Wow, your CJ still looks great! Your last updates, especially the update with the tower on the penisula, are really doing fantastic.

    This is the last bit of Root Delta. It is actually partially in the next county over, Bitter Wood Inlet. This mosaic was a combination between part of the previously shown Root Delta Mosaic and a Bitter Wood Inlet Mosaic combined together, air brushed a little, and split into two 800x500 photos. As you can see there is another walled town. Can you find the tower that was previewed earlier? There will be more photos of Bitter Wood Inlet later. I am very pleased with its progress. The Grand Pumba would be proud.

    Ok, ok enough already. Due to popular demand I will show pictures of windmills around Root Delta. Windmills are scattered all around Root Delta. The Grand Pumba has a grand idea of decommissioning all the old windmills and building a cluster of new wind turbines right at the shore. There might be some protesting from the workers and sub pumbas as they are popular attractions and give the city character. I wonder if the Grand Pumba will get his way or will popular pressure keep these venerable structures around? What do you think?

    sloppet: Thanks sloppet, I think.

    sharkbait16: I like the progression too. Like all things of this nature the level of CJ quality in general is going up. It is hard to keep up. Some days I spend more time on the CJ than on SC4.

    I prefer the daily paper towel myself. Those particular windmills are about my only source of power anymore.

    Here are some small shots to keep you entertained. As the Pumbas spread their influence through the jungle, new settlements are founded to spread influence. Railways and roads snake across the land. Even the Grand Pumba came up with the idea of a new, more modern, harbor.

    Highway construction. Hhhmmmm, I think I saw a tutorial on this.

    Where have I seen wacky commutes like this before?

    This is a clock tower to make sure workers get to work on time. Throughout the Pumbas control, all the clocks are standardized. A whole department has been set up just for the purpose of checking the clocks. Men with green coats journey from town to town checking clocks. (The use of atomic clocks is still locked in committee.) This has led to great efficiency in mail deliveries, rail transportation, and the cooking of three-minute eggs.

    Here is a regional population report. Phil, shown here, will latter be shamed by his coworkers for forgetting to wear his hat while doing the report.

    Here are some pictures from Bitter Wood Inlet. As you can see industry and residential are mixed together.

    This is the river that divides Bitter Wood Inlet from Root Delta.

    This is the harbor that connects the region to the rest of the world.
    Picture 99.2

    There are still many spots for future builds.
    Picture 99.3
    align=baseline>

    There are lots of rails in Bitter Wood Inlet. All the better to get stuff to the Pumbas fast.

    I also forgot. I learned a new trick; CTRL+SHIFT+S. Now I can take photos without the menu. Good night and good luck.
