A updated interchange, with a better on/off ramp system.. Another Updated Highway Interchange.. Now, there is traffic on it... There was...

Well, lets start the real story now! The current year on Araluen Island is 2020. It is a completely independent Country, and is among the most economically powerful in the world. Almost a quarter of all world wealth is inside Araluen. The current goals of the country, are to become the World Super Power. With the best country in the world. This means, best transit, best parks, best health care, best protection, best everything! So this means, that the counrty won't stop at spending vast amount of money to...

Well lets continue upon my storyline: The country was founded in 1705, under the name of Century Island. Back then though, it was a very poor place. The first year it was inhabited, it had nearly 70% of people die from unknown disease. But, in just 5 years, the disease was cured. With this disease cured, nearly 30,000 people came to the island in just 10 years. But then, a large problem was appearing; Britian. Britian started taking interest in the island, and eventually took it over. From the year 1710 to...

Well, I think I am starting this CJ with a before line Introduction............ The Intro: In the late 70's, China was becoming quiet the super power. The City Nation of Araluen, was also quiet powerful. For it's size anyways. The county started investing greatly upon Computers, nearly half of peoples investments went to computers. Which, finally payed off in the 90's. When, computer company's become very wealthy. The Nation of Araluen started building unbelievble wealth, and soon started investing into...

Well, some of you may be thinking that i am releasing Araluen 2.0, but sadly.. Nope. This is just a space holder, for the index.. I'm still going to have plenty of teasers, and other things.. But anyways, Welcome to the index page! On the index, you will have a little overview of each update, before it comes out!! Also, I'm trying many new things with araluen 2.0. These things are called segments.. What Segments are... They are updates, that are all on their own, no storyline, no future, no past.. But,...

I actually haven't been on AT all since the last batch of teasers, these are just pictures that didn't make it into the first batch.. Here they are: Some fancy houses! More fancy houses, along with a 6 lane avenue, oh how I love them things I'm going to let your minds wonder on this one.. *Cough* Government Building *Cough* Some nicely laid El Rail Tracks.. But, notice the commercial, Once again showing the city isn't ready for release.. Hope you liked batch 2 of Teasers.. Expect Batch 3, sometime in the...

I actually haven't got much done since the last teasers, expanded town, worked on the highways, and started designating parks... I have plans for a very very large park, located in some part of the town.. Not sure yet though.. Also in parts of the suburbs I plan on having a massive canal system (for looks).. Anyways, heres the pictures! A large church.. but maybe it's something more than just a church? Something like this isn't hard to make, I just like the look of the 6 lane Ave.. And, I'm going to end...

This, is really just a teaser, and a text update... I uh, remade the downtown of the new Araluen today, increasing the commercia jobs from like 80k to 168k. So now, I have a larger downtown, and a much better look I just need to expand the city out, say a few tiles and make some parks, and stuff and the city will probably be done. Anyways, before i make you fall asleep, heres that teaser picture: I still have plenty to do, but downtown is like 70% done. I really like the dense look of it too, the last...

Update 4.

By froelich131,

Well, I already made update 4 before starting the new araluen, so here it is... I thought very carefully about this, since it was the biggest task ever given to me. I had to make some kind of T-interchange, but which one would be most appealing, and cost effective. Option 1. (please note these are all designs of what they would look like in the area they aren't actually built) Option 2 Option 3. I very much like option one, but it is nearly double the cost and building time, than the others. Option 2, is...

Araluen 2.0

By froelich131,

I have some good news for you all today!! I am going to announce the start of a new project today... Araluen 2.0. With better looks, better region, better city, better everything! The reason behind this, is I just downloaded the newest NAM, NWM, and RHW. I couldn't before because of conflicting issues, but now i can! So, expect maybe a update or something. It probably won't be a story update, just a city update. So now there will be 3 different kinds of updates.. City Updates: Focused all about the city....

Well, since I won't be updating the CJ for over a week, I am going to have this. This is something I am trying out. It will be a behind the story, part, where I talk about the development of the city. So lets start. The current city is at 220k people. Thats including North City though. Just a fun thing for you all to know... The story is actually in chapter 2. I just haven't caught up with the Story yet. The city is very close to start updating, just a little more expansion, and growth. Each new chapter...

Today, I was visiting my friends house. He lives on the new developments on the smaller island across from downtown, called Lower Island. It didn't really take me long to get there, since my house was right off a highway, and close to the bridge. But, about 20 minutes into chatting with my friend, my Aunt Called... She was moving, into the newest developments in the eastern part of town. I said I would be there, in maybe 20 minutes. But, I forgot what time it was, and it just so happen to be 5:32... Rush...

Hi again. Today, I woke up normally, did my morning routine, and headed down to my office. Once I got there, everything seemed the same. I had the usual pile of minor tasks needed to be done. But, when checking my office Inbox... I had a special note. It was basically 1 neighborhoods list of complaints. On the top was Highway Traffic Noise. I thought for a second... Before reading more. It's when I read more, that I started to take interest. This group said that they will pay for the walls to be put up....

Hi there, my name is Tim, and I am a City Engineer! I am just moving into this city, and hope to help make this city wonderful! First though, I need to move in. So lets check out some houses for sale. I like this one, but there is just to many rich snobs living by here. Lets check out another house... I like this one, but it's just to smelly for me.. I wonder why... Well, lucky me that theres another house for sale... This one is really nice, but, it's really far away from my downtown offices. This...
