Anduin Valley Revisited

[Fabiocb 1]

Hey Damork, great idea with the hotel and An

[Ramona Brie 121]

This is such a wonderful City Journal! I want to read more!

[ElmarO 0]

Thanks for the link you gave me for the hospital.

You constructed a very nice harbor area. And the same goes for the hotel. Nice job.

The preview of Anôrien looks very promosing.

Welcome on page 85.

MS (magpieshooter) - Kinata Region

Thanks MS, I don't know how many actually go look at them, but I guess ther must be some of you who do so, it's worth the time.

Take care

Pinchman

Hey Pinch!

Well I don't think I'm so quick, just two updates a week... but it's possible that it'll slow down a bit this summer.

Tolfalas is not finished yet, just the first part, there'll be four of them.

I like to work in those small areas, it's a bit of a challenge, the second part who's begining today gave me more trouble than the first! Sometimes I was quite discouraged by it, but with my faithful bulldozer nothing's to complicated! 

See you!

jglei701

Hi jglei701, I begun having fun with farming communiies after reading Dan's (Dhoppeii) La Plaisance County, he made it so inviting I then thought "Why not!"

See you!

S_A_ (Shadow_Assassin) - The Savannah Way[

Hey S_A, glad you appreciated it! This sector being small, it's bound to have small updates once in a while!

The hotel is: Hotel And Conference Center by simgoober

The fences you ask, they are something I'm currently working on, I plan to upload them to the STEX, as soon as I finish some dependencies checkin, and menu tweaking (nothing very fancy mind you) there's also some Q and A to do in the following days. I hope you'll like them.

They will be my second STEX upload.

Thanks for your support mate, and see you in Savannah Way!

Goin2Chicago

Hey you're right about that flag flying backwards, a bit strange don't you think?

That SimGoober's hotel is really great looking (see link in Shadow's answer above)

The filler pieces for the road, are this : Simple Filler Tiles by darmok

Yep I made those...   it's a small lot but very helpful.

Thanks for the visit!

Bat

Hi Bat, thanks!

ThomasAH - Valentinovsk&Liberty

Hey Thomas!

Thanks for your comments, and if you like the fences, they'll be on the STEX, as son as I finnish working on them.

Take care.

Bernhard (Nardo) - Urland a (mostly) rural coastline

Hi Bernhard,

Well...don't forget that there's three other sectors connecting to this, so the hotel/conference center has a purpose, it's more for the scientists than the occasional tourists. You'll see that in a few updates.

And as for the rail line, well the island is so small and hilly, that it would not have been very practical.

Always good to see you here my friend, see you in Urland!

Enjoy the week!

---

Cjah - Callisto

Hey Cjah, I really appreciate your comment about the farming area, I enjoy working with the farms and rural BATS. They have a genuine look and feel!

Thanks!

---

sloppet

Hehehe, I've noticed, how can you think that I didn't, Grommit looks an awfull lot like one of my dogs (who died a few years back), that's one of the reason I like it that much!

If it's a tribute, I'm really honored!

Take care my friend!

threestooges

Hey threestoges, well I was looking for a nice name for a nerdy bar and the Black hole just popped in my mind (I'm sure this must have a arcane meaning behind that fact!) and I'm told that some of the drinks have bizarre names as well, dig this : Quantum singularity, Event Horizon (don't ever drink this alone!), Meson and finally the infamous Quark Zombie!

See you!

Micah

Hey Micah, thanks for your kind words man!

Glad you liked the farming pics, I really have fun creating those rural communities.

Take care!

szarkoz

Hey szarkoz!

The lecture hall is this : Phath Auditorium by phath3

And Anôrien is indeed a good name, it's easy to pick a good one in Tolkien's books, you just can't miss!

And all will not be peace and quiet in Anôrien, there'll be some more "rock and roll" sectors!

Always good to see you in AVR!

Chris - DragonAnime - Palm Point

Hey Chris, thanks for your encouragement and appreciation, and if by any chance I made you think about trying your hand at rural settups, well, I'm sure you'll excel at it, being the detail monster you are! 

Can't wait to see that!

Take care my friend!

Choco (Chocolatemax285) - Green Depra

Hi mate,

Don't worry about that! We all have our RL problems, or pleasures in your case... seven days of hiking! Isn't this what the aborigenes call a "walkabout"???

Yep good eye on the banana farm, that's exactly what it is.

Glad to see you liked it, and here's some more!

Take care!

Jacky (jacqulina) - CJ: "Just wanted to show you my terraforming"

Hey lassie!

How's it going?

Easter was great, had a great family supper with the in-laws and children, always fun to watch them do the easter egg hunt! (not the in-laws but the children!   )

Hoping you had a great time too.

See you soon!

[mightygoose 92]

where i nall that is holy did you get the ULBT you know the golf ball. i want it pwease.

joking aside another well thought out, well planned, exquisitely executed update in a region that for me is probably one of the most realistic to date, congratulations. i hope you won't be too surprised when you reach the centurion

[tag_one 133]

wow looks really amazing. I love the way you terraform it, very nice. and great pictures

[Goin2Chicago 4]

i'm glad to see how you used that airbase because i was going to be putting the same one in my city. it's cool to see how this turned out, i like it a lot. can't wait for more!

[jacqulina 162]

wonderfull updates beautifull work and pics,yes thankyou i had a great easter

[threestooges 0]

Don't be surprised at p85: good things are in high demand. The airbase looks great. Is it a stand-alone bat or part of a set? As far as the missing buildings my vote is for a "dozer," to not see those magnificent buildings it would probably take a couple 'quantum singularities' if you catch my drift (incidentally, is it another quantum singularity in effect in pic 14 or a special road piece that allows for the t-intersection on the left). Wherever they are/were, the area seems to be shaping up nicely. I hope, if I ever make a cj, it could be a fraction as good as yours.

-edit- And I think that the ULBT is something I once saw in my landmark menu (origin: Seoul I believe).

[Ramona Brie 121]

Whoa. Darmok, this is it!

[magpieshooter 1]

I think that the ULBT is a sweedish landmark, some sort of hockey dome or something, what I want to know is where you got the airbase (I bet its Japanese). Fantastic update, looking forward to more from this sector.

[sloppet 3]

Well, it's good that you're honored, because if you wouldn't be, I would get some of those bunnies after you!

[szarkoz 8]

Nice, nice work. I especially like the airbase. Nice idea with testing an incinerator\power plant but... AVR must be very rich if it can afford a big hi-tech incinerator\power plant just for some testing Good update. Quite funny thing happened to me today... I had a dream. I wrote a CJ there And got some comments on first update and every comment said: I'm sorry to say that, but it's bad, really bad.  But don't worry, you weren't one of those people who commented it I'm looking forward to more of AVR!

[wouanagaine 86]

Hi darmok

Seems I've missed a few updates. Really amazing, I love how you setup the base and how everything integrates with the landscape.

BTW What is the bat with the 'H' on it ?

Keep it up. Want to see more !

[bat 6]

Great new update!

bat

[GMT 389]

wow!

where did you get this dome you called ULBT?

anyway, very cool update, again.

can't wait to see more

[vester_DK 477]

GMT: It's called the Globe or Globen (Swedish). There is one version here at STEX, but the original was post on simcity.ea.com under Landmarks & Props, the last one: The Globe Arena, Stockholm, Sweden

Darmok: Yet another great update. Love the way you are using jeronij's Breakwater togther with with the Seaplane base.

[rw0381c 2]

Darmok:

Great update!

And to answer your question: Sure RW is just fine with me!

Till next time!

[Cjah 15]

Excellent development of the waterfront and those planes look marvalous!

I like the simpleness of the area even though it is quite the high tech haven.

Great work and I can't wait for the next update!

[rooker1 4]

OMG............now that is alot of pics.  That alone is very impressive.  I like how you start with nothing, take a pic and than move on, and so on and so on.  Very nice little coastal airport, looks like it fits perfect there.  I have a real hard time building on a hilly areas.  I just don't like the end result half of the time.  But you have done a fantastic job.  Awesome pics.

And Matias is great and I'm sleeping okay.  Thanks for asking.

[Battlecat 14]

Very cool update!  Tolfalas is going to be a pretty impressive high tech area when it's done!  You've chosen some pretty cool models to work with.  Can't wait to see what comes next! 

[ThomasAH 0]

Hi Darmok

That airbase and the area around it looks amazing! 
I really like how you make your cities, very detailed and the results are amazing!

Thomas

[Fabiocb 1]

wowowowow

Damork, really cool work, you come with some great ideas to this CJ everytime, it is not just the planning and developments that are great but the story over it and the reason why everything is properly placed.

congratulations for this awesome work you're doing here.

[jeronij 13]

Hello again,

i just wanted to say A W E S O M E mosaic amigo !!! Really impressive "rurality" ;-)

amazingly amazing !!!

[slann 0]

Whoa! Nice looking updates Darmok!

Sorry I have been remiss in visiting ST when I was travelling - and congrats on 85 pages of beautiful terraforming, realistic terrain and excellent work!

and did I tell you that although I never said it *grin* your CJ's land terraforming has had an increasing influence in Valmont since its inception

Cheers mate!

[GMT 389]

It's the globe arena?

then I own it already.

damn, didn't recognize it...

Mightygoose - Newville

Hey John-

The link to the ULBT has been (graciouly) provided by Vester, (THANKS VESTER!)

It is the Globe Arena, just thought I turned it into a scientific gizmo!

Really glad you like AVR that much! And please note that your comments ARE appreciated, without comments, a CJ means nothing!

So thanks for your support!

Same thing here, I had that lot for a long time waiting to find an interesting setup, then this idea came along and I thought "why not!"

Glad you liked it!

Threestooges

Hi Threestooges, the air base is this : CdS Seaplane Base by ripptide

You're indeed right, it was a dozer, though perhaps it was a Vogon dozer!!!

The T intersection is a custom piece made by Dhoppeii, that I'm testing, I don't know if and when he'll upload it to the STEX.

If you make a CJ I'm sure it'll be good as long as:

1. you do it for you

2. you have fun doing it

and

3. take your time!

Enjoy your weekend

Take care

Battlecat - Terra - An evolving region 

Thanks man!

At the start I thought that doing this small area would be a piece of cake, but I must say that I hit the wall severall times when doing it, just ran out of ideas of how to place things and all. Luckily the end result is not too bad.

Take care.

Thanks for those VERY kind words Fabio, I just try to have fun with the game!

Hoping you'll appreciate what's comming!

The three forementioned persons, namely: Bat, Pinchman and Szarkoz, by their constant visits and interest toward Anduin Valley, has attained the citizenship level.

So it's with great honor and pleasure that the Council awards them their own and genuine

Anduin Valley Passport.

Please receive them and may they serve you well.

And now lads and lasses, without further ado, here's

I really hope you enjoyed this one, you'll pardon my little references to the world of Hergé (professeur Tournesol and Moulinsart), but they were fitting so well in the "theme" that I just couldn't resist.

I just can't say how much I'm pleased with the overwhelming support you're showing to AVR, it's really incredible.

So to all of you THANKS!

Well, well, D... You're doing well here.

5.01: Turn off the grid! I can see what you're going to be planning for here...

5.02: Hmm... guinea pigs, eh? That gives me an idea. The two buildings fit together well.

5.03: Teflon Research, eh? It's a sticking business. Shame that it's so slippery. Do they do it for cars? I want an easy way to scoop off the bird crap that occasionally falls on my car.

5.04: Well, I suppose it's a good place if you want char-grilled steak. Lovely job.

5.05: Indeed you do, Darmok.

5.06: Hmmm... stripy streets?

5.07: Looks good, what you've done here.

5.08: I don't know if they'd like the constant static from the communications tower - you know what mobile phones are like.

5.09: Looks good!

5.10: Well, about time you got to work on that.

5.11: MAMA looks good. Is there a Special High Intensity Training facility nearby? [put together the first letter of the first four words... ]

5.12: Looks good up close, though, it doesn't match with the street texture you have on atm.

5.13: My goodness, he drives a minivan! *gasp*

I was expecting a Renault.

5.14: Looks good. But er, garbage truck?

5.15: I suppose.

Looks great, Darmok. I got your references. [same guy who did Tintin, right?]

Cheers, --SA

edit: Is this sposed to happen?

I got that, even though your images are hosted on Imageshack.

[wouanagaine 86]

I really like your update !

Not only because the final result is so realistic, but also because you show us all the steps that lead to it. So really big thank for that

And Tintin is great

Keep it up

[sloppet 3]

Good update there D.!!

Congrats to evryone, except Szarkoz, I really don't like this polish person... Only not him! Oh darn...

Looking forward for some great work here D#1!!
