Always been a big fan of your work, it inspires me a lot for my own creations ! :)

Great balance between playing the game itself, LE work and MMPs. Your Cj is a great exemple of how to play the game "as it should be", and create a realistic environnment. Actually, you always manage to create an epic scene ! Of course, it requires time and talent to do so ! :)

"A last look back" is one of my favorite entry from you.

I was wondering as I see a lot of rail/road connections in your updates, do you play on a organized region or random tiles ?

 

 

Also, thanks a lot for the amazing custom content that you share for years now !

Never miss an update, keep it up !

 

Benoit.

Hi Benoit :-)

 

I was wondering as I see a lot of rail/road connections in your updates, do you play on a organized region or random tiles?

 

I play regions, yes - but organized? Nah... :-) I'm too jumpy and get sidetracked too easily. And I like to change my custom content too much and too often, either switching stuff in and out or re-lotting large chunks... So I have a number of cities that are mainly there to support other places with the needed populations, commerce, industries and so on, mostly with vanilla content - so you would not really want to visit them LOL - they are purely functional places, and some of them are pretty much "hell holes", because they are also the testing grounds for my lotting and modding adventures.

I've started countless regions with the intent to develop them into ONE regional map - never happens... sometimes I manage a few continuous cities, but then something else comes up that I want to custom lot... or the terrain does not match my current idea... or I'd need to load a huge batch of different cc for it... or need to start growing a 'new' city from scratch (a horrible thought if all you want to do is test your latest mods)... or I simply get bored with the region I started off with - I need closure once in a while, and looking at a large map with loads of "unfinished" tiles kinda creeps me out, puts on unwanted pressure... not very reasonable, I know - but that's the pattern I fell into and feel comfortable with :-)

Of course all my cities function, that's why you usually see lots of neighbor connections, full trains, all wealth levels, and so on... I may be a quite chaotic builder, bit I'm still an ambitious mayor, too... well, up to a point :-)

Well I know exactly what it is... Looks like I have quite the same pattern to build my cities, using support tiles etc... Also, I mostly use random tiles for my eye candy updates...

The ONE regional map, with that amount of work and details can be quite depressing ^^ Especially when you like to diversify.
