What are your feelings of the New "Sim City?"
escilnavia posted a topic in SimCity (2013) General Discussion
I put "Sim City 2013" in quotation marks because I don't think it's even worthy to be called a "Sim City." I'm rather upset with this new Sim City. I'm not even angry at EA, I just feel sorrow. I had hope that this game would get me "hooked back" with the game that I grew up with as a child, but I was appalled at the fact that I had just payed for a glitchy, broken down, game that would crash, and not let me play. In the little time I could play, I found the game rather dull, overly-complicated, and I didn't get that same sensation of satisfaction as I did when I played Sim City 4. To me, it's just another Sim City Societies all over again. I guess I was a fool to trust EA to make a decent game. What I'm surprised at is, is the fact that "Sim City 2013" is completely garbage. I feel like EA turned a lot of hope, and anxiousness into disbelief and regret. How will EA get out of this one? -

A Quick View of Bayasa City
escilnavia posted a City Journal entry in The Socialist Republic of Loftindor (USNW)
Sorry guys I'm really to busy in RL to reply so let's get straight in to the entry. I feel truly bad I don't have time to reply, I will reply to everyone in the comment section including the ones from the last entry. So, on to it. _______________________________________________________________________________________________ A residential area in Bayasa City experiencing a large rain shower: As the rain clears up, we view a little agricultural part of Bayasa city, these types of "Island farms" are dotted all over the Bayasan coast: And finally a view of the downtown area of Bayasa City overlooking some slums: _______________________________________________________________________________________________ If you enjoyed this update please rate, comment and/or +1, Thanks, Escilnavia- 18 Comments

Minecraft Building and Terrain Concepts! + Replies
escilnavia posted a City Journal entry in Escilnavia's Workshop
Hey guys, I've finally settled into Miami, and have a special update today. Basically, I'm taking a break on SC4 because I wanted to show you guys my building and terrain experience with Minecraft. Because Minecraft is a building game, I assume most SC4 players have played this game which is why I decided to post it, enjoy! Please give me feedback on whether you liked it or not, thanks Escilnavia ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Note: replies will be in the comment section of the previous entry from now on. Another Note: This map is not mine, all the buildings shown are my creations ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Now before we begin, I found this server though the help of google. This server is practically anti-grief and all the people are very nice and helpful. I first started building my house and noticed (not to brag) how well the wood looked in contrast to the forest wood. I did more testing with this and realized how better it looked if you used the same wood as the forest around you provided (for example oak and oak). But I also realized that it would not look good as a solid color, so I mixed the gray of the cobblestone and the brown of the wood to create the following effect, the wood stair case roof also made it look more realistic and have more character as well: Now, I also did this with the dam I built near a river. This shows that this combination also works for any basic structures: Land terraforming and world editing: Now that we looked at how to add a little more character in basic structures, we'll be looking at how to (if you like to) terraform the land to make it look more appealing, also please note I did not edit this land, I am simply taking observations from how it appears. This river, I noticed, looked a lot better than the randomly generated one. I realized that the one color of gravel made it feel like a real coast line, rather than there being a mix of sand dirt and gravel randomly scattered near a river. I also liked the effect of having rocks come out into the river, once again adding the effect of realism: Moving on, this server the biomes happen to be all separated by a large body of water, which in turn also seems more realistic then there being a desert next to a snow biome. So please keep in mind if you are a map creator to make sure the biome separation seems believable. Thanks for reading, please +1, rate, comment and/or follow if you enjoyed. Escilnavia And now I leave you with a picture of a nice sunset. -
Haha, LOL, I especially enjoyed this update!

Ok, I don't have much time, but if you didn't know, I moved to Miami, the move has required a lot of time and stress, which is why I haven't been on ST recently. I promise I'll be back in July, I'm doing replies in the next update because I don't consider this a "real update." If you have any question feel free to ask. What I've been working on recently: Thank you I hoped you enjoyed this rather really short entry, but I know I've promised this 100 times before, I'll be back to posting Cj entries and commenting on them. Thanks for your understanding, Escilnavia

The City of Krankow + Replies
escilnavia posted a City Journal entry in The Socialist Republic of Loftindor (USNW)
Hey guys, I'm back with an update of Loftindor, and I just came back from Miami on vacation which is why I haven't been active recently . Anywho, today we'll be looking at the City of Krankow, the second largest city on the Loftindor mainland, and 3rd including the dependencies. This city was the former capital, and by the citizens is considered a "secondary capital" due to it's amount of activity in the government. Before we begin, I'd like to try to promise to comment on as many CJ's as I can. thanks, Escilnavia Replies: emperordaniel: , thanks for commenting buddy. Shingure: LOL, it did, thanks for commenting. NMUSpidey: indeed it does, thanks for commenting pal. Efkin: Snow Day for the children! emperordaniel (again): could be! jephonesewarrior: thanks for commenting Flyhigh: Hope you like this update matheuspaulo: Thanks bro! Wraner: Lucky, we didn't have snow in cincy Schulmanator: haha, I sure was Simbourgeois: Thanks buddy, Happy new year to you as well! Roberto Robato: yum Note: I will be deleting the update before this because of my equatorial location on adonia, it doesn't really make sense, and I wasn't really "proud" of it. It will be deleted when the next entry is up, if you'd like to view it, please do so now, and please don't rate the entry. Thanks, Escilnavia ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Socialist Apartments blocks overlooking Stelling's Dike, the entryway into the city.: Downtown Krankow: Central Krankow: ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ If you enjoyed, please rate, comment, +1, and or like.
