Re: Kromeritz.. [CLOSED]

.. an European style MD.

This is not my first attempt at making CJ\MD, but it's my first one on SC4Devotion. Two previous didn't last long as I got kinda fed up with them. Maybe this time I'll have more luck

!

Without to much talking I present you the... Kromeritz !

Today just a sketchy introduction (can I say it like that?

I thought that while making this MD I could also get some "english lessons" from you guys

. So feel free to correct my spelling and other stuff..

)

Kromeritz borders Germany, the Czech Republic and Poland, as I intend to give it an "European feel"

The whole idea started with making a little paper planning:

And this is the resoult as for now:

I've merged two small city tiles in Photoshop:),
here's a link to a bigger version: http://imageshack.us/f/90/merged1and2tilesbig.jpg/

That's all for the beginig. Expect the first update soon as I'm already finishing it. I'll show you some close-ups

Cześć! Miło widzieć jakiś kolejny polski MD

Nice to see another polish MD!
Your screen looks very nice, evertthing fits quite well! By the way it seems like some miniature train dummy

Where did you placed it?
Gdzie to umiejscowiłeś? Dolny Śląsk, Wielkopolska czy może od Czech?

Reikhardt · May 15, 2011, 11:08:34 AM

That's a nice start there, best of luck with your MD!

Ol.S / Benoit · May 15, 2011, 04:02:58 PM

Nice image

I like your style.

RickD · May 16, 2011, 02:39:30 AM

Wow, great scene. I love it.

FrankU · May 16, 2011, 03:17:58 AM

This is a promising thing!
A new country in this area has some real political implications... A historically sensitive area.

The look of the landscape is very natural: you can see that the farms are added later and that some parts of the forest have been kept in place. Especially in the middle part of the image where the road makes some turns through the trees.
Also the many farm fields without a house to it looks very natural. I guess you plopped them?
As last: a question. What is that enormous factory in the upper right corner?

Please continue!

Nice start and fantastic aerial view!!!

Reikhardt, Benoit, RickD, Tomas Neto - thanks guys!

kbieniu - Cześć, cześć! Miło dostać pierwszy komentarz od rodaka

.
Hi, hi! Nice to get the first comment from the countryman. What do you mean by saying "miniature train"? As you can see on the map I've placed it bordering Poland, Germany and the Czech Republic.

FrankU - It's nice to receive such a comment. Yes, I've plopped the farm fields. The enormous factory in the upper right is actually a powerplant. After registrating you can download it here: http://www.simcitypolska.pl/index.php?action=downloads;sa=view;down=196
You can see it in this update.

Well... I've written that you can expect an update soon, but it took some time. Sorry for that - I had my exams, "matura" ( "A Levels" in Britain ) and as my holidays started i had no time for making an update - parties:D:D

Let's go on to the update..

I'll present you some closeups of the areal view posted before. I've managed to detail the river a little. Enjoy..

Thanks for visiting,

Robert

What a great start!

Everything is perfect. The thing I really enjoyed is the curved bridge under construction.

The picture with the kano is perfect.
You made it very realistic

Jack Bauer, peter007-Ernst, Terring7, Ol.S / Benoit, bat - Thanks a lot guys!
