Hmm... I wonder what real-life place this is based on... I'm glad I can be an inspiration to start your own region, and I definitely see flanig's style here as well. I see a potential beltway-completion project for the future in the top-right quadrant. At least you've got a beltway already, which is more than Downingsford can say. Some of the pics look a bit grainy--I don't know what your computer's specs are, but you may want to turn all the detail settings up just for taking pictures.

Encounter Bay - Fishing Village turned Industrial Center turned Metropolis
oroen replied to norwoodman's topic in SC4 City Journals
Weave alert!! It's like the Kennedy Expy in Chicagoland! One ramp per block! quote> I'd just suggest consolidating those interchanges. I'm pretty sure the residents in those houses don't appreciate exit ramps every block either. Unless of course this is supposed to be vintage construction from mid-century... then I'll give you a pass... Coming along nicely. Interesting, varied layouts and development, and the canal islands look nice. -
Those New York row homes look nice in this setting. I had them installed for a while, but they seem to mix better here in a European look rather than with the other American style row homes that are available. The snow looks great (I finally figured out how to get the snow to cover the sidewalks... just needed to take out cycledogg's terrain). I like the view of the final bit of Flegginger Allee also--seems like an appropriate look for being close to the autobahn.

You're finished?!?! My goodness, that's impressive.... The admins should give you a pass on the rules just for that... I raise my glass to you and look forward to more excellence from you. (I was looking for a raise glass smiley, but there isn't one...)

Yippee! Another map! /silliness Seriously, if all you do from now on is post maps, I'll have gotten more than my fill of Thames.

I remember this one! This was one of my favorites for a while! As Nardo said... ::hint hint:: Maybe Mariss Jansons knows something about manipulating the time-space continuum that the rest of us don't...

Or you can encroach the town outward slightly into the farmlands, while still keeping the majority of the farms. Also, if you're really serious about giving this region a British feel, you may look into downloading some UK style buildings from the STEX. I'd suggest looking up buildings by gascooker and rp2005 to get you started.

The Empire of Chaumont - 'Delightfully Oppressive'
oroen replied to jarnomiedema's topic in SC4 City Journals
I'd like to add my reply in this very compelling CJ. I'm pretty sure I've posted once or twice early on, but it's certainly been a while. The views of Mont Napoleon, both this time and previously, were really nice, especially with all the tram lines running by the old row homes. Your harbor areas are great too. Much has been said about the historical aspect of this CJ, so I don't have a whole lot to add to that, but it continues to be quite intriguing. -

It's always nice to go back and rebuild things, using newly available tools (new BATS and advances in the NAM, etc.) and greater skills that we've gotten. I too think this will be fine without a story line; I think you've established the story quite well to-date. The overpass over Lakeside Drive is nice... you're right, they take some effort to construct but usually end up looking quite nice.

I like the way the developments are contouring to the lake.
