Chances of Snow Showers Yes it's finally cold enough. Meteorologists have forecasted Snow along the foothills of the Lovise Mountains and even chances of showers at sea level. Commuters are advised to prepare appropriately for winter weather driving. The snow is predicted to fall sporadically throughout the next couple of days as arctic air from the south push up and remain over northwest and west central Folland. Showers have already stared at Hinali where the trees have begun to whiten. Pedestrians have...

07: Small Town 'Livin

By Follarch,

Okay! Well it's been about three whole months without an new entry, but I've been spending some time on a town so I might as well show my work. This is going to be one of my canon towns within Folland. Small Town 'Livin - - - Gerard is a small town to the north of Leahpolis, a major city in Northwest Folland on the west side of the Lovise Mountains. (Yes, I've named them now so we can actually call them something.) The town is home to 5,300 residents, a good chunk of them farmers. Home to a Folland...

Welcome back! - - Detouring from the war, Outreach Island is a small inhabited, mountainous island in the South Rites sea (west of southern Follvirkeland). Quite chilly most of the year (and downright freezing in the winter), Outreach was long ignored until later in the years of the Home Defense Act. Follvirkeland was in the process of building a Fleet for the Cilician Ocean (north of the Rites Sea), but needed Eyes and Ears off the mainland to catch anyone wanting to come "visit" them. Outreach was then...

06: Airbase Capture

By Follarch,

Showcase| Airbase Capture - - - - Not exactly a story update, but we're heading back to the deserts of Malo as the "Invasion" of Malo progresses into Phase 2 of Operation Desert Mace. Early the next day after Follvirkeland forces arrived in Malo, Operation Desert Mace sprang into Phase 2. The Militants had been using an old Airstrip that had been left over from the Great Adonian War for their own purposes. This Airstrip will prove vital for Follvirkeland to be able to transport more resources into the area...

Hinali's on it's last legs simcity-wise. There's not much else I can do with the tile now that it has prop pox and has been saved over so many times. So here's a few pretties I took of the tile when I was on. I wanted to make the waterfront similar to Manhattan. Gleaming towers right along the shore. Then it gets dreary over at the Capitol building. Dunno why people are enjoying the plazas, being soaked and all. Silly simcity. And then a night time overview of the tile. I turned up the contrast to make it...

Building a new large city on a large tile takes a ton of effort, patience, and thinking. I'm busting my bum on sections of road here and there alone! This is probably why I always do small towns, they can be done within 2-5 hours. Big cities? I'm spending days, weeks on these suckers. I've already spent well over half a day on this new tile I've decided to start. Making my next big city! What it is, though, is just a random. I've called it Miketon as a placeholder, and it's on a region that isn't suitable...

Welcome back! - - Dipping into the Fiction now, I want to introduce you to Follvirkeland's first Capital city, with it's name stolen from my previous journal. New Uniden. Short history lesson, New Uniden was the first colony established in the continent of Euphemia by the overseas nation of Mervey. (Think Norway) New Uniden grew prosperous due to an overwhelming demand in the logging industry, creating surplus in the business of export. Hundreds of years later, we see this: It's not as big as one might...

Welcome back! - - We now see Follvirkeland's reaction to the Bombing earlier. The Criminal Investigation Department confirms who was behind the detonation and what their ties were, which led them to a Militant group operating in the deserts of Malo, a country a part of the United Sovereign Nations of the World. With the invitation from leadership of Malo, Follvirkeland mobilizes. Follvirkeland's Expeditionary Force finally arrives in the Tresta Sea, just off the coast of Malo. The Expeditionary Fleet, a...

First Looks at the town of Gene, Folland. Okay then, I opened Simcity4 and did a little development and watching of the Automata as they zoom across town. Quite enjoyable. This is more of a filler, I don't have anything awe inspiring to show right now. I always end up making little towns. Well here's another. As you can tell, there's been some effort lately. Don't kid yourself, there's a poo-ton of island left to even render, not to mention develop on once rendered. I like to show off my trains. You just...

Hello again. Miketon had a growth spurt. It was messy, teeny bit gross and icky but just like everyone's horrible adolescent years the city is starting to steadily grow into itself. Quick note, my highways and elevated railways were successful! Obviously, tons of Maxis. Most times its not a bad thing. Buuuut... North. East. South. I love this part more so, just cause of the highway winding up the hillside. West. The city center where the highway T's west, east and south. I love the clustered look to this....

Hello! And welcome back. It's been quite a very long time since I have done any kind of City Journaling. However I've gotten back into the 'groove thang' of SimCity 4 lately and now I believe it's a great time as any to finally return to SimTropolis. This time though, we're leaving my last CJ, Follomer. Hell we're gonna leave Earth entirely! Cause this is; 'The Republic of Folland' Folland is a Socialist and Democratic Scandinavian inspired nation of my own imaginings. Think of it as a Norwegian America...

Introducing the 15th Province Gilbertson Island ------ Recently added to the roleplay but saying it's always been there just cause, Gilbertson Island is off the west coast of Folland, sitting in between the Folland mainland and the Okanamapi Islands. The entire island is it's own Province and has a thriving rural populace with large towns along the coastline. (soon to be built) The entire island is connected to the mainland by a single crossing made up of two bridges. When the populated grew too high,...

02: $Money Shots$

By Follarch,

Welcome back! After spending days upon days of building up this one city, I finally reached a point in it's development where I can post some good looking pictures to show. So I present a couple nighttime, $Money Shots$ Hinali is the (new) capital city of the Republic of Follvirkeland. The last one having suffered catastrophe upon catastrophe. First being a magnitude 7 quake, and the second a nuclear detonation. (background for this to come soon) Basically they were clever excuses to get rid of a city I...
