Hello there again! First, a little announcement for those who haven't heard yet: it's kind of a long story, but it boils down to me losing my computer's hard drive and everything on it, including all of my SC4 files. Since I'm highly unlikely to get another computer with SC4 capability before my birthday in late October, don't expect any SimCity updates from me until then. That said, on with the update! Two members of Al-Pieda arrested in presidential plot by Constantine Williams Flag of Al-Pieda VERSON,...

Here you can see the airplane on its final approach. Outside, a convoy of specially-chartered taxis was waiting for them. After a brief tour of the city, they went to the various hotels that were to accommodate them, just as the sun began to set beyond the hills in the distance. The next day, President Slacker and the other ISC member who was staying in...

Today, we'll be visiting the area around Two River Heights, the capital of the Duchy of Mantaines, which, largely thanks to the fact that the Grandian Duchies were almost completely autonomous back then, was the most wealthy and powerful of the Nine Duchies until the Second Island War, which lasted from 1869 to 1873. After that war, most of the duchy was ceded to the victorious Belluterrans, including what is now Two River Heights, which was founded by Belluterra in 1889. It's very early morning, and the...

Scientist claims the end of the world is near by Jim Haskins Mutir numerals MERIDA, RUTERIA- Recently, a few Ruterian scholars have claimed that the world will end on December 23, 2011, based on information deduced from the Mutir Long Count Calendar. The Mutir Long Count calendar is a non-repeating, vigesimal (base-20) and base-18 calendar used by Mutir cultures. For this reason, it is sometimes known as the Mutir Long Count calendar. Using a modified vigesimal tally, the Long Count calendar identifies a...
