I don't know whom I'm updating this for, but since I've got over half of the transportation network done, here's a picture of the current state of Jelnur: With city names: It's a lot of work, and I don't expect to finish the transportation network within the next few months. But maybe I will start building a bit sooner. Haven't quite figured out yet how to go about recreating the different parts of Jelnur, though. Should I start with the medieval city center or with a low wealth suburb? Should I do a lot...

Medieval R

By Agricola Avicula,

Hi there, It's been a while, and I spent most time laying out more roads, railroads and canals. But I also have been downloading a lot of custom content that I would need when I would finally start building. Thanks go to all the BAT'ers for making their amazing pieces of art available! Now, with around 75% of the transportation networks done, I decided that it was time for some development in the city. Perhaps surprisingly, I selected a city tile that did not yet have the roads laid out as the place where...

Introduction

By Agricola Avicula,

Jelnur (Jelnyr in Surnichian spelling) is the capital of the Republic of Surnichia, one of the Scandinavian countries. It was founded in 1180, when a church was erected at the left bank of the river Spyyr in the honour of King Olav. In the 13th century, a Germanic people from northern Scandinavia settled around Jelnur and made the town into a flourishing trading city, with connections to the Hanseatic cities. However, it was not until 1836 that Jelnur became the official capital of Surnichia, and with that...

Especially for that one person that is interested in this CJ, here's a small update. I'm still laying out the transport network, so there is not a lot to show, but this is the progress I have made in the last 2 months. Now I've got about 1/3 of the roads, railroads and canals done. Transport view (still not figured out how to make the RHW visible): Some closeups: Intersection of the S26/N26 (East-West, from Jelnur East to Zoorá) and the S102 (North-South, from Heíjníc to Flatdal and Åmotsdal) Western ring...

A recreation

By Agricola Avicula,

In this CJ, I will try to recreate Jelnur in SimCity as accurately as possible. I got my inspiration for this project from the astonishing recreations of Edmonton and New York, here on the board. As with these two, this will be a long-term project, probably taking several years. I've got a detailed city map drawn on paper that I will use as a guide. It looks like this (but coloured): I started some three months ago by determining a plausible scale. The scale of the map is 1:15,000, which means that a...
