Well, you have some amazing city building skills! I like the way you present it too.

I'm really liking the port areas but my only criticism is that you're mixing the Sci-Fi BAT's with you're ordinary realistic buildings and town planning. I think it could look alto better if you removed them but it's you're choice. I like the effects on the last mosaic alot, maybe you could turn off that grid though (Press G key in game) Overall great work, I love how some of you're cities are looking!

Wow, great pictures and a nice little story! Can I ask were you got that park in the bottom right hand corner of the first image? Hope to see more of this CJ!

Wow, those are some amazing photo's! I'd like to go to Paris someday

Maybe you need to get some of the road top mass transit lots off the STEX. They've solved my commute crisis on many occasions.

Yea sure, if you think you're Maxis styled CJ is good enough then by all means upload it, just change the title of this thread and put in some pictures!

Wow, what a huge improvement! Not nearly as many abandoned buildings. Looking quite good now, let's see you keep going, you seem to have a great transport building skills with you're roads and avenues.

Sorry but I'm gonna need to give you some tips for making and presenting you're CJ. 1. Use better quality images and resize them properly in a photo editing program. 2. Use more custom content off the STEX. 3. Demolish those Maxis buildings that repeat right next to each other, really you should only aim to have at the most 2 or 3 of the same building in a city (Looks very un-realistic). 4. Demolish abandoned (blackened) buildings. That's really important, the way to solve this is just make sure everything is in good balance eg. Health, education, safety and close to a park...or if you want to cheat there's a modd on the STEX that get's rid of the black colour. Apart from all that nice start and I like the canal system and you're use of the NAM a lot.

Edit you're first post of this CJ. There's a Topic Title box, change that.

I have to aggree with the peak oil theory, I mean the earth just can't produce oil at the rate we're consuming it, it's just silly.

Originally posted by: Godzillaman Dubai is souless. Its buildings are built just to make the record higher, and its just a City built on oil. Sorry if i get on anyones bad side.quote> I kinda have to agree here. Most of the buildings that are coming out of Dubai look like they're straight out of a 1970's Sci-Fi movie! I really dislike this style of architecture and most of them are just made to 'make records'

Well, that's just a standard problem with SC4. It can piss off the best of us when you're city sucks and the computer is running slow, but I always get through it in a few days.

Great looking pictures and a good storyline too! I think you could be onto a winner with this CJ! Keep it up.

Woah, looks at those cliffs! I've never seen anything so steep. Anyway looks like a beautiful city, hope to go there one day. By the way the city that I'm living in now has bigger street trees than that! There just little ones!

What do you make of this one? Sorry for the lower quality image, I'd post the .png version but you then most of you can't see it Shingure: Yea, as hotdogs said, I think you went overboard with this one. Sorry but 2/10 Elaclairee: Wow, that's very cool! 8.5/10 Mich280582: Hey! That's not too bad but I'd try to make the water a little darker. Still very good 7.5/10 Shingure: That's a little better, like the row shops 7.5/10 Lifetec: Good try but that's really easy to do and you didn't turn off the grid 5/10 Geekman: A few to many Maxis buildings but not that bad overall. I'd like to see you put in some sea walls or line the coast with trees or do something to the coastline. 7/10 Shingure: Now we're cooking! I love those row homes, 8/10 Deever: I think Patriots pretty much covered it! Fantastic job although I actually like the brightness were it is (Probably because I have a bright screen) 9.9/10

You've got a nice little town going there but I think you really need to change the name of this CJ

Wow that's one crazy looking highway! Love that waterfront too!

Hey everybody! I just noticed that I've never really shown you guys what Hong Kong looks like from street level so here it is! I've added a special filter in Photoshop to add a kind of soft glow that is like the illumination that you get from the lights and the fog/smog in Hong Kong (Also gets rid of the low quality that you get on zoom 6). Most of these are from the back streets of Tsim Sha Tsui and the HSBC Tower roof if from Central of course. Enjoy!

Oh my god! What an ugly tower, just like something out of a tacky sci-fi movie. I hope they never build something 'a mile high'

Now that's a good quality update! Great use of the GLR pieces, all of the pic's just looks fantastic. Great work, I really hope you keep this up!

Wow, that looks like a great city you're starting! Great transportation network with the roads amd highways, I hope you add rail.
