Welcome to page 49 everyone!

 

Hey D.

What can I say about the Mosaic. I'm speechless (which is a rareity)

btw.

What off-site allows you to upload an image so big??

I'm pretty sure image shack only allows pictures of 1MB or less

Anyways. Take care my friend

[Deathtoall 28]

wow that overview was huge! Nice!

[dhoppeii 12]

There you go, showing off again I see  That is one huge mosaic.  Really great job with it.  Have a good week.....

[jacqulina 162]

hey that is one huge beautifull mosaic,fantastic work,i hope your weekend was a nice one,mine was ok thankyou 

[Darmok 34]

Sandra
I guess I am Sandra, Overall the whole process (with trial and error, because it's the first time I do a mosaic of an entire city) took around 4 hours work. But I think that I've developed a good technique in the end, and if I do another one, I can do it in half the time. But it doesn't change the fact that I'm nuts anyway!

Nardo
For the german part, I think I've found a good translating site, (from a german university) here's the link, you tell me if it's really a good one. http://dict.tu-chemnitz.de/

So I'm not the only nut in the bowl!
Yah my old box would also have had a seizure for that kind of work  , it was crashing even at the thought of opening a web page!

I agree about the highway intersection, it's just that with the diagonal avenue and highway and the lack of space available I was unable to do even just an overpass.
Have a good week!

i pretty much learned in game terraforming through this cj

and your use of road tiles as a level, so this is always one of

my favorite parts of your cj.  Looking very nice, this looks like

it may be quite a large city huh?

Hello my neighbor friend!

How can I thank you for all the links? The words to express my gratitude are missing.

I really appreciate all the efforts you done for me. Those bats looks so great!

Thank you !  Thank you!  Thank you!

(I'm really surprised that covered bridge is an in-game one).

 

Mosaic

Wow! so nice. I will print it. This is now my new reference. I'm gonna throw away my stategy guide.

 

Osgiliath update

Like I said before, you are the king of terraforming. I think you prepared the table for a huge city. Am I right! great work!

 

Well now I just can't wait for more updates.

Again, thank you so much Darmok!

You posted while I was preparing and posting my update, I just saw your post! sorry.

Thanks for your kind comments, and good wishes! I really had a great weekend, (I'm a F1 fan and it was the Brazilian Grand Prix this weekend). Glad to hear your's went well too!

Alek
Yep Osgiliath is based on a big city grid, and I might ad that up to now it's the one who's giving me the most difficulties, inspirationwise, , I don't know why I just can't keep a focus on this one, like it has a life of it's own, if it was a person I would say it suffers from a multiple personality syndrome! LOL. Anyhow I guess that I could be said for some big cities out there!.

Thanks for you visit man!

Pinchman

Don't mention it, glad to help!

As for the bridge, I was surprised too the first time I realised it was an ingame lot! It just appear as a choice when you lay out a road over a river!

Don't throw your guide away, it may be usefull yet, you could put it under an eneven table leg or something!

And yes Osgiliath will be a large surface city, not entirely high-density though it'll go through low to high.

Glad you appreciated man!

Till next time! 

[dhoppeii 12]

Well, that is quite a bit of terraforming right off the bat there my friend.  Looks good and looks promising.  I like the highway over the rail line, looks quite credible.  I did notice though, and perhaps you have already completed it, but the upper right parking area for the rail station has no access.  BTW, I really like what you did with the metered parking and what I would assume is short term parking.

[meinhosen 11]

Darmok,

That is a lot of terraforming.  The opening pics with the development of the cut for the railway line is great.  Looks promising!

[poops2u 2]

Hey,

Nice Terraforming! Everything comes out nicely!

Just a quick question! Where did you get these?

[jacqulina 162]

As you pointed out, that sector is already completed and that issue corrected, good eye though!.

About the parking zone it's exactly what I wanted to do, like I did in Anfalas with Il Tonkso station. More like RL that way.

Have a good week and good rehearsals.

Meinhosen
Every city begun that way, sometimes it can be a bit tedious, but once it's done the rest (usualy) goes pretty smooth!

Take care

John,

 

Another nice update.  I liked the mosaic in the prior post as well (thank god for a broadband connection...that thing was huge!! )

 

I like what you are doing so far.  The terraforming was good.  I'm not sure if I like the new format or not yet, but we'll see if it grows on me or not.

 

Great work man... keep em coming...

[pikatchoum 2]

[sorchin 18]

The Terraforming and Highway systems are coming along nicely.

I'm looking forward to more

[sandrasim1 2]

Promising start with the terraforming and the infrastructure. I really like the closeup of the railway in pic 1_13 with the small cliff between the dividing tracks.

[kant01 5]

Great pictures! Very inspiring...

[slann 0]

WOW!!!!

Hi Darmok! I have always been a great fan of Anduin since I came on - but I was a lurker hiding

 

I give you 5   for your wonderful CJ - will be looking forward t another 50 pages of Anduin *grin*

 

 

[palmgurl 1]

A teaser and some answers

sorchin
Hey sorchin
Thanks for your visit, an update should come tomorrow, I'm really short of time these days!

sandra
Hi Sandra, I like that small cliff too, but it was more of an impromptu thing than anything. I just thought that it would be nice to join Emyn Arnen, Osgiliath and Minas Tirith with the railway, so I had to come down and double back into MT, and by doing so it made the cliff, and seeing it, I didn't want to level it, we could call this, a happy incident!

Always glad to read you!

EDITED POST : I FORGOT ONE PICTURE IT'S NOW ADDED (2_17)

 

Hi folks, good news, more free time than anticipated on my lunch hour, and as Jason is kind of impatient , here it goes!

Jason,

Thanks for the comment, and here's the requested update!

 

 

 

 

So here's another technical one, hope you like it!

 

Have a great weekend,  I don't know if I'll be able to update before monday.

 

Always glad to read your comments and suggestions.

[Pooty 228]

Great development! Can't wait for more, darmok!

[Nardo69 51]

Even for a more-or-less non-terraforming player like me an interessting update! And I really like that cycleway underpass!!

Take care!

Nardo

[sandrasim1 2]

I'm nearly falling asleep over the keyboard and those terraforming pics made me even dizzier but I admire your patience and it's interesting to see how you work. The cycle paths are coming along nicely. Yet again it's a small detail that I like a lot and it's in pics 2_05 and 2_06 where the cycle path is meandering along the cliff.

[sharkbait16 0]

As they say, patience is a virtue. A lot of times I just make the entire city flat so I don't have to put up with any terraforming, or just simple stuff. Now I have something else to try in SC4.
