Aqueducts

By Chptrk,

Welcome_back_to_Leonhartia! Yes, it has been awhile, but it's great to be back! With school out, you'd think I could update more. Well, who knows? But enough talk, more pictures! The new barracks is almost ready, expect to see it soon. Those statues, on the other hand, you may have to wait awhile for, sorry! Let's take a trip back to Jessilina. Remember that little town? It only has two little fresh water ponds for drinking water in the town itself. As its population increased, so did the demand for water....

Leonia Rebuilt!

By Chptrk,

Welcome back to Leonhartia! A really big welcome back! It's been a lone while since my last update, about 2 months and 2 days! How bout we pretend I planned that? Continuing one from where we left off, most of Leonia was burned to the ground. Many people died in the fire, and many others lost their homes. The soldiers had taken over the city and instated a martial law until the situation could be brought under control. Emperor Trajan, who had planned to visit Leonia for relaxation, was saddened when he...

The Great Leonia Fire

By Chptrk,

Welcome back to Leonhartia! My apologies for such a long delay between updates, but this update in particular is quite special. It is special in not just one, but two ways. The first being that one year ago this day, I was asked to become a mod on Simtropolis! And the second reason for this update being special is that it will represent what I've done for Simtropolis since then... Oh, by the way, this update is about the Great Leonia Fire of AD 113. Caterina Olearie, the wife of a local farmer, had been...

Welcome_back_to_Leonhartia! Yea, I was expecting to just pop in with a little, "I'm still alive" post, then I remembered mega-replies. Nothing really big today, just some random shots of Leonhartia's development. To ease any worries, the cows have never left Leonia. A little wood cutting business has started to pick up on the road between Leonia and Jesilina. It may be worth noting two more things, first off, on a little piece of land across the river, there has sprung up another little villlage. The...

Alviano

By Chptrk,

Welcome back to Leonhartia! To the little town of Alviano, to be specific. It's just to the east of Vincenza. However, the town consists of two parts. The first part is on the river. Like most small settlements, it's nothing more then a quiet town. This dock is the only real connection between Alviano and the rest of the region. A close-up of the town. The other half of the town is up in the mountains, around Lake Julius. A close-up of the town. And how about some scenery? Look! Some horses! Like always, a...

Leonhartia, the beginning

By Chptrk,

Welcome to Leonhartia! Friends! Romans! Lend me your eyes! Welcome to Leonhartia, founded only 50 years ago. But in that time, Leonhartia has grown into a strong little town, reaching close to 1000 people! Why, when the emperor last visited, he said it was the nicest town he had ever seen, outside of Rome of course. But enough about that, let's visit the town! Here's a full view of Leonhartia. The town, farms, and docks can all be seen. Along with a small Mediterranean whale...hmm...moving on,,, Zooming...

Aelius

By Chptrk,

Welcome_back_to_Leonhartia! Remember my tutorial city, Aelius? Well guess where we're going today? Aelius has been growing rapidly lately and as it is not directly linked to Leonia, it is not living in its shadow of influence. Not being in the shadow of influence means that it can trade more freely in the empire, although it doesn't get protection from Leonia. City officials are debating on whether or not to build a barracks in the town, or to connect via road to Leonia and give in to its influence. (Vote...

Military Spending

By Chptrk,

Welcome_back_to_Leonhartia! Once again, the votes are in, and it was decided to build a new barracks for Aelius. The silly politicians realized that the barracks would allow Leonia to not have to worry about defending its neighbor, and they felt foolish about thinking Leonia would attack them. They then preceded to call in master builders from Leonia to help with the designing of the new barracks. After a few monthes of construction, Aelius ended up with this. During construction, troops from Leonia were...

Vincenza

By Chptrk,

Welcome back to Leonhartia! On ST7, nonetheless! So, this is part update and part making sure I can work the new forum. So, without further delay, let's visit Vincenza. While I don't have a region view for you all now, Vincenza is to the south of Leonia. Across the river and then down another river. However! You wont find it on a previous region view, because it's a recent addition to the region's size, all thanks to Blue Lightning. Resized to 88% (was 1024 x 768) - Click image to enlarge The small port,...

Welcome to Ouranina!

By Chptrk,

Welcome back to Leonhartia! A big welcome back indeed! It's been way too long, as mentioned above, so let's get on with the update! As the bridge and fort were being constructed, some citizens felt dissatisfied with the government. They felt unlistened to, so they went out on their own and traveled just north of the present Leonia limits to found a new city, which they called Ouranina. Not too much to say today, so here's just a bunch of close-ups. A farther out view of the town. And finally, a newly...

Welcome back to Leonhartia! A rather small update, but I hope you like it just the same. Leonia's had some more work done to it, here's a new shot of the city. Mr. Lamperio's newest roof statues are all the rage in this part of town. A shot of new farms on the east bank of the river. And finally, a new region shot. And the first one to be taller then it is wide! Down south, you can see lands added by Blue Lightning. And more importantly, the town that inhabits the area.

The Roman Attack

By Chptrk,

Welcome back to Leonhartia! Well, it was a landslide victory for the attack plan. Says a lot about you all, I think. The ships were loaded... ...and sailed off to the barbarian tribe. (Yes, there are four.) Here, the path is drawn in the bright red. Within only a few hours of sailing, the land of the barbarians was sighted by the lead ship. Soldiers were loaded onto rowboats. They then rowed to shore to begin the assualt. Barbarian men ran to their boats, maybe to fight back before the Romans landed,...

Welcome back to Leonhartia! First off, for those of you that may not have seen the old CJ section post, here's the current region view. Anyways, The votes were counted, the money spent, and the bridge was built. Introducing the Leonian Bridge. (And my new water mod) And with that bridge, the western side of the river began to develop. It was then decided that the town would fund itself a barracks, to house some soldiers to defend the region from any possible attack. The early stages of construction can...

Leonia Barracks 1

By Chptrk,

Welcome_back_to_Leonhartia! Just a mini-update today, so replies have been thrown onto the bottom of this one. Back in Leonia, the new barracks for the legions is even closer to being complete. Finally, the last of the major outer walls are complete! All that is left is for inner areas to be set up and a far larger amount of troops will be able to be kept in the city, freeing the citizens from fear of barbarians. Insquequo tunc tempore!

A new village...

By Chptrk,

Welcome back to Leonhartia! Today, we join a large fishing vessel as it fishes. (You can find its location in the South-west area of the map a few posts up.) A small squall blew the ship a little closer to the shore then expected, when the lookout noticed something in the distance... Boats! And some small huts! Upon sending a scout boat ahead to investigate, the scouts learned an unsettling fact about the village... As the scouts were being mutilated by axes, the lookout of the fishing boat informed...

A Poem of Misfortune, by Chptrk Excuse me from my absence, it was not at all intended, Another Leonhartia update had been planned, but for now it has been ended, First off all harm was done to me, Blind in one eye, I be, Hit in the face with a door, My right eye has quiet a sore, Bandaged up with a small patch, While looking like my avatar, this hatch Was meant to block the light, That could bring further damage to my plight, Temporary, this may be, Only for four nights plus three, The second problem which...

The Tutorial

By Chptrk,

Welcome back to Leonhartia! With the barbarians destroyed, the ships sailed home safely. Meanwhile, in the Northeastern part of the region, a new town of Romans sprung up. We could just check it out, or I could show you guys how I go about making these little towns! Tutorial style...sorta! Step 1: Pick a spot for the city. In this case, right here in the Northeast. Yes, that is the pause bar around the screen, I prefer to have time not moving when I'm terraforming, so I can have the date in the game as...

Welcome_back_to_Leonhartia! Sorry for the lack of real posts, here's a little something to make up for it! A full post of the re-done Leonia should be coming soon! Oh, and do you all know the recent props PEG put on the Stex? Well, guess who's gonna be using them? I made a little chess board out of them. I don't think all of those props are PEG's, just most of the statues. If you guys wanted/if I knew how, I could upload the lots to the Stex, so all of you could use them without having to lot them...
