Welcome to Argentum, my first ever MD.  I've been working on this region for over a year, and gradually improving it (many of those improvements have involved De-Maxisification).  I'm not the greatest city developer by any means, but I've gotten great enjoyment out of this region.

There are a few basic premises I'm taking with my approach.  I'm a big "roadgeek", so this MD will focus a lot on transit networks, and most of the time, I'll be presenting it from the perspective of a Transportation/Land Use department.  Each update will follow a number of different construction projects being undertaken across the region. 

As you may know, I'm also actively involved in the Transit Modding community, with the NAM and RHW, and this will serve somewhat as a preview for some of my works-in-progress, namely, the RHW Modular Interchange System (RHWMIS), which is essentially a "toolkit" for the creation of completely custom interchanges.  There may be some other surprises on that front as well.

Here's a few pics as a bit of a teaser before the first "real" update:

Some suburban areas




Some scenic areas




Some of the construction projects underway






And some nearly completed interchange projects






Finally, here's a map of part of one of the suburbs.  (Warning: The image is very large. ;))


I'll have more up soon, including some background about the region, as well as an even larger map.

That is a very nice start Alex, and I am looking forward to see more of the Ergentum region. Did I see a RHW puzzle piece that is in developement at the moment? Its looks great!

When I see your name under the 'originator' poster, I knew there will be some nice RHW pics as well as anything roads related !

Like the 'De Maxisification', the game take another dimension with custom content only :)

Hey Alex, there a some great intersections shown here. The small one near the bridge ending is very creative (or did the constructioner had some pints to much  ;D ).

Great map too !!!  &apls How many hours did that take you  ??

This region looks great, Alex. I like the suburban development you've done as well as showcasing the RHW and MIS.

Great start, Alex! Everything looks like it's coming along splendidly. I love your use of the RHW and the puzzle pieces from the NAM. I'm a big fan of roads and transportation networks, too, so I'm eager to see what you're going to do next. The map you made is fantastic, too. Keep up the good work, my friend!

Shadow Assassin

Hey, nice to see Argentum. :P

Nice job. I quite like the map. :P

Grab a slope mod, though. It'd be interesting to see how you deal with it.

I may have this already in my plugins, but what is that plugin/mod used to build the grey 4 lane road/dual carriageway??

It looks fanastic so far, great use of custom content, the terrain mod looks great, works very well.

Very Nice, been waiting for this one for a while.

A question tho, two actually, one, same as belfastinguys question, where can I get the extra wide avenue things, and two, where does one actually get the rhw? i've looked all over and seen it in a few md's & cj's, but can't seem to find it.
just please don't say it's at simcitycentral, I, for some reason, Can't get the registration guys to send me the reg code email ???
Yarbles! Great bolshy yarblockos to you sir!

Wow where dou tou got these runway !?

Nice job so far Tarkus.

I see you're using the new RHW pieces - they're great. I don't even want to build any highways before they will be released ;)
Anyway, I liked the pictures you've shown us. First one present nice, suburban development. But what I liked at most were the construction projects - they look very realistic.

Keep it up!

Those are easily some of the best custom interchanges ever made in Simcity.

Great map, as well.  I like that you are going to take this from a rodgeek perspective - we can anways use more roadgeek MDS!
