Very nicely done. I really like your style.

Y'all also know that if you just hit escape when the music starts right after "EA Games" it skips the intro.

I really like this city. Your style is very realistic. Keep up the good work.

Great CJ! I love your desert. What terrain mod are you using? My desert terrain goes green at water level. You have sand righ down to water level. How'd you do that?

This is looking great with the trees!

Sorry I have not been back for a while. Your animations are great. I also like your residential areas with the walking trails.

Congratulations on another Trixie. I realized I had never posted to your CJ and you were one of the regular visitors to mine. I really enjoy your mountains. With all those waterfalls and trees, it is about as opposite from my desert CJ as you can get. Keep up the good work. See ya.

Congratulations on the Trixie. The region is awsome. I am looking forward to watching the development. This is the one CJ I really look forward to reading every day. There is always something interesting going on. Especially the Alaskan eye candy.

There are many outstanding skylines all over the world. Houston, Sydney and Chicago are some of my favorites. But, in my opinion, this may be one of the most beautiful pictures ever photograped, by one of the greatest--Ansel Admes. Moonrise at Hernandez, New Mexico 1941

This is outstanding!!!

This is looking great. I like that winding little Fox River.

Looks good! Keep it coming.

After seeing the region shots, I kind of agree with Shadow_Assassin, the mountains look too "spiky". In the closeups, however, they didn't look as malformed. Not that there aren't spiky montains, maybe there are too many of them together. Because of the compression of scale in SC I have always thought that many of the mountains were unrealistic. In your case, with this this huge region, you don't have to compress the scale to go from river bottom to mountain top. I also think the other problem is that we only have sea level water. As I remember in SC2000 God Mode you could plop water in a mountain area and it would follow the contour to the sea to make a river. I don't mean to be too critical. I think this huge region is great and I can hardly wait to see where this whole thing goes. I'm looking forward to more

Jacky, this is great stuff. I like those farms in the middle of the woods.

This is one of the best CJ's on the forum. Keep it going. I can't get enough.

You asked for lurkers to come forward so I will. I have been lurking here since the beginning. I find myself coming to this CJ several times a week to see what is new. I love the detail of our cities, learned quite a bit from your tutorials and I have been very interested in this mapping thing you have been doing. I too have been frustrated with the unrealistic compression of scale with Sim City. You made it clear when you were comparing population densities with the real maps and same size SC regions. Now this 256 tile region is unbelievable! I thought my 25 tile region was ambitious. It is going to be interesting to see how this region develops. I wanted to jump in a couple weeks back when you wrote about studying maps and taking road trips as a kid. As it turns out, you and I were studying maps with a flash light under the covers in fairly close proximity. I was born and lived in the northern Chicago suburbs in the 50s. I remember many family road trips before Interstate highways to SW Florida down U.S. 41, through the beautiful mountains of eastern Tennessee, the boring slash pines of South Georgia and the endless scrub palmetto of Gulf Coast Florida. All we had for entertainment was AM radio and for comfort, 4/60 air conditioning (four windows open at 60 m.p.h.) Keep up the excellent SC work and keep throwing in the Alaskan “eye candy” pictures. I enjoyed the pictures of the fall colors a week or so back. It almost made me miss living in a more temperate climate, but the pictures today reminded me why I don’t. I don’t like the cold! The climate here in El Paso is just about perfect. The winters aren’t too cold, the summers are not nearly as hot as Phoenix or as humid as Houston or South Florida and, if I really want to, I can “visit” snow in the New Mexico Mountains on weekends. see ya (sorry about the formading marks, but when I go back into edit mode they aren't there.) I cleaned up your post again. You need to remember if you're pasting from word to either use the "Paste from Word" button or the "Paste as Plain Text" button. Thanks, choco.

Welcome to page 4. I have never started a new page before I really enjoy your work. The attention to detail is phenomenal. Keep up the good work

I am looking forward to you weekend update.

Odainsaker: thanks for the photo tour of modern Honolulu. My last rememberance is from Hawaii Five-O back in the 1960s. "book'em Danno" (I gues I'm showing my age)

This is a nice CJ. You seem to have alot of things going on close together, single family residential, apartments, commercial and farming. I kind of like it. the detail is great. I would like to see a wider picture that shows how it all comes together. I really like the green water. What water mod are you using?

This is the first 16 page CJ I have gone all the way through in a long time. You have really captured a tropical feel that I have never seen in any other CJ. Your picture quality is wonderful and your city design and layout is very realistic. Keep up the good work.

This is a beautiful CJ. Your lay out, attention to detail and pictue quality are outstanding. Keep up the good work.
