Need help with canals.

[Goin2Chicago 4]

i like the small canal system with the part with the houses on it. i also like the houses overlooking everything at the top of the cliff. just keep messin around with the canals and then maybe you'll be able to have a region wide canal system someday.

Check out this thread.  It may give you some ideas for canals.

 

I'll be posting mine eventually.

 

Also, look around the CJ's.  Lots of people have been using canals very effectively, especially Sharkbait .

You don't help it's better then the crap I have done with the Canals.

I don't see any problems. Getting the hang of what to do with them, is mostly a matter of practice and patients.

My advice, function over form. Canals in real life exist for a reason, so make them look like they are used in the game.

Also, you should level the terrain before plopping canal pieces. Use the single road trick for leveling (i.e. many single road tiles plopped next to each other).

I used up many dollars and many small cities just practicing with the various canal and pond pack pieces.

This may not seem like a good cj, but that's because its my first.  I'm really having trouble with my canals.  Any suggestions?

This thread got the Canal juices flowing and the bulldozer doing it's thing.The biggest problem is which Canals to use seeing how awesome they all are but I gave in to Peg's Canals.

  Once ya pick a style it's time to say good-bye to the family and start laying your Canal system.It's going to take awhile and remember to take a bathroom break once in awhile.

 

    Goodluck and let us know how ya make out.

Thanks Guys!  If you were wondering, those were SimGoober's and Ill_Tonkso's Canals.  Do you have any suggested canals?

Oppie's canals are good. Also, for normal water, marrast's embankement set is really good, as well as some others.

But this thread doesn't belong in this forum. I'm not sure where this thread belongs but it's not the BAT - Open Discussion.

I agree with irishgrapes, make the canal system in the game as if it was actually being used.

On another note, I suggest using the no one way road arrows mod, which can be found in the modding files part of the site (I think).

Try Peg's Canals.

Okay, guys. Now no more stuff on the canals, I got it.  But what do you think of of this?
