Sanderra: Bringing Life to a Desert World

Spectacular work on the CJ so far.  Amazing work on the coastline in the second picture.  Placement of most of the buildings were thought out well except for the Giza Pyramid imo.  The pyramid's grandness could have been enhanced with a lot of open space with natural flora, maybe a canal running alongside it, and small vending stands in the distance to make it appear as a major tourist destination.  Just my two cents.  Overall, exceptional work.

wow this cj is great

@sunrise: Everything you say is true, however I chose the awkward placement for the pyramid on purpose to be an example of how the designers of Speedwell never get things "quite right".  Instead of being impressive, the monument becomes oppressive, looming over the east end of the city.  This, along with garbage in the streets (you'll notice some rubbish near the stadium) and roads that veer off at odd angles or end unexpectedly, contribute to a vague sense of unease felt by visitors and residents alike.

@Paul5: Thanks for the encouragement!

Well that is an interesting new setting. Are you gonna expand the motorways or why are they simply end up in nothingness?

Thanks.  Yes and maybe.  The highway to the west  will be expanded when the need for resources forces them to complete the bridge (i.e. I want to fill in a bit more of the northeast first.)  The "Road to Nowhere" on the east end of the city will be explained in the next update.
