PNG is also the default format for screenshots on windows. It's how sc4 do them. 4.6MB may not seem much for people with very good internet speeds, but some other people might be browsing the forum on mobile data plan or even on caped internet. (This still happens a lot in rural USA)

Very nice slope developement, seems that the final effect with all those retaining walls will be great I can see, you try to make some "palace quartier" on the right side of the screenshot

I like how you vary the cityscape with different angles and kinds of buildings and stuff I think it gives depth and character to the city.

the city layout is already very interesting, with friendly and beautiful diagonal outlook to exploit. 
I look forward to see more.

I've seriously had to alter the way I browse and use the internet since moving into the county (country). It's not very country, but aside from cell towers and satellite internet the only other option is dial up, and I'm not even sure what dial-up provider I could get nowadays, so instead we have data-capped satellite internet, which has seriously curbed my YouTube habit.

I've started to avoid forum based CJs as a result, which is especially a shame for SC4D, but also for ST due to the new way they render CJ listings (very image heavy).

Everyone expects the user to have wonderful internet, but don't make any allowances for the rest of us. It's all a conspiracy to get us to move to the cities. A conspiracy I tell you! 

But seriously, my browser just borked on the previous page; it was DLing too slow for the web browser to continue, and half of the pictures only half loaded (the bottoms are black) and the rest just don't show. It wouldn't be too bad except that reloading the page redownloads all the pictures on my DataCapped Satellite Internet. I don't have this problem when I go into town, but at home it really kills my MD/CJ reading.

I like transport as they are built. I look forward to see more!

Thanks for the advice on images all you guys. 
For the ST Winter Scene challenge I was working on three images, and I just wanted to share them here. You'll see more of both the City of Niederbauen and the resort of Hörnli over the coming months, but in the meantime, I hope you enjoy these Christmas and Winter themed images.

The snow scenes are quite wonderful, I don't think I've seen anything like that before in SC4. Well done 

[JP Schriefer]

Truly impressive *_*

[dyoungyn]

I agree, great ski resort.  I grew up in the mountain states in the West and the realism looks great.  Where would one find such a long Ski lift chairs from?

[metarvo]

Just look at those slopes!    Good job.

[Vizoria]

Very cool! Great ski resort.

[MushyMushy]

There's been too much new and ground-breaking stuff here and on ST lately! 

Seriously this is great. 

[Abrams124]

Hands down on the ski slope,as a long time skier,i approve!

[Girafe]

Love these snowy pictures. Nice use of the ski lifts 

Good luck for the competition in Simtrop

Thank you reddonquixote, [/size]Schriefer, [/size]dyoungyn, [/size]metarvo,[/size] Vizoria,[/size] Mushy and[/size] Abrams for all of your very positive and warming comments. And a special thank you to [/size]Girafe, as without his BATs and Flora, the ski resort would have never been started.

Thank you all!

The first mosaic is indeed perfect, can't be more realistic ! 
Amazing really, i can't wait to see more of the city Niederbauen too. 

[compdude787]

Looks nice!!!

[kbieniu7]

Oh dear! It's stunning! Reminds me that I haven't been skiing for few years already... I need to do it this year

[Abrams124]

Started work on this Mountain-lake town. Just the foundations and centre done so far. What do you think?

Amazing!May i ask for the link of that cool castle?
