Far Away and Long Ago

[mtbrocket 2]

Here is a picture of a thistle. The Pumbas use the juice from the thistle to make a drink that is intoxicating. The liquid is a golden hue and tastes like raspberries mixed with peppermint. (Warning, do not hunt jungle quall while intoxicated.) This picture is up in the hills. The jungle is less dense in the hills. I will talk more about the hills in a later update.

Some posts of some members are missing from this page.They were deleted on purpose .Not that they were offensive or anything, it just so happened that they were better to be deleted, so mtbrocket may have another start after these updates.

 

Thanks for understanding

Nice CJ by the way........

[Fabiocb 1]

nice, and quite interesting to see how the city got better, and I love the way the monuments and governamental buildings are placed.

[mtbrocket 2]

Update Number Four
Yet some more pictures of another watchtower. This one is in an enclave of Cheeses. They like their privacy so this is the only tower manned by Cheeses. You can see why, living in the middle of a hostile jungle, the home of kill rabbits, why there could be a bit of paranoia against outsiders.

[Fabiocb 1]

nice terrain and the mods your using looks quite nice (water and land).

 

[mtbrocket 2]

Thank you, sloppet and Fabiocb for your replies. I am glad you noticed my progression in the CJ. It has come a long way even with a sometimes-rocky road and a sneeze or two on my part. I will try to show more government buildings in future updates, as I aim to please...just not at quail.

 

On with the show...

Update Number Six
To continue the jungle theme

[mtbrocket 2]

Update Number Seven
As you know the Pumba society is highly complex so to resolve disputes they use the Symbols of Power. Steeped in tradition, these symbols are ancient and their use is complex. We, in our world, would most likely not understand the subtleties of this system but I will provide them to you for your advancement in the Pumba ways.

The Rock, strong and powerful breaks scissors.

The Paper, flexible and nimble covers rock.

The Scissors, sharp and precise cuts paper.

The symbol of the Grand Pumba trumps all.

Update Number Eight

Picture 116.1

I wonder what will happen.

[mtbrocket 2]

Update Number Nine

Now back to Root Delta as the city is changing. The first thing is a rezoning as the demand of housing is

greater than that of farming.

Picture 117.1

Old zone.

Picture 117.2

Picture 117.3

Picture 117.4

The new zone. Mmm mixed use.

Picture 117.5

[sloppet 3]

great update mt!! update 9 is fantastic!

[Fabiocb 1]

nice and big changes on Root Delta, it must had been quite a difference from the local habitants, as it past from a calm area to a busy industrial/residential one.

[mtbrocket 2]

Update Number Ten

One of the many nice and big changes in the region is the new demands on the rail lines as the city changes from a mostly agricultural district to a busy industrial and residential center full of inhabitants. The passenger trains, freight trains, and tramline all share the same track. A Pumba committee was formed and the solution was to replace much of the tramline with an elevated rail. Some new track had to be laid for the freight. The hardest part of the plan is to work around as many of the existing structures as possible.

Here is a really small picture of the rail system. Orange is passenger and black is freight.
Picture 118.1


You will need your magnifying glass for this. This is just the passenger stations.
Picture 118.2


Here are two construction pictures.
Picture 118.3


Picture 118.4


Here is the outcome. There are still some passenger stations. There is a committee working on that.

[sloppet 3]

nice update! great work as always!

[Fabiocb 1]

nice update, and as I love maps, I don't need to say that your rail maps is great.

[mtbrocket 2]

Update Number Eleven
A small update. Here are some overhead views. I just tried it out for the first time so bear with me.

Picture 119.1

As you can see there are a lot of rails especially in Bitter Wood Delta. This map shows that the construction of the elevated rail in Root Delta has been completed.

Picture 119.2


Ok this image bug is getting to me so I am going to wait a bit before the next update.

[sloppet 3]

11 great updates.. and did I say I love the daily napkin in this CJ? NO, so I say it: it's awesome! so funny...

keep it up!

[Fabiocb 1]

[mtbrocket 2]

Thank you all for your encouragement. As you may have noticed I include feedback into my story so keep it up. I hope I can get through this update without losing some brain cells dealing with the image anomaly.

Update Number Twelve
I want show off one building because it is a classic. This is copper Corp by JaWood.
Picture 120.1


The building is used for administration of sports leagues. Sports are becoming more popular in the region.
Picture 120.2


They are becoming so popular that a committee was formed to deliberate on the matter.
Picture 120.3


Maybe there will be a new stadium and new playing fields.
Picture 120.4


Who knows...

Update Number Thirteen
I think it is time to show some more shots of Pumbas' society.

Time for fish and chips, yes sir, lip smacking good.
Picture 121.1

Small shops are to be found all over the region since most Pumbas walk.
Picture 121.2


A small town on one of the many islands in the delta.

Liv'n in the hood.
Picture 121.4


Mmmm. Smells like home.
Picture 121.5


The Arena of Competitive Ball Athletics.
Picture 121.6


I...I...uh...I don't know what this is.
Picture 121.7


Neighborhood centers are important to the Pumba sense of unity. I wonder what type of fish live in the pond?

[jacqulina 162]

excellent work looking great and the pics are fantastic

[rooker1 4]

Pretty cool. I like how the farm areas were turned into res. and indust. Just like in RL. Interesting work over all.
