Hey Everyone! Just thought I would give you another peak at development of my region. I am trying to keep things relatively consistent and update the entire region as it grows (not just one particular section), so you will notice that things are still relatively spread out. We now move to 1810 when the region is slowly starting to gain residents and a following as a large agricultural region. Approximately 6000 people live within the region to date. The two main areas that have experienced the greatest amount of growth are the city of Cooksville and city of Campbellton. (Sorry for the small detail on the map!) Campbellton: Campbellton has seen a slow but steady increase in farming traffic and residents in the last 15 years. The population has risen to about 900 people in the immediate town centre with a few thousand living in nearby villages. Businesses have slowly started to creep their way slowly towards Fort Campbell as relations with the neighbouring Americans remain friendly. Cooksville: The city of Cooksville also experienced large growth in it's farming community and residents. A small downtown core can now be seen creeping from the docks and heading west. As more residents move to the area, it has also prompted some development in neighbouring Jamestown. Sorry for the short post guys. Hopefully I will be able to ramp up the posts a little bit more as we move into developing the regions rail system. Thanks again!

Hi Again Everyone! My apologies for not getting another CJ entry in here sooner! Thank you again for coming by to check out the development of the region. If you are new to my CJ, welcome and I hope you enjoy what I will be creating and sharing with you. In my first post I gave you a sneak peak at the region I am working with. We are going to fast forward a few years into development as people begin to inhabit Campbellton County. The first image I will share with you is the "map" of the region with all towns that are currently part of the region. As you can see, early development has resulted in the residents setting up their homes and work along the main river and ocean. To the far south you will see a portion of the United States (as Campbellton County boarders it and the Atlantic Ocean) and as time goes on, I will develop this region as well. My second image will show you a little more detail within the region as you will see where some of the larger towns are starting to form. With that, I now want to share three of the main towns that I will be focusing on in the next while. Campbellton Founded: 1787 Population (1795): 128 The town of Campbellton was the first town founded within the region and has played a vital role in the evolution and defense of the region since prior to it's establishment in 1787. Fort Campbell was constructed prior to the city being founded and has protected the waters around the region for some time. The area is predominately a farming area but has capacity to grow and continue being a main shipping area for the region. Willowbank Founded: 1793 Population (1795): 152 Willowbank is for all intensive purposes one of the regions up and coming farming communities. The city was founded with the hope of providing much needed food to troops in Campbellton while also providing an additional port for increased commercial activity. Cookstown Founded: 1794 Population (1795): 72 Although Cookstown is a relatively small town today, it has been said that the city has the potential to become the fastest growing area and potentially one of the largest. The town has an advantage by being a gateway city to the Logan River which it stands next to. In addition, ample farming space and further distance from the American border allows Cookstown the ability to prosper. There you have it guys. These are three of the newer towns that I plan to use as key building points within the region. I apologize for some of the props being slightly ahead of their time but I promise they will fit in better as the region moves into the future. A quick thanks for everyone who left a comment on my last page. When I am playing this game I try to pour a lot of effort into what I create. I hope I keep meeting your expectations and come up with something you guys will enjoy. And just so I am giving some credit where credit is due, the map was not initially made by me. If you would like to use this map, do a quick search on the STEX for Eaton by Jhipolito. I modified the rivers very slightly and gave the map some greenery but the initial design absolutely needs to be credited to him. Thanks again guys, talk again soon!

Hi Everyone, This is going to be my first CJ and what will hopefully turn out to be a fairly realistic looking region. I present to you the region of Campbellton County. Campbellton County is located on the eastern coast of Canada and borders the Atlantic Ocean and the United States. The county was founded in 1795 and has an approximate population of 1000 people. The county currently has 6 small towns which blanket the coast line. The area was originally discovered in the early 17th Century but has only recently started to see some development of small farming communities. More details about the region and it's towns are to come. I hope you keep coming back to see what is in store for the future of Campbellton.

The eventual goal is to get a CJ set up for my region. I think the best way to go about this in my situation will be to build in 1600x1200 and capture in-game screen shots as normal. If I am doing a full region it will just be a matter of changing the resolution to a lower one and saving the regions down as mentioned above. Working on a few regions at a time will make it a little less tedious in the long run I think. Thanks again for your help!

Hey, so I gave it a shot and it did fix the issue so thank you for that. Follow up question. My computer is at a standard resolution of 1600x1200. Is there anyway to avoid those annoying lines in the game and be able to have the in-game resolution higher than 1280x1024?

It happens in both instances actually but that sounds like a great suggestion. I will give it a shot. Thanks!

They are all off. I think it has something to do with the size of the region. The other map I had this issue on was quite large as well.

Hey guys, While we are talking about screenshots, I have a quick question for you too. I have set up a few large regions in past and keep getting these annoying lines across my region... I know it has something to do with the way I am importing them although I am doing everything correctly. Any advice on how to fix?

Maybe as an act of good faith, MC should provide a 100% functional demo version which is active for around 5-7 days. I understand their concern with the size of the file and potential bandwidth issues that would stem from this, but if they truly are committed to the community and it's members, it's a small price to pay. Providing a full demo would at least give people the opportunity to see everything the game has to offer and could potentially bring some people back on the ship. I am a little surprised that they didn't go this route as we all know it's a very ambitious game with a lot of expectations falling on it. Personally, I am going to keep with playing SC4 and using all the great custom content provided from the members here until I hear some decent review of the full-game. It's hard to commit to the initial price of the game when there is still so much that is unknown about it.

Ok, I finally figured out a solution for this. I chose to download "Larsz's SCedit" and I was able to manually change any of the $ or $$ commercial that I saw fit. Looking through that program is seems very useful for small tweaks and would recommend it if anyone else is dealing with the same issue

Hey guys, Not sure if this exists or not. I have been trying to look around the download section with little luck. Is there anything similar to the Industry Quadruplar that can be used to quadruple low density commercial. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!
