Nice work with the spaceport mike. Looking forward to seeing the whole thing.

Jerebannus XVI: Brilliant work right there. Everything blends well and nothing is seemingly out of place. 9.9/10 art128: Cant put my finger on it but somehow i find the plazas don't mix. Good nonetheless 8/10 ilikehotdogsalot: Very nice pic of the Shanghai Financial center in all its glory danielcote: Maxis. Too heavy on the photoshopping and i see your control panel is still open. More emphasis on the too heavy photoshopping 5/10 pingangster: One side of the tracks drops too sharply. Overall blends nicely 7/10 blue sinjid: Gorgeous waterfront. It fits well with the entire scene and the balance between the land and the spanning ocean is breathtaking. 9/10 un1: Dull and mundane with a little hint of Downtown . Nice 8/10 danielcote: Personally i don't like the use of the beach textures and i see a UDI icon hovering in the corner. Other than that it looks okay. 7/10 The Arrowz: Blends pretty well but the 2 buildings on the bottom left is repeated and i find that it doesn't contribute well to the scene. 8/10 My contribution:

Tomasneto: Thank you very much andisart: Thank you that means a lot. And the simmars pics was by no small part due to you. Looking forward to Simmars 3 btw. anarchy0029: Thank you Ray. Happy New year to you and the Kingdom of Hypertrophy Small pic i am leaving for now in future updates.

Small side update in association with the COFR anniversary. __________________________________________________ In the Diesmaran Empire. Long has the sun set on the horizon as the people all over the Diesmaran Empire gathered on the streets. Police have been set on patrol as both they and the Peace Keepers ensure the safety of the people overhead. Major roads have been shut down and businesses have ended their working hours today. The time neared midnight and on TV sets and holographic projections on the streets went into a special broadcasting announcement and the image of the High Lord is shown on screen accompanied by his fiance Minister Koh Shau Yuen. _________________________________________________________________ High Lord Vasidian: "To the people of the Diesmaran Empire. Citizens of this great nation, Children of Legacy. It is my honor as High Lord to come before you today on this truly grand occasion. Over a year ago when the COFR was formed in an alliance with the Hiigaran Confederacy. We being a nation ever growing and ever reaching further, needed to expand our horizons and in order to do so we had to find our opportunity and seize it. And as such we have been given that opportunity by the COFR. By the allies we have gained. By the nations we have forged new alliances. By the people, the culture and the history that they have shared with us. We have learned much from them and have grown from their teachings. So now we celebrate the coming new year and the first year of the COFR anniversary. Minister Koh Shau Yuen: "In this time eventhough we are in a midst of political conflict and tension let us remember the reason for this celebration. So before you we stand here on this occasion where we celebrate the anniversary of the COFR, the union which has granted us allies, friends and a new way of understanding as we continue to grow and reach out farther into the heavens. So let us celebrate again and forevermore the pride of being part of such a great union and how much it has given us." High Lord and Minister Koh Shau Yuen "Happy anniversary to the COFR and Happy New Year to the Diesmaran Empire and the rest of all humanity". ___________________________________________________________________ The Screen fades. And soon the images are replaced as Josh Groban stands in the middle of the stage in live broadcast, to sing the Aestorian Hym of the Diesmaran Empire. All'Imprivviso Amore And the countdown begins. 5......4......3.....2......1 In Jenova Capital Over the Museum Park in Geranhigen Geranhigen Imperial Tower Frontcoast district In Jenova Over the Bardanieva Sports Complex And finally over Excalibur Spaceport. Soon the streets are filled with wild party goers and the nightclubs filled up to the highest. Music can be heard from the discos all around and cheers of the people fill the night to morning light. Happy Anniversary COFR.

Twenty20- Lol thanks Twenty20. What do you think of the Christmas ones. Oh happy holidays .

Christmas is now here, let us begin the christmas cheer. From snow of white, to the dawn of Christmas light. Huzzah!!! Hurrah!! Come on lets cheer!! For all the world to come and hear. Merry Christmas, Good will to all, and see you on the dawn of a great new year. Merry christmas everyone and happy holidays.

pingangster: Thank you for the rating. The images you see displayed on the buildings have to do with the current simlympics and this pic was originally created to commemorate the opening ceremony which took place in Ylmeria, Shalman Empire. That image on the top left is from that opening ceremony which i lent. The projection on the Pan Pacific building was done through photoshop much like everything else in the picture.

nihonkaranws: Very nice. The open spaces adds a lot to the city's environment 9/10 hijodecordoba - A little plain but overall nice 7/10 blue sinjid- Tad bit too dark could use some brigtherning up. 7/10 Here is my contribution

Mokrie_Dela :The following link should lead you to a sharing site posted by Zelgadis in the Sim City 4 General discussions thread under the 'Get your maxis file here' http://homepage.mac.com/zelgadis/FileSharing1.html There are the downloads to the maxis landmarks you are talking about and your grand central station is there too.

Hey guys Looking for the following Thanks a bunch for the help.

newyorkrunaway1- Thank you very much. Present Time: ..... Okay the storms cleared. Lets move on through and hopefully we can get to the Space Port facility soon. This is Solaris Outpost Military base. One of the outpost bases in the outter rims of the colony. The Base is pretty simple and serves as a shelter for many exploration survey crews. The Military base itself. Pretty standard equipment. THe reason for their presence being is that this area is a known area where Raiders reside. They attack the exploration crews and loot the equipment and thus this base functions as the nearest emergency response. These here are the experimental Mechas of the Special Tactics response group. Small mechas that are being experimented in field use for the future of the Diesmaran Amed forces. .... *Alert Response Code 12 All personnel proceed to your designated stations for response .... Ah great that means we need to move hurry. We'll be leaving with the cexploration crew now. Code 12 Response, raiders sighted and the Armed personnel intercept. We'll leave them to handle it. Our journey takes us farther into the wasteland. Here we will see one of the most amazing discovery ever made. And here we are at the spot of this tree. A tree found growing on the wasted soils of this dead red planet, no presence of water, the land hardly fertile to grow anything, and yet grows a single tree. But what is more amazing than the tree? Not just more trees, A whole forest in the area. A forest spanning this particular area only and the only area where a forest gorws. Beginning from the first tree there is an actual presence of atmosphere in the area itself but what has baffled researchers is that treescould even grow here. The only thing as amazing as the is the structures found within the forests itself. It is hypothesized that the growth of the forests are attributed to these structures itself as to how it is unknown as attempts are still being made to enter the structure. It is also unknown as to why the forest and structures also never show up on satellite imaging scans as well. Bases have been set up along here and this is where we will stay for now before heading back to the Space Port to Ezra. Till then.

SirUnger- Thank you very much. jacqulina- Thanks jacqulina. That means a lot. Keep-Up-lol thanks im glad i left an impression Author's note: I misplaced my marbles. Has anyone seen them? Short History: In later years after the colony's establishment major efforts have been placed to both exploration and mapping of Bevellion's surface. The greatest inhibitor to the exploration however has been the constant sandstorms which plague the colony ever so often. The winds themselves are strong enough to toss a Cosmocarrier ship onto its back but the sand that it blows up can peel the skin off one's body. Despite of which efforts are still being made to explore this moon despite this difficulty. ____________________________________________________________________ Present time: We begin as the morning breaks and get ready to head out again. This time we will be joining along Exploration group 'Indiana 4' for this trip so let us go. We will be following in the Genbu Yusou Terrain Craft with the exploration group as they make their way through the red barren wasteland. Our destination would be the Solaris Military outpost and from there we can make our way to the final destination. But now lets head off. We'll be heading there with a crew of Zone Marines and also 2 Cargo Helicarriers. Forecast says there's a heavy sandstorm coming in but we'll be fine in these vehicles, they're made to withstand the local weather. This area crossing here is known as The Impact Zone. Studies show major signs of massive meteorites which impacted the area numerous times. This area is considered volcanic as there are pockets which seap into the planets magma core underneath. As we travel along further south we take a view at the Mesa Mountains by far the most notable landscape in all of Bevellion as these tall towering mountains spring up from the ground and rival even the tallest towers on Bevellion. 4 hours into the journey heading East this time we are near the 'Stepping Stones' Very beautifull and odd formations near the mountain path along the way. There are reporterd to be high concentrations of metals along this area but thus far no mining effort made. At 12 Hours and finally if you look over the Horizon you'll see the Jagged King Mountain or how the fellows on Bevellion call it The Devil's Titan. A mountain which structure is made up of hard sharp rocks which can cut off your fingers just by touching it. Its impossible to scale it is as deadly as it looks. We are almost-.... ah nuts the sandstorm is getting worse, Category 12, we need to dive into Shelter. I think we're already here at Solaris base. As soon as we get into the compound, everyone head straight to the bunkers and stay there. We'll be here for a while before this storm Clears up. Till then.

If I were god I make pie grow on trees.

anarchy0029-And the Diesmaran Empire is glad that the Hypertrophians contributed so much to this project. Thank you SirUnger-Thank you very much Im glad you liked it TV-VCR- You flatter me. Thank you very much. I just put in my taste with such an amazing mod. Author's Note: Pie is awesome. ____________________________________________________ Present time: Continuing around the Bevellion Colony. Get up, brush your teeth, grab a bite, Suit up in your Environment life support suit, Go to work, Break during the Midday sandstorm provided you're still not outside, otherwise you'd be...well dead, then come home before nightfall. All routine work. Sometimes you get the occasional viit from raiders and Pirates if you work as one of the Exploration Crew but mostly its routine. Our fist visit takes us to the Industrial area of the Colony We have here the Bevellion Industrial area which spans far and wide across the dunes. Most of the facotires develop and produce things such as Spaceship parts, processed food and serve as Ore refineries for the Mines nearby. The most notable structure is the Oonte Rotoccans Tech facility which houses the main Infrastructure network for all data and information. Exports are taken to the Space Port Now heading on southward from the main colony we arrive at an outpost colony south. The area is owned by many "well to do" Colonists and is where most high wealths reside. The area also has the second Tera Dome which houses the Hiigaran housing projects and several structures namely the religious centers. This area also has the only rail connection to the Space Port but we won't head there yet. One of the many sights on Bevellion can be seen on the edge of this colony, This is called the Median Pathway if followed will take you straight to the Mesa Mountains. But we'll go there later on. Now we head northwards to another area of more importance. Ice Drilling facilities drilling out the ice in the surrounding area and processing them for use in the colony. Water is still imported from Ezra tough. Further north however is the Diesmaran Military base. Passing the checkpoint The Military serves as the police force as well on the colony as a standard police forces is still not operational as the colony is still considered far too small. The biggest threat to the colony thus far has been Pirates and raiders. Though small in numbers the raiders are relatively well equipped and can do much havoc. They basically raid several small outposts and scientists on exploration. The government has yet made any real action against them as their wherabouts are still unknown but thus far they have never breached into the colony. The Military uses havoc gunships to patrol the city but are grounded in the event of a sandstorm. And this is the final stop, the underground research facility where many scientists house their vehicles. We will be joining the exploration crew on their journeys to view the wonders of Bevellion. Right now though its time to turn in. See you again soon.

Ah the Hiigarans who found refuge in Hypertrophy. Good to know that they built their lives up again. Keep up the magnificent work. Your nation is truly an inspiration.

Petrovar Ambassador- Thank you very much and I definately will Update Time!! Author's note: Simmars is a wonderfull mod and im keeping up with the latest progress. Hope to see SimMars 3. On with the update. ___________________________________________________________________ Short History:High Lord Amaista Dasmian always was a visionary of progress and achievement on a grand scale. She was the first High Lord to promote the Diesmaran Empire's Space Program and was the architect of the Diesmaran Bevellion Colonization Program. In her words: "Children of Ezra, Inheritors of the Diesmar Legacy. We have come a long way from our beginnings. Once leaving Earth away from the scarcity of resources, in search of a new home to found a new way of life. It is a great blessing that we arrived at our haven of the Planet Ezra, in which this planet has granted us a new resolve to life and with the visions of our forefathers we crafted from the desolate landscapes of this new world our grandest achievement yet, the Diesmaran Empire. Now we must look to the future even further now as our ancestors have done before. We look to this planets moon, the Great Bevellion in our quest for progress and achievements. For I believe that in time when it is again when we must search for new homes in the stars, let us not aimlessly search for planets to harbor life, but instead we bring life to a planet which can harbor us." And thus began the idea for the Bevellion Colonization project. The aim of the project is simple in its idea but difficult in its attempt to achieve it. To Colonize and Terraform a dead planet into a life sustaining environment. __________________________________________________________________ Present Day: Bevellion, the orbiting moon of Ezra, A planets shrouded in mystery and wonder, its dangers and its beauty. The Landscape itself is odd and uninviting as mountains rise above foreboding in their presence as canyons sink down some into a never ending pit into the unknown. While its been many years since the Beginning of the first Colonization and much progress has been achieved, the Red moon still holds many mysteries yet unlocked. The Colonization project while mainly recognized as a Diesmaran innitiative is an international involved project taking in workforces who can contribute to its progress. They come from nations such as Sectoria, Hiigara, Hypertrophy, Oonte Rotocco, America, China, Russia and countless more. Some of these mysteries will be revealed later but first we must head over to the Main Colony. We take a ride from the Diesmaran Empire's Excalibur Space Port to Bevellion. On a side note We wish to celebrate the newest addition to the Space Port, Voyager Class Starships which expects to go into service some time next year Now to the Main Colony first is Jenova Bevellion. The name is attributed as the first Settlement point of the Colony itself as how Jenova on Ezra was the Diesmaran Empire's first and most successfull city. We begin by seeing the small Industrial area within the city which is the first industrial site on the Colony since it was first established producing products such as condensed food and Mechanical parts. This structure houses the Terraforming project in contribution mainly to the Hiigarans and their Terraforming technology which they have contributed. In the colony itself is the research institute experimenting how animals cope and adapt to living on Bevellion. Experiments are done often in the name of science and progress. This Tower is in representation to the construction prowess of the Oonte Rotoccians who have also been assigned to this innitiative. Their ability to construct great architectures in short amount of time proved a vital asset in the colonies expansion. It functions as a housing facility for many residents and workers on the colony. A replica of the Arista Tower on Ezra. It is a representaiton of the Diesmar ideal and a reminder as to the purpose of this innitiative. It serves as the Government building and management center. The Hypertrophians made a great contribution by setting up the Colonies own economy and this center constructed by them functions as the center of economical trade and commerce as well as the official Bevellion Stock Exchange. While traffic is not a real issue the main transport option is done so through the High Speed Rail which commutes all colony workers and officials to where they need to be. THe bus is the best alternative but it doesnt compare to the speed of the High Speed rail. And finally some night shots. Next update we will move on to the other areas of importance on the Colony before heading out into unexplored territory to view some of the mysteries and wonder that Bevellion has to show. Untill then all.
