The end...

By Evillions,

I might as well end this CJ on a good note. After giving some thought and consideration, I feel its best for me to end Onubis and leave AIN due to my busy schedule and lack of motivation of SC4 in general. Does this mean I will go back to SC4? Depends if my interest sparks again, then I'll start anew with a different nation. For now, I'll have to end this. My never released photos in its unedited glory: Van Holksa Ido Gurreo: The Latin Wasteland Onubis in the Arab Spring... Cya guys!

Ido

By Evillions,

Somewhere in near Tokyo, Japan, resides a small yet bustling city; Ido. Though most of its residents work near Tokyo, more businesses are steadily alluring its own residents. In the outskirts of Ido resides the poorer residents, most of them work in either local shops or farms. Only a few people can afford in these houses as these cost around ten million yen. Despite this pricing, the area's education is ranked the lowest in the prefecture. Therefore, only old citizens live here.

Well, it has been a while since I have updated this CJ. Although I did had time before to make new updates, I got lazy and wanted a break from SC4. At least now I'm back and ready to play some more SC4. Here is something I have in store: Stay tuned for more!

Guerro

By Evillions,

Guerro Before the Resource Wars on 2077, Gurreo has been a thriving tourist city in the Caribbean. Unlike most Caribbean city governments, Gurreo is not corrupted nor dictated by the military. However, the Resource Wars changed everything. During 2077, the United States and China were engaged in war such that it involved almost all nations. As situations escalated, the Chinese military launched over one-hundred nuclear bombs on major United States and their allies cities. Unfortunately, Gurreo has been...

Yizan

By Evillions,

Yizan Yizan was founded during Ottoman rule, all it was just this simple outpost. As of today, it's known as the international friendly city because of European influence. Even the original settlement is still standing as a national park. With the extra tourism income that Yizan has gained over the years, they started building a modern high-rise hotel / condo. And the result.... The overview of downtown Yizan. Due to my photobucket account exceeded its bandwidth, I'll have to use imageshack to host the...

Ever since the people of the Arab World protested for increased human rights and less corruption, riots broke out in Egypt, Libya, and other nations. Though no outside nations helped the people, they successfully overthrew their leaders. What if foreign nations did help the people? What if it happened in Onubis? In a hypothetical scenario, the United States did intervene in a civil war in Onubis. -------------------------- With increasing human right abuses and government corruption, the people of Onubis...

Rashed

By Evillions,

Welcome to Rashed! This district alone accounts more than half of Gobar's fish-related products. Mainly, the fish caught are cod or tuna. After the fish is caught, they are stored in these warehouses. Aside from the fishing industry, Rashed attracts thousands of tourists weekly. The middle-class and lower usually stay at the Faruq Hotel. On the contrary, the upper-middle class and above would stay at the Rashed Hotel. Due to close proximity of the UNESCO Heritage Site, prices are in the 670 OD range (or...

Gobar East

By Evillions,

Gobar East While the downtown of this city is located near the Gobar International Airport, the people suffer from noise and moderate pollution. Compared to the other areas in Gobar, this is considered to be the second most desirable area, behind the main Gobar district. Unlike most districts of Gobar, this district is the most educated because of high-attendance in local schools and a new outlook on education. For this reason, more wealthier people are moving into this district. Contributing to this...

Gobar - Southside

By Evillions,

Gobar is not a complete wealthy city like Dubai, this city comprises one of the largest slums in Onubis. Based on the 2010 census, there are over fifty-thousand slum residents living in Gobar. Surprisingly, gleaming skyscrapers were even built in the South-side. Parisian architecture is somewhat common in Gobar because the city used to be the prime trading port in the Middle East. During the French's time in colonial Onubis, Parisian architecture was built so that the French feel closer to home....

Oahu - 3

By Evillions,

After a few years past, Oahu erected its new skyscraper, it being the tallest in the island. Due to a recent edict enacted by the Oahuian government, natural wildlife must not be disturbed by human interaction. This new law positively impacted the wildlife near the lighthouse. In the southern area, a park was built to promote a greener future.

Zain

By Evillions,

Going west from Rashed lays the most unique town in Onubis, Zain. This small town is known of its grassland and scenic ocean view. Another notable difference from the rest of Onubis is its unique architecture. Zain's architecture features a shade of white and consists of recycled material, making it a green architecture style. To accommodate for the large amount of tourists, series of hotels were built such as this one. For the richer tourists, the dock has a Mediterranean styled beach house. Due to its...

Kaihal, known as the worst city in Onubis. Various of crimes and drug routes are extremely common. What's even worse is the police force is corrupted and kills the innocent. The president responded by sending in millions of dollars to Kaihal for urban renewal. One example is tearing down the Asian Central Market for more modern buildings. The water-side slums are slowly demolished to create beaches or other amenities. The beaches have barriers to separate the slums to the beach....

Gobar South Pt. II

By Evillions,

Gobar South Pt. II Its nighttime and the city is lively as ever. The shops are usually packed with gullible customers and offices with 2nd shift workers.

Only partial sections survived throughout the centuries. This old city is considered to be one of the remaining in Onubis. Currently, this area is being restored to its former state...

Aslaband North

By Evillions,

Here's a more slumy look on my middle eastern cities. Hope you like it... A few of apartment blocks next to some landfill and streetmarkets. Very poor living conditions and a very high chance of diseases. Probley one of my best interchanges I've made. The Najid Tower is the most wealthy-ist condo building in Onubis. For example, it has a penthouse at the very top floor that costs about 20 million USD cause of its features and location. Only the richest people in the world can afford a penthouse like...

Gobar East - 2

By Evillions,

Welcome back to Gobar! The international airport has been expanded to accommodate for the recent cargo terminal. Although the terminal is relatively small, it is enough to ship from point A to point B without any difficulties. Last but not least, the overall progress of my region. I have special plans for the upper left portion.

First, federal contractors planned the new site of Mugal Headquarters. After tearing the site, construction begun and almost halfway near its completion. The first skyscraper is finally erected with hundreds flocking to the new building. ------------------ While areas of Onubis are receiving federal funding for...

With the extra funds, the Kaihal government decided to transform several local shops into hotels and offices. For now, the area is being cleared and the last buildings are still under demolition. Construction has begun and the construction layouts will change overtime. With all buildings completed, tourists and locals flock to the new sites. Although there is more projects to be completed, at least the city center is mostly reconstructed.
