just know that this cj will go far!

[realdimension 6]

Beautiful ! the use of flowers and rocks increase a lot the beauty of this landscape.

[Fabiocb 1]

looks quite nice so far, good start.

 

[praiodan 78]

Wow... This is an magnificent example for having nice SC pics without any buildings... Just a nice mountain road... Really great

Kwakelaar, superchad, Micah, 1ajs, jacqulina, jrhnemo, realdimension, Fabiocb, praiodan (nice to see you again dude ), thanks for your comments!


This update will not be tutorial as i already covered how to make forest path in my previous CJ, look at the last page if you want to know how to do it

Update 2 - Goal: Creating a forestpath to the castle









This is the finished result for the city (read wilderness) of Castlehill (yes i suffer from bad imagination ). I think it's kinda realistic to have some wilderness between the villages/cities so that's why there's no buildings except for the castle. Oh, and the castle is a standard rush hour landmark so you should find it in your landmarks menu if you want to use it yourself. Hope you liked it, next time we're (hopefully) going to see some civilisation See you next time!

[praiodan 78]

Ha I know why this looks so real! It is real! These are nothing more than Google Earth pics, aren't they? j/k

Looks gorgeous!

[Mikeaut1 261]

Excellent start here. It looks so real!! I love it, very much. I'll keep my eye on this!

[Thut 0]

Great terraforming and love the trail to castle... so medieval

[Abc987 3]

Good use of the castle and trail. I like the transition between the castle path and the trail it worked pretty well

[PhilsCafe 8]

Great start. I like the terrain a lot. Keep it up.

Nice job with the road and the trail. They fit in so well with the mountainous terrain.

[metasmurf 705]

praiodan, Mikeaut1, Thut, jrhnemo, PhilsCafe, oroen ..Thanks for your comments It keeps me going

Update 3 - Progress

Here are some pictures of the progress of the first civilisation of Carbone, enjoy.



Terraforming for this thing took some time, but i think it turned out pretty cool.





Hope you enjoyed it, see you next time

[jarnomiedema 52]

Wow.. This looks amazing, Metasmurf! The road through the mountains has something really romantic about it.. Also, the dirt road that leads up to the castle really looks as though it continues into the lot! What an amazing find there! In your latest update, the ferry looks 'ferry' cool and that last shot with the industrial development is probably my favorite of the bunch.. The japanese seawalls.. Looks fantastic!

 

Perhaps a little bit of advice: if you leave the game running on turtle speed when you take the pictures, that yellow pauze thing will dissappear and make the shots even better than they already are..

 

Keep up the good work and thanks for linking to Chaumont in your signature!

[metasmurf 705]

Thanks jarnomiedema I fixed the screens the way you told me in this update, so no more yellow lines So, here's a really big update:

Update 4- Development

Welcome to the city of Midvale, the first civilisation in Carbone.


Entrace to the city, a wooden bridge over the river.



No rural area can be without a nice church



I love this gas station It looks just like the ones we have here in Sweden.



Industrial area with some japanese bat's



A closer look on the slope with r$ housing, and to the left some commercial development



A closer look on the c$ stores:



A few farms:



Bridge to the ferry island:



A windmill and a flowerpark:



Overview 1:



Overview 2:



All comments (good or bad) are appreciated

[silentbreaker 6]

looks quite great. The first picture in your last update looks impressing realistic.

[Abc987 3]

Good job so far this is soooooooo good lol

[Fischbob 9]

Looking good!

That ferry terminal in the middle of the water is really cool.

[Simen 1]

Nice update! I love how you always try to make things so beautiful, and I love how you never fail doing just that! I love the farms, and everything else with this update! keep it up!

100th POST YAY!!!!

[BaKeD-aPpLe-PiE 0]

I LOVE the terraforming. You pay such good attention to detail. Is there anyway you could direct me to the place you got the flowers? They look very cool and I'd love to put them in some of my cities.

Thanks in advance!
