Futurist, I love how the changes in density are visible from region view and how the more denser areas stick to the arterial roads. Also, I see that you're from Houston, are the winding river and the bay somewhat based on it? I'm just asking because I also once had a project where I based my region on greater Houston. Anyways, I like it, keep going!

Elavery, awesome work. Is it one large tile or even more? Seems immense! 9988, I like the choice of buildings a lot, but the picture has been sharpened too much in my honest opinion.. Here's an older mosaic from me from a region I have stopped playing about 6 months ago: I think it conveys some suburban 'flair', but it lacks details and there's too little traffic on the freeway unfortunately..

So this is one of my first humble attempts with the RHW. I was always afraid by its complexity, but it was imperative for the project I'm working on. Does anyone recognize the interchange? It's not entirely accurate, but it's fairly close.

That Salt Lake City recreation is looking absolutely gorgeous, I love the sprawl and the way it accomodates the landscape..great job 12231989 I made some progress on my sunbelt region which has now (using residential halver) some 470.000 inhabitants, and with the adding of two more minor business centers San Jacinto and Richmond Beach capacities for more than a million. I find it really difficult to get an appealing regional view as well as an individual style to each tile. Whatever, I'd like to know what you guys think.

@The Duke: It's a Bat by Ill Tonkso, you can get it here: https://www.simtropolis.com/stex/details.cfm?id=17987 Here is another Downtown of mine. Fairfax' South Downtown. I built this city in a rather texan style. The CBD boasts about 160k jobs. Full size: http://img193.imageshack.us/img193/9184/sdowntown.jpg

This is Downtown San Jacinto. I went for a medium density appearance, basing it loosely off Downtown San Jose which has height restrictions for the buildings due to the CBD's vincinity to the airport. I hope you like it.

Not just the boni upset me, it's the way the financial markets work. Intended as a place to trade stocks of productive companies and let people participate in decision making, stock markets have evolved into something out of control. The courses are no longer influenced by production of any means - it all comes down to psychology. Furthermore, the existence of more money in the financial markets than products in the world is scary. Another big problem is the profit oriented economy. Companies traded in the biggest stock markets strive for higher profits since this, according to them and their shareholders, is a sign for a healthy company. Might be. The problem is that in pursuit of profits, many actual problems are procrastinated and investments and modernizations fall as short as workers' rights in the third world. I'm not for socialism as defined by Lenin, but I believe that capitalism is uncapable of an equal spreading of wealth, or at least a spreading of wealth which is congruent with the productive power of a person. economy needs to work for the people, and not in reverse..

Berlin for sure Firstly, it's cheap (way cheaper than Rome, Paris, or London) so it's not as gentrified which leads to a greater diversity and more "underground culture"..the clublife is supposedly the best in the world (and I am quite sure it is ^^), we have excellent public transport (subway, commuter rail, an extensive bus network and probably the most elaborate tram network in the world), and cultural institutions are among the best in the world (Museum-Island)..I just love Berlin, although I liked Rome a lot, too..

Here's my contribution, Fairfax Intercontinental, loosely based on George Bush Intercontinental in Houston. The Runway/Taxiway layout is quite accurate, I changed the terminals however to fit the scale of SC4. I hope you like it. Overview: And some general shots: I'm open to critique so if you think anything is not so realistic, please let me know ^^

Here are two shots of the city I'm currently working on. I aim for a style similar to cities in the south of the US, especially Houston. So it's just a lot of low density sprawl...At some Point I want it to have 500.000 inhabitants, but transit times are already killing me... This is about 3 months of work as I try to get it as realistic as possible.. region view so far: Transport view:

As I'm interested in photography, I have quite a few cityscapes shot that can also be seen on my deviantArt account (raider92.deviantart.com)...Here are some of the best that I've taken. San Francisco Minneapolis And lastly one of my hometown Berlin.
