"Fifteen years on this dust-ball, and I look around me, and I think 'We can do better..."

"We will do better.  And another thing, I am quite well sick and tired of tofu!" - From the Diary of Colonel Anthony Won.

Fifteen years after touchdown of the Colony Ship Speedwell the city of Mayflower began development.  A canal was dug from the river and capped in what would eventually be named Colonel Won Park, named after the city's founder.

Construction was also started on a highway which would encircle the city.

With a steady influx of settlers, mostly workers in the steel and mining industries of Ferrisville as well as a large group of prospectors of rare and precious minerals, after 10 years Mayflower boasted a population of nearly 60,000.

With small suburbs to the north and west.

00towericon.jpg   Two years later (year 180 c.e.) The city of Mayflower sued Sanderra Consolidated Agriculture (SandConAg) and the city of Speedwell to clean up polution washing back from Speedwell's canals. (Arbitrated by Auditor Horatio Landon, case number SC015661)

A victory in this case, and a series of similar decisions allowed Mayflower to flourish, while Speedwell continued to stagnate...

Down by the River...
Down by the banks of the River Charles
(Oh, that's what's happenin' baby)
That's where you'll find me
Along with lovers, muggers, and thieves.
(Ahh, but they're cool people)
I love that dirty water
'Oh oh, Boston, you're my home

-E. Cobb

I think that you need more custom content. As for the city, you quite know where you're going. Keep it up :D

@furbrain: Thanks.  From my current development cycle, it looks like I'll be updating about once a week, but I'm also posting teasers in a related thread in the City Journal Forum called The Roaming Gnome's Guide To Sanderra.

@ Genericnamealpha: Thanks (I think?) Actually this is supposed to be the serious CJ.  The goofy stuff is in my forum thread

@kingdiz_55: Thank you.  Most of the custom content I have are commercial high-rises, which so far have stubbornly refused to grow.


I fixed the second image and its link.  Somehow the pictures got dropped by imageshack, although the original links were still there.

I'm using the THL Terrain Mod:

Terrain - Sandy Desert.dat, along with the following texture files:
Textures_Desert_Rock.dat
Textures_Desert_Sand.dat
Textures_Desert_ScrubbyRed.dat
Textures_Temperate_Grassland.dat
Textures_Tropical_Wet.dat.

I think several of those texture files need to be removed.  They may be causing some of the bugs I've been expeiencing, as well as that annoying green under the sand in the low-lying areas, so thanks for making me look!
