Welcome to page 4!

Now to respond to some comments:

Sc4_cewl:The downtown is probably going to be another area to be redone in the close future, and I am attempting to be making more pockets of highrises in the suburbs (out of the historic downtown), the one by the quay will be lowered in density as well; but for the better I am sure.
juantrev:The dirt road mod can be found HERE . Here are some monorail stations, including the one you wanted: HERE
simmax:Merci beaucoup pour le commentaire Encore, j'essaie d'am

Take your time; school first . We'll be here, waiting for you.

Well, I have been not as busy, even though I should have much more than I have, I am off on Mid-Winter break right now...
I have good enough news, I only lost cities that I was planning on restarting anyways. As well, I now have 1,00 Go of RAM, and a new diskdrive. Errgh, using that 15 Go diskdrive was enough trouble for me.
That aside, I think that I owe you a preview of the minimal, but still progress, made on my region.

Here they are:

A in-game transportation map



Game Satelite view, the farms do not display properly in regional view, however



Game Transportation view



A few random shots of farms

Holy Crap! I've never seen farms done like that! That is beautiful. I love how you didn't make it a checkerboard, but instead more of a patchwork effect. Transportation is a nice change from grids as well out in the country, very cool.

 

Also I don't know if you did this on purpose but in the transportation screen, the farms resemble a cat, eyes and mouth are green, body is the farm colour, and theres even claws as being the cliffs by the water.

Very amazing transportation map and awsome golf course!

[nooneatall 6]

Okay, I just fixed one image up top, and now to respond to the comments:

oroen:Thank-you for the support.
ThePeoplesPerson:Nice to see some new faces around here! lol, I really didn't intend for the farms to look like a cat, that's pure coincidence. funny how close it resembles one though, maybe I should look at my images before posting them, it would be a good habit; except, I am just too lazy...
EDIT: I missed one...
bobinator:The gold course is nowhere near done, because after I finish my suburbs around one half of it, it will have an entirely new look; for the better I hope. Thanks.

Keep the comments comming, any critism, constructive please, is gladly accepted

[timo 15]

Beautiful landscape!! One of the best I've seen... nice job

[nooneatall 6]

Thank-you for the comment, timo.
Well, here is a, still uncomplete, but an update, nonetheless.

A shot of what I consider to be an American-styled suburban city-centre



Some poor-quality shots next








I am very sorry for the poor quality, but these are around 6 month-old pictures! I don't have many newer, and my plugins are stripped, so I can not open older cities for a while yet...
But, I am working on a completely new soon-to-be metropolis, still unnamed. I am looking for some ideas for the name of the city, and 'runners-up' will be used for areas inside the city itself, so your suggestion, if the lest amount good, will be used.
I will try and get some shots of what the transportation network looks like, but I am trying to make this city 'evolve', while not making it and leaving it there.

I have a four-day weekend, as of Easter, so I *should* have some time to play SimCity soon enough...

This CJ is great! It has a very realistic feel to it and the regional satellite views look more like real pictures than SC4 screenshots. The differntly shaped farms look great being that this is a hilly region with a varied terrain. The picture of the city center in the latest update is amazing. That city center definately reminds me of a lot of the downtowns of cities here in the U.S.

Great job, keep up the good work.

Thanks for the comment, comdude21, I appreciate it.
END EDIT

Well, I guess that I better tell you all that I basicly erased this region, and I am working on a new region, VERY loosely based on this one, but it will have much more realistic terrain and layouts, unlike the original Arville. It will still be a mostly European-styled city, old town centre, with some new-style cities, maybe with a Qu

[mayormommy 8]

I'm looking forward to your next region! Arville was so nice, sigh. I suppose you'd like a French name so I'm not much help for that. Hopefully someone will have some better suggestions?

[sloppet 3]

very nice update!! cool looking region indeed! keep up the good work!

[nooneatall 6]

Hmm... to respond to the comments:

mayormommy:Thanks for the comment, thanks for reading, and any name would be fine, whatever you suggest is fine, like I am maybe going to use Eddenborough, (which not French at all,) and/or some variations for the main city's outskirts...
sloppet:Thanks for the nice comment, I guess that you didn't read my last post, but I don't blame you, I wouldn't either

Here is the landscape of a city that I am planning in the north, pretty far away from the main city.



I am maybe thinking of building a modern-styled city here, comments are welcomed. I am restarting the transit for this city, suggestions on how to change/better the terraforming is welcomed too.
I am still looking for name suggestions, for a possible name for the country/region at large is Azureilles, are there any comments on this name?

[frogface 352]

I love the dynamic layouts, looks a lot better without grids!

[nooneatall 6]

Thanks for the comment, frogface, it is maybe a surprise to you, but you were the inspiration for my extentric-like (thus realistic ) road layouts, from your Dorbuk region... sad that it's no longer updated...

Is there any interest in me making a new region? It seems as though nobody has viewed the thread, or that people don't want me to attempt a new CJ.
Comment and express your views, check the thread a few posts above...


I hope that there is enough interest in this; and I may get time to post a few more teaser shots, despite the fact that I havn't been able to play SC4 much -- my free time is too limited, and I'm already falling behind in school...

[jacqulina 162]

just read this cj love what you are doing the farms are excellent i like the shape love the satelite view

[mayormommy 8]

Well, Edinburgh, Scotland is one of my favorite places so that name sounds good to me. One of the things I liked about Edinburgh was the bluffs above the city where you could look down on the castle and straight down Prince's Street. And Azureilles sounds like a good region name. Good luck!

[sloppet 3]

nice region, but maybe you should make some more hills, or mountains ...

[petriknl 15]

NO Keep this CJ alive!! And keep it French I think thats very very nice, I like the way you make it more European with a historic city centre without any highrise. And I was wondering is Arville located in the real world and is it a nation?

[nooneatall 6]

Hmm... I'm back, to respond to the comments:

mayormommy:Well, if it's your favourite places, why not name your favourite place in 'Auzureilles' after it? Hmm... making a castle on a bluff... hmm... *starts thinking...*
sloppet:Yeah, I think that I will add more hill on where I plan to be more rural-esque in that area (it is roughly 6 large tiles). Thanks, I'll post a shot when I get to play SC4 again...
petriknl:Firstly: thanks for the support, but my old region was (is) very unrealistic, in the regional views, etc., so I am restarting my region, but it will be based on the same idea as Arville. If it's not as good, I give you permission to... umm... complain
Arville is really a mix of European (France, in perticular) layouts, for the most part, with Cando-influences (Canadian influences,) so it *somewhat* exists in real life, and my new region will follow the same basic city-design formula. I will attempt a Paris look-alike (the main city); also some more modern cities, resort/historic small villages, and more is planned!

Thank you to everyone who commented!

Here is a teaser of La D

You achieved a great deal of realism and creative layout with the original region. I'm quite looking forward to more excellent design from you with the new region.

[MayorTim 16]

Best - farmland - ever.

Thats all that needs to be said.

Since the Scottish pronounce Edinburgh as Eddenborough, I thought you already had a town with that name. Anyway, here's the castle.

oroen:Thanks, I'm hoping to make some progress on the new region soon, and have my journal up soon enough...
MayorTim:I wouldn't say Best - farmland - ever, maybe some of the best... Thanks a lot for the comment!
mayormommy:Hmm... I never knew the Scottish had such bad pronounciation (just kidding!) Thanks for the shot of the castle, I could *try* to make something somewhat similar to that in the game...

I finally had time to play SC4 today, for the first time in a little while, a few days, and I should have time this week-end because of crummy weather... I can't bike 15km into town when it's... snowing!

[nooneatall 6]

Hmm... I hope that I will be able to get everyone's opinion on this:

Should I be using cycledog's MODs, or my previous configuration? Should I use a different combination?

Here is a shot with cycledog's MODs



Here is a shot without his MODs



Please voice your comments, on how to improve the look of my terrain, etc.
Feel free to ask for close-ups, if you wish, looking at these again the differences are minute...

You have a very nice CJ here, nooneatall! I'll have to stop by more often...the new terrain looks really nice. Great work.
