The wait is over.
I've been busy as hell lately, lots of traveling and assignments. I did squeeze in some SC4 every now and then and I collected some shots so I could post a meaningful update with lots of content. So there you go!
I took a break from the rural area to the northwest of the region and started laying out the suburbs of Shimmer, the second largest city in the region.
I'll leave the shots without comment. We're approaching Shimmer from the dense woods to the north, the smaller meadows to the northeast and the agricultural west along the main roads. Tried to blend rural and suburbia together as best as I could.
The suburban sprawl is centered around the crossing of the main north-south and west-east routes with a small commercial center to the northeast of the crossing. I hope you enjoy the shots as much as I enjoyed working on them. 
I hope this picture-heavy update compensates for the long downtime as much as I hope to avoid such downtimes in the future.
Working with the diagonals was a $%&^! sometimes, especially when that bug came in when I was taking the shots where the transparent base of the diagonal fillers gets black or blue or what. But I think it paid off, the streets really do come alive around the diagonal alleys and I'm happy with the results.
As always, please comment, like, do whatever.
