Ionica - Signs in the Stars

MilitantRadical

Welcome back to

Sagittarius

Ionica was founded in the sign of Sagittarius which is why one of it's predominant symbols is the archer. This Zone bares the name of the stars under which our great city was born.

Snow is rare in Ionica, but when it does snow it is a sight to behold. Lets hope whe have some for Christmas.

As usual all of the mosaics are in high resolution and you can see the full size by clicking on them, enjoy.

ggamgus: Woww... Such a huge city. One would expect it to have 20-30 million people. :P

Well you have to remember that Ionica is the city and Prince Five Weapons is a Zone within that city. The population of Ionica itself is currently only 4 million and it is constantly fluctuating because I'm doing a lot of construction and it isn't even fully built yet. I think I only have 40-50% of the Region built right now.

raynev1: WOW ,I,m in shock , This looks fantastic.

Thanks, much appreciated.

Harbin91: Love that road bridge next to the rail station.

Thanks, it was kind of a weird idea but I wanted to have it so that the roads didn't cross the rails to keep the traffic flowing nicely.

Schulmanator: Great looking area! Some very nifty structures. What's the slanty one? I like it and it is quite different.

Thanks, there are so many buildings that I'm trying to find the right place for. The slanty one is called the Yosoko building but I really can't remember where I snatched it from. I sifted through the Can't Find Thread to find it.

dubaidude303: One word.. Amazing! Great work dude!

Thanks dude. Glad you're stickin' with.

Hazani Pratama: Very Beautiful!

Thanks Hazani.

hahei: Woh, I love it! BTW, as you were saying about the future being Asian, I'd say It would be a mix of everything. Also, maybe you should read a book called "Physics of the Future", I think it has many new ideas that could be translated into city building.

Thanks hahei. For sure the future isn't Asian, that's more of an old school sci-fi mentality that you get from films like Blade Runner, even Serenity (not old school). I think I'll pick up Physics of the Future over the holidays; it sounds terrifying lol. Still, the world is going to end on Dec. 21st 2012 anyway, so Michio Kaku is totally wrong. Mayans 1, Kaku 0. Just kidding.

city89: where did u get the sports complex and train station can u give the link thanks.

I think the stadium you are talking about is the Dixon Kennedy Stadium, as for the rails stations which everyone is asking about I'm not so sure anymore, sorry.

SimCoug: Great use of transportation networks - I'm curious how well used they are - it seems with all those high density buildings you would get some great mass transit usage. Great pics as always.

Thanks, there is a big demand for mass transit in my city and that big station gets around 54% usage right now. However, I still have a lot of stuff to sort out because I'm totally revamping the rail systems throughout the city. When I first built the city it was really amateurish and traffic was even more of a nightmare, so I have to disconnect and rerout a lot of rail lines right now.

supercitys354262: Where did you get the Y interchange from that road?????????????// I'm Speechless.

It can be found here. Thanks.

Lislie: What a beautiful city and what a beautifal railway station. Is there a possibility it can be put online?

Thanks, sorry about the rail station, I haven't come across it again. I'm sure someone knows and can point it out eventually.

evanm1487: i don't know how anyone couldn't love this, nice job

Me neither :uhm: , thanks.

KonstantinII: The story is a bit too long and I didn't bother to read throught it anyway I like this city.I will soon create a city at start of 22 century.Ionica will have a neighbor as technologically advanced.Some of the pictures do not show up also. http://community.sim...e-colonists/You should use this mod to make your cities more futuristic.

Thanks, however I believe Ionica is technically in the 23rd century. Check out my New Years 2200 C.E. entry if you haven't already. Anyway, I gladly welcome a neighbor into a similar era. Strange that some of the pics aren't showing, I think the problem may have been on your end. Thanks for passing along those futuristic industrial BATs.

Kruness: if i might be fair i don't think this is good stuff, i think its AWESOME stuff!! you were thinking i was gonna leave a bad reaction didn't you? :D im evil MUHAHAHA!!

IT'S NOT GOOD! :angry: ? - Oh :O , its awesome :ohyes:! Thanks.

Adjiebrotot: that is veryyy wonderfulll

Thank you.

hjbk: Not fair... some people are nice... and some are just genius ;) Great, great, GREAT city

Still workin on it, thanks.

Thanks for stopping by!

I love, love, love how you did the canal! Having it on a sunken level with the roads overpassing and the decorative retaining walls is an excellent idea.

I agree with blunder - those canals really stand out. I can't remember the name of the creator of those vertical walls (from a Japanese site, I think) but you used them to great effect. And the night shots are stunning - so many colors! Great work.
