Vercelli - The Marina

By Amerikaner,

Prato, Vercelli Have yet to post a CJ on this part of the site, and I figure after so many successful months ... or years ... of CJ's being posted over here I would give it a try. Maybe pick up a few new readers? Anyway this will be the new thread for my CJ, which will be random postings from around the nation in any particular order I do fancy I suppose. We begin in Prato, the capitol city of Vercelli.

Return to the nation that started it all. Vercelli. Although by no means brand new images, I'm bringing them over to this thread so that they can be showcased as apart of the work I've done before with Vercelli. A new take on an old city, Prato is the majestic and beautiful capital of the nation. Divided into several layers, the districts make it easier for the nation to track citizens movement and keeping lower classes from entering Royal and Aristocratic districts. Prato straddles along the riverbanks...

St. Gallen Welcome to the Historic District of St. Gallen. The city is divided into two districts of architecture, the western half seen below, and the eastern half which was largely destroyed during WWII and thus has newer and more modern construction. Like many larger towns in Moritz, St. Gallen is a narrow and very dense city, built to keep it's ecological impact small. There are very few roads in the historic district, citizens and tourists either walk through the crowded and winding streets, or ride...

Welcome to the small village of Laupen, the political center of Die Untere Hochland. The only canton with a direct form of democracy, members of the village and surrounding area meet once a week on Saturday afternoons to discuss local politics and to vote on measures, resolutions, and laws. This alone is a popular tourist attraction, and has lead to the building of a new train station in the newer part of the village. The GHSR is the national high speed rail company that links the capitol (St. Gallen) with...

Moritz - Kloten

By Amerikaner,

So this is something new, with no relation to Vercelli. I emptied my plugins folder and have been rebuilding it over the past few days. Kloten is what came out of it. So far this is pretty basic, I haven't spent a LOT of time in the lot editor, only because the idea is to finish the map before I go back in and pretty everything up. I do want to do a story with this, so this is kind of a teaser. After I get more of the basics placed and sorted out I will be coming back in to work on more plaza's, putting in...

Lorraine The Forgotten Kingdom Die Katedralen auf St. Marks is the largest Protestant Cathedral in Chloe' and is also one of the tallest structures. All major cathedrals in Chloe sit about 8 to 10 meters above the rest of the city, this was done to put God and his work above the rest of the city. This also ensured that no matter where in the city you stand, you could see the many Cathedral towers throughout the city towering over other city blocks. Die Katedralen auf St. Christopher is the Largest Catholic...

So I've decided to start on a new project, Die Republik Moritz. A pretty medium sized region, I will be working to completely fill it up with villages, small towns, and one major city (St. Gallen). I will be using this thread, so don't worry, you won't have to find a new thread to continue reading this. I'll give you some basic information, and then onto the first update! Moritz is a small nation located somewhere in-between Germany, and Switzerland. The nation has a strict policy of restoration and...

Lorraine The Forgotten Kingdom The King still reigns supreme in Lorraine and his rule is perhaps only overshadowed by the majestic Baden Baden Palace on Lake Constance. Built out in the center of the largest lake in the nation, its defensive position has made it the pearl of numerous historic nations that have existed in the region. Located 13km away over the Pfänder hills is the capital city of Chloe. Much of the city was destroyed during World War II, but the three styles of architecture that occurred...

Prato, Vercelli Progetto Phoenix The Phoenix Project, or Progetto Phoenix, is the largest private development project in the history of Vercelli. At a total cost of 19.1 Billion dollars, the Phoenix Project is expected to supply 30,000 permanent jobs and house 5,000 residents within its borders. With four world class hotels, a designer grocery store, it's own police, fire, and hospital services, along many other amenities, Progetto Phoenix is a select community secluded in luxury, class, and exclusivity....

Lorraine The Forgotten Kingdom Reaching the shoreline of Lake Constance, this lakefront district is mostly new construction from the growth of the city post-WWII. Today with close to 1 million inhabitants, it is by far the largest city in the nation and one of the major centers of economics, politics, and education in central Europe. The Grand Palace is home to the King and Queen when they are not residing in the beautiful Baden Baden Castle (seen in previous update), and today is surrounded by the...

Prato, Vercelli We begin our journey into the nation like millions do each year, by high speed rail. Vercelink is by far the most popular provider in the nation, and is our preferred method of travel. The line from Cergy, Movia to Prato is known for its beauty, ruggedness, and vast landscapes. The line runs in just over an hour, provding quick service between the two major metropolitan areas. Attendants speak Grecco, French and English along the line to inform passengers of their progress, and...

Lira, Vercelli Vercelli (Vërsej), or officially the United Kingdoms of Vercelli (Grecco: Ηνωμ?νa Baσ?λειa τςςι Ικτερ?aς , Italian: Regni uniti di Vercelli), is a small democratic kingdom nation located on the southern peninsula of Atlantica Alba, known as the Alban Peninsula. It shares it's western border with Buesti and Ravoi and Monte-Beausoleil, and borders Movia to the north. The independent state of Mount Physus is an enclave within Vercelli, and the Autonomous City-State of Sulla is also considered...

Okay... so this isn't new work by any means, but I was going through some of my older images on an old photobucket account and I ran into this. It was simply too good to pass up, and I figured I would pass it onto you. Some of you might remember it, for others its a new take on Vercelli. So yes... before you ask the title of this update is sort of two faced - a historical look at my work, and a historical look at Vercelli. Vercelli - 1624 (KIngdom of Ciampino) (Vercellian border with the Kingdom of Movia)...

Prato, Vercelli Castle = Work in progess. The shore side of the castle in the mosaic needs more work. But I suppose it's good enough to show off for now. This is more of a teaser for the next mosaic, which will be coming out next weekend. I actually have it finished, but since I don't have the game at college I have to spread out my updates between when I can build and when I can't. Enjoy!

26.5 miles north-north-east of Prato (Vercelli - Movia Border) I'm still trying to figure out what direction I want to take this CJ in, and I have it down to either some sort of story or a more directed journey through the nation. We will see I suppose... once I get back to my computer at home I can shoot out some new updates of Prato, or wherever else we decide to go.
