Cypherus21 : I would like to use taller buildings. But spending 23 months of painfull recreation I can't see myself not doing it the right way. Frogface : Yeah the CJ is nearing 2 years now. And for that mod I was really excited when I seen pics. But I know that buildings wont grow along it. And I need to see what other dependencies that mod may have. I'm really iffy with mods at first but have found a few that made this CJ possible.

Edmonton May 6/05 Yesterday afternoon in eastern Edmonton there was a chemical explosion that closed many roads and had some areas evacuated. Luckily the wind was blowing east away from the city. One reason why alot of Edmonton's refineries and chemical plants are on the east end. While Manufacturing is on the west. The fire ended up being a 3 alarm blaze and was later found not to have a difference in chemical composition then most any other fire. The Edmonton Emergency responce headquarters was rarely activated just incase of a Toxic cloud blowing over the city and for a mass evacuation of perhaps a good sized area of the city. While at work I could see the smoke from my bar. I thaught it was a refinery doing a bad burn off. I found when the evening news came on what had actually happened. Heres a few small pics and where it happened on the map. Back to the CJ, The city is a few thousand away from being at 400,000. I've also put in 10's of 1,000's of jobs. the city is growing at a good pace.

Edmonton May 4 / 05 I've done alot more work on the region including a few different areas. But I've been recreating downtown the most trying different buildings in areas. Downtown is far from done and already on its 849th year of building. Here is another sneak peak at the area....

I also wouldnt recomend Vancouver for anyone. I think it would be a good challenge even for myslef. And Bartonn, Vancouver is 2.1million and is double Calgary. Unless you get technical and only include what is officially Vancouver. If you do decide to takle Vancouver. PM me. No city can be made right without some certain first steps. Trust me I know them.

Edmonton May 2nd I've been working on Edmonton after some nice down time from the CJ. One thing I find is I really want to show many or any updates but the city is built sparaticly with many areas worked on and few being completed as of now. And I hate to show half finished work. But with 90,000+ views and no updates of late I think I will begin showing areas that are half finished and let everyone watch as areas grow. Today is a very small update but I will have alot more to come. Also this morning I finished the massive Mill Creek / Connors Road / Scona Road interchange just across the river from downtown. I wish I had the Mutart to put in the area. With a little more work I should be showing that area soon. Here are a couple of other pics from the downtown area and a region view. Also the links are to large detailed maps of the region. Link to Transportation view of Edmonton Link to Satellite view of Edmonton

City of Edmonton - April 26th I've been doing some work lately on the region boosting its population by a few thousand. And I've also been playing my region of The Monarch Coast after taking a good month or so off from the game. I've mainly placed in residential housing to get the job demands up as always. Raindog : If your interested in moving to Edmonton lol be ready for the winters. If it wasn't for that this would be a paradise. ost2life : The picture of the police is great. Edmonton has a rich history of WW2. We have many military and police officers that travel the world like the ones you met. And to say there from the Londonderry division is unreal since that is where I grew up and still live. Small world eh.... ;o)

City of Edmonton : I have been pretty busy lately. If you look at the CJ at this time last year it somewhat stopped for a while too. I've joined a hockey team, started Mt Biking again, and have already started doing trips to the mountains. Plus work is busy and with the nice weather I've been doing more with my family. I haven't played SC in weeks. And its true Absence makes the heart grow fonder. Every now and then I take breaks and when I get back to the CJ I have a new found drive. But....don't worry the CJ isn't dead. Just on a needed holiday from it. I should be back in a bit pounding out the pages. After all this CJ is nearly 2 years old and should be finished in 2007. Thanks for everyones patience.

MTLT17 : Well the region is 21months old. I don't think it will be done in 3 months. Maybe another year or 2. And as for SC5... I am a sceptic on that coming out in the next 3years. And when it does they have already vowed to make it simple so it will gain new players and help EA make more money. So whenever and whatever SC5 turns out to be I'm not sure if I'll be its biggest fan. If someone wants a simple SC play the classic like I did for the better part of a decade. I think they should make this game alot more complex. For me to find it a challenge I have to recreate a city of 1million. NintendoMaster128 : Well...your right...but it was the home of the Edmonton Trappers from the PCL. Because of Edmonton being so far away from other teams the travel cost for the league wasn't worth it. And after Calgary and Vancouver folded the league pulled the plug on them last year. Edmonton did very well in attendance but that wasn't enough. I think the Trappers where around for 25 years or so and won 3 championships I think... I'm not sure how accurate those numbers are... but it was sad to see them leave. Now we have the Edmonton CrackerCats in the Northern League at Telus Feild. Perhaps the worst name for a team ever. Edmonton : I've done alot along Calgary Trail/Gateway Blvd today. Putting in 10% of the regions jobs in just a few hours today. With the job numbers going above what I need to keep R$$ growing I now have room for 20-30,000 in housing. The region should pick up some good numbers in the next few days. Any request?

Edmonton March 20th This is a small update. But I wanted to show the fragmented work I've been doing. Its hard to update the City when I jump back and forth from areas. Its nearly impossible to show anything that is complete right now. And I'm not big on showing half finished work... One reason I build like this is the city grows more evenly. For this picture of Downtown I randomly picked 20 of 100's of possible areas to pick off. For anyone who knows the city these should stand out for them. And for those who don't as downtown goes into the 1000's of years you'll get to know it a little more.

supersimman : thanks for welcoming everyone to page 40. sturmnacht : That is an amazing city even from the small above overview. I still own SC3000 but I dont have it here right now so I can't DL it and see the details. I wouldn't take credit as creating the only Edmonton on SC3000. But perhaps the only one that is shown on the net. I created the entire city of Edmonton on SC3000. The same size as I'm doing now but on the obvious smaller SC3000 map. Your work on the central area of Edmonton is just great. I'll be downloading it when I get my SC3000 back.

NintendoMaster128 : The sign is the perfect scale and really makes the building. Great progress. I'm really anxious to get it in the city. kassarc16 : The CN Railyards on the Northside of the Airport need alot of work. So far there is only rail placed there. But as requested here is a preview aswell with some other half finished areas around the airport. (note : if anyone can see the cities age is 548yrs. And isn't the oldest area in the region). Also any industrial area seen in these pictures will be redone. There not replicas of each and every building but just placed Industry for jobs. This area at 548yrs needs another 500-1000yrs put into it for completion.

Piel Morena69 : Heres the regional photo of the airport. Thanks for the request. NintendoMaster128 : Thats great. I was beginning to wonder lol. I've been working on the area the Telus building goes. Perfect timing. Sounds like a great update may be coming.

Edmonton March 17th Chunky_Monkey_14 : The roads are still being layed and are at around 95%. But I do things in steps so I don't get ahead of myself. Terraforming first, Roads, and then building. For other regions that arent recreations I invision the road network but no I dont lay it all out first. nooneatall : Anyone who knows me, knows I don't give up. This CJ will continue as long as this site is up. That is the only thing that can obviously kill this CJ. And about the mounties, all but one was officialy on dudy. I've been working on the region again at a better pace. I've done some work around the airport, downtown (which is at 720+ years now lol) and highlands. The only thing that really slows me down is trying to get the proper look of every building in the city. Realisticly a few 100,000. For most commercial areas I try to lay down a building that is somewhat simular. Same goes for all Res that are Med to High. And I'm trying to get the look down of every industrial building too. Any building you see in this CJ is a representation of the real thing. Never just a random RCI growth. - Updates soon -

It's funny I seen this thread today. Just today I was wondering what will happen when some of my Edmonton Areas hit 1,000 years. Downtown the most important area of the city is at 700 some years. And at the rate its growing it should hit a few 1,000 years. So when I pass 1,000 years soon we'll see.
