So I've been doing a complete ground-up rebuild of Mearcgræf, which like everything else I do in SC is taking an eternity. In the meantime, I've got into the favourite passtime of most of the island's residents, and developed the Arthurian Football League System to the point where it has 9 tiers and nearly 1000 club teams involved! The Arthurian Football League (AFG) itself, which represents the top four leagues in the pyramid, now has its 96 teams up for adoption if you're into football, sports in general, or just like abusing the opposition. For those who want to adopt a club, some of the details around their home grounds and history is incomplete, which you're more than welcome to make suggestions about. Not many teams have that level of fan interaction!</p></td></tr></table>

A few home grounds I've built, to show this isn't just a paper exercise!

And finally, part of the reason that the rebuild of Mearcgræf is going so slowly (other than the fact its just really big - 2.4 million sims in 21 municipalities) is so... much... terracing! Starting to regret changing the way I've been dealing with hills, but at least it looks good when its done.

I am always amazed by the tiny details you incorporate, whether in the city building or in the surrounding 'atmosphere' pieces. The map is amazing, as are the many club emblems.

 

Edit: I just clicked on the links - that is AMAZING. Now I'm stunned by your efforts for this CJ.

I mean... WOW!! I had trouble to fit 12 teams on Barnanova's football first division (still on development), I can't even imagine how difficult does it have to be to design 96 crests with 96 names and kits without falling into repetition!

 

Awesome, really awesome update!

Thank you all :)

Tekindus: I've got kits down to Tier 5 since thats the lowest Tier where a team has historical silverware, and you hit Tier 7 before finding any placeholder names. But the crests might stop there since they're easily the most work! I could give you a hand with the Barnanova league if you're struggling - send me a PM if you're interested! :)

Schulmanator: People only I'm afraid - the game would be quite difficult when you're the same size as the ball! Callevan Lions do have a feline name though, and several other clubs feature lions on their crest, such as Vortiger Novanta.

This is astonishing. What program did you use to design the logos and kits? They look extremely professional.

city89: The stadium is one of dmscopio's, but since he hasn't been sighted in years a download link might be near-impossible to find, sorry.

AEP: I spend a reasonable amount of time in Inkscape.
