These reviews sound very fair, I do like that it's not all positive, but it leaves me with one question... Can CJ's that are on a different site be reviewed? -
I'm sorry, everyone, I've been really sick these past couple of days. I have the pictures all ready, I just need to resize them and put them in order. Tomorrow will be the day, I promise!

Hey everyone, Just to let all of you know that I'm rounding out my civic stuff today and should be ready to post another update soon. I don't think we'll be seeing any grown lots for a while, though - it's a lot of work, setting up this stuff. I'll reply to everyone when I post - and I've got a bit of a cold, so if I sound delirious or start talking about something completely unrelated, bear with me.

Hi everyone! I hope at least some of you remember New Terrasia, my first... attempt at a CJ. Sadly, I lost the Terrasia files when I got my new Mac computer, and as some of you know I only recently began playing SC4 again - by recently, I mean I didn't even know where my disks were until last week. Thus, this CJ will be a bit on the unorthadox side. There WILL be a story and a nation and a flag and all that, but not for a while yet. For now, it will pretty much be me writing down the progress I make on building the city each day. Of course, ALL and any critisiscms and comments are welcome. Finally, please to note that I have NO lots/BATs yet. I am downloading some as we speak. As my collection grows, so will the city. So, without further ado, I present... the city - and later region - of Ciara: Episode Index: Episode 1 - From the Ground Up If you don't want to take time to read the whole thing, each episode has a picture of the region at the beginning and end of the episode to mark my progress. ----- "From the Ground Up" We'll start with some land. It ain't much, but it does kinda look cool, right? The idea was to make the city look sort of... enclosed in the valley, which was probably a sizeable crater once. The ring of gentle hills (and the one not-so-gentle Knot in the corner) surrounds the center of what is sure to become a bustling city. The little plateu in the center of the city is entirely man-made - but that's another story. Obviously, the first thing we'll need is a good transportation system. The city will be divided into three - or more - 'rings', each housing a separate zone. This area you see here is the innermost ring, or the First Ring, under construction... don't you hate it when SC4 makes you redo the terrain 15 times to build something? Ah... that's much better. I decided to use some of the cool-looking NAM interchanges, as you can see, and I'm quite happy with the results. The trees are mostly default, I'm afraid, I haven't gotten around to downloading other ones yet. Here's the completed First Ring. Note the tunnel and the road accross the middle... they'll both be important later. The Rock Mod I'm using is PEG's Mossy Granite, which I think fits nicely. This is a closeup of the northern 'Joint' which connects the First Ring to the others. I was really pleased with how that texture came out; the NAM lots just seem to blend into the hillside... Of course, this is the South Joint, and you can also see that construction has started on the Second Ring. The avenure traffic will be something to see - once there's someplace for traffic to come from. Here's the completed Second Ring, connected to the First. I might extend those roundabouts later and make them connect, too. A 4-quadrant map would be fun. This is the Knot, the largest mountain in the Ciara metropolitan area and a location which will eventually play a large role in our sto

Sum 41 - Walking Disaster... yay Google! Sample (and quite easy): Angels have fallen, Fallen from heaven. Where did they go? Noone could save them, No one ever gave them. them... Their chance to know. When I hear them below, I think how it is to be weary. Children are restless, They know what can happen, When men are vane. Talking in riddles. Try to keep them from knowing, You've gone insane...
