The Rooleyson Journal

Wounderful, I really like Rooleyson :)

Wonderful! I can't wait for more!

 I started with update one of your city today.  I really like what you've done, and you've given me great tips on how to beautify my cities.  Wonderful job!

Asheroo, Rooleyson now looks better than ever.

Yeah wonderful it is! Just a question, why exactly is the quarry in the only protected forest and not somewhere else (or near the forest)?

@ Un1, it's not in the protected forest, but next to it. That one block is assigned to the quarry, were as all the other blocks are the protected forest. The quarry was created before the forest nearby was made protected. The quarry was built there as it is close to the TIP and on the industrial side of Kathine Hill. There are plans at the moment for a bigger quarry in the southern suburbs, but we'll build up the southern suburbs more first before we make any plans with that.

Wonderful as always Asheroo!!  A lot of your ideas gave me some inspiration in the city I am working on.... however I had problems doing the "highways" like you have them.  Still working on getting them right and then maybe ease some traffic hehe.

Quick question - in an earlier post you had a modern looking city hall and for the life of me I cannot find it.  Where is that building?

 Hey Jaybyrd, happy to hear I've given you inspiration. :)

As for your question, it's the Los Angeles City Hall, and is unfortunately only available in the deluxe edition. In the normal edition, you only have the Berlin City Hall (I think) for a large city hall.

Ah ok - I also looked it up and found it.  I have the Limited Edition and access to the city hall but it needs 2mil people.... so I am halfway there haha.  Thanks for the info and look forward to seeing more!!!

I love the way you've done the mines. Very clever! Can't wait till your next post

Fantastic!  I look forward to your next post.

I have said some fairly harsh things about CXL in the past, but your work in this city journal, Ash, is top-notch stuff.  Many of the pics, as you note, do show the games strengths of to great effect.  You really have something to be proud of here, and I hope that things do work out to where the folks like you who have achieved mastery of the game will be able to keep going.

One question- can CXL be played, like SC4, in true sandbox mode?  Unconstrained by the simulation, in other words- nothing costs anything, you don't need a this to have a that, and so on.  Your pics would actually, truth be told, tempt me to buy a copy if that was the case.  Just saying I'm tempted...

Good luck!

 Thanks David, and to your question, there is a mod at citiesxs.com (just go to the forums, there is an English section which I'm the moderator for), which is a sandbox mode. ;)
