Replies: eufl: Thanks for reading through it all, I really appreciate it and I'm glad you enjoyed it. As for the British planning that's probably down to what I'm used to and some limitations of the game. Entry 9: Sticks and stones So unfortunately growth has slowed down a bit here in Antario, mainly due to trying to come up with a solution for the whole oil industry collapse that has happened, as such today's entry is going to be a bit more relaxed than the previous ones focusing on the many areas of...

Entry 8: More Growth So today we have a report on the general growth of the city and its surrounds, including the first satellite settlement and the issues with the oilfields where we'll be starting as since last time they got even worse. Caused mainly by the halt in production of raw materials as the wells dried up meaning that everything had to be imported for use by the refineries we had this rather large issue. 1. This, coupled with the rising costs of running the refineries now there were no resources...

Replies: kschmidt: Thanks, glad you like the growing city! Airplane09: Thanks and no worries about being picky, it shows that your interested in the pictures! As for the overpass, it was simply that the photos weren't taken in chronological order. As for the path alongside the riverside it was meant to represent a quay side but thanks to the new content has become obselete. Hope that made sense of the confusion! Entry 7: General growth So, being entirely honest not a lot has happened in Antario since...

Entry 6: Suburban beginnings (and Power plant stage 2) So as the tilte suggests since the last time that we've taken a look at the city we've seen some development other than wall to wall and industrial buildings. With the demand for city living that might just have enough room for a drive and a small garden on the rise several developers won bids on the land that we saw the motorway exit for last entry and begun in earnest to try and build houses that they could charge more for thanks to a possible garden...

Replies: Airplane09: Thanks, I'm glad you like the city though there is already a bus stop at the train station. As for the mass transit situation as a hole it does definitely need improving. The only issue is that the city planners keep gettign distracted so god knows when we'll get round to it! Entry 5: Power Plant stage 1 So as the title and last entry suggests this one is going to be centred around the construction of our new power plant, an Oil fed facility designed to replace the older less efficient...

Replies: kschmidt: Thanks and it kind of does look like that place. It's a hell of a lot colder up here in Antario though lol. Entry 4: Well that's a slight issue! Welcome back to Antario all, where currently it seems that we are having a bit of a wet and windy day (OOC: So glad they fixed the super shiny cliffs when it rains. I've also changed things up in the theme editor again, let me know what you think) 1. However this isn't the only issue that has cropped up since the last entry with the latter...

Replies bofromer: Thanks, the rail and road are working up so far but I'm sure there far from perfect. I'll try and get you a image of it for the next entry. That would be a lovely DLC lol and I'm sure it would be useful for more than just me. Entry 3: Religiously Educational Industrialisation! So, were back with this confusing title that just about covers everything that's been going on in Antario since the last time we visited starting with this shot of the end of the Old Town highstreet, showing the...

Replies: ulisee: Thanks, lets hope I don't disappoint. kschimdt: Thanks, glad you liek the harbour. As for the skyline I would agree. Luckily the new patch allows me to use the vanilla theme on districts to give the skyline some height in places. Entry 2: A bit of everything So yes, as the title suggests this entry is about looking at various issues and items that have sprung up around the growing town as the investors have continued to do what they do best, invest. Unfortunately as your about to see...

Entry 12: Back to Business (hopefully) So, today we're back in Antario where thankfully it seems that things are back to business. Today's entry is a bit of a mish mash of images without a real story behind them so let's just get right into it. Further growth in the forestry industry has led to a boost in interest in the area. Meanwhile, in the quiet suburbs, the higher earners continue to live in their cookie cutter tech homes. In contrast to this, we have the hustle and bustle of the newer high-rise...

Replies: eufl: Thanks, I'm really glad your enjoying the CJ. Yer the water pump is a little on the large side lol but oh well. As for the farms they do take a while which is probably why the road layouts for them are beginning to outpace the actual farm detailing but I'm sure I'll catch it up. As for the power poles I'm not using any mods in this CJ sorry. Plus it makes sense to have the pylons as there coming from the actual power plant which is further down the single lane highway. Entry 11: Recovery...

Replies: eufl: Thanks, really glad you like it and steal away, I'm glad to inspire you! Don't worry about the village and the water, I'm sure its fine . Entry 10: An axe and a Plow So were back in Antario today where we can happily say that the industry is beginning to get back on its feet after the oil crash, mainly thanks to diversification in the industries that exist in Antario. Started in Froska, plots of land have been bought from the local government with the intention of agricultural use where...

Entry 1: Old Town

By 89James89,

Antario Welcome all to our fast growing town of Antario. Located in Norway this small coastal port has been struggling in the last few years, with the town funds dwindling as it tried to keep itself alive. Recently however, the town has been the subject of a large of investment by a group of rich investor who used to live in the town itself eager to not see their childhood disappear. The idea was simple. To retain the old wall to wall feel that the town already had but to grow it to become a bustling...
