Wow, the drawings are made using Adobe Photoshop? Looks like New Haven many, many years ago...

Edit: Silur, you mean page 7, I think! 10.gif

    Hey Back with the update

    Thanks for the kind comments

    Jaquilina - Hi , i was hoping , or thought you may like those pics

                im happy you liked them.

    Silur- Hi and Welcome, Thanx , and thankyou for opening this page

           first time anyones ever done that ,.

    Voulpiotis-Hi , i used irfanview to edit the pics,but i did use photoshop

               with the heal tool to remove the lil box.Hopefully the story

               will cover the appearance of Historical cities in New Haven,lol

    Shulmanator-Hey,Thx again , hope you enjoy this next pic also ..

    From his office in Central Dallas , Mayor Gridlock , heard the News

    ,Having never visited these parts of the region before ,Mayor Gridlock

    was unaware of the villages and towns that had grown within the National

    park, long before his existance.It was only when seeing the hand drawn

    sketches of a small town,faxed by a Dallas surveyor,the surveyor had been sent to the area

    to site a new massive hydrogen power facilty and chemicals dumping ground.

    The plan was to bulldoze the entire area,to prepare for a massive commercial

    construction project close by.The project was to create over 700,000 jobs

    to further boost the coffers of the Mayor,but meanwhile the presence of

    6 large bucket excavators on the edge of town , had made the newly adopted New Haven

    residents uneasy,the mayor had promised all residents new dwellings in new luxury

    low wealth high rise apartments,each highrise had 2 elavators ,and would surely with stand most

    earthquakes,also they would surely get a good view of the next highrise from thier

    apartments.The troublesome new residents of the kingdom had objected to the Mayors

    kind offer.The Mayor decide to take his helicopter to the region to see what all the fuss

    was about.

    This is the newly discovered city the mayor plans to bulldoze ,to make way for power facilities.

    A few locals of the town told the Mayor of other small historical communities in the park

    so who knows what we might find on our journey into this untouched part of the region.

    As the Mayor boarded his helicopter he could be heard mumbling , that he thought the canal

    would make a good highway .

    Hey

    Replies- Jaquilina , Thankyou as always .

             Voulapoitis, Hi ,Yeah sorry ive not finished that city yet

                          but i been playing my region a lot recently

                          and will have more updates soon.100 posts woo !

    Well , when the snow on the high ground melts in our spring time

    ,we get several weeks of fast flowing rivers as all the water makes its way

    to the sea , i was in this part of the region vacationing ,and was lucky

    enough to get a few pictures .

    so i decided to play it out and make some new cities, well i actualy had enough Co$$

    demand for 572,000 approx jobs and created 6 large cities which im still developing

    here s a teaser from 1 of the cities

    Hey ,

    Replies,

            Shulmanator - Hmm ,thx but its not snow ,it a natural violent

                          river , caused by the melting snow on the high ground

                          would surely wash you away if you fell in .

                           i think this update answers your question -).

            King Titan - Hey , Thats ok , maybe the night pics are a lil sucky

                          at least you like some of it .

            Voulpiotis - Hey bud , All the coastline you see in this update may

                         become port facilities aswell in the future.

    When i last played New Ark Metro Area , i had completely used all the CO$$$

    demand within my region,again at 37 million  the region had No CO$$$ demand

    New Ark is built with CO$$$ demand. The building of that city would have to go

    on hold until there was enough regional CO$$$ demand to continue.So basically since my

    last New Ark Update ive been working on increasing regional population, saving all

    CO$$$ that this creates for New Ark.So even tho ive done differant updates my goal has been

    increasing population as fast as possible,i plan a city but then start thinking of New Ark

    and basically end up rushing the city im working on just to get the population count.So

    i cant rest until i have completed my personal goal. I promise a lot more detail in my cities

    later this year , but for now my focus is on building New Ark,  everything in this cj

    is about building Dallas , then New Ark .My biggest obsticle on this is , time , i could build

    a 100 realastic cities and still not create the amount of CO$$$ demand needed for New Ark.

    So maybe in the future i will return to the 200+ cities ive made and add the candy, but i can only

    justify the time to do that to myself ,once New Ark is finished.Or maybe i might even let this region

    sleep , the scares are pretty deep in places, and i have treated this region pretty bad  chasing my goal

    .Maybe a new cj for the future but again i cant plan until ive completely killed this one -).

    Sorry for the babble ,just thought id give you a lil insight  as to my reasoning.

    Anyway Developing the park was taking forever for very little population , as i didnt want to spam it.

    So back to the main region i went to create enough CO$$$ demand , This is the area that ive been working on

    since,you can see just over 9 large tiles,all built with CO$$ ,industry , again ive built it as fast as possible

    but tryed to keep it looking reasonable.Im wanting to get the pop to about 41 million,before going back to New

    Ark Metro.The concentrated CO$$$ demand from 4 million + pop increase should do the trick with New Ark,or so i hope.

    That's one impressive region! My highest thus far has been about 15 million in a region. How many tiles altogether are there in this one?

    The region is outstanding, and 39,000,000+ inhabitants is a hit you have reached. Excellent maps and nice snow shots.
