Before I start the map I want to make some testing...

My question is: Are these beauties compatible with : "no spoiling natural terrain"

?¿

I hope so....

For sure you can use it ... obviously some severe terraforming will be needed at some places to make something work .... I love these ... are they available in public ?

I think those heavy metal machine are somy bats

Alek King of SC4 · December 20, 2006, 06:42:56 AM

I am thinking about joining in this as it looks like some fun, question, cheats such as super demand, money, ect can we use? Anyways i might download this map and show you all some of my wacky ideas.

Hi Alek, I think its fine to use "cheats" if you want (but cheats is such a relative term anyway). Its mainly about how you play the game, and the more playing styles the better. So feel free to play it however you like, and have fun.

I'd love to see what you make out of this map.

Colyn · December 20, 2006, 06:48:01 AM

Cheats and whatever is not an issue ... most important in these Experiments is just to get more people to play seriously and show what they do with what is out there.

For me and a few others we are looking for specific technical things that we are concerned about but in general everybody uses some form of a cheat.

The game money system is just as broken as the garbage system and the advent of custom lots screwed the money even further. So the money issue is not important to me ... so is the garbage issue.

What I care about are the demands and satisfaction of the demands, occupant numbers and growth frequency.

Hi to all,
Yes, those are SOMY's BATs and I am still waiting for a nice place to use them... the pics above were made just for fun

SOMY'S site

Scroll down to find the pages list and enjoy

!!!

Btw, the models are based in RL Krupp excavators in Germany

. I just cant imagine how big such a machine is !!!!

keithsed · December 21, 2006, 08:42:47 AM

HELP! I hope I didn't break it.

I want to join this project but when I click on the link to get the map I get a new window that says I'm not authorized and that I need to log on.

Log on to what? I thought I was already logged on.

What's up doc?

We do have rights issues with the exchange and we are working on it ... Click on the File Downloads link at the top of the screen and get the map from that exchange ... hopefully we will get most of the tiny bugs resolved in the coming days.

TheTeaCat · December 21, 2006, 10:56:19 AM

Fantastic Shots everyone.
Cant wait to see more. really I can't

EDIT:

P.S. It's an Honour to become a Governor in this thread.

Check this used excavator advertisment http://www.jmc-machinery-sales.com/Used_Krupp_Bucket_Wheel_Excavat.html

@Jeronij - using somy's excavators looks awsome....but what landscape modd are you using? someting from cycledogg? it almost looks like you married two different ones...

tkirch · December 22, 2006, 04:05:44 PM

I am definitely going to work on this along with Elephant Bay. I like the challenge. Great idea this was.

I used Cycledogg's Painted Desert terrain mod for that map. You can see more from this city's textures in the Game Experiments board

I've been thinking about it for a while, I think im going to try and get in on this.

I'll start day after christmas.

Curious about the rules, does all of the growable custom content need to be BSC, and are some plops(landmarks) allowed?

sam · December 24, 2006, 12:40:21 AM

Hi Hamster, you can use whatever you wish. The main idea is to build in harmony with the terrain and the environment.

Welcome aboard, I look forward to seeing what you come up with.

BigSlark · January 10, 2007, 08:31:16 PM

I downloaded the Mount Robson map from STEX and got it installed. It doesn't look like the same map everyone is currently using, especially the lack of a large body of water.

I look through the downloads and couldn't find it in there.

Am I just really confused?

beskhu3epnm · January 10, 2007, 08:33:29 PM

BSC is using a modified version of that map, and it's available here at SC4D in the downloads section. You may have to scroll a page or two.

The map you have DL'd is the one I created, and is of accurate scale (including elevation). It is quite extreme....

Colyn · January 10, 2007, 09:41:04 PM

There is a link to the map in the first post.

Elektra · January 15, 2007, 07:24:18 AM

Hi,

This is probably not the place to post this question, but I couldn't anywhere else. I wanted to play along with this project. I have downloaded the map....making note that it is in sc4m and has a config file once extracted.

"Newbie ?" : how do I get the map to work in SC4? Noticed that the format is not the same as the other installed maps...

Now I know I am not a dummy, but I have always made my own maps of whatever was in my head at the time. This is a little new to me, some assistance please? I have looked for information on getting it installed on here and ST....I guess I wasn't searching correctly, cause I know it is somewhere.
