  1. Ainkien: The Underdiscovered Country

    Aium, Ben and Jacky: Thanks for the Comments! I'm going to continue the tour of Sussex County today, after a long hiatus, with a visit to two unique communities: Valauxarcs and Warwick:

    Outstanding work! Amazing mosaic.
  3. Ainkien: The Underdiscovered Country

    Newcastle is making a bid for a regional headquarters of the International Simlympic Committee:
  4. The Source- Custom Lotting at its Finest

    Great city and great cj! I admire the attention to the lot detail so that the textures really fit into the overall layout of the city.
  5. Ainkien: The Underdiscovered Country

    Thanks, Daniel Cote, Whitstable was inspired by the small rural places in Frogface's Thames. Here's something else you can do with a "flattened" region view: put it in GoogleEarth!
  6. Ainkien: The Underdiscovered Country

    Thanks for the comments, guys. Jon paulo: you take screen shots of your region (I had to take four), and then you put them into a graphics editor (mine is Photoshop Elements, the "light" version of Photoshop). You play with the stretch, skew and distort until you square up the corners, then match them all together like a puzzle to get the entire region's view. It's really not that hard, but you have to be patient with the stretching and skewing process if you have a lot of ocean water involved. My Ainkien map was relatively easy, but I've never gotten the Nalsa Islands map (several pages before this one), quite right.
  7. Ainkien: The Underdiscovered Country

    Thanks, Jacky! Here is some information about Sussex County, starting with a map:
  8. Renault, Missouri

    Great updates - the Walgreens and Taco Bell are very appropriate for Missouri. The highway map is excellent, too!
  9. Nice mall and cool airport mosaic!
  10. SimsBury: Update 6! - Cecina Pt. 2

    Very nice country - I especially like the railway system.
  11. Genevra Redux (v2.0) [SCJU Full Member]

    Beautiful CJ - I like the Parisian feel of your city. The Genevra Magazine is simply outstanding, too!
  12. Petrova

    I'm glad your laptop was okay - Simlympic Park is looking good!
  13. Ainkien: The Underdiscovered Country

    Thanks for the comments, everyone - Ainkienians seem to be happy with one of the projects: [edit - I think I fixed the typos]
  14. San Pedro & Mesias

    Running of the bulls... that's awesome! Again, your cities are absolutely beautiful and well done.
  15. This is a neat CJ. It really does remind me of California, "East of Eden" style.
  16. Petrova

    Again, great job with the torch run. I also wanted to say that the diplomat website is brilliant!
  17. a tornado in thomas

    That's quite the tornado - I hope we get to hear about efforts to rebuild.
  18. Dutch Columbia - Discover something new..

    I'm liking the mix of Dutch and North American architecture. Interesting CJ!
  19. Kingdom of Cantabrica

    Very nice formal parks... I've not seen any done on quite so big a scale. Good job!
  20. Connar

    Nice city journal: I think you have created a good form for your small communities; they have grown quite realistically.
  21. Schulmania

    Beautiful town here... I use many of the same buildings in Ainkien. I was wondering, though, how do you keep the Matt 32B terraces (I'm approximating the name) from taking over? I've had that problem in my cities. I like the Matt 32B terraces I just wish they would "share" with the gascooker buildings a little more.
  22. Ainkien: The Underdiscovered Country

    Hawkeye: Thanks for the comment! Today I'm going to share some news about Ainkien's economic stimulus act, which has been underway for nearly 9 months:
  23. Underground rail help

    A followup question: are there any underground heavy rail stations, and if so how do you use them? Also, how do you connect underground heavy rail to surface heavy rail?
  24. Ainkien: The Underdiscovered Country

    Thanks for your comments, everyone! So - what has been going on in Ainkien in recent years? That is the subject of the third and final part of the "tour" portion of this city journal. Here is a map of Ainkien's boundary up to 2006: And then: This is the current Ainkien National Map:
