Retro's Building My First Region: Limistéar
That Retro Guy posted a topic in SimCity 4 General Discussion
When I returned to SimTropolis, @Cyclone Boom welcomed me back with this: Well, now that I (finally) have a map, I figured now is as good as time as any to start the "Building my First Region" thread. Firstly, here's the Region map: Secondly, for those of you that haven't been following my journey to start my first Region, allow me to explain the Region name: Limistéar According to Google Translate, Limistéar is the Irish word for Region (or Area). As you can see, there are only 3 cities in my first Region. I was a bit intimidated looking at the size of the Regions included with the game so I created a (much) smaller Region. The cities of Limerick and Killarney will be Farming Communities whilst Dublin will (hopefully) be a Metropolis with an Airport, Seaport, etc. with some farms on the outskirts. Limerick and Killarney might have a Landing Strip each . . . I haven't decided yet. So with the help of my beloved Paint Shop Pro 5 (PSP5), I started planning my Region: The purple trapezium is the planned route for the Passenger Train with the small rectangles with the P in it will be the Station. The red triangle is the planned route for the Freight Train with the small rectangles with the F in it will be the Station. The yellow circles are the proposed City Centers (or is it City Centres) with the Commercial Business District (CBD). It's getting really late here (about 2AM), so I'll finish up by showing you the plan for Limerick (Killarney will be the same but I haven't made the image yet). Anyways, here's the proposed Limerick: The green circles with the Vs are the Farming Villages that (obviously) will be connected by streets. I'm going for a good old-fashioned quaint Farming Community feel here. There might be too many green circles. It all depends on how big I make the Villages. Any and all comments and suggestions are (as always) greatly appreciated.
