Replies: Shulmanator: Thanks for the read! And I will most certainly watch out for firey devil horses! Simmytu: Thanks! Hope you enjoy todays's update. Well, it's been forever since my last post (not true on simtropolis (i got behind here)). The holidays came and went and the new year came in like a fury. I have had very little time for actually playing SC4, which is really disappointing because I have all the writing done for this enormous series of updates. However the updates required the building...

Reply: Thanks Mighty Goose! I'm glad you liked it! Today is kind of a showcase update of some work that I did on Inakaye's capitol city. The huge Solace Bay update i am working on will probably be split into three parts, most of the writing is done, but I still need to play alot of SC4 before it's ready. Unfortunately I'm really busy, Hopefully I can get part 1 up before Xmas. Thanks for reading and here's today's Update. Auen was the first city of Inakaye, and this gives it the honor of also being the...

replies: Reikhardt: Thanks so much for your comment! I hope you continue to follow along! Today we have a smaller plot based update. There is a huge update that i am currently working on, but it requires some work on two cities, one of which is Mariston, which has become so big that any kind of work on it takes forever. Natural growth is like that. It gets slower and slower the larger your city gets. Even though my journal is very far from CSG's "natural growth" these days, I still try to grow my cities...

(click for larger picture) It was 6am August 13th in 1913. The sun was rising but Boris could not see it. There were no windows in his room. Still, a little light from the windows in the hallway came in cracks around the edges of his door. it was by this dim light that he awoke. The morning bell was about to sound he knew. He always woke up a minute before the bell clamored and woke the city from its slumber. He could not see them, but his wife Tanya lay next to him, and his two daughters lay on a mattress...

Reply: Schulmanator: Thanks for the comment, and I assume that Washam, would be the only one who'd pay for votes, unfortunately all the guys on CSG forums voted for morganfield, so . . . But every vote counts right!? It's been forever since I've updated, but that's the way things go sometimes. I have not forgotten Inakaye and plan to continue working on it when I can. I hope you all enjoy today's update. very plot heavy but necessary. I hope to have some nice sc4 heavy updates soon. there's lots of...

Replies: Tigeria: Thanks for stopping by! Someday we'll probably check in on Daniel and see how he is . . . There is a major election happening in Lake Maureen now. Mckinley Morganfield has done such a great job as the town's first mayor. But his term is up, and he is running for re-election. His opponent is the wealthy Rey Washam of the Lake Maureen Business association. In the past few years, Morganfield has helped this tiny little farming community grow to a bustling town with a population of nearly...

Black wolf is a town south east of Havalina. It sits on the shores of Lake Audra north of where the Rani River flows into the lake. It was originally settled in 1900 by a group of American Catholics who immigrated to Inakaye with the intention of setting up a Monastery. Well, in transit to Inakaye, several of the monks-to-be fell in love with women on the long boat ride. They decided instead to marry and found a community for Catholics in this new land. And that is what Black Wolf ended up being. I have...

Replies: Schulmanator: Thanks for following! I really appreciate it! Hope you enjoy today's update. This update takes place at the Burton Homestead, and It's been a long time since The Burton Homestead has been mentioned. For the background information on the Burton Homestead, please see Entry 9: Homesteading Heroes http://www.csgdesign.com.au/CSGf/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=227#p2161. The Burton Homestead is the last homestead mentioned in that entry. To set the scene, Old Jeremiah Burton, who had been the...

South of Solace Bay is a small town named Havalina. It sits on the shores of Lake Audra specifically at end of the Straights of Pleura. The main town is on a peninsula called Foxclif Point. It initallly began as a fishing community, but a larger farming community began growing around it. A year ago (1909), the settlement chartered under Inakaye Law and became a town electing Farka Toure as their first Mayor. As it was with Lake Maureen's Mayor (McKinley Morganfield), Farka Toure is the owner of the Town's...

It has been over a month in RL since there was news from Solace Bay. In Solace bay nearly a year has passed. It is nearing the end of 1910 and much has changed since the riots of March. James Wyant (President of the Solace Bay Co.), has taken extreme measures to control the populace. He has created an elite police force in addition to the regular Solace Bay Police. This new force is called the Department of Security, or DOS. Headquartered in Wyant's Landing, they have far reaching authority to monitor and...

The news of Inakaye . . . The biggest news is the election of a new first Minister. His name Guy Piccioto, and he became first Minister on january 1st, 1910. He is from Mariston and this is the first time that a first Minister has been elected from a city other than Auen. below . . . MARISTON (notice the two business districts, the south one is downtown and the north one is Marias. Mariston is about to beat out Duluth as largest city in Inakaye) Since the Political system of Inakaye has never been...

Replies: Schulminator: Thanks! Yeah I hear those things can be deadly. Cisco2: Most of the natural stuff was from the rural renewal project on the SC4D Lex. I also used Jeronij's plop water, and some of his rocks, and some sim peg rocks. My terrain mod is the columbus terrain mod and the water mod is brigantine by simpeg. Oh, I use cycledogg's trees. That pretty much covers the general. If you have any specific ones you want to know about. Vivipanda: Thanks for coming back! I am glad you liked...

Entry 17: What happened to Robert Wyant Robert Wyant awoke from a fitful sleep still sitting in his chair at the dining table in the Wyant Mansion. He remained in his spot all through his brother James' speech, and then even after the meeting had ended. His silence and lack of movement had gathered the stares of many at the emergency meeting who had expected him to show his natural leadership. James' firey speech soon had their attention though, and Robert was lost amidst the energy of James. And so Robert...

Reply . . . Vivapanda: Thanks for reading! We will have to wait and see how James Wyant and Solace Bay react . . . now on to this update . . . The very same evening that Solace Bay Co. president James Wyant gave his speech to rile up the wealthy residents of Solace Bay, another emergency town meeting was being held. This one to the South of the rioting city in the town of Lake Maureen. news of the riot spread quickly through the town, and since Lake Maureen is merely a kilometer from the southern limits...

Riots broke out this morning in Solace Bay in reaction to a series of events surrounding the chartering of the city. The Impetus appears to have been today's announcement of additional city taxes to be paid out by all citizens. Other grievances heard from the rioters included the unsafe housing of workers, brutality of Solace Bay Co Guards (who have now become the official police force of the recently chartered City of Solace Bay), and claims that the recent city council elections were rigged. The riots...

Entry 14: A Reader’s Guide to the Solace Bay Region “I’ve made a huge mistake.” - GOB Bluth Well, since this is my first CJ, and since it is also my first time really playing SC4 (played it for a little when it first came out but it was too hard for me to get the hang of), I have been really learning how to effectively do both. I originally wanted to create a massive country of many cities that all seemed alive and organic, much the way that CSG or Marsh’s cities do (both my first inspirations to write a...

Entry 13: Mckinley Morganfield’s First Year of Office It has been a year since the Town of Lake Maureen was chartered with McKinley Morganfield as mayor. It is time to see how his first year has gone . . . You will recall that his first major action was to build a schoolhouse in the town center. He also made a nice little park across the street. He has also set up the Lake Maureen Business association. You may recall that Mckinley himself own’s a store in town. This new business association is a...

The Rail Line that links the Iron Hills Mine to Solace Bay is now complete! Construction was finished a kilometer south of the Nior Renau Settlement earlier this month. Below is a Picture of the final Rails being laid. Also, a very rare water llama was sighted at the completion of the construction. This was taken as a sign of good luck and the future prosperity that the rail connection will bring to the Solace bay Co. The first train of iron ore ran the line earlier today. The preparations are being...

Excerpt from Solace Bay Co Board Meeting, November 16 1908, A little background about the Solace Bay Co executive Board. It is made up of 9 people. Four executive managers from various Solace Bay departments (Lumber, Mining, and two factory managers), and two wealthy investors who live and own businesses in the wealthy neighborhood of Wyant Landing across the bay (shown below). Also on the Board, The Vice President of Solace Bay Co, Daniel Johnson, and the Wyant brothers of course. Daniel Johnson has...

Solace bay Meet the Ocean The last time we left Robert and James Wyant of the Solace Bay Co. they had just had a land deal stolen out from under them by the new official town of Lake Maureen. While this infuriated them and they are certainly scheming to find a way to repay Lake Maureen for this trick, something much more urgent has come to their attention. Through the efforts of the Solace Bay Co. lumber division, over the past ten years, nearly all the trees surrounding the settlement* have been removed...

Homesteading Heroes This update has a lot of stories. I didn’t expect it to be so long when I started writing it, but then it ended up being huge. Hope you enjoy it anyway. Some of these people are going to be important in the future of the region, so maybe it is cool to have a record of where they came from. Since the founding of Inakaye homesteading has been an official and encouraged practice by the Inakaye government. In the beginning, the Inakaye government granted homesteads of 175 acres...

Lake Maureen Gets Official Region Map (Author’s note: It has been a while since the last update because I wrote an update about Mariston, but then decided that switching so frequently between storylines is too confusing. When I started out, the cities all interacted with each other, but now each region is big enough to grow independently from the others. So I have decided to stick with one city until I feel enough has passed that I might focus on another one for a while. Currently I am really interested...

Rail Comes to Solace Bay Western Inakaye Close Up of Region Five years have passed since the last update and it is 1907. Iron Hills Mine As you can see the mining operations in the Iron hills north of Burton Mountian have greatly increased. And while The Solace Bay Co. purchased the heaviest duty trucks available in the country to transport the ore to the dock on the coast, the amount of ore being mined exceeds the capacity of the current system. Robert Wyant has brought this up to his brother and the...

In the last post we looked at how Mariston developed into a major Inakaye port in the fifteen years between 1887 and 1902. Now we will look at how Solace Bay developed in a different sort of way. Solace Bay is located at the isthmus between the North Ocean (connected somehow to the Sim Atlantic Ocean) and the Great Lake Audra. As was said before, Solace bay is a smaller bay within the Larger bay of Wake’s Bay. It was here that The Solace Bay Lumber company started Logging local lumber and sending it...

In 1887, Mariston was a small farming community on the west coast of Inakaye. But in Just 15 short years the Villiage increased from around 1,000 inhabitants to 15,000, and included a heavy industrial sector with Inakaye's Third largest port after Auen and Duluth. This is a story of this transition. Here is a series of images that shows Mariston's development into a larger farming community over the 7 years between 1887 and 1895. 1887 1888 1892 1895 each year, a couple dozen families moved to Mariston...
