Version 2 of Batlen

By Sepen77,

I have decided to obliterate the previous city as it wasn't so good. The map and general stats are still the same but instead of an all natural feel at the begining, I have decided to start with an highway, Route 37 (ingame streets). Here is my new approach on this cj: (I have to yet change the banner for my new batlen!) Long, long time ago on a far distant planet, there was a fat guy with pink underwear... Just kidding! So... Sometime in 1900, a fisherman from British Columbia named Finn decided he could...

Comments: @andrew13: I will try to include as much voting as a can. But for now, lets jump into the next update. 1926 John Miller, a painter who decided to pay a visit to Batlen, was an old daring man. He climbed a tree to paint the first painting ever to show a portion of Batlen. He introduced a new type of painting method where you apply the colours one by one, never to go back to the previous colour. So he started by adding alot of black to his canvas. Then went on to the other colours. Black, alot of...

Comments: @DC: I didn't quite understand it either! It was just for fun (Cont'd from last update) ... All the citizens wondered what had happened inside Travis' house. When they went inside, he was gone. No where to be seen. Everyone was puzzled, but it never occurred to anyone that he wasn't even in the house during the break-in. Travis drove his car back from the Capital (somewhere far away!) with his grandson, Allen in the back seat. They had a warm welcome as Allen was going to stay here in Travistown...

Comments: @Pipelad: Thanks! I know some detail is lost but it supposed to look old and 1900's. I got a new Banner! (you can see the city has developed a lot over the years. Last entry, some workers got to rent out small houses. So Travis thinks he's doing pretty well. He decides to call in the contruction company again to build more. This time, there was enough houses for everyone to share. All the workers are happy with more time on their hands, while Travis is happy with all the money on the hands! Days...

Farms Galore!

By Sepen77,

Travistown is aging... and so is Travis. Travistown is 6 1/2 years old, while Travis is 76 1/2 years old (never knew he was that old, did you?) Travis Logging Inc was busy cutting down the trees in the north for the citizens to farm on for the last few years. The company that almost built everything so far in this village was about to build barns (BTW, they are called Gaie Construction Co). Now most of the citizens aren't employees of Travis anymore, most are farmers! The demand for clean freshwater pumped...

Doug Batlen's Plans

By Sepen77,

Comments: @DC: I improvise half the time. So some intresting things appear without me even noticing! 1920 Many believe that Doug is a very odd mayor. Some think he`s crazy; while others think of whom calls Doug crazy is crazy. This went on for months as half of the population argue with the other half about what would be good for this village. But one day in late August, Mayor Batlen announced a referendum (a voting for citizens to make a choice about Batlen). Doug is planning to expand Batlen a huge...

1921's Glories

By Sepen77,

Comments: @DC and Bajones: You were the only two whom voted other than my friend, who also chose industry. So here comes the smoke stacks! 1921 This was the year of many changes to the town, both good and bad. During late Spring, construction of the newly planned Industrial Sector named "Bomb" was completed. Though some didn't want the aweful pollution that it would bring, they were surprised that it wasn't as bad is it sounded. The air they breathed still seamed like normal air. The new Industrial sector...
