[plug 4]

Wow. When did you start using bats? Did you start using bats? I've never had a city over 250k. This is amazing! You must have the patience of a saint...put to good use.

[Gridlock 9]

Hey Just got time for a quick update,

Yo sloppet ,how ya doing man ? tx for the not bad ,-) hehe

Hey Plug ,thx for the compliment ,When did i start using bats ,hm interesting question from a 1st time visitor,

I started using bats when i realised that most of the stuff on the stex,was not only super looking,but perfectly balanced with the game.

 Always making my style of play more difficult,having larger lot area s for less sims,so seeing as using them couldnt be considered cheating

i got myself many cool comms towers,parks, plaza s, tree s,water,rocks and various other bibs and bobs,

See anything u like in my cj ,and i will trace it back to the creator.

Lifes not all Elavators ,Tunnels and garbage in New Haven,A few shots from the everyday working - mid class suburbs of the region .

One of the largest burbs in the region ,2nd only to the industrial ghetto s at Industria

Most of these folks work in manufacturing

A rare spotting of the Eqigoobersupertrooper Eagle ,only two mating pairs in the region.

And a taste of things to come as the mayor allows some sims to enjoy a more luxurious lifestyle.

[sloppet 3]

Really impressive! Those suburbs are great! Keep it up my friend!

[Gridlock 9]

Hi Sloppet thx for the support as always.Dont know if your old enough m8 to

remember previous versions of SC,but this city is now crying out for Arcologies

and is ready for them ,but unfortunately Maxis ,left them

out of SC4,dunno why cos it was the arco s ,that gave you the ability to take the city

away from the present and into the future,if i remember right the forest arco

used to support 50,000 sims,looked like a big silver tree with a glass dome with a forest

in the roofspace there was about 5-6 differant ones..Prolly not matter to most of the members

on here but i hope they reappear in sc5.Buddamus.

Had to resort to a bit of shock and blast treatment on this city ,but it seems to be

growing again,dunno how much bigger its gonna get tho as the roads are choas,the subways and

rails are teaming ,and my 2 DRC,s are already well over capacity.Funny thing is tho the uni 

still only has 8400 students.

Here s a few pics to date ..

 A few new towers added the the Skyline

Dont know if your old enough m8 to

remember previous versions of SCquote>

Well.... I played SC3000 a lot, i loved that game.. and now i'm playing sc4, just like everyone out here!... This city looks really dangerous!

*Runs for the hills*

[Salbador 0]

Haha ,that is a massive city ,ive never seen anything like it before so many skyscrapers,and its bigger than my region ,lol,. i agree you must have lots of patience to do this ..Biggest city i ever saw amazing !

[Gridlock 9]

Update time ,lol

Hi sloppet ,sup -) dangerous ,the cities only dangerous if your a

criminal ,as there s a 99.5% chance your gonna get busted,lol

Only 53 crimes last month ,mostly pie throwing and flashers(Wierdo,s)

My cops dont mess around. Tx for visiting ,obtw i visited Monk

,well im honoured u even bother with my cj after seeing yours.

Hi salbador,Welcome to my region,ye it is big ,even im suprised

didnt think i would ever get it this far,Thx for visiting and

the compliment.

Well ive shown this pic a few times ,but localy now since the

formation of the metro this area as become  know as the

Burmuda triangle ,only several years ago some 65,535 sim commuters

went missing for nearly 4 months,devastated by thier ordeal many of

survivors sweared never to use public transport again.

The metro or triangle is made up of 9 cities and covers over 68

sq kilometers..

All development in these cities has been done purely to support

Dallas central,none of the cities could be classed as permenant

although all prestigious Co$$$ office blocks do have permenent

land rights to the plots.

I only populated these areas as Dallas residents couldnt

find all the jobs,pff!.

So my hands are tied and i cant realy tidy them up until the

capitol is finished,but i dont mind you having a look now.

City previously known as Worcester,page1 Now N.E Dallas

Also a bill in goverment proposes the renaming of the regions

capitol to Hong-Dallas,hopefully (well im sure they will-))

goverment will pass the bill in the next few weeks.

[sloppet 3]

Not so bad... .Looking forward for more !

Region Update

Hey Sloppet ,nice new avatar ,bit scarey tho ,lol -).

This is all i got for you today ,its not much but Njoy.

I spend far to much time playing sc4 as it is,so i try to

do the best i can in the limited time i have.

Food County & Sacred Isles of Roflslawa

--------------------------------------------------------- These lands were lost during the  wars of 1872 AD,

but have been rightfully returned to the state from which

they where stolen so long ago.Due to the risk of renewed

milatary action,these border territories have never been

populated and remain largely untouched.But since the signing

of the convention it is now safe to open these lands to

the population.

Thx to Mr Food & Vandy for the 2 cool maps i got of the Stex

City Update

----------------

City Health & Education

---------------------------------

The city prides itself on having one of the best Health and educational

systems in the world,offering sims a near perfect education.The cities

H & E bill currently runs at around $290,000 simoleaons a month.Which

by far is the cities biggest expense.

Dallas H & E system to date consists of :

Health

-------

2 Disease research centres ,Capacity 130,000 actual 149,000,(hope they dont strike

  that would realy mess things up)

53 Large Medical Centres on $0 bus funding all over capacity.

Education

----------

20 Local libaries

3  Main libaries

9  Museums

3  Major Arts Museums

45 Large Elementry Schools,@137,000+ students

25 Large High Schools     ,@150,000+ students

11 Colleges               ,@82,0000+ students

1 University              ,8700      students

0 opera House

 Other things/ problems  ive started to notice are:

Mayor rating falling -(

Enviroment quality seriously declining,due to commuter pollution.

Commute time now 120mins

City profit margin decreased by 50%.

Crime increasing

Many roads ,well over capacity ,worst are avenue crossroads.

Rails and subways ,teaming

Residents average income plummeted

Life expectancy decreasing.

Cost of importing power and exporting garbage increasing.

Many less than half full R$$$ buildings.

Dilapadation and R$$$ abondonment.

No Co$$$ Demand, C and I demand completely bottomed out.

4 Random orbiting Large Meteors that have entered our solar system.

Many of these problems ive been dealing with since very early days,but

with very little available land left in the city ,its getting increasingly

more difficult to encourage growth .

Sardinas

------------- As work on Dallas draws nearer completion i was gonna draw some sc4 pics of

more rural,scenic towns and Villages,but i just cant help myself and have already

started work on the regions next Major City .im hoping to apply the things ive learned

from Dallas and grow an even bigger one -)hehe..The city has quickly established itself

in the region with a population of over 700,000.

Wow, nearly 5 million people in one city!!! Most be the biggest metropolitanarea I've ever seen. Quite impressive indeed. I think there is quite much traffic in there.

[sloppet 3]

The region shot is a bit.. well.. weird..

[rooker1 4]

OMG.....now those are some crowded cities.  You really live up to your name, "GRIDLOCK".
Great work.

[Salbador 0]

Wow nearly 5 million ,watching this one ! Your health and education expenses are astronomical

if i hadnt seen the city growing in the cj ,i might assume that you had hacked ,in some kind of way.

However all i can say dude is exellent work evolving the city ,cant wait to see if it reaches 5 mill !

[Gridlock 9]

Sisu : Hey welcome back ,it is nearly 5 million hehe,so close yet still so far away.

Battlecat: Hey ,Welcome to my cj,thanks for the compliment,its taken nearly 2 million HT

    jobs to build enough demand for that downtown and many 100,s of 1000,s of Manufacturing 

   ,Dirty industry jobs aswell.Glad you like it.

Rooker 1 : LoL ,its not locked up yet but you never know.Thx for visiting.

Sloppet : Thanks ,I also love the new additions to the region.

Salbador: If i had hacked, the city would be around 90 million right now ,lol

          thx for visiting.

Still working on forming the rest of the region hope to have an

update soon ...

[Gridlock 9]

Hey All ,Sry for the Lack of updates recently to anyone that checks
out this cj ,the summer can be a real busy time for me,and i get very
little time to do the things i enjoy.

The regions capitol continues to grow despite many
inner city problems...

Hey guys ,thanx to all who have visited .

Now that the brit summer ,lol , is over, outdoors seems less appealing

so i spend most of my evenings now playing SC4 ,or other comp games again ,,yay !

 Even tho i havent updated ,the region has grown quite a bit since last time .

Im realy quite pleased with the regional population count at the mo.Regionaly

Co$$$ demand is maxed out and i could build skyscrapers anywhere i choose .The

Well this is looking really really nice, the terraforming up above is cool and i like the farm layouts, and amazing work on the beaches!!! Keep it up!!!

[jacqulina 162]

awesome work and pics you have done some fantastic terraforming,nice suburbs,your beaches are beautifull,excellent transport system.all in all a awesome job on your cj and pics

[wouanagaine 84]

awesome beaches ! and your pop is hell high

[SC4Noobie 5]

Wow, that region is massive. But for being so huge, the downtown is just a sea of skyscrapers. You need a mega skyscraper  to find the center, and make it really stand out. I suggest you download the Al Burj (a skyscraper that very few know about right now) from this website, bottom right. Then it'll tower over the rest, and give your city a supercool effect.

[Gridlock 9]

Hey Guys ,just been on a 2 million simoleon shopping spree , Ive given the
centre of town  a bit of a face lift and here s the results .
