The Republic of Hugle

The entry was pretty good and pretty interesting... until the last picture. The urban area is a perfect square, which is extremely unrealistic and honestly, doesn't look good at all. I'm not saying because of the shape this city is "ruined", because it can be changed and improved. I suggest looking at Landsat photos of real-life coastal urban areas. Try to put high density commercial and residential zones closest to the bay, medium density as you go further back, and finally low density after that.

I mean something like this:

Cities with bays like San Francisco aren't squares, but rather the shape of the bay. The urban area should be more circular, or elliptical, surrounding the bay coast.

Just that. Other than that, it's pretty good.

Welllll I do admit tramabouts wouldn't be so practical, but meh

Yeah, it's just the last picture that really bugs me - it'd follow an elleptical shape, with the most density closest to the bay.

But it's still great, don't over-worry ^^

Great Work!

I think you should surround the area with suburbs and not just an empty field of grass, it would be much more visually appealing.

Also:
-You can fix the way the beaches look by going into zones data view, and back out.
-You can turn off the UDI icons in the UDI menu.

Not so bad... only thing that bugs me is the last picture.

Add some suburbs and it will look a lot better. What looks weird about the city is that it is a perfectly square pocket of dense urban area and then nothing. No farms, no suburbs, no country roads, just a flat drop into pure wilderness.

The next update is up now.

this city looks like its boom time was in the 20s or 30s

Hi, how do you do the   Tramabout  Thanks and great job!
