Suburban South Point

By evanm1487,

Welcome back to Borussia! As stated in the last entry, our journey through Borussia is going to be in more populated areas now instead of the small rural towns of before. Our first stop is the suburb of South Point, which is located NW of the center of the city of Bannockburn (which we will seeing later). The driver awakens us as we enter the suburban community of South Point, located on the extreme southern tip of the island we criss-crossed in the previous updates. The houses on the shore may be small,...

Welcome back to Borussia! SC4 decided to cooperate and let me get some screen shots today so here is the second part of the Amesbury update, followed by our travels through the South Bannockburn Area. Yesterday we left off in the Upper Amesbury neighborhood, located on the hill overlooking the highway. Downhill and to the west lie more modern homes. Back onto the highway we encounter many retail stores, a sign we are getting closer to Bannockburn. More stores. Homes lie on the hillside as we drive on down...

Welcome back to Borussia, lets get started! We ride the rails on out of Branaugh Wood station. The tracks take us through the farms outside of our next stop, Stretford. Our train drops us off at the Stretford station. Walking up the stairs we get a view of a local landmark, the old Prince's House. The House was built in the 1600s by the island's prince when Stretford was just farms and huts. Now it serves as the city's town hall. Just past the station is the home pitch of the local soccer team, Stretford...

Welcome back to Borussia! We leave our hotel by the soccer stadium and hit the road to see more, after eating breakfast of course! Some of the morning commuters already are at the station. We head on south and pass by a quiet neighborhood tucked away by the old roundhouse. Down the road we enter the St. James neighborhood, known for its historic row houses. A school is located nearby to educate the lil Borussians. The row houses begin to give way to the decaying urban wasteland known as Duke's Point. The...

Introduction

By evanm1487,

Here is the first update for Borussia! But before we can get to see more we must learn a bit of background info. This is the flag of the Union of Borussia. Borussia is made up of multiple kingdoms, states and city states that were joined together after civil war 100 years ago in a sort of socialist constitutional monarchy. The people of Borussia have a parliament that has a state house (the Borussian Diet) that represents the states and the people's house (the Populist Diet) which represents the people....

Stafford & Clovington

By evanm1487,

Borussia is back! I had just enough extra time this week to do this update. So, unless you want to hear more blabbering, let the tour of Borussia continue! Today we're back on the east coast of the isle, passing by trees, farms and a rocky beach. The water is a lil cool for swimming today. Following the highway we encounter buildings... ...and a city, too. This is Stafford. Once the capital of the isle, it now is a tourist spot that still retains many of its old timber-framed buildings. Very few new...

Welcome back to Borussia! Continuing our trek, we leave Green Cape and make our way to a T intersection Down the road we drive by the West Banks Motel, a place too prestigious for us tourists. (Lulz) and past the motel we reach the main street of West Banks. Any souvenir you need can be found in the small shops. Its a big town, compared to Green Cape. Other than that its pretty small. There's a football pitch in West Banks, just like most places in Borussia. Football/Soccer is the most popular sport,...

Back on the coast

By evanm1487,

Welcome back to Borussia! We ended the previous update learning about the community of Walden, and today we'll learn a bit more before we go. Back in Walden we go by the farmer's market. The stalls are full of locally grown food after the harvest in the fall, but today the stalls are mostly empty as fall has yet to come here in Borussia. Many people still come though to relax with friends and play the popular games that are always set up and running around the market. As we leave the market we decide to...

Amesbury, Part 1

By evanm1487,

Well if you remember this CJ from like 8 months ago, congratulations! I had planned on doing some updates throughout the winter...and spring...and summer but I stepped away from SC4 for a short break that turned into about an 8 month hiatus haha. I'm not sure how active my CJ will be in the upcoming months since college begins soon, but before it starts I will try to have at least 2 updates for you all to see. *I intended on having a large amount of photos for this update, but good ol SC4 kept crashing to...

Borussia is back!

By evanm1487,

After a couple of busy months, I've finally had some free time to play SC4. The next updates in Borussia will center around the city of Bannockburn and the suburban communities surrounding it. I'm not completely finished with the city, though, so this teaser is all I will be showing so far. The stadium pictured is home to the Bannockburn Bees baseball club, who compete in the West Borussian Baseball League.

Borussia-On hiatus

By evanm1487,

Well if you've been expecting a new update of Borussia, the wait is gonna be longer. The reason for no updates the last month was due to me being busy with schoolwork, but now that the amount of homework had gone down, I was planning on having a new update this weekend. Luckily for me, the computer that I play SC4 on has some operating system issues that apparently can only be fixed by reseting the computer to factory settings. I'm trying to get the region and all of my plugins onto a portable hard drive,...
