Illium City 2.0 || Plans for the Future

[SAVAGExPHOENIX 955]

As many of you know, I'm part of the AIN, and my beautiful country the Kingdom of Illium is the dominant superpower in the southern hemisphere. Well, I've decided to rebuild Illium City, this time in Cities Skylines. If you want more information on the Kingdom of Illium, please feel free to check out the Kingdom's wiki HERE. It is incomplete, though. Keep that in mind.

Anywho, I started using Atys' community map, which is beautiful (although I think the sea level could be raised a bit, which I might do).

I wanted to start this CJ with something central to Illium City: The Sariah International Airport. It's the southernmost city in the Kingdom of Illium's mainland, and air travel is the most efficient way to get here from international locations. 

I won't waste so much time talking. I'll get to what you all really love: The picture dump. (See post below mine)


EDIT::: Okay so for some reason image tags just don't work. :/ Just click the links for pictures. It's a photobucket problem. I wont use it for future updates.

The bridge connection from the port.

What you see directly after getting off the bridge!

There is a LOT of parking at SIA.

Terminal A, domestic flights. You can see the SIA connector train here as well.

Terminal B, regional flights. Again with the SIA Connector train.

Terminal C, international flights, as well as the hub for Sariah Airways.

Bus shuttle hub. There are two lines around the airport, and multiple lines coming from other parts of the city that come here.

Also I apologize for the lack of traffic. I haven't zoned the city yet. It's mainly just.. roads.

Nice airport. Here, for some easier viewing:

That's one cool airport.

Just a teaser, for things to come.

Okay so, I keep bouncing around everywhere and I can't seem to do just one area, and it makes it where nothing gets done, so I laid out plans on what I wanted done. I'm going to work starting from the outside in. Hopefully, by planning things out, I'll actually get more done. 

The International Airport is all but complete, and I'm almost finished re-working Port Helios. Manticore Station needs a couple tweaks then it'll be done. I'll start with Jasmin after that, as it's primarily a small suburb. I'll then start on Fox River. It's the main northern suburb, and it's where all the "Social Elites" live, and a majority of the Nobles that live in the Illium Metro area. I'll then start on Highland Village and King's point, which are both your standard suburban sprawl type towns. I'll finish it off with the farming town of Prosper. After that, i'll move to the daunting task of Illium City itself. 
 

Any input would be great.

Love the shape of the area.. very unique, can't wait to see it under progress. A gif over time would be a great way to keep track of it all.

 

Some great features on the map, nice harbors and tallish mountain areas.

 

Can't wait to see how it turns out.
