Well, the construction of the long awaited Truth and Freedom Spire has been completed, and along with the unveiling of classic trading spaces, the opening of the new shopping and civic square was a massive success. Developed across the duel-carriage way and within the heart of the new commercial land zoning, the civic square is now a hubbub of excited shoppers and those seeking relaxation in the various plazas and restauarants. Not to mention the massive boom to tourist economy the spire has brought to the...

3 Years into Ardleton's future... In just three short years, Ardleton has flourished! The two families continue to give such good guidance and governance to the people and the continued efforts of nearly every citizen means that the exciting hopes and dreams of the people are becoming the fruits of their labours... Housing has sprung up all around the outskirts of Ardleton, and families from all over are coming to live here, in hopes of a better future for their children... Baker Housing Estate With the...

Copse Ridge finally populated and open for business... At long last the long awaited community of Copse Ridge finally 'cut its red ribbon' so to speak and was officially declared an offshoot of Ardleton. It is recognised under the town charter and enjoys all the benefits of being part of the trade and technology based economy of Ardleton. Set on the top of Copse Ridge, so named after the groups of trees that populated its peaks years before, the town flows down the incline to a steep drop of about 20 feet,...

In our next update... With such demand for urban development, the Ardleton Council on Urban Planning have approved the drawing up of plans for a trans-urban development across Copse Ridge on the shores of the East River. Councillor Belan has already begun talks with several notable urban developers and the horticultural society is excited about the business oppurtunities the growth and sustainable expansion will bring to the eastern farms, currently located quite far out of town... Watch this space for...

For those of you that like the 'behind the scenes' pictures - I will upload periodically 'in game' pictures of the actual carrying out of my development... The first buildings are built... The first arable zoning is laid... Some arable land just after zoning, with only basic roads and fir tree boundaries... I will update this further with more 'behind the scenes' pics during the development before the final 'image' is created...

As with every major development, Ardleton has its fair share of notable buildings and locations - centres around which its inhabitants flock daily to further their education, development, careers or just to relax and enjoy the beautiful town and all it has to offer. Locations of Education... One of the most important areas of Ardleton life is the pursuit of knowledge and creativity... First of all, we see Ardle High, another focal point of growing developing Ardleites lives... Surrounded by trees kept in...

Downtown...

By EnochHeath,

Looking downtown, we see an overview of the layout and of the modern, clean asthetic Ardleton promotes. With an administration keen on sustainable living, waste and litter is kept to a minimum and Ardleton is praised for its clean and cosmopolitan streets... Downtown Looking closer now at some of these areas, we see the central square with Ardleton's distinctive town fountain, opened at around the same time Ardleton pledged its dedication to sustainable living... Ardle Fountain Moving slighty west of the...

With a current and rapidly growing population of just over 15,000, Ardleton is bursting with life, and is the perfect relocation location for someone looking to further a career in anything from high quality retail, sustainable urban development or technological research to traditional farming and outdoor pursuits. We begin with a view of one of Ardleton's neighbourhoods. We can see the school at the heart of the community, and just behind that a park and recreational area. Around this hub we see housing...

Welcome to Ardleton... Welcome to the growing rural-centric town of Ardleton (Affectionately known by its inhabitants as Ardle), situated in the county of Maysa. For several generations this town has grown from a small farming village to a thriving community. Under the supervision of the visionary Armon-Modele family, Ardle has gone from strength to strength and yet, though now these days buzzing with urban life and a cosmopolitan attraction to the arts, Ardle has always managed to stay true to its arable...
