Eladremme City Journal. Closed

  Welcome to Eladremme City Journal.
  Here will see how this region grows.
  When this region was just created, i thought that i create a journal after finishing some terraforming,
or after finishing some city work. But Eladremme region was created by me at 14th september,
and i'm still working at wasteland district that will be a part of projected industry zone.

  Also, some of the pics that was hosted at my first hosting are gone forever (my first hosting account was deleted), that's why you can see picture is no longer aviable  in early updates.

  Many thanks for all the people who had created all these great mods. I think that during region creation i will use some other mods if it will be needed. 
I just can't list all the custom lots i'm using, so they will be shown at the pics i will name them by their creatiors.


Cheats used:

  Ok, i'm using cheat'o'matic for making money in such region parts as wasteland cities, just for faster creating them and to prevent bankruptcy of the city till neighbour deals will cover all the expences.
Yes, this region will have central recourse system, and will contain one energy/waste city, and one water resourse city, other cities will get water, energy and get rid of garbage by neighbour deals.

LEGEND

In few words:

Eladremme is the name of the region on a planet Tristana - newest human colony. The first region on this planet that was colonized is Rubbrefo (now it's a capital of the Tristanian colony).
The first expansion of the Tristanian colony was urbanization of five new regions of this planet. One of these five regions becomes Eladremme.


Regional map:

Terraforming Update #1

So, looks like it will take really long
I can't say that i was doing it all day, but.. look at here:

picture is no longer aviable;

As you can see this region will have not very realistic terrain. Rather its terrain will a little bit fantasy.
...So, this piece of terraformed landscape is not very big part of the whole region:

I hope that i'll finish it in this month, ha-ha %}
Oh, forgot to say, i'm using Teirusu's snow capped mod now. Looks cool

To Jekyll917:

I'm not sure, but i think i've got this mod from the mods section. But i didn't find it there now. Also i didn't safe the zip. I can't remember who did this great mod (many thanks to him). So try to search through forums by extra terrain tools.


To all first visitors:

Thanks guys! I hope that this region will be not very boring

[jekyll917 0]

Thanks Marrast
I've found the Extra Terrain Tool in the mod section. It was called 'Additional God Mode Terrain tools' by rybolton, the DAT file was named 'Extra Terrain Tool'
Anyway, really like your CJ, keep on!

Terraforming Update #2. Landscape teaser.

Nothing serius today. I just want to tease you and show wich kind of landscape you will be able to see in Eladremme.

Eladremme is a region of contrasts. Here you will find  sweet and soft valleys wich are great for easy and happy life. Silent and peaceful rivers and lakes surrounded by pine forest. But here and there you will able to find some very ominous but very beautiful mountains with numerous peaks. A snow you can find somewhere in those mountains...

Terraforming Update #4


This is madness. I see trees and cliffs when i close my eyes Looks like i need a break %}

I have to say that terraforming is almos 50% complete. Here is statistics.

Progress Statistics:

Terraforming is finished on: 53 cities;
Need to be terraformed: 55 cities.


And of course, i have few pics for you. A three regional frames that shows one of the regional landmark - mountain and cliff ridge that visually breaks Eladremme region in two pieces:

On a third pic (compared with the first) you can see that forest layer looks very mosaic according to city squares. It's just because i'm boring to fit it every time. It takes very much time. May be i will do it one day.

Also, i've a little modified  those rocks near the river at the north part of the region. Now they looks not very chaotic.

Edit: I'm just lookin' at the very first pic in this journal.. Damn, can't believe myself that this is the same region

Terraforming Update #5

Ugh. I was offline during three days, so here is what i've done. Much closer to finish.

Progress Statistics:

Terraforming is finished on: 89 cities;
Need to be terraformed: 22 cities.

On a southwest side of a region will situated an enormous plateau. I didn't find a name for it, actually i don't have landmark names yet, i will name it after terraforming will be finished.

I've decided to put a pine forest to the plateau, even its height is extremely huge. I just love how those pines looks on a clear white snow at the top of the plateau.

And this is how the whole region looks now:

I hope that terraformong will be finished this weekend. I have some ideas specially for this region. Stay tuned to this journal, urbanization will eat this beautiful Eladremme valley

That is a stunning region, with some superb terraforming! I really like the plateau.

And I'll look forward to some mass urbanization, although it's gonna take you a while on a region that vast!!

Great work Marrast,

Will

[+Guest]

To Will Silver:

Thanks a lot!
And yes, urban developing will take really long .

[dominohobbes 27]

The city you have so far looks great, and that is some amazing terraforming  I wish I could do something like that. Great work!

[flanig407 0]

Wow, amazing terraforming.

[jekyll917 0]

These shiny gray rocks looks really good with white snow!
And the color of your water's also great!
Keep on your great terraforming!

[+Guest]

Thanks for those comments every one! I'm really glad that you like this terraforming

Final Terraforming Update.

- Ugh.. i've done it?
- You've done it, Mar.
- How it looks?
- Not bad, really. May be you should work on this little bit more..
- Yeah, till my dying day.
- Not necessarily, just a couple of days.
- Nope. It's done.
- Oh, well..





Ok, now the only terraforming i will do here is only during city developing.
Here is the map with the names of most important landmarks here in Eladremme:

The map is ugly, just cause i don't have time now to create a detailed map city by city, but i will do it some day.
 

Introduction. The Great Construction.

...Eladremme Valley is one of virgin soils here. The main task of our team is to build up a power and utilization organ of the city to come... So, i hope that our valiant revision committee will not check us up every second... I just don't like the main construction plan! A lot of  unjustified spending here! You all. You will do exacly what i say. I think that every one wants to get some more money...

Eladremme construction was started from a Power and Utilization Ogran (P.U.O.) It is a district that will serve all the city in the future. It contains power plants, land fill, utilization facilities, heavy and manufacturing industry. Also, there are residential areas where all the workers frome the whole P.U.O. live.

The very first chief of the whole construction site was Rhal Tucdloc. The man who broke the main city design rules to get some more money...

Thanks Subedei The shiny grey rocks i made by myself using ingame brown rocks texture. First i've setup Peg's Rock Kit, but i don't like his realistic textures, i like standart SC4 ones - they are more relative but they looks more harmonious to other textures in SC4.

The same story with the water


Journal Improvement.

I just want to say that all the pics in this journal will be pulled out from old updates. You will able to see them only by clicking some links. Only two last updates will directly include pics, but after a new update will come, the most old one will be edited by me - all the pics will be replaced by links to these pics.

It's just to keep this journal compact (i hate scroll down too long ) and more easy to read for some not very fast connections.

Awesome job of terraforming, especially the gray-colored cliffs in the lower left! Look forward to further updates.

First bungle of Rhal Tucdloc.

picture is no longer aviable;


Fist step of the Great Construction in Eladremme was building a highway and railway branch line to deliver building materials, machinery, workers to the construction site. The name of the future highway E-667 might be Tucdloc in honour of the highway building team chief - Rhal Tucdloc. But Rhal's hands was unclean.

The main highway building directive in all virgin soils sounds like There is no ground highway. It was assigned by the Greenpeace Committee to prevent animal deaths and animal-aided heavy accidents on the highway. 
But constructing an elevated highways is more expensive compared with ground highways, no doubt. So, as the building team chief, Rhal Tucdloc bribed the member of Revision Committee and begins to construct a ground highway instead of elevated one. He has got his hands on all redundant funds.  

Fortunately one of the workers had realized that something wrong here and he sends a message to the Revision Committee.. his name was Gooberth Iptihondra. Finished highway was named in honour of this vigilant worker.

Rhal Tucdloc was forfeited and reduced to the ranks.
Bribable member of the Revision Committee was banished back to the Earth. 


Concerning a railway branchline. It was constucted by Rubbrefo Railway Laying Team professionals  so they build it up in few months with no any acidents or delays.
