Anahuac

Berethor · November 10, 2007, 08:18:09 PM

Hello SC4Devotion community.
Welcome to my first Mayor Diary at SC4Devotion. The region: Republic of Anahuac

I'm not a expert in eye candy, I usually play the game with zones so I'm open to all criticism to improve my region

and my cities also my english is very poor so please excuse me if i have some mistakes.

Anahuac is a region with many valleys, rivers and mountains. In future updates I'll show the satellite view. Also the region is the home of three different cultures: Asian, Latin american, and European.

Map, bats & modds
I have used a awesome map from Heblem
Mods: I have the NAM, Block ALL Maxis Buildings, Industry Quadrupler V2.1, Super Demand Ordinance, 3 Terrain and water mods, SAM, NAM, etc
Bats: I use bats and lots of BSC, SFBT, LBT (my team), NDEX, Simgoober, Asian bats, Jeronij and Cycledogg landscape stuff and many others.

Now, the pics

Introduction:
The fist place to visit in Anahuac is the mayan ruins in Tulum, at the north of the region
It was the home town of the mayan culture, today is one of the most important turistic places in Anahuac

I hope you enjoy this pictures:

Berethor, first off welcome to the wonderful world of MDing and you have a wonderful start here!!!! I love your stream area and the flow of the ruins is wonderful.... I soo cant wait to see more here and congrats again see you soon - pat

squidi · November 11, 2007, 01:19:29 AM

what to say - your style is great and i love the landscape
really good job

quackmofro · November 11, 2007, 02:32:43 AM

So is this going to be something like a travel guide to the region? If so, that would be great! I love where this is going.

The ruins look great, and come complete with an ancient Mayan ball court. Nice touch

What actually attracted me to this is that there's a town down the road from where I live in Texas called Anahuac. I wasn't aware that the name actually referred to a region including the Valley of Mexico (learned this after doing some light research, a.k.a. Wikipedia

).

You have a good start, and I'm looking forward to seeing more.

bat · November 11, 2007, 04:03:30 AM

Wonderful start there! Beautiful pictures! Looking forward to more...

Strechnitz · November 15, 2007, 11:29:02 PM

A wonderfull start of your MD Berethor.

Tulum is a spectacular ruined city!! I wish I could be there

So many lovely and unique bats!

Are all the temples excavated or is here room for another archeological expedition?

Pat, thanks for the warm welcome, i'm glad that you like the start of this MD.

squidi, Thanks a lot!, btw This is my first eye candy with landscapes

quackmofro , originally yes, its like a travel guide and of course the name of anahuac is to refer the valley of mexico also many places have the same name

bat, thanks, hope to see you again!

Jayo, Also i'll make asian and european cities too, oh yes, I delete the grid.

The tea cat, Nice to see you here, Thanks for the tips!

Schulmanator, Thanks, maybe I'll make a second pack of piramid and ruins

Nascar guy, And you won't repent

Sebes, Thanks a lot, I'm glad that you like it

Strechnitz, thanks a lot, of course this is the first of many archeological expeditions

Update 2. City of villareal.

This city is located really near of Tulum (15 miles). In the past this city was very poor and unknown. But in these days the city is growing fast, thanks to the tourism.

bus station and city entrance.

The Historical Downtown & the "alameda" (city park)

The tula lake

a night view of the city

Hope you enjoy this trip
