1st august 2045, the RU welcomes the new 5 republics: - Lithuania (freely decided to join) - Latvia (annexation) - Estonia (annexation) - Moldova (freely decided to join) - Uzbekistan (freely decided to join) The RU new statistics: Population: 285 millions, 60% of these russians Economy: 3,7 US$ trillions, GDP per capita estimated 24k US$, experienced huge industrial growth in the last decades. Land area: 21+ millions kilometers square Official languages: Russian Money: Russian union ruble Military: First ground-infantry force in the world, first air force in the world, third naval force in the world, currently at war with the USA. Number of republics: 9 (Russian Federation, Ukraine, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Moldova, Uzbekistan) Economic system: Mostly socialist, drifting toward communism. The flag was changed with the addition of 5 stars. Many complained about it, but the government doesn't view reason to change it. 68% of the population likes the flag, 7% doesn't like it, the rest doesn't care/know. Many in the Union parliament at Moscow have pressured the RU president (and prime minister) to change the name to Soviet Union. President commented that it could affect negatively the reputation we have among our allies, the name/constitution may be changed but not right now. Anyway pro-soviet movements are increasing in number in the whole union, seems like Russia can't forget her past. The war is going well, the chineses start retrating, and the americans are outnumbered. Vladivostok may be liberated this month, or the next, but the american/japanese/chinese efforts to resist are really epical. The enemy air superiority was destroyed during epic air battles over the skyes with big losses for both parties. In China the discontent is increasing hugely and riots are taking over the whole country. China is pulling back to fight the democratic movement born in these months. Situation in the USA is not that compromised but our agents are working to make the american population revolt against their neo-fascist government. Pacifist demonstrations in the USA: Kaliningrad remains unpopulated, but the high people in the army say that there's no threat to the city security now. The industrial suburbs of the city are very interesting since they've not been touched by the war. Tanks/fighters could be put on mass production in a short while if the government will allow people to come back. The government will decide if allow our citiziens come back in the city tomorrow under Khabarovsk governor request. Kaliningrad is already playing an important role in this war, but we still can do more than this!

Yah i can use edit, the filename is: zzzMetalArchRailBridge.dat

The idea is good, i believe this will be an american desert, it would be too difficult to find out all middle east buildings... Anyway i don't get the farms... but it is true there are fields also in very dry areas. Keep it up.

Yay downrating is back finally, i started missing these kind of people! Do you know what? I couldn't care less!

Finally some NY recreation ^^ wish to see to whole city if possible.

Everything looks eye-candy, indeed you spent a lot of time on this, but i do not think there is a real point in all those freeways. There are 2 freeways one close the other, i do not understand the need of that... Especially the second pic i do not get it. Anyway loved the last pic, that was nicer.

All perfect, or nearly perfect. The only thing that let me a bit disappointed are the 2 freeways so close.

Those 2 giant buildings in your pics, are not them present in Valencia, Spain? Cool cities indeed.

Thanks people, i used gimp to give the mosaic some nightly look, because night in SC4 is a bit weird. Needed to make something nightly :P

I have been searching for those yah. Nothing found. I had another idea meanwhile... I've just downloaded a custom avenue bridge few time ago. Maybe there's a limit of bridge styles to 12? I'll try to remove that custom bridge. Later: Man i solved it! It was a rail bridge i downloaded. It's not on the STEX anymore. Great

Oh snap, in my download list there's this: SCRT un1 Slope Mod V.1... I seek for it in my plugins folder (it's a dat file) but have no idea where it is... argh <--- Epic fail ?P.S. I have checked in game about that slope mod but it seems like my roads don't use it because i had that classic maxis messed up roads...

Despite the current war, life in Kaliningrad continues also during the night. New York is not the only city that "never sleeps". Here's the local soccer stadium at night. This is the new executive center in Kaliningrad referred to the major public companies. But also some privates (still allowed in few sectors, like goods and other stuff) have arrived in these last years. Anyway the government is making steps to outlaw private property finalized to commercial purposes. Here's the Strela suburb reconstructed after the fight held in the city the year before. Here's a close up of Norsk', showing a pedestrian passage. The freeway has extended and now almost surrounds the whole center of Kaliningrad. A bridge connecting Kaliningrad center and Strela/Kamyshin is planned. Local energy supply is in constant increase. As the population hit 120'000 citiziens, we're halfway from our final goal, reaching 1/4 million population. In the near future a nuclear power plant could be constructed out the city mayor said. Factories are on full production also on night manufacturing also important tanks/jets components. Year after year our population has completely reached the medium wealth class, with the constant growth of the RU. The city is already working on expanding services like hospitals, schools and transports.

I have downloaded nothing from Fukuda. I search this name in my plugins folder and i only found 2 internet files related to NAM axplanations. Tarkus did you check yourself? Do you have that raised avenue bridge in game? Regards and thanks for helping me out.

No i am not using any slope mod.

Yes, i've been using it in my cities, but after installing this new NAM i could not find it...

I couldn't find the Raised Avenue Bridge after i installed the NAM May 2010 version... please help i really need it. Merged and edited to include problem. -CaptCity

I suggest you to make the cities landscape near the one you started right before starting working near the city borders of the city you're playing. And of course build nothing on borders but just connections... This strategy helped me a lot.

I suggest you to resize each photo so people don't have to scroll down at each end of the writing line. Your city looks interesting, also if myself i don't like when urban areas develop directly from the plains to mountains... Cause it lacks of realism in my opinion. Suggestion, remove the grid!

Arg ^^ - Random Crashes - Lack of variety - Roads are only 90-45 degrees - No 45 degrees bridges... - All the stuff you gotta download to make this game better - Lack of realism, modern cities have a "core", a center, while in SC4 too often your city seems to have no center if you build it without taking care of this aspect.
