20. The City Story - Conclusion on Cyrus Harbour

pingpong

1,721 Views

Hello everyone. I have been stopped updating for a while and sorry about that. In fact the city was complete way before the first entry, but I just don't have much time to take pictures, editing and composing the journal, and I have even less time after I've started working. Well the true is I wished to finish Cyrus Harbour before winter start and here it is now :)

This is the last entry on Cyrus Harbour. Personally I like it very much. Although there are plenty of space for improvement, but I somehow succeed to realize pictures in my head by the game. My personal favourite is Friendship Harbour, which is actually the first to be imagined and to be built.

And for the next project, well… as I said I don't have much time, it won't be out in the near future… but I have quite a lot of ideas in my mind. Since I will have a great days-off near Christmas, let's see if I have the time, energy and will to do so during that period…

I should stop talking now. Please enjoy the last one on Cyrus Harbour. As always, I welcome your feedbacks and comments!

Linkton

The whole area is the industrial area for East Cyrus. The highway cuts Linkton into half: east and west. East Linkton is the energy centre for the city. Key aspects are electrical generation, fuel storage, water treatment, and waste management.

West Linkton is kind of old. The previous industrial playground, although they are still running, they are less hot that they were. But yet, the unique atmosphere of the industrial cityscape is a key feature of the city

Hank

While being a residential area, Hank has some nice story. The only landmark is the Ruin of Hank Fortress. Hank Fortress was an important military observation point in the beginning of the settlement. It has a good view towards the bay of Cyrus. However a fire had destroyed the main building, leaving the platform which we can see today. The ruins is now a part of the park, and people come to imagine the old landscape of the city.

Hank tunnel goes through the entire Hank area and connects Linkton and The City network. By this the traffic problem of Hank is solved.

Friendship Harbour

Friendship Harbour is one important landmark of Cyrus Harbour. Being a yacht club and coastal park, Friendship Harbour is also a place for culture, shopping, entertainment, sightseeing and leisure. From the left we have Cyrus Harbour Art Museum, Friendship Harbour Underground Shopping Street, East Cyrus Town Hall, Malls, Coastal Parks, Hotels and the Commerce and Entertainment Complex on the middle height. All these are the great people magnets in Cyrus Harbour.

At the east side, after going through the mountain roads, as well as the Cable Car transit, there is the Mountain Lines Terminal. Trains go through the mountain area to other destinations like Betono or Barlon. Although the rail is not the fasted, the experience is quite entertaining.

And lastly, here is the regional view for those who want to see. It is not finished, though…

Beautiful collection of bats in your images. Plenty I'm not overly familiar with yet.

 

Like to ask where you found the red parking lot & the double factory building, center of the second image, just left of the Joseph Rank Limited building?

Interesting diamond interchange in the Friendship Harbour pic. I don't think I have seen it done quite like that before. That region shot at the end looks pretty unique and really good too. Great pics!

Thanks for the comment :) I don't really remember where the red parking lot come from, but I believe that is just a re-lotted 2x1 lot with default materials. 

And for the factory, it is actually 2 identical lot placed side-by-side, and the name is Fukitol Herbal Industries, which is a CAM-Lot.

Thanks! But I am really sorry that I don't remember where did I downloaded the building. The name is Amazon Ichikawa FC, and is actually a CS$ building. I believe that is from Japanese website, but I can't even google it for the link :(

Damn that CAM. haha. Wonder if there is a way to de-CAM-ify a building to use. Guess I can do some research on that since I do already have the model file of the building. Thank you for the info.
