Soviet Black Sea Union (SBU)

Why they do not make a new simcity with option to make a soviet city instead of the same capitalist crap...
Do not talk about Societies with me, that game is unique in its fail.

LOVE IT ! 

Can't believe it, awesome journal. Congratulation.

Just an advice : you should add a military base and some political commisars H.Q to defend glorious state of SBU against capitalist dogs !

Thanks everyone

Believe you me, its on my to -do list (especially  the Military base) along with dozens of other things. I haven't found the inspiration to do a full base, but I sprinkle in military components when ever I can (the ship yard, the airport, Pripiat, etc), seems a little more oppressive when they are in all the day to day places . I might sneak a commissar in the next city I am working on, so I appreciate that idea.

Continuing my gushing appreciation from the first part of this cj, I just can't believe you can create this stuff with SC4 - if the developers saw the stuff that was being produced now, 6 years after the game was released I think they would be amazed.

Incredible stuff, I am of course greatly looking forward to the next update 

Congrats on being #1 on nNIB

Thanks! I'll go put it in a nice spot on the front page

JJ88: might be a while, but I am working on one, don't you worry. I know there are a few CJs on my list that just blow me away with respect to how far we have come from out-of-the-box SC4. I'm glad I made it on to your list

Good :D

Are all those Russian type style cars photoshopped? Or are they downloaded? If so where can I get them?

Oh, those are real. Cars are difficult to photoshop in unless they are in the same spot in a different picture, not really worth the time for me to add them in when you can generate them pretty easily.

There are quite a few files from mikeseith that can change the look of your cars or just add to them. Here is one I know I have, although I am certain that I have quite a few more form him (like this).

Dark, Gloomy, sad, AWSOME! you have the most realistic communist sim city  a have a similar city but yours is 50 times better
5 stars! 

I only just started checking out your CJ, and I have to say:

Are you out of your freaking mind!?!  You've certainly blown mine!

I believe that it would not be that bad live in some city like Pripyat or suburbs built during the 70s in the USSR. I love big buildings and repeativity makes thing to seem cleaner. Pripyat had to be a great place where to live before 1986.

thats capitalism .... everyone is poor and the bosses are rich.

You seem to have a very narrow minded way of looking at things. Nothing in any of these images implies poverty, nothing implies anyone is rich. I don't see where you are drawing your conclusions.

And if you want to get political, please do it else where. I'm not about to list the rampant social chaos and corruption that was present (and still is in some cases) in now ex-soviet states.

 Too bad this CJ stopped, it's so cool and realistic and I think many players are inspired by this!

Great Work as alway! Dont ask me why, but I've always admired Soviet-Style architecure. (Im probly the only person in the world who does.)

P.S. Adrianor: WTH are you talking about?

Don't know why I hadn't been through this CJ yet, but just did, and 5/5 from me...epicness on every page...from the graphic banners to the photo effects to the landscapes to the communist urbanism

Utterley stupendous CJ, I admire your work!

? ???????????????? ?????? , ????? ????????? ?? ????!

"Soviet Black Sea Union" is the concept that changed my perception of the game, I stopped "playing" and started to CREATE.
Thank you for this experience.

Great CJ, really has that Soviet depression-ish feeling in it. And the weird thing: I think i actually would like to live there. :D It just looks so quiet and like it would be autumn and little windy. Place from my dreams :D

This is so nice. But-wow

It´s not the first time I´m looking at Your pictures and definitively not the last. I like very much what I´m seeing...
greetings, cf

This is an awesome City Journal !

It's sad to see it end. I know no one said it ended but it's been 9 months since an entry. I'd like to see more. Oh well.
