I just wanted to add to the discussion and to say that I have been working on a socialist city-state in sc4. It is ofcourse, not what you might expect. Anyway, to show what I mean about early soviet architecture, here are some of the main architects of the time: Vesnin Brothers Please keep all images at 800x600, or less. Mr. C. Leonidov: Ivan Il'ich Leonidov so these are just some shots of what many architects had planned.... here is my soviet city-state:http://skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=330168&page=7&pp=20

These shots are from my thread in skyscrapercity.com...I know I don't post here often, but I should get to that soon... Anyway, here are two shots, one is the Old Town District of my city Nueva Tenochtitlan. The other one is of the New Amsterdam District that is under construction...go down the page if you can't wait to see more...I will upload the stuff here someday.... you can see more stuff here:http://skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=330168 thnx Rayden

It seems that you all have the false idea of what a socialist city would be. In reality, a socialist city shold be filled with modern/futuristic buildings and modes of transportation. When I speak of modernism I speak of buildings like these: Also, true socialist societies can be linear cities connectiong old cities. Another thing that Trotsky argued for was the erasing of the divisions between the city and the country side. I am imagining fields next to skyscrapers or something like that. Unfortunately the economic settings in SC4 are set up for a city in the world of the market with certain classes etc. I mean, if you want to keep that nostalgia of the early twentyeth century that's fine. After all it's your city. However, as a socialist with interests in architecture and urban planing (who has studies some soviet urban stuff) I would tell you that alot of what we think of as 'communist' when we see a city, is actually stalinist. For example, the large moscow university or the palace of science and culture in Warsaw.

EASY EASY EASY! this is the first time that I make a request on the page... i hope it helps... this is what I need to make my city better: You will need a lot editor, a 1x1 park tile and some cranes... it's easy I think... here it is: I want that crane... or a "park" tile with a crane... these are the models I would prefer: Any one of these cranes would do (you can find them on the STEX) -Foss Construction Tower Crane -BJTBP Tower Crane -Plasticx Construction Tower Crane A -TBP Tower Crane V2 BUT THIS IS THE ONE I PREFER: the blue crane on the edge of that port... if you need ANYTHING... please ask, I am interested in a crane like that one of Glasgow... anything you need, just PM me. thnx alot.

wrong

maybe the request thread should become a subsection in stex.\ It should also be organized into serveral csategories: R,C,I, Utilities, Landmarks, Parks and Rec, and transportation... Also, a rule that people can only make one request every two weeks... or something like that....
