My city's Haugesund: Basically a smaller city on the coast of Norway, halfway between the two bigger cities Stavanger (200 000) and Bergen (300 000) Haugesund itself has 35 000 within it's 72km2 area, and 90 000 total.

I quite like it, you say it doesn't look so realistic, but i disagree with you, this looks like a perfectly normal American city. =)

OMG! a soviet esque school! Niiiiice, i needed that!

So here it is then, my fabled new CJ as Owen/Yoman3 told you about in P.S.S.O. But before i start, i'll just have you know: The Pridnestrovian republic is not a full recreation of Moldova or the seperate state of Transnistria within Moldova's border, any cities, towns lakes, mountains, hills, roads, streets rivers, valleys, ravines, canyons, canals, harbours, brainleeching facilities do solely just borrow the names of existant places within Moldova without necesarily being a recreation. Now that we have the mumbo jumbo explained, let's move on: Moldavian Soviet Socialist Republic, or Republic of Moldova? The year is 1990, the old Soviet Union is slowly disintegrating from it's former vast greatness, nation after nation start to declare their own independance from the Russian Motherland. Now it's Moldova's turn, with support from the USA, they try to break apart from the Soviet Union. This was a fatal decission, the untouched communist region of Pridnestrovia started to fight back, in an effort to try to drive the Americans out of the country and regain communist rule over the country. That, was the start of a civil war, that would continue raging for over four years, leaving the country in complete turmoil. War... Villages burn, many young men die, and thousands of refugees flee from the war torn parts of Moldova. Guest artist: El Burro After just one year (1991) the Pridnestrovian Red Army(PRA) had suffered great losses of both men and equipment, the situation seemed quite dire for the old Soviet Rrepublic, and each day that passed, the Americans advanced in liberating the nation. But despite of the rather dire results, hope was just arround the corner. On the 7th of November, 1991 the P.S.S.O offered to help out the vastly outnumbered PRA, by offering support, this was gladly accepted by the remains of the PRA, hours later, vast convoys of military equipment rolled onto the wartorn roads of Moldova and Pridnestrovia. Together the Army of the P.S.S.O and the PRA regained the confidence in ridding the Moldova of their "vermin". Support arrives at last. Victory, but at what cost? As the years passed, the situation changed dramatically, the world watched in terror as it watched the mangled American tanks and jeeps lay scattered anywhere where battle between the two armies have commensed on the news. Eventually it lead to the US abandoning the war, and leaving the wartorn country to the Pridnestrovians and the P.S.S.O. The victory of the Communists came as a huge blow for the ones who wanted democracy and freedom, the following years after the civil war would be a though period for them, they would be chased, killed, hanged, or executed in other ways by the victorious communists who now regained the control of Moldova, in the year 1994 the country was Renamed to be Pridnestrovian Moldavian People's Republic. A Victory parade held in 1994, to clebrate the victory of the communists, the vehicles used were a mix of the PRA and the ones which belong to the P.S.S.O Army. The SCUDs as you can see here are not the property of the PRA, but of the P.S.S.O What about the flag? As the country was reborn, most beleived that it was time for a change of flag design. Many design drafts were made. the first draft was this: It was disliked by the public, mostly because of the black, which had some undertones of anarchism, others also meant the colours symbolised oppresive forces. What would eventually be the flag of the new nation would be this: The green shall represent Farming. The cog shall represent industry. The compass shall represent education and intelect. Next update will be due in a few hours.

If you modelled the cul de sac, the houses, and their gardens, then put it either on a smaller lot, where it would overhang, or on a square lot, then yes.

Wow... well that was quite some feedback So here's a new treat; a new update. Replies: @ Timmystwin: Who doesn't love cheese? @ TekindusT: Thanks! @ Cacks: sure took some time makiing all those commieblocks though.... >_> @ Blue_Lighting: OMG OMG OMG WTH BBQ! @ Simhottody: Good, komrade Todd.. @ Benedict: you mean like now? @ Ecoba: Spent 2 months alone on putting many of the lots together XD

To be honest i prefer the more blurry and less crisp approach GMAX BATs and your custom made rig makes, they fit better with existing BATs IMO. LTBL BATs are great and all, but we have several years of BATs made before LTBT, and to be honest i would prefer buildings to mix with those, and Maxis' works, which is why i chose to go back to BAT, and try out Sam Johnson's rigs too. So to me, these buildings are a welcome addition.

Lost interest for a while, but now... IT'S BACK, BABAY! Here's some pics from around the city, and it's countryside. If you forgot what the CJ is about, please read the first post
