Lack of custom content: This should be fixed for the most part by now :-) My sincere apologies for not putting any images of custom content in the last entry; I am especially mad because I have had it the whole time.

Lack of realism: I live in a relatively hilly area and have for all my life, so I am sorry if you find South Point unreal; it is just what I am used to. If you do think that, Morgansville will probably look more real to you because it is mostly flat.

We now travel along the railroad a few miles northeast under mountain ranges (see map in first entry) to the far end of a expansive plateau (expansive in terms of the small island). We arrive at a small platform just outside of the settlement of Morgansville.

First of all, may I say that even though Morgansville and South Point are so near each other geographically, the Cultan Colony is like the american colonies long long ago; You were a citizen of Morgansville or South Point, not the Cultan Island. You were not united. So as you can expect, Morgansville is going to be much more different than South Point.

Also, this is where you can vote! The people want something to do in Morgansville, like a place for recreation, a gym, a park, etc.... If you notice the two patches of trees, something can fit there nicely. Any ideas? 

Back to the town. Morgansville had a much more developed government. With circulating income from the railroad that connects Morgansville to the ocean in South Point, the farms, and the businesses, the government has lightly taxed the middle-class citizens to purchase some needed things.

Probably the most important to the quick development of Morgansville is the school. This is Morgansville High School. An elementary school is scheduled for construction soon.

The other major contributor is the hospital. It is also worth stating that Morgansville has wind farms on the hills west of the town and clean water (and obviously, paved streets!)

All of this is made possible by the local government, who has monopolized the local economy, and eventually giving it back to the people with all of the improvements.

Above is a picture of the center of the town, near the industrial district and farms.

Some farms in the northwest area of the city.

We will close this entry on Rosemont Street (the brick one). A popular street that leads up to a dense commercial area full of little quaint businesses in the base of the hills (sometimes called by the locals "Little Hollywood"), we are at a popular intersection. On one side of the intersection, the dainty church, much overcrowded on Sundays. On the other side, the Rosemont Marketplace, which is much overcrowded on anyday but Sunday.

NEXT ENTRY: We will find out what is on the other side of that mountain.......

also, as you can see, I have changed the contrast and color of the images a bit. What do you think?

That changes in the contrast really affect the quality of the images, because the white is nearly blinding, and there is a bit less detail.

That town looks like a small city in a developed region, so I can suppose you have bigger cities.

IMHO, the effects are a little bit overdone, maybe doing the same but with a slighty less intensity would look nice. I've really liked the farms in the sixth pic (I guess they're custom, could you provide a link?) but I think that so large high school and hospital look a little pointless in such a small town.

Anyways, you're doing it nicely; keep the updates coming!
