UPDATE 17 Antoine said to his friends : - My friends, it’s one of the most extraordinary waves I’ve ever seen ! C’mon look at it, it’s perfect - …? - Hey you know what, we should make a surf camp here ! Look at that wave, look at that white sand beach, it’s THE place here - Well Antoine, what the.. - See dudes? The swell is so regular, this tube is a dream - Antoine… - Seriously, we guys could shape our boards with those giant trees and surf every morning till the end of times… our female Malagasy slaves would build comfortable huts with pillows made of those dodo feathers - Antoine…? - Hey we could even make wax for our boards with fat from those turtles ! - Antoine ! - And that’d be OUR wave, we’d keep it secret, not a word to governor Flacourt ! - Antoine ! - Yeah ? - Give me that bottle! - … No… - Antoine... You don’t want to dream to be eaten by those giant anguillas tonight again, do you? Remember it’s 1654, galleons, Louis XIV and stuff you know. So please give me that bottle! - Hmmmm well ok And they slept for the night.

UPDATE 16 They proved to be extremely imaginative. I Hope you like it !

@Solopop it's coming !!!

UPDATE 15

UPDATE 14

@lucky7 it was made from a map i found on the stex. I had to redraw many things however, like rivers and ravines. The terrain mod is colombus

UPDATE 13

@TekindusT even if you're not used to look at natural CJ's... you'd better enjoy it before I go further in history ! we have freeways, airports, supermarkets... and we're gonna reach soon 1 million inhabitants

@ Archean : yes, the map was baiscally imported. By the way, I apologize for not giving credit to its creator, but I don't know who he is. The map showed with precision the mountains, the coast, the plains and such, but I had to redraw every single ravine and river. That was the hardest part of the terraforming. Just be patient for the sim cities, the first settlers haven't been all around the island yet !

UPDATE 12 Hope you like it !

@psander : the lake has dried up and looks more like a swamp now ! and l'Etang Saint-Paul is very polluted ! But wait, we're just in 1654 ! You'll see why later !

is that plopped beaches or modded terrain? and where did you get those sun umbrellas? your work is excellent !
