Update 0 is actually not quite necessary. It is just background history. If having little time to spare, start from 1. AE788, Zanonean Kingdom was desperate. Feudal system that lasted hundreds of years was finally coming to the stalemate, with a hopeless gap between rural riches and urban poors. In feudal society, money does not make one rich, but land. Political tensions, riots and rumors of mass uprisings, the king never had a time of rest. AE801, his concern over country-wide mutiny led him to a decision, mass deportation of have-nots of all small towns and cities into the capital, Zanapolis. He thought, by having nation's all poors concentrated at once place, they can be controlled more easily. AE813, the king's absurd policies of keeping feudal system in place reached the limit. Development of money-economy and commerce was uncounterable even by the king. Now, the urban poors of Zanapolis was discontent for the future being suppressed and robbed. For most of the urban dwellers who didn't own a land, commerce, was the only opportunity. One day, when the king went on a journey out of Zanapolis for the regular meetings with rural landlords, it was finally paid off - Revolution! An independence from Zanonean Kingdomlace was declared. The bluish white star banner of revolutionists was displayed onto the mast of Royal Congress Hall in Huixingcheng. The king was in misery losing the capital city.... but, soon, he realized that perhaps, it was rather a good thing for him and his country, as he was still gaining overwhelming support from rural areas, and the source of headache, the urban poors of Zanapolis are now gone, With local support, he built a humble palace, and declared Zenonian Kingdom is still alive. --600 years of uneasy, but stable peace persisted between Zanonian Kingdom and a city-state of Zanapolis. Since its independence, people started calling it The Starlight City, symbolizing their aspiration toward greater future. By AE1400, both societies were ubiquitous with nano and space technology.............................. AE1436, things started crumbling in Zanonean Kingdom. While wealthy landlords supported the kingdom, not-quite-rich landowners weren't. AE1437, they copied what citizens of Zanapolis has done 600 years ago - Declaration of Zanonean Republic. However, they were not as successful as their predecessors. The result was.... Zanonean Kingdom still being a kingdom, but with raging political mutiny within. Reconciliation was hopeless. Stuck in power struggle, the republicans were looking for a solution in reunification with Zanapolis. Meanwhile, situations were also uneasy in Zanapolis. The population was already over 20 million, with big rich and poor gap. Having seen the situation in their neighbour, reunite with Zanonean Republic, or remain independent, people had to make a choice. Yet, unfillable gap between rich and poor was tearing the community. Riches went for reunification with Zanonean Republic since it gives them more stability by gaining solid industries in the Republic. Poors - actually not poor anymore, but middle class people, supported independence to keep opportunities open to themselves. AE1443, riches of Zanapolis and small landowners of the Kingdom were supporting reunification under Zanonean Republic, and middle class people of Zanapolis and riches of the kingdom were supporting two independent nations. With all talks or any attempts for reconciliation failing, the situation was a complete deadlock. Skirmishes were daily events in the Kingdom. Rumors of mass uprisings in Zanapolis never faded. Eventually, worst became the reality, a situation where the first to go for offensive gains the advantage over the other. Invasion by Zanonean Republicans was a matter of time........

East Asia Fundamentalist BAT Faction WE WILL NOT BOW TO DEFAULT MAXIS STYLE OF SIMCITY ! Very many people including myself, have been quite discontent over the predominantly western style that simcity adopts. It is quite sad that there is nearly zero Asia-based CJ's around. (Sultanate of Joro is the only Asia-based CJ that I know.) The reason is very clear - because there is an obvious shortage of Asian buildings and props, especially PROPS. How many of you have missed the bright neon billboards, chaotic and narrow streets, street signs, noodle stands, lanterns, hanging banners, dragon statue, pagoda, rows of bicycles, laundry hanging over narrow streets etcetcetc....... Those things are nearly completely absent. My earlier creation, ZHONGHUA ZUTAO is just a beginning. I am not making a Chinatown, but an Asian City. Anybody can join this movement on this thread, provided that you swear two things: 1. BAT something that will make somebody shout "ASIA!" or "CHINA!", "KOREA!" "JAPAN!", whatever country east of longitude E90 2. PURSUE Asian-ness and never think about whether it is usable in game or not. One thing that might be useful to keep in mind is that there are quite a lot of people already doing shiny skyscrapers and residential blocks. To be unique, it is advisble to try something else. OK, that was a quick introduction. My first project as a formal member of HK/Asia BAT team will soon follow.

Thanks for the review!

This review thing is really working out for me! I am making lots of new encounters with CJ's that I haven't seen before.

That review on Ankara is just awesome!!! Very informative, very sharp, very concise, but unfortunately, doesn't stand out in front of skmming eyes.... put up a picture or a banner?

I feel like, FINALLY "CJ CRITICS" is lifiting off!!!!!! I was hoping for one, and so did several others, but previous attempts didn't quite lift off... Yes, priliminary discussions before starting thing up - it really did pay off.

The launch of a new community, "Star League" is near. Star League(S.L.) is a group of science-fiction themed city journals, and is fully backed up by Motherland of Simtropolis (MoS), and partially by New Horizons Productions). I am one of the core members of the coming S.L. and am thinking of promoting SimMars in this occasion. A CJ that features SimMars will certainly be eligible to become a member and will get a full support of S.L. and MoS. I think the best way to promote SimMars is to have one successful SimMars-based CJ. S.L. and MoS is ready to help out on this. Sooner or later, there WILL be somebody who use SimMars to make a S.L. member scifi CJ... Site (forum): Motherland of Simtropolis http://motherlandofsimtropolis.dudyconstructor.com/forums/index.php Star League http://motherlandofsimtropolis.dudyconstructor.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?fid=44 Poster: Promotion movie is also coming.

Nexis of Genesis is quite long, over 100 pages (this one is merely 35) Annoucement Could be a good news, could be a bad news I'm getting quite tired with some negative politics ongoing on ST...... (not with mods, but a group of people who are waaaaay over-serious about "unions" - basically, things that are totally irrelevant to their studies, careers, jobs, real life in general or even SC4 gameplay.) I like football_fever's quote It's just a game It's just a game It's just a game It's just a game I'm taking a break from ST, to recharge my "mental battery" and shift some effort toward my real life. One thing to mark: this does NOT mean, "CJ closed". Taking a break from ST as a site, not from the SC4 community that you can see some of it here Before I started this CJ, I prepared a load of update packages - so doing it again, this time with higher quality. My creativity projects will continue - Modular Coruscant Tileset and starships will be out (keep your eyes on SimCityForce or Massively Gigantic Japanese BAT Gallery thread in HK/Asia BAT team), and contributions to SimMars will continue (again, keep your eyes on that part!). This CJ is originally story-oriented, and stories go better if it comes in one sequence. So, rather than hopping between BATing and storytelling, this "mass preparation" would be in long-run, better. And last thing to add - when I come back, there will be loads of massive updates that I will accumulate during the time in hiatus. That include some movies. Until then, all preparations toward this "re-launch" will be done in an external forum http://motherlandofsimtropolis.dudyconstructor.com/forums/index.php?gid=43 People who can't wait to see this saga of far future unfold can visit there to sneak-peak.

@Leech10 And please don't forget to post the registration car in your CJ and not here! Gives you an update @topcliff Thanks. And please have a look at the annoucement below. @sEAhAwk fAn121 You are getting a good point there... I've been BATing and the stories are left out. But I do have plans @outriderdriver Yes, low-rise fillers coming! All these supertowers are made of certain blocks as you can see. That's why this is called Modular Coruscant Tileset. Using this, you can design your own supertower by the way! @Menotyou And 4km is apparently, the height limit for SC4 as a game Anyway, I've done a 22.1km tall structure before @Schulmanator Thanks! Nothnig is impossible on SC4! @crushedcar Those textures are the ones Glenni (or mightygoose?) uploaded on ThePlanningPages.com @zelgadis Thanks! I just wanted to try some more alien-shaped starships. It's nicely coming out And all Lyra thing and such - just take your time. No reason to hurry @belfastuniguy Star League finally getting enough loads of sci-fi BATs.... Btw, yours was also set in something like 24th century? But anyway, Terra Dome is probably the upper bound for what is considered feasible in modern standards...

Can't wait to see the full power of the city! @Leech How did you read that!?

hooligans!!!!!!

What happened to Horizon Point? Another computer crash?

And when Beta 2 comes out, Star League will release scifi CJ starter's package and scifi BAT link mega pack

Exciting space show!!!! btw, how did you ge the planets?

More supertowers coming!!!! The official release of Modular Coruscant Tileset is near!!!!

Well, the one on SimCityForce is just a preliminary release, not quite official...

that's not nice.... lol To me, water looks all right. What I am not quite sure is the pool-sides. Probably it's just not textured yet. I want to see that area partialy wet and people sunbathing :-P

I saw it somewhere in simcity.cn.... Thianz was MODing road textures and calling it "grey road" (in Chinese) Looking for the thread but can't really find...

I was meant to be BATing some more pieces for Modular Coruscant set, but carried away BATing another starship Still under construction...... Interstellar passenger liner, AristaSynclaire - "Lumière"

Well, once it is up and running, it should be in communities going-on section. @jrhnemo Probably, a good starting point is, deciding what you are going to do and what you are not. "politics" is highly discouraged in ST, so you should have a clear line on how far you want to go.

Wow!!!! santamariatimes.com does actually exist!!!!! nice mosaic by the way
