Congratulations!! Is this top 10 for SC4 journals only?

Thank you franky, that is appreciated. Just keep checking in here

Thanks for all the kind comments guys! @Reikhardt: This actually is the fist CXL. As you see, I am putting it to it's limits

Today is the 20th of December 2010. Sunny but cold weather, with a sof breeze. It is 6AM, and rush-hour is already starting. Soon the roads will be congested with cars, trucks and busses. But that is not the only thing happening.. David got the job he wanted at the Optium Shopping Centre! Now I got the job, I can easily pay the bills, and maybe I can stay in a hotel. "The Corner" is said to be a good one, not very expensive but still quality. I'll give it a try and stay there! We are almost there. It would be nice if I finally have a bed to sleep in instead of a dirty couch! There it is, I need to get to the reception and get home to fetch my stuff. David arrived home at 6 PM, exhausted as he was. His life is starting to take off. He has got a job, and soon he will have a new 'home' of higher quality. Soon he may be able to buy his own house in Hinterland, but as it is so far away from the centre he can not jet, or he must find another job. One step at a time.. See you at the next update, DM.

Good job, the map has a nice topography for the city. You should just ignore those 'traffic is totally blocked' messages, the game likes to 'overreact' a little, so to say

Do not use the Expressway road, use the expressway bridge at ground level, and also simple road bridges. It'll remove the traffic lights

Hmm.. I do not know, I have never seen this before.

As requested, here are some overviews of what Trivordam actually looks like. The city has been finished for about 20%. Traffic: You see not many of the map has been finished yet. I'm building on it throughout the week and make the updates in the weekends, to provide you information as I proceed. See you at the next update, where the story will continue! A goodbye from a cold Trivordam..

It's great that they left a comment, the first one in months, actually. This sounds quite sad, but as CXL is a very good game in my opinion (when used correctly) I will be patient for just some more(..) time.

 Thanks everybody for the kind comments, constructive criticism is more than welcome, too! @ Aelencia Yeah, right   See ya around.

New in update 4: Overviews of the city. For the full update visit the journal here.

Another day begins... ...and while the city slowly wakens, I dream about my future. Gosh, I really want to get a job in the Stock Building, so badly, but every journey begins with a single step. I have to start small. Yesterday, in the morning paper, I saw that they needed a caretaker at the Optium Shopping Centre. Maybe I first have to take a look at that. Who knows? I need the money.. I need to be fast, otherwise I'll be to late, and someone else took the job! Rush-hour. The worst time of the day, you really do not want to drive at this time. Well.. There it is. Behind the trees! Now I need to find the right people. Wish me luck.

I love that elementary school with the parking lots next to it, very natural!

Great job dude, I love this!

I don't care about how they construct, I care about the final product

Slowly but steadily, the metropolis Trivordam awakes. The first cars appear at the roads, followed rapidly by the first rush-hour traffic jams. Today will be a fine day, according to the weather forecast at Channel T. But it is not the weather that worries me, it is my future. I need to find a job before I completely run out of money. Again. The same story, it happened in Detroit, it will probably happen again in Trivordam, but who knows? Maybe destiny will turn to it's good side once. It would be a light in the dark. Atleast I was able to get a home for only 120$ a month, at first I was the happiest person in the world, but when I got to see the appartment I understood why it was so cheap. That's what I am aiming for, a job at the Stock Building. It would be terrific if I got to work in the highest building of Trivordam. I've got the certificat they wish, but with my history it would be wasted time anyway.. I think. Let's start small and get a more easy job ------ Thanks for reading! If you have any questions about city planning, custom content use, photoshopping etc. Just contact me by a comment, no PM nessecary.

 Thanks for the kind comments everyone, I really appreciate your interest!

A new update has arrived.. Click here for the full update with the story! Damastius

Good evening fellow readers, welcome to the City Journal of Gronbury. Gronbury is the capital of Hontagon, and has a population of ~520.000. It is an European styled city which you might notice soon. I have not finished this city yet, more updates on new areas will ofcourse follow later. The official flag of Hontagon. This design was published in 1783, the year after the Civil War which torn Hontagon apart. The weather in this part of Hontagon is unpredictable. Within minutes, the fast wind, blowing from the east, blows mighty storms over the narrow streets leaving the inhabitants behind in confusion. Because of it's catholic background many churches dominate the skyline of Gronbury. This one, the Hendrick Church, was built in 1700 and had been renovated recently. Gronbury's boom in offices began quite late, compared to the other major cities of Hontagon. This, because of the farming history which was the major profit source till the 19th century. After rain comes sunshine! A marvellous picture taken next to the Gonner's Ring (left). This structure, about 2500 years old, was built by an unknown civilisation living here before ours. I hope you have a good map of the city, don't get lost! Gronbury today, in the evening. Enjoy reading, I have organised my city files and this one will for sure last long. Damastius
