Hello, and welcome to my first MD! Atrubia! To see the newer Atrubia, go here (http://sc4devotion.com/forums/index.php?topic=8101.700). Now for some history of the old: Edit: Dark days, but we're back in the Desert! Forget that "new setting" stuff! Below is the real history!
Atrubia, officially the Royal Atrubian Empire (Arabic: الملكي الذهبي الإمبراطورية) is located on the Arabian peninsula completely bordered by Saudi Arabia. The country borders the Persian Gulf and is directly across from the coutry of Iran. The capital of the country is Atrubia city although the largest city is Meriah City. With it's desert terrain, Atrubian cities primerily lie on the coast although they are expanding inland.
Atrubia is a democratic rebulic and manipulate's much of the prosperous Americas. Atrubia's darker history is shaded and "covered up." Much of it is not released to the general public, although some history is availiable. More and more is becoming availiable as time progresses. Atrubia was discovered during the crusades in 1097. Nothing is known before then as there was no written history and the natives were not too comfortable telling the armies their past.
Atrubia, up to the 1750s, was a very powerful nation and resisted multiple attacks. After the declined of the Age of Discovery (also known as the Age of Exploration). The country soon fell to corruption with the peak of corruption being in 1907. Atrubia was an independent country until World War II when occupied by the American Army. The start of that occuption began in 1942 and ended in 1950 with Atrubia's declaration of independence.

P.S. The next update wll showcase more close up and detailed pictures. But first... Is photobucket free? Because I might switch over from Imageshack if it is.
Looks very nice, the residential area's look like something I would like to live in, and the seaport looks pretty good as well!
I'll be looking for more for sure
P.S.: Photobucket is indeed free
I like the Moon Islands. :thumbsup:
As you're not playing very long this seems quite good. i'd suggest you to use more custom content and as it is a mid-eastern MD, why don't you use some of the houses by frogface, which can be found on the STEX!
Anyway, keep it up!
Interesting Start , i like the houses on the circle islands :thumbsup:
Very cool. One thing: You hit the shores a little to heavy with the flora. Try making it a little more sparse and it will look more realistic. Also i agree with above comments, that this MD is crying out for more Mid-eastern looking BAts.. they are pretty easy to find!!!
Keep up the good work mate!
Nice start! It all looks great, and I'm looking forward to seeing what else is on the way!
looking great! &apls &apls you are, as a 14-year old already doing much better than I can do and I'm turning 18 in July

First of all thanks for leaving a very helpful comment! Yes I know that I hit the shore hard and I really thought I did with the flora. Each is put there to keep the sand from blowing away. So... I will cut back on it though. But it takes a very pricise manner to cut away the mangroves without accidentally destroying the homes. Soon though each house will have it own backyard beach!

Nice update. BTW I think you should terraform the places where ships go because in RL they would stuck (I mean the water is too shallow for them)

I made sure it was at least 8 meters deep which translates over to about 24 ft., more than enough for a tanker ship. But there is a deeper area offshore...
Update 3 should come tommorrow or early Thursday. With a poll...
Beautiful work! Nice mix of towers there, and the low density residential areas look very cool!
Are you going to try to replicate something like the Palm Islands (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palm_Islands) in here at some point? Certainly that artificial barrier reef with the residential housing and the preview you've posted for update 3 remind me very much of those structures.
Nice start to your MD. Great photo editing as well. Looking forward to more! :)

Great update, and that preview picture of the next update is looking good.
To answer your questions...
1) The area looks quite built up so a park or might look quite nice. But it's up to you really. I'm be pretty undecided to be honest.
2) Going green is always good, but the BATs you're using for the current power source look amazing, so again im pretty undecided.
Hello Alex,
Yes of course your work looks great. But I'll tell you what will put it over the top. Try to terraform your shores so they aren't so straight. ;) It might be very difficult to do, but in the end it will surely be worth it.
I look forward to seeing more of your city.
Robin :thumbsup:
Hi Alex...
A great start! &apls
I really liked all the green you started with... in the future, IMHO, I believe this type of planting along the coast lines will become the norm, as over time we have discovered that if the dense plantings along the shore are removed... so is the shore.
I also find it encouraging that a young person would begin a city with land reclamation in this manner... it promises Hope for our future!
Take all comments, mine included, with a grain of salt or a teaspoon of sugar... and remember we are a community of all ages, backgrounds, and nations...
looking forward to more!
great update.
1) why not mix it up? a building with park?
2) if you have a power source that's green and just as amazing as this one, go green. Otherwish keep this one. =D

Robin (rooker1): Okay, thanks for the comment! In future cities there will be more of a terraformed coastline (bays, intlets, etc.)!

Ok! That wraps up the fourth update! Hope you enjoyed your flight to Riyadh International Airport!

Nice airport. :thumbsup:
I could be completely wrong - but as far as i am aware, there isn't a clear base texture, however you can remove the base texture from a lot using the reader.
I'm probably wrong, but i'm sure i heard it somewhere.
Looking good! Nice job on that airport!
As far as I know connor is right, there isn't such a thing as a transparent base texture, there's just a way to mod a lot to remove the base texture.
To Everyone: I will be leaving for a concert in a few minutes. I will be back on the 22nd.
Your Airport is really nice,and where did you get those beauty,wind powerstation(i don't know how do you call it in english :-[ )
the airport is very nice but i would like to know where did you get the international terminal... thanks :thumbsup:
Great MD Driftmaster! Great airport too.
I'm loving the mix of Middle east and American/Western World flavours. I have used those offshort windmills in the past too, but I found that they looked odd placed in deeper water around the base, have you had this issue.
I'll be watching this MD. And you may have inspired me to start my own one....
Fantastic airport! I love it.
Geoff
wow you even have a concord I thought those were banned :o
Wow! Very Good MD! :o Where did you get that Concord??
And I think Concord's were to expensive to run which is why the dissapeared! :thumbsup:

Lovely airport you have there. Always liked Singapore Airlines. :P
Well this is a nice tropical MD. The only issue I have is that your images are all png, which means I have to sit and wait for quite a bit before the page loads, as most of your pics are close to 1 MB each! Please, convert your images to .jpg! (Or at least, post your new images as jpg files.) Jpg will result in a barely noticeable drop in quality, but a massive drop in file size (as long as you don't save in 100% quality). Also, your images look like you've made some extensive modifications, so I'm fairly certain you have the capacity to convert to jpg.
Otherwise, it's a nice MD in a setting that isn't all that common.

Great update , i love the airport :thumbsup:
Another quality update Driftmaster/Alex. I am quite fond of the style of picture with construction scenes. I will have to do my own when I get to making myself an MD. I need to get a little modding project underway first (some farms - I have to BAT some, lot some, mod some - so many different things to do with this game), however. I think I will be getting to a New Zealand style MD some time soon-ish.
The new Riyadh airport terminal is nice, but your placement of the Control Tower baffles me a touch. I might also suggest some variation in the particular lots you choose to fill the spaces in the terminal. You use the one with the boxy thing over and over, when there are 2 (I think) other possibilities. I also like the french buildings in the previous update, though they seem out-of-place.
I don't think you can change the pics in PhotoBucket, but in Photoshop, or whichever graphics editor you use, simply choose 'save as' either add '.jpg' to the file name or, there should be a (whats it called?) scroll down box thing for 'type' JPEG or JPG should be selected.
What are the parking lots you used?
wowa nice airport!
What terminal set did you use?
A quick reply before I load up the moving truck...
Nexis4Jersey: Thanks!
joelyboy911: The "boxy" thing is the airport hotel. It was only plopped once but shown I think three times during the update. I used the NDEX Parking Lots By Ardectila on the STEX.
They can be found here. (http://www.simtropolis.com/stex/details.cfm?id=12774)
Glowbal: Here they are... Linkie (http://www.bripizza.net/sc4/) Go to BAT and hit the button for transit. And scroll down till you see the airport set. Download and there you go!
See you all Tuesday!
Great airport, fantastic update!
Update 8 will come tomorrow....
No, no. I meant the roof junk of the terminal fillers. You only used one type over and over.
Change of plans... I will be leaving to go to a party and not be back until very late. So.... A quick update!

Tomas Neto: Thanks!
joelyboy911: Oh! It seeems I did! It will be fixed right away! Do you recommend any other photo editors besides photoshop? Or can you tell me what a Personal URL is? I have no idea what one is!
Ok... Now... It has come to my attention that we have passed 1300 views! In only 8 updates (I don't know if that is relatively good or bad)! But thanks for your suggestions and comments and well everything else!
And to celebrate 1300 views I give you the first overview of Atrubia! It is not much as there are very few cities in this region so you will see much undeveloped (deleted cities) land.

It is an approx .7 acre estate (gatehouse will be added in a bit as soon as I get back to the game :P) with a dock and a private beach. It is being developed on a new island.
To determine the selection: I have a random selection thing on my mom's phone (came with it I don't know what it is called). If you want it the drawing will be on the 12th update so people can post their bids. Good luck! The home is a 2x3 lot by Mattb325 with a (timed) Trawler, The S.S. Sturgeon. And a pontoon boat (others may be added by the persons favorite BATed boat). I will do my best to attend to that persons likeness of the house. EDIT: You MUST tell me you want to be in the drawing to be elligible. Also you may only enter once!
Update 10 wil be posted tomorrow. Until then!
I've missed a couple of neat updates here. Interesting to see that residential area being put together in the most recent one. Quite the region view as well, it's going to be pretty impressive as that starts to fill in.

And once again I NEED to know if you want the home I offered to be in the drawing for it!
Dont forget! Update 12 is when it ends!
Edit: I really don't want to double triple post two updates.
well well... a new airport =P
Only thing is that the grass near that end of the run way looks silly. :P
I was hoping for an update from that new town you where building, tbh. Next one, perhaps? ;D
Cheers!

Yes yes. Sorry about that Glowbal. I spent all morning working on the city and the my computer said Simcity wasn't working. So I lost my city. It was about time for the update so I just took some pics at night and showcased them.
To everyone... I have not gotten much work done due to me being a part of the Cities XL BETA Test. It has taken 17 hours to download. I am sorry to say but update 12 will be posted tomorrow. Abid Jakartin will be showcased (city not airport) in update 12.
Good work. This airport looks realistic, and great work on last picture ;) Can't wait for more.

I fixed it but took it one step further... Grass is now on the edge of ALL Runways and taxiways for the benefeit of no erosion. And to make a seamless transition... Small bushes mark the edge. It it wide enough for a 747. Also the 747s wings pass over the bushes anyway. But when the time comes more grass srea will be added. Currently no 747s come to this airport. This is just to give you an idea of how big they are. A sample...

Hope you liked update 12 everyone!
Please post comments, hints, etc.
Alex
Atrubia looks pretty nice so far. I'm really glad you've switched over to jpg, it makes such a difference in loading times, even with my high-speed internet! My only concern is that I see tall palm trees and bushes right next to the runway, which is quite dangerous. Everything else looks nice though, and I look forward to seeing more.
Oh, and if you insist that someone takes the house, I'll take it. (Maybe the economy has driven people away from taking it? :D )
EDIT: Congrats on 2000 views! (It's 2009 as I post this edit.)
I´m following this topic a few days and it´s really good to see those pictures they're very nice &apls
(and those bushes maybe you can compare them with another kind of bushes)
greetz me
(P.S. I'm not very good at English so i hope you can read this)
Nice custom content and Great suburbs! keep them presses rolling!
Hi Alex. This is looking really great. I like your residential areas, they look like the type of place I would like to live, by the canal. The new airport is nice too.
Well well, im impressed by the new update. Great job! &apls
Shame on the lost city, though. I know how it feels. :P
Cheers!

Atrubia has some of the greatest ship pilots in the world. But the St. Anne takes up to 24 hours to move out of the port. So Atrubia engineers re-made the port, which will be shown in this update, to save much time and money...

Lovely updates! what do you use for modding the pics?

Actually my pics are not modded in any way unless I I say they are. Only the borders are edited (sometimes).
Nice batch of updates. The cruise ship captains and navigators must have nerves of steel to navigate that area though! Certainly a very challenging port area. Everything continues to look fantastic, keep up the great work!

Yes I have a highway but only in part of the region. A new highway will be added eventually. As for elevated rail... No. I do have a bus/subway/HSR though.

Why thank you! Your MD is a pleasure to look at as well! It is so cool!

Yes the port is challenging. All ships wait till high tide for the best possible way to move out of port but they aren't required to.

As I said that I would finish many unfinished projects in my region so I give to you the temporary Capital building. If anyone knows of a good Non-Maxis Capital building it would be great!

Your suburbs sure look nice :thumbsup: I can imagine going to the food store on my own boat parked in the backyard!
As for the windmills, maybe you can edit the lot to make the base textures sandy so they can fit better in the desert scenery.
To everyone: I am having problems with the LE (again) so there will possibly be NO modified content in the next update.
EDIT: Atrubia has had the prestigous honor of joining the League of Nations. More will come soon on that....
I'm certainly impressed. Judging from the quality of your updates, I can say with confidence that you're a great addition to the League. Welcome!
What problems with LE? Perhaps someone can help... If you say what the trouble is.
Very nice Cinema &apls
I also like that you have some windmills but it is more realistic if you put them on the beachfront or on the top of a hill. ;D
Update 17 will come tomorrow. But if you want to join The League of Nations (YOU MUST HAVE A MD first) here is the policy.

Also while all this is going on a MAJOR collapse of a cruise ship terminal (under its own weight) lead to five deaths in Abid Jakartin.

Wow now these are spledid updates. I really love the cranes you used ( great LE &apls ) and I really love your use of the PEG docks to build your cruise ship port. As with the empty lot, I would go with any building Bixel, or any other of th HKBAT team has :)
My first visit, gotta say that I love the tropical/reclaimed feel of your cities. Everything fits together very well. As for the open lot, perhaps a nice museum complex along the water!

Very nice update. I like the fact that you have so many transport based updates. But here's a little hint:
I don't think anyone cares about the flag. Plus it's only 3 orange stripes, and the word 'Atrubia' - maybe more creativity might garner more attention.

just_a_guy: I think they are. I'm not quite sure! They are the sails of the south by Illtonkso on the STEX.
danielcote: I like to have finctional landmarks but they are all plopped so I guess it is eyecandy!
Bobbi: Thanks! I worked for quite a while trying to get it just right!
joelyboy911: Thanks for the helpful reply! I thought it was a litle bland but I need ideas like your comment! And obviously you probably like to enhance images on photoshop or somethin (if not I'm sorry!) but do you know what the best photo enhancer is? I've seen animated fireworks, rain, snow, airships, battleships (etc.) on many pics but none of them are on photoshop, Infranveiw or Photobucket. Do you know how to do that? If so it would be a BIG help! Or maybe point me in the direction of someone who knows how to do it (if you know anyone)?
That all the replies! BTW update..... 19 is it? Will come monday. I just got back from a trip to W. Palm Beach and I am tired! See you all monday!
I'm not sure about animated fireworks and rain, but they could well be made by hand by the creator. If you want to have animated .gifs in your MD you could use Easy GIF Animator. It has a free trial period. As for enhancing photos, I like to tinker with night shots' brightness and contrast, add and subtract areas, combine elements from seperate images using careful cutting and pasting & things like that. I do these in Paint.NET, which I also use to create my ground textures and BAT textures.
Preview of update 19...

I love the waterfront picture, great leafy suburban area, save for the under bridge area. :D Keep it up! :thumbsup:
BTW, I happen to love flags, and would be happy to help if you wanted to make a different flag for your MD. :)

Very great update &apls
I also need a port. But then with sailers
And it's very nice to see your oil rafinery :P
Nice! :thumbsup:
Do you have a section in your port where the oil gets shipped in? Because that might add in a bit more realism to your port and oil rafinery.
Oil aint getting shipt in with containers. ;) :D
Beautiful updates! I love that suburban residential development. Ironically, that discontinuity between green, temperate trees and the desert is very common in the region you're trying to emulate. I shudder to think how much water they consume!
That port area also looks great! You've used a beautiful mix of details there! Keep it up!
To everyone: The next update might be about a spaceport! I don't know. And to Glowbal, there is indeed a oil dock I just didn't show it. ;)

Quote from League of Nations Conference last night.
QuoteToday at 21:54 The Atrubian Supreme Court was bombed by an unknown military or terrorist group. The people of Atrubia are wondering if more bombings will take place in their captal city of Abid Jakartin. Meanwhile the Capital Building has been evacuated and moved to an undisclosed loction.
People are wondering what is going on. What will be possibly bombed next? Abid Jakartin Intl.? Stadiums? Tunnels? Bridges? Who knows. But the Atrubian Empire Navy (AEN), Atrubian Empire Military (AEM), and Atrubian Air Force (AAF) have been put on full alert. Even one runway has been reserved for Militia Aircraft. Atrubia is located 500mi. South of Kuwait and on the edge of Saudi Arabia territory making it a prime target for air raids.
The building was the oldest in the Arubian Empire and was going to be renovated soon but the bombings got to it before it was renovated. The Atrubian Empire President had this to say at a short press conference a few hours after the bombing,
"Today was a sad day for the Atrubian Empire. Our oldest building in the Nation was bombed by an unknown Military or Terrorist group. 107 people were wounded, and eighteen people's lives were taken away from this earth today; including a close friend of mine. We have reason to beleive it was the Saudi Arabia Air Force, as we have not maintained good relations with the country in past years. We are still unsure of it as the Taliban is active in Iraq, whch also makes them a possibility. Since the raid was under the cover of night, all cameras were useless against planes flying overhead.
People in the city said to have heard a large droning noise before the blasts. The noise was no doubt a large bomber. The Courthouse was very close to office buildings and a dense residential neighborhood so it was a miracle no buildings were hit other than the Courthouse. In the meantime all Military Divisions will be put on high alert and the Capital Building evacuated and moved to an undisclosed location. That is all. Press Conference dismissed."
More will come as more intel is gathered.
Atrubian Empire
Also the Jiesanese government is willing to provide help in any possible way. A quote from the League.
QuotePresident Park Jae-Shin of Jiesan: I am deeply saddened and in grief along with the Atrubian people by this barbaric act that ultimately puts to decline the values of human decency. The Jiesanese government stands ready, as a friend, to supply any assitance at the request of the Artubian government including any necessary actions in order to find and punish those responsible for this tragedy.
New intel has been gathered and one pic of the collapse of the Courthouse at night. Via nightvision camera.

BREAKING NEWS
There was a recent finding in the Capital Building. The finding was the sketches and diagrams of the old courthouse! It was only the buildings so the outside won't be built to exact dmensions but the old courthouse will be rebuilt. The president commented on this saying:
"This was a great finding for the people of Atrubia. It was one of the most beloved buildings in the nation, as being the oldest as well. The current diagrams will be replaced and the new buiding is under construction as we speak."
The building will be showcased in update 26 (that is the timeline for opening).

Great to see that you're back! The update looks fantastic. Could you tell me where you got those AC hangars?
I got them from the AC Functional Airports series which has them on each lot. I just put them on lots and incorporated them into my city!

Welcome back. :)
Well the update looks great. The new court house looks good.
WoW great Can you tell where you get that plopable boat

Good update! Id love to see what the region as a whole looks like. Btw, where did you get those orange-y low rise buildings?

Nice teaser!
Island finished (quicker than you thought, huh?). Winner of poll is 201,000 - 300,000. Thanks to everyone who voted, and congratulations to those who guessed correctly!
YES! ;D I am such a sycick ()stsfd()
Awesome, I got it right! Great job so far, Alex; I can't wait to see the finished island up close and personal!
An update will come tomorrow due to a few island problems. Also I have just figured out (unfortunately) that the island is 99% completed and will stay that way until regional Pop. has reached 1.4 mil. The last RES to grow will be the Al Burj. It is a stage 15 growable. This however will not affect the results of the poll.

Wow black birds!? didn't they have problems firing misiles from them because they were to fast they'd just run through they're own missile? &Thk/(
I think its only if they accelerate they outrun missles.
Love the airbase. Reminds me a lot of Ali al Salem AFB in Kuwait (minus the vehicle washracks in the tarmac). Just a note, if you want to add some more realism, add some organized piles of pallets and palletized material around the hangers and add a logistics yard (more piles of organized "stuff").
Great work!
That's some great work you've done with the airbase. I like the idea of putting an oil refinery nearby. It seems like it would make things more efficient. Nice work! :thumbsup:
Nice job on those latest updates! The airport looks great, and I really like the oil refinery nearby.

Actually, they were just spy planes, I don't believe there were any missile on board, just cameras.
Nice AFB though, could use a bit more jeeps for those high ranking officals to drive around in :)

And a marina has been added as well. ;) Just so you know the bay also needs to have flora and stuff added to it as well.
That's a neat picture! I like the steep cliffs beyond the skyscrapers. They're very picturesque!
Thanks! There is also tours that run up each ends of the mountan.
Could we have some close-ups of the marina please?
That island is pure awesome! Nice job! &apls
Its Great It has everything beaches highrises an oil port yet it still looks empty. Maybe try adding afew more lowrises.
But where? With reefs in the bay you can barely build anything else. Plus its only a city of 9,000 or so.
hm good point. none the less it still looks Great :thumbsup:
I saw your screenshot on the Picture Competition... definitely would have voted for it if you had finished the details in and around that island/reef. That water is just a little to barren. But don't get me wrong, you've done a fantastic job on the islands and the water... much better than I've ever done.
Great work!
Very nice atoll indeed. I like the concept. Couple of questions. In the overview picture I think I see overhead electric transmission lines; but not in any of the close ups, Where did they go? If you are looking for something to hide them I'd suggest PEG's Underground Conduit linkie (http://simpeg.com/forum/index.php?action=tpmod;dl=item995) . I think they'd do pretty well on an island. Also where is the bridge that links to I assume the main land? I've always wanted to try a region that was nothing but a series of small islands and atolls. Good luck with this in the future.

Hey everyone! Glad to see you all like the island. But there is a lot more to this than you think... Yes it is time for my first info update.
Think back... Way back. Nope too far. $%Grinno$% Back to 1576. It is the Age of Exploration's (well around anyway) 100th anniversiary. People are trading with the far east and mid-east. Atrubia back then was a trade hotspot for many things instead of being known for a vacationers paradise. A brigade of British Ships are now just discovered Atrubia and its many riches. But one small fleet set off to the west to find even more gold but stumbled upon Islandia Atoll. This was when pirates were troublemakers but there were none in sight... Islandia atoll back then was surrounded by reef and rocky shore opposed to the now beachy shore.
(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi587.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fss315%2FDriftmaster07%2FIslandia-Oct19111250561367.jpg&hash=fe82475cc624129a8f02cc4ca1d928c4c2bed1ae)
Discouraged, and a bit scared by how protected this area was by reef, (it was as if the Atoll has something to hide) there was a scouting party assembled of five men on a dingy to go to shore and scout out the island. They were never seen again... After three days of waiting for the men to return the ship went away and a small note was documented about the island; "Today we foundeth an island which was surrounded by reef. We senteth five men to go to the island and did not hear from them again. We left three days after they were senteth to the island."
***
Almost 400 years later the island was discovered again by the IJN (Imperial Japanese Navy) looking for a new port in the midst of WWII a little far off course (although they were ordered to go here) they found themselves grounded at the island until they were bombed by American Planes flying overhead.

The island was inhabited shortly after WWII and some reef was demolished for boats to enter and a makeshift Marina to be built eventually (this was only recently approved by the Atrubian Supreme Court.

P.S. Hey Gaston those aren't power lines. They are Palm Trees! The zoom is too far out to show the detail. Also the bridge leads to a neighboring airport. Hope this helps!

Does anyone know about the thing I mentioned? EDIT: What I mean is the annoying auto scrolling when you post.
I've had that happen too. It makes things practically unusable. I don't know what it causes it though..... ()what()
Fantastic atoll and I really enjoyed the update. Your reef looks really great. &apls
It looks great! Well done.
The marina looks very realistic to me.
And I just noticed.. we use the same police car mod. ;D
Very nice, this is one of my favorite updates! :thumbsup: You did a marvelous job! &apls In the 4th pic, it's interesting how the residents all have their own dock. But I think those homes should be R$$$ instead of R$$ as it would fit the atmosphere. (Look in this topic (http://sc4devotion.com/forums/index.php?topic=8421.0) for a list of BATed R$$$) And in the pic with the end of the highway, I think there should be an exit just before it loops around, otherwise I don't think it's realistic and it would make transport easier. ;)
Actually there is just a bit down from the pic. It didn't fit the pic frame.

Wow! It was definitely worth reading every update since page one! This is by far my favorite MD so far. And it also has my now all-time favorite SC4 pic, the one that first shows the St. Anne, or whatever it's called. I really like the bays, harbors, islands and ports! As a newbie question, how do you make those straight islands and harbors? And where do you get your pots and boats? Also, as a bit of sel proclaimed Vexillologist myself, I have come up with a great idea for a new Atrubian flag. I'll PM it to you if you want to se it!

and by the way, where can I get in on this League of Nations stuff?
Well. First of all... You must have an MD. Then you submit it on our website (http://leagueofnations.freeforums.org/portal.php)....
And thats it!
Oh yeah! Almost forgot. The League members will take a vote to see if you are qualified. Its that simple.
Good work! President Aljakar is actually landing at another airport, but since I'm away from SC4 I won't be able to post pics of it until Tuesday.

yah you can do that on photo bucket. Its called beautify. :thumbsup:
Now there's a good idea! I think it looks pretty good, even for a first attempt. In the future, you could try using Photoshop's Polygonal Lasso tool to select only the areas where you want to have the blur effect, so you don't accidentally blur parts of the wings. (It helps if you zoom in really close first, so you have plenty of room for error.) Nice job!

Great updates! :thumbsup: &apls What did you use for the memorial building?
It looks nice. I can see it is not fully completed yet. Can't wait to see the final result!
For the underground mall, you can use some of PEGs lots.. also the sunken canal set might be a very nice addition to it. I believe both are from the utopia set, but not sure. might have to look that up for you. But I'm sure you know what I mean! :P
Now I think of it, how does it look when you replace your current canal with that set from PEG? Maybe it will ruin the 'theme' or 'look' you want for your park.. but perhaps it will look nice. ;)
Cheers! ;)
Looks great! The canal adds a nice touch
Nice work on that one! Is that in a seperate city?

Once again very sorry Dan about not using one of you flags for my nation...
S'alright. After all:
QuoteThe first quality of a flag (personal, regional, national etc...) is that it must please the people represented. It may look bizarre to place it first but what's the idea of a perfect flag if no one dares to support it?
In simpler terms, If you like the flag, it's good enough for everyone. And I've based many military and naval designs I've been working on upon my version... Perhaps it could represent the armed forces, with a few minor additions.
That would be cool! After all the people on the ground need one too right?
nice work I liked it :)

Awesome pics! And I've come up with an even better idea. I've made a flag for the military that more so resembles the other two, And you can use my national one as the flag of the capital city! By the way, how many cities are their?
below ground canal mall and perrissian buildings! Beautiful Combo.
Looks great. You did a good job with those sunken canals placing them in context with your marketplace.
I was actually only talking about the lots from PEG you used. Not about any other canal lot from PEG.. or am I wrong now? ;D
Anyway, I like it! :thumbsup:
Looking great as always! :thumbsup:
P.S. The mall looks a bit empty?
Nice work! :thumbsup: But I think you should add people props to these plazas, they look too empty. And the palms look like they're growing from the pavement ;)
io_bg: I am absolutely TERRIBLE at making people props on lots. I can try but I don't know... Also the plams will not been able to plop if not directly on pavement. Sorry!
EDIT: I need a project done. I simply don't have enough time to search all my plugins for people props; between parents, school, etc. Even if I do find it I want to make it look good (which I am not good at). So can anyone LOT a few lots with people groups on them? Thanks!
That was a fabulous update! &apls &apls
Alex, I think there is a prop which "spawns" people, type "randomwalk" in the search box and put the prop (it's actually an effect) somewhere in the middle of a plaza, run the game and you'll see people walking around ;) Hope this'll help you!
There's also a series of Maxis people props whose names begin with "Amill" - put that in the search box and you'll see them. They're the people props I use, and they look pretty good.

Nice job on the finished park! You did a great job.

Wonderful work! It was fun to see what you did with each lot. :)
Beautiful CJ, I love it all, and your re lots are awesome. Where is that pink round building from? 2nd to last pic.
I sure enjoyed it!
Nice work, Alex! ;)
Yet another phenomenal update from a great MD! :thumbsup: &apls :thumbsup: Could we have some more of the Rayin Twin Towers please?
@Kumba: I don't know what building that is, but you posted twice.
Wow absolutley magnificant! That modern townhall blends in nicely with you're city. &apls &apls
here's (http://www.simtropolis.com/stex/details.cfm?id=20531) the tower you asked for kumba
Everything looks great Driftmaster07! :)
I have but one suggestion; try putting a map and flag on the front page along with some stats. ;)
(I was wondering which version of the flag you were using and had to scroll through each page to find it)
Hey everyone,
I am thinking about POSSIBLY uploading a custom file or two to the STEX. But.... Is there ANY way how to figue out the dependancies?
Yep, there is - download SC4 Tool, install and run it. After that click on Dependencies scanner. Then choose the lot you want to scan and the dependencies will show ;)
The last update is excellent! I really liked that "small downtown area" $%Grinno$%
Keep up the good work!
Thanks! Where can I get it though? And more importantly... Does it run on Vista? Got it but I dont understand it. :( It says that it cant find all the files... ()sad() Instead I want someone who has experience in this thing here to find the files. Can someone do that possibly? They will be fetured in the new update as LOTs anyway. Can anyone help me please!?!?!?
Since SC4Tool was designed for Windows XP, it uses XP directory names for its file paths by default. You have to change these file paths manually if you want it to automatically locate your plugins. To do that, open the Options menu and click on Program. It will open up a box with three tabs at the top; the Paths tab should be selected when the box opens. This tab has two text boxes for the two SC4 file directories on your computer - the Program Files path is on top.
To change these paths, click on the Browse icon to the right of the text box and navigate to your Program Files and Documents/SimCity 4/Plugins folders. The text boxes might appear completely black (they do on my computer, which runs the 64-bit edition of Vista Home Premium). Don't worry about that if they do; the file paths may not be visible, but they're there.
After changing the paths, it's probably a good idea to click the Save icon in the top-left corner. The new paths will take effect after you restart SC4Tool. If you need any more information, I recommend looking in the SC4Tool section (http://sc4devotion.com/forums/index.php?board=17.0) of the forums (they're especially helpful in telling you what compatibility settings you need to run SC4Tool under on Vista).
That helped a lot but how do I get the dependancy links???
For those, I just search the LEX and STEX until I find them. It's tedious, but I'm not aware of any way to find the links within SC4Tool.
Oh... Well! There goes Labor Day! :D I'm find the dependancies now and locating them on the internet. May see a public release tomorrow edit: uh it is tomorrow so we may see a release later today. I'm not sure.
Going along very nicely, Alex. Very nicely indeed.
What a very good MD, I like your downtown look.

And you made me rally happy with the airport warehouse pack. But because I am more into seaport building I hope that you will not mind that I relot them into seaport warehouse lots.
So I have a question: what will happen if I do not use the automata download? I'd really not use that because of plugin directory size and the fact that I really don't care about the quality of the automata.
Thanks for the hard work you put into them! :thumbsup:

Technically an anniversary celebrates a whole number of years (it's derived from the Latin word for year, annum), but I suppose tomorrow is a kind of quarter-anniversary - or, to use a word of my own invention, a third mensiversary (using the Latin for month, mensis, to signify a whole number of months). So happy third mensiversary, Atrubia!
Nice Job and I still say I love those low rise condos!
Congratulations on the first Quarter year of Atrubia, Lovely pictures.
Congratulations on your first custom content releases as well.
Congratulations Alex! :thumbsup:
40 updates.. that's a lot! ;)
Another great update! You're developing a great diversity of custom lots!
Very nice! Those condos in your last picture are fantastic! &apls
And very nice work on that seaport lot. Looks quite realisitc. :thumbsup:
Even though not the Meniversiary yet (later tonight) here is a thankyou... The fireworks were made by our good friend Woodb3kmaster.

Yeah thats right. We are once again getting back to the first Atrubian cities. A lot of custom content has been collected by me and needs to be implemented into my old cities. The airport has 5 terminals and is a little bit bigger than Riyadh Intl. Terminal 1:

Now you may not consider it a terminal but it is just as big as the others.
The airport has two main runways with room to be upgraded to RMIP LAE Vol. 3. There will also be room for an additional taxiiway in the middle.

Noticed a curious thing.. wondered if you know why.. on your "seaport" shot the cranes make proper shadows at all points except on the texture along the seafront..
Always nice to see a good airport! Looking fine.
Edit: Jetissonned unneccessary luggage.
I definitely enjoyed this update, I'm a real sucker for airports, and this one is looking extremely good!!! &apls &apls

After having seen this I am even more certain that I will try to leave airports alone. I have no idea how they work, what objects are to be found on and around the terminals etc.....
I'll leave that part of SC4 to you. Let me just use the upgradeable standard BSC airports.

Ends by next update over weekend.
The grass looks awesome on a region overview.
although, I just thought about it; airports in the desert usually don't have grass, but sand. ()stsfd()
edit; and incase you are going to start a new city, try and see how a midrise city, surrounded by low rise buildings would look? ::)
you have a truly unique region here. :thumbsup: i can see you spend a lot of time on recreating the 'artificial' terraforming. great work! i also like your detailed use of trees and shrubbery. do you have any details on what content you've used for those (particularly the light green small bushy ones that create nice continuous barriers)? i'm also interested in getting hold of some of the content you've used for the oil refineries in Ah Mahid port and Abid Rayin Air Force Base. they look great. i want to recreate something like Coryton's oil refinery in South Essex for my Tendring region so they would be very useful. :)
overall, lots of attention to detail and often used to good effect.
the close-up residential shots of Riyadh Heights look very nice. another question: right at the start of Update 23, you have tons of diagonal buildings laid out with continuous and fluid plaza textures and such. how was this created? what BATs are being used there, and are each of those diagonal building clusters made as one large Lot, or did you put it together from individual buildings?
your airports are well laid-out too. i really like the shots of them form your latest updates. what exactly are you using for that green grassy stuff around the airports? it looks like a flora being used to me... anyway, do you have a linkie for that one too?
Indeed, your region is growing fast!!! :thumbsup:
Great job!!!
Great airport aria! you just need to fill in those big spaces now.

tr0ub1es0me: The bushes are by Jeronij on the LEX (http://sc4devotion.com/csxlex/lex_filedesc.php?lotGET=921) and the grass is in the same pack. Try searching oil on the STEX. That is where I got them. The diagonals are individual buildings by Somy. (http://members3.jcom.home.ne.jp/somy000/) Just search his site for a minute or so and you will find them.

Nice industriel port there!
Hi Driftmaster, FrankU here,
I have some information in relation to your packs, and also some criticism.
1. The warehouse pack. On the STEX you gave the dependencies. The files PEG-CDK3_PropPack_Vehicles_01.dat and PEG-CDK3_Rec-Boats_RESOURCE_101.dat, however are superceded by the PEG-CDK3_SUPER-PAK_RESOURCE.dat. Maybe you should change that in the readme? Especially because you name this file also as a dependecy for your other packs.
2. The Automata file (1960s New Instance Automata) as a dependency while there is only one prop used in one of the lots? I think you should edit the lot and leave this dependency out.
3. I think your lots would be more versatile if you took advantage of the prop-families that are availabel by Cogeo, JeStarr etc.
4. The seaport container lots: I think you make the containerterminal too small. Usually there is a lot of container storage area behind the cranes. I think that in real life you will find the distribution warehouses behind these storage areas. For that function I alread have PEG's, Tag_one's and Soulchaser's cranes and container lots.
Your warehouses are really usefull to complement that! They are full of beautiful detail.
5. Placing these files into the Seaport menu:
I always use LEprop.
- Open the file in LEProp.
- In the menu you will find eight blue squares in the right corner of the screen. Click on the lowest one to the right. It shows something like a hammer and a triangle.
- The next screen shows a menu where you can edit the occupant group.
- click on "advanced", otherwise it will not work.
- remove all entries concerning "building" by clicking an entry on the right screen and then clicking the arrow pointing left. I usually remove all entries.
- in the left screen: click on the plus sign next to "main buildings".
- Click on 0x1519 = building:water transit
- Click on the arrow pointing right. Now this entry is visible in the right menu.
- Save and exit.
The file should now appear in the water transit menu.
For organisation sake: maybe you should also give your lots an Item order number. That should be done in the Reader. You can use one number for all lots: the cheapest one will appear uppermost.
Cheers and thanks for the beautiful work! &apls

A short history on the Atrubian Mountains...
The mountains here were discoved on a small convoy expedition to Atrubia during the Gulf War. The convoy expedition was almost destroyed by a freak landslide. A short while later the convoy drove over it, as seen by this aerial shot.

They later entered Kuwait after their nerve-wracking expedition over Saudi Arabia and Atrubia.
And that ends the brief history! Hope you all liked it!
ouch that must have hurt! $%Grinno$%
The terraforming is very realistic! The landslide remains look excellent too, though I would like to see more sand/brownish texture in those rocks. :)
I am baseing these on Jargeahs Mountains (Jargeah is in the same region and area as Atrubia). They are low mountains. Although there will be rocks. ;)
Hi, nice work with the mountains. It's realistic.
Your mountains are looking good, and nice terraforming :thumbsup:!

yeahh it's great ! :thumbsup:
Hi Alex.
You have been doing some fine work here, both with the region building and LE work.
All looks good, although the one thing that caught my eye was the use of the concrete blocks with the port. Looks a bit dangerous to me :)
Keep up the great work
Dave
Lovely lovely lovely :thumbsup:
Very lovely! By the way where did you get that oil refinery stuff?
On the STEX. I cant give you a link because Im banned though.
Great! &apls
I think the seaport is a bit of clean.
Nice night pics of the refinery and CBD! This is the second really well-made oil refinery I've seen on here lately. Excellent job! :thumbsup:
Hey everone! Please dont vote in the poll. As of now it is closed, but I can't remove it. I am in the process of getting it removed. Thanks!
Nice update, good job!
Nice update. I love your office buildings, those look great.
Great update. Your ports look great. Just the concrete blocks aren't really well placed there. (looks like tooheys already pointed this out though). But otherwise, looks great!
I know (everyone) that they are not supposed to be there. I am trying to figure out a way to replace them. Only problem is that I dont know with what.

Really nice update, but I think it's rather weird that in the neighbourhoods and so, the trees aren't palm trees like you'd expect they would be.
Otherwise great work, keep it up! :thumbsup:

If a Middle Eastern CJ.... Then why all American/Euro style buildings? ()what() I love this CJ and all, but you should try to downloading buildings that fit into that certian style you're doing. &idea But its your choice and you decide for yourself what you want. I don't mind low and middle density reptition that much anyways.. :-\ It looks better in my point of view. :satisfied: But overall, I can give this a 4.5/5 since not all CJs are perfect. ;D
Anyways... Where did you get that terriain mod and water mod? Perhaps trees too? But I don't want to have a long loading time though. &ops
You've made a few very cool updates recently. I like the variety of buildings in your latest update!
Great sollar power plants! You're new movment of increased rail is a great idea it will bring less congestion to the roads and more ease to commuters.
Congratulations for getting your MD into the OSITM!

This is certainly a MD to watch!
I like the Hotel district... but the towers on the hill look, in my opinion, a bit out of place.
Great job anyway.
Congratulations, well deserved!
Congrats! I've been lurking around this CJ or MD or whatever you call it. And I must say, this is a wonderful work you've accomplished since the first update. In fact, your first update is entirely better than my work for Middle Eastern cities put together since I never got the style down just right unlike you. I wish I knew how to make transitions of small villages to metropolises and such.
Just on a side note, where did you get those oil refineries and pipes?
Wow. And all this time you were complimenting my region! It should have been the other way around! I've skimmed through all 22 pages, and I have to say that you've done an awesome job showcasing the growth of your desert region and showing off your gameplay skills. &apls You've definitely deserve being part of this month's special interest mayor diaries.

I think the mall looks pretty good. Only not so sure about that square with trees and lights.. ::)

(On a small note, if you know how to use the BAT, you should BAT your own piers and all that junk. Probely, it would look better. But. your choice.)
If you want a more Middle Eastern mansions. You could use Frogface's or prepo's houses on the STEX. Just a suggestion is all.

The airport terminals do a fine job of filling in that non-existent custom content niche of modular shopping centers :thumbsup:

Hey Alex. Well done, once again. I agree that you well and truly deserve this OSITM. You've dared to play your totally own way - which can be, and is, as exciting as a dedicated recreation, both ends of the spectrum are exciting.
Your pictures are great, but I would like to critique one of them. $%#Ninj2

Anyway, you're doing great! Keep it up.
Hey Alex, congrats on your award, really deserved.
I love your city, I'm a real admiror of your work.
I've always wanted to plop some boat docks right outside some res zones on islands and shorelines like the ones you have on several islands but never found something like that. I've read you got them from Pegasus but I can't seem to find them, I have installed the OWW2 Resource Pack 1 but still can't find it, would you mind telling me where or how can I find it so I can plop it on my islands pls?

I have tried to implement a "Round Terminal" concept to my airports and I think they turned out well.

There is also a new Airport Hotel in the middle of the main terminal.

Lotus airlines has bought their own terminal here at the airport. However theirs also handles Intl. flights. So about 4 tiles from the actual entrance to the terminal there is Atrubian Customs.

A little ways down there is a viewing food court. This is used, while waiting for your flight, to be entertained and watch planes land.

Only one terminal partially survived. The old Soviet-Era terminal building. It was taken apart and rebuilt during construction. It is now one of the most modern terminals in the world. This was kept so that people would have a link to Atrubia's past when coming here.

Nice airport! So let me get this straight, this region copies the western countries such as United States of America, Canada, etc. Anyways, it could use more middle eastern styles than a western style which I did before which completely ruined my middle eastern cities. So, you could at-least try to keep its "heritage" or something.
I just one request, where can I get some mansions, suburban housings, etc. so my M.E. cities would'nt look like the future or something.
Wait, is that a concorde! Wow, haven't seen those in a while, I thought they were decommisioned :P
Nice airport my friend, although I find that hotel in the middle of the terminal a bit off.
But that aside, great update! &apls
Keep'm coming!
-Stijn-
I'll settle for a beachhouse, don't want to go overboard. :)
The airport is looking great and it's good to see your custom lots in there too :thumbsup:
From a passenger viewpoint, the hotel in the middle of the terminal certainly is a great idea. From a safety viewpoint, well it just depends on how close the building is to the runways. I guess that is a subtle hint for an overview shot ;)
Nice work Alex (and good to see the Concorde making an appearance)
Dave
Looking good! :thumbsup: I really like that new terminal!

I like your airport, but as tooheys pointed out, the hotel in the middle isn't very safe :D

And the front page desription was updated. Why don't you check it out?
@ first picture with all those clouds; Yes it indeed does. Leave the region open for a while, and it start to appear.
@ region overview:
looking nice!
The clouds take over the region view when you leave the game inactive for a while (and especially when the game is minimized as well). Well, at least the clouds haven't spoiled the Region Census view. ;D

Evillions: Yep. Although I tink the buildings are really not my style. Try using frogface's on the STEX.
Stijn (BarbarossaS): Here we go again! Lol. Atrubia has its own purposes. ;) The hotel is quite far from the runway so it is not in any danger.

Hey driftmaster,i started to read your MD,and man,youre a great LOTer!And nice Region you have there.Just a question:
Where can i found that huge soccer stadium and the staplers center?
Luke: Both the soccer stadium and the Staples Center are available at dmscopio's website (http://www.davidluart.com/download.php). I recommend relotting the Staples Center, however, as the lot it comes with isn't that great.
Alex: Atrubia City looks great, but where are all the people? A heaping helping of people props (i.e. the ones whose names begin with "Amill") would really make your custom lots come alive and make this MD even better than it already is. Nevertheless, keep up the great work!
Great looking update. I love the Capitol and the night pics! :thumbsup:
As some have pointed out already, you've got some skill with the LE.
Keep up the good work!

Alex, the capital is looking good. Some nice LE work which we are used to from you, although I agree that a few people and cars would liven things up a bit (although if I understand you right, you are having some PC issues at the moment).

The base has three drydocks. All of which are being used, frankly IMHO they should be timed differently than each other to make it look better.

Fantastic work on that port. I would love to see the water a little bit dirty. Try using this by jeronij, JRJ Rural Culverts And Water Effect (http://sc4devotion.com/csxlex/lex_filedesc.php?lotGET=125) and see if you like it. Inside this download there should be a dirty water effect.

great work on the port driftmaster,and my favorite pic was the oil silos!Where can i found the dry docks and the ship of the first picture?
They are both part of the SNM series on the LEX.
Wow you have a very well built military. What do you plan to do with it?
For now we are still building it up. Our military consists of about 10000 men/women, and we do not do anything like the draft. For now though we are using it for defense of our country and to stop many illegal immigrants form both Saudi Arabia and Kuwait. There may be many at checkpoints into Atrubia but they are sparse everywhere else.
I've missed commenting a fantastic series of updates here! Your most recent industrial developments are excellent, I particularly like the drydocks, they're an excellent touch. I also like that preview border shot there, looks pretty seriously fortified! Keep up the great work here, I'm looking forward to more!
Fantastic!

Over the week Atrubia hosted an expo for ships. It started last Wednesday and ended today (Sunday).
Day One: Leaders Arrive, Opening Ceremony, Atrubian Showcase
This is copied direcctly from the website (so some of you this may be a bit of a repeat).
This morning the League Leaders and national representatives, John Wolkenland(head of the embassy of Shienar), King Peter III (of Isporos), Judith Bayley (deputy Mayor of the Thames District), and I have still not recieved a PM back from Wood so I am assuming King Zachary will be attending, landed at Riyadh International Airport at around 8 AM this morning. Atrubian President Abijad Aljakar sent a private jet to each patron.

Day One: Leaders arrive, Opening Ceremonies, and Atrubian Showcase.
The Leaders then met with Abijad for over two hours of entertaining at the runway observaion room (privately rented for this occasion). Then they all went on privately owned Bombardier CRJ's to Islandia National airport. Where they proceded to land and were driven to the expo.

The day then proceded with the opening ceremony as the President spoke to open the ceremony, at the newest Atrubian Embassy.* The Leaders then went on a tour of each boat and ate lunch on the oldest ship in Atrubia, the H.M.S. Arthur Vandelay.**

There are some "finger-like" terminals here in the airports which serve CRJ's.

And congratulations on another amazing airport from Artubia. I also can't believe that you managed to fit in all that watercraft.
Nice airport you have here.I will make a request now ok?Can you show an overview of this citytile(the airport's one)?
WOW! Unbelievable! :o
Excellent updates Alex. I have a feeling, that Atrubia might be getting its own regional airline, sometime oh so soon. I expect to have a little present for you in a few days time.
Those warehouse lots are very nice as well, but I think they look a little bit too 'busy'. Maybe with about two thirds the number of truck and car props? I don't know, they're very nice anyway.
Wow, 2 extensive updates. I love your port and the international airport, great work! &apls &apls
One question though: how do you get to the island? I can't see a bridge or anything, is the transportation underground?
-Stijn-
That airport is.. well.. one of the best I've ever seen, to be honest. ;)

Is the transportation underground?
Yes. It utilizes the NAM FLUPs to get from teminal to terminal. But, it is, unfortunately, non-functional.
Fantastic pair of updates! Everything looks so great, it's hard to choose something to highlight! I'll just have to say that everything looks superb!
Congratulations on your promotion to Classics, you've certainly earned it with the high quality of work you've put into this project. &apls
Keep up the amazing work, I'm looking forward to seeing what else you've got in the works here!
One of the most impressive airports I've ever seen. Bravo! &apls
Wow, awesome update. :o
Your airport is simply amazing and really realistic !
And congratulation for your entrance in the Classic. &apls
DO you have any RCI buildings that you can recommend that should use for my Middle Eastern cities?
Anyways, that airport looks better than I can do.
That first picture has its perspective changed a little right? Also, I think I've got new things to put on my to-get list (those warehouses)! ;)
Sorry everyone. My bandwidth limit has exceeded on photobucket right now. I am trying to fix this. Thx.
Driftmaster07
Good. :) I just noticed my signature is also on your photobucket account.. Since that one doesn't show up either :P
Good luck!
Cheers
Lol. Sorry bout that. :D I will probably make a new account till my old one is fixed.
This is why I upload images to multiple sites. Good luck with getting your images back.
If I upgrade to pro, than I will get them back. I just don't have the money right now. Maybe I can convince parents...
Otherwish you need to wait till the end of the month, correct?
Btw; The possitive thing is that this means lots of people have been watching your pictures. ;D
Lol. I guess. Edit: Getting a pro account everyone. Expect my pics to be back up soon. :) Edit 2: Oh yes, and Glowbal, that means your sig pics up again too! :D
Hi Driftmaster07, I love your cities and md :thumbsup:, but there's a problem ()what(), I don't see the pictures but a banner of photobucket that says to upgrade to Pro!! >:( and not only on you but even on others that use this site. :angrymore:
Yes, I am well aware of that. ;) I am getting a pro account very soon and I hope to have the pics restored by Friday. Now you said there were others... How many? If just one than that means they are in the same problem.
Pics fully restored. Enjoy!
Nice to see the pictures back! :thumbsup: Anyways, where do you get that reefs and all that coastal stuff you have?
Well, I'm not exactly 100% sure on the reefs and stuff but I know: the reefs (and palms) are by Goldiva on the STEX, the tree props and models (some) are by Jeronij on the LEX, some smaller palms are by PEG and his Mayor mode stuff, and the underwater flora is on the STEX I think, it is by gizmo. Hope that helps. The only trees that I find suitable for the desert theme are by Jeronij.

Here is a first look at the waterfront...

But it really sucks when it rains. ;) :D ::) $%Grinno$% Can't you tell I love smileys?
For the waterfront to fit architecterally, the roadbed had to be pushed back 75 ft. Where the intersection is, is where the old road used to continue on.
(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi587.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fss315%2FDriftmaster07%2FAbidJakartin-Oct51711257630332-1.jpg&hash=8a2e6b9623ebc6e68f1d664a5cfef5c5542da618)
Buildings that were once part of a smaller access road now get avenue-front property. This made the land value of the lots shoot up. A bonus was the waterfront right across the street as well. But a downside was more traffic.

I also redesigned the, once-crappy, design of the neighborhods to the right of the old airport. It was VERY congested and just did not look right with many repeating buildings. Here is a shot of the new neighborhood. Along with a new DL I found last week.

Splendid update. &apls
The plaza in the pic 1 and 2 is beautiful.
Excellent work.
Great waterfront! You did a good job. Btw how big is your plugins folder?
My plugins is taking up about 4.41 GB of space.
My village was posted in the competition. Enjoy!
Fantastic! Love that mall, it's a great idea and a risk worth taking in a dry region like Atrubia! I like that new development in the 5th picture, it fits right in. Looking forward to seeing what you've got coming next.
I was preparing the new update and I decided to save the game and exit. Anyways, I had problems, as in the game froze up while saving, and I "X"ed it out. I went back up in game literally just a few minutes ago and this happend. Please help! (see attachment below) I don't care wheter I get the same city back. I just want the tile back (and possibly blank, I don't care). Please reply no matter who you are! Additional info: I found the city in my regions folder but it doesn't show up in game. Could it be corrupt?
Fixed. But without totally losing the city.
Great news! I've had similar oddities upon saving quads, but I was always able to re-enter the quad without quitting the game. It may look weird on the region view, but once you open the quad up again, everything turns out to be just fine, even if you lost what you had built in your previous playing session. Is that more or less what happened to you?
Phew, it's not like my old city, my first MD (not in this forums). It totaly gone.
I'm looking forward for new update of Atrubia.

No. The city was completely lost and corrupted (I assume thats why I couldn't re-enter under any circumstances).
Didn't you say that you fixed it? ()what()
No the city will never be recovered. But I did fix the big hole in the region view. So essentially it is 1/2 fixed I guess. Also, I started re-building the city tile and I have to say it looks better than the last one.
Dang! It's nearly like my old city. Not like I think it's not corupt.
You mind showing us a preview of what you have? Not like a update but as a work in progress type of thing.
I will soon. I just have to restart it all. Last night I started putting the city back together. Today, work resumes on the islands.

Now that's what we've been waiting for! It certainly did not disappoint. ;D
love it! I really like the rising shipping lane section of the bridge and the night shots. I also like the custom seaport area with large open spaces and container storage. I assume you made that?
Nice work.

Yes.
Most of it is on the STEX. I am trying to upload more but it takes sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo long to upload on item that it doesn't upload at all. &mmm The file it only like 100kb.
Great update! I like the touch of creating the artificial islands, they look great so far. That's quite the stadium as well!
Fantastic Update driftmaster07. &apls
The pic 1 and 2 are really nice (the stadium is splendid and it's dmscopio's stadium, no ?)
The new highway it's splendid, I really like this picture.
The port is so awesome and realistic, bravo, and the marina is pretty.
I really like this island, particularly the 13th and 14 th pictures.( Where do you have found this acces ramp for boat?)
Finaly, the night pics are just :o.
Fantastic update!

2. ( Where do you have found this acces ramp for boat?)
1. Yes, it is. It is the FNB (Soccer City) Stadium. Only availiable on his (http://www.davidluart.com/download.php) website. I modified the lot to have a different base texture than the original so it matches up with my other plaza lots.
2. You can find it on this (http://sc4devotion.com/forums/index.php?topic=7844.0) thread. Just scroll down the page until you reach a Post by Chrisadams3997. It should be the 18th. There is an attachment. Enjoy!
Atrubian Connection Project
This project would:
- Connect
all cities of Atrubia via RES/COM development.
- Make said above in an visually pleasing way.
- Finally, create over 200K new residents & 400K new jobs.
So what do you think? A poll has been added and, well, yeah.
i like the idea! however, I would begin the project in stages, like slowly completing it. THat would be much more realistic then just plopping tons of new residents.
That's what I would do. I think I forgot to mention. First some of the closer cities then the farther ones away. Riya Ahvegas will get a population explosion soon. Lol.
Love the little islands and the night shots are great! &apls I'm all for the connection project too. :thumbsup:
A presidential retreat with some upgraded security, :) the islands look very nice.
Projects??...I am all for big projects
I do like the Idea of this project! :D I think this order would be a good way of doing it :thumbsup::
Step 1: Prepare terrain and plan out highways.
Step 2: Start to build the Highways.
Step 3: Lay out Shopping Malls and Retail Parks for new RES Zones near the Highway
Step 4: Lay out Low Density RES Near the COM and the project is done!
Ryan
Step 1 and 2 are actually done. Step 3 and 4 though are good ideas.
Hey everyone. Its wednesday now and I thought you all would like some progress on what I've been up to. It will take some time before any significant progress will be shown on the Connection project, but I thought I would show you all some progress.
An overview of the area I will be highlighting in this preview...

That was just a small sample. There are others. But I will not just be doing Goober's lots. Some others I will be doing are parking lots, like this.

Obviously, the same lot as before. But those are the next I will be tackling. So, whaddaya think? Btw, I will also be entering some of these lots in the Village Comp. So be on the lookout!
Good preview. That grouping of retail is quite nice. Good match of textures and the parking lot finishes it off. :thumbsup:
Those are some very good lots, Alex! The palm trees are a nice touch. What planters are they in (i.e. the prop name)?
Thanks. :) The prop name, I am not sure of at this moment. But, they are by Simgoober. It is like SG_planter_Herb or someting. I will find it out this afternoon once I get home from school.
The exact name: SG_Flora_HerbsSm08 --- ####

Nice! ;D You know what would make a true desert village? Just use Frogface's MEB BATs which when you open them in the lot editor, they are props. So you can make a village out of those parks and other junk! Note, you may want to 5x5, 4x5, 5x4 to grow Frogface's MEB BATs.
Well, that may be so, but I am trying to make a different MD from the others. Edit: Btw everyone. If there is not an update tonight, than don't expect one till Tuesday. There is a lot going on this weekend.
Love the parking stroke
Nice parking and excellent wokr at the lot.
This parking lot is coming along nicely!
Great job on the Simgoober buildings and the Parking lot! I think you should release them some time.

There is a rail system that keeps the base stocked with fresh fuel and since an oil port is nearby... Well I think you get why it is transported by rail.

Before you all start asking for an overview, I am in the process of getting one ASAP. I just need to finish the surrounding area.
Some of you may be wondering, why an Air Force Base? I thought some new LE projects and the expansion project? Believe me, they are chugging along. I just need some more progress done before anything can be shown. And, something has happend in Atrubia that also called for an Air Force Base. From the local newspaper a few days ago:
Atrubia Hit with Series of Terrorism Attacks. More on the way?
Atrubia City - Over the past 5 days, Atrubia has been hit with three terrorism attacks in 3 different airports. At Abid Jakartin (Intl.), Islandia (Natl.), and Riyadh (Intl.). The ones at Jakartin and Riyadh were stopped at security, thank god, but the third was actually a hi-jacking of an American Airlines 757. The passngers reacted brashly and eventually re-took control of the plane. In the ordeal 5 passengers died while reacting soonly after the plane was taken over. The pilot and co-pilot were also murdered. The plane was hi-jacked while the pliot and co-pilot were being handed their lunches. The plane landed safely in the Atrubian Salt Flats. On an unrelated note, where the newest land-speed record will soon take place.
Anyways, the plane landed safely and the 7 dead were properly buried. The terrorists (four) took over the aircraft with hand-crafted sharp plasic made knives. Not the utensils but actual things they made themselves. As a pre-caution the president has been moved to a undisclosed locale. As a warning to league members, please be extra careful at security.

Lol. Looks like a typing eror. :D :-[
Anyone else want to comment?
Oh man... does your life depend on replies? Does it really matter if you get 12 or 13 replies with that Update?
It starts to get annoying for me, really (just my opinion) - from 20 replies per page, approximately 7 - 8 are made by you.
As I've already said here, your work always looks quite fantastic and with that said, you definitively don't need to keep your MD up with post like that. The replies will come, I'm sure.
Nevertheless, I have to say that the work you have shown here so far is pretty good :thumbsup:,
Fabian
I'm forced to agree with Fabian. I was almost determined not to comment, on account of you specifically asking for them, but then you would never have known that I was annoyed by it, so I was quite torn. Your MD is in the Classics department, you don't need to worry about how many comments are on it. Sometimes I wonder if the criteria for advancing an MD into the next section should be based on the number of comments minus the number of comments by the author.
Anyway, enough of that.
Your Air Force Base was quite nice, but some of the lots made by yourself with nothing but planes on were rather bland in my opinion. You could have placed centre lines, to guide the planes to their designated parking areas, or some cones around the planes. People props would really make it come alive.
I concur with what has been said...
It is my opinion that people will comment when they see something out of the ordinary, something like or something they don't. Again, in my opinion, a stagnant MD is a Mediocre MD yours isn't stagnant! so why are you pushing for comments? It's almost narcissism.
...heh... something else I've noticed, you posted half of the four replies since the update.
Now, I've finished my rant.
As Joel said, tarmac markings are missing and the base does look a bit dead.
Well, I wasn't implying. I don't make you have a comment. Frankly, I don't care. Well maybe a tiny bit. I was just wondering what you (the general public) thought of it. Sorry if I sounded pushy (and a bit reply-crazy). &ops
I also agree with the other people said earlier. You could use the taxi lots or textures and just place that airplane prop and its completely real as to real life. ;) And the reply thing too, &mmm I just let the people comment for a about a week then I start to post my own comments as a mini reply section instead of typing it into the update. ()testing() If I didn't answer someone's question for a certian amount of time, I would also post back. &opr But nevertheless, good update! :)
Besides the points mentioned earlier, the Air Force base looks great! Some tarmac markings would only make it look even better. As for the whole replies thing, let me direct your attention to part of the MD section rules, Section III (Rules for Authors):
Quote7. Since advancement through the MD hierarchy is based on post-count, double posting should not be employed under any circumstances without a minimum of forty-eight (48) hours between posts. Failure to do so may result in the removal of any or all non-compliant posts. Also, please refrain from replying to comments on an individual basis as they are posted by readers, but use a "Replies Post" and answer them all at once, since individual replies are, though maybe not intended to be, tantamount to padding your post count for faster advancement. If a comment posted by a reader needs an immediate answer, send a PM.
Atrubia is a very successful MD, as its placement in the Classics section attests. You don't need to solicit replies from your readers - they will come on their own. All you have to do is wait for them. Just be patient!
The number of comment does not make the quality of MD driftmaster. People have no time to post a comments in every viste in your MD, but i'm sure what your MD is a excellent MD. :thumbsup:
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Your air Force Base is just splendid. &apls
I really like your work at the lot.
That new air force base is looking good!
And I don't mean to go on, but personally it's the views on an MD. If people keep checking your MD, even if they don't post, you've got 'em hooked :P( Which you've certainly done with me ;))
Ryan :thumbsup:
Whoa how did you get warthogs and B-52's!!! Also are those propellered fighters I see! ;D It always warms my heart to see those old planes being used. By the way are those prop planes A-1 Skyraiders? oops sorry no they're not even close they're trainers.
I am envious of your air force base! :P
That air force base really does look great! You've got a great mix of details in there, the fortified bunkers look great, and I really like some of the planes you've got in the last shot!

Heik, I should start BATing a module race course! But that's going to take long. :(
Nice track!I still think mine is better! :thumbsup:
The race track looks quite good indeed!
Whow!! I've followed your MD from top till bottom!Love your MD (sometimes I think what it would be like if I had a region like that!) Also over I went to egypt wich was very very dirty also there was a dead donkey in a canal! :P :'( Tip:There were a lot and I alot of Mosque's there..So far only saw two...oo Well not a problem
Also how about a heat wave or something tempature about 50 celcius (100 Fahrenheit?)
Happy thanksgiving!
Bye bye or as we say in dutch Doei en Tot ziens!
Nice dam, Grand prix track and I love the winding canals throughout the cities.
Really nice dam.
The Grand prix track is just splendid, great work. &apls
The course is completely safe with UDI with the snap to road feature on $%Grinno$%.
I think spillway is the correct term.
Nice idea with the track, your pit stop is a good addition to it.
Hey everyone. :) Glad you all liked the update and I am starting to get the region finally filled out (as in all terraformed). Here is a current region shot.

I don't have it and I am not the greatest at it). Well, think up a brainstorm! Lol. I will be back next week with an update. I believe you all had a good Thanksgiving, so a last (and final) Happy Thanksgiving!
Great teaser! You still need to fill in those spaces on the map though.
Impressive. Allthough I'm confused as to how your commercial population is double the residential. ()what()
Nice region view.
Hmm, a bit weird with the population, commercials are more than residents.
You might want to zone more residential than commerical. :D I would suggest using bixel's monster complexes to fill that "gap" that you have. ;)
Just splendid teaser. &apls

Very nice teaser, Driftmaster!

The terraforming is coming along nicely. Quite the region there! Also, that teaser looks great as well.

This is coming along nicely. I love that dam. Looks like it took a bit of complex terraforming to create. It can't be easy to work with that desert terrain, you're doing a great job!

Alex, all I can ask is for a park or plaza along the water where all the folks from SC4d can meet for a Xmas get together. With scenery like yours, I'm sure it would be a great evening.

Well, here is the article:
Terrorist Plot Leader Spotted, Takes Own Life After Intense 3 Hours
"Meriah City - You would not have wanted to be a passenger on Delta Airlines flight 594. Today at 18:43 the terrorism plot leader was found to be making a last, and bold, move to get out of the country. He was boarding a Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner when radioactive alerts went bezerk on the plane. These were shortly installed after the recent attacks to discourage terrorism via Nuclear Weapon. The man held the entire plane and its 209 (other, not including himself) passengers by threatening to set off the weapon, destroying Meriah City and Meriah City International Airport (this is the new city to be debuted in the next Atrubia update). He let the pilot/co-pilot and crew get out of the plane before sealing it up and demanding ransom for the passengers. The Atrubian SWAT personnel were brought out to try to negitiate with the single hi-jacker. He would not budge, demanding $10 million.
The SWAT Team arrived shortly after the hostage situation took place. Swarming the plane and immobilizing it, the man had no choice. With his 19MM pistol, he took his own life 3 hours after the situation started. All passengers were accounted for, but new flights were arranged. The plane was, and is, a crime scene as of the moment. The man was later identified as Heden Ganbok. A man on the FBI's top 10 most wanted list (USA). There is no doubt he was the leader. If he wasn't he knew he would have options if he let the passengers go. "The terrorist attacks are deemed to be over," said Atubian President Abijad Aljakar. The league may rest at peace."
I have been experimenting with "road under jetway" designs. Whaddaya think?

Excellent work on the road under jetway, and I'm glad the terrorist situation ended without the destruction of the airport. Very nice update Driftmaster.
Geoff
Fantastic work there, Alex! It's great to see a bit of a storyline emerging here :thumbsup:
I liked that Hijacking scene, though the tanks look a bit... out of place. Other than that little critism, it looks great... and that ACTC looks fantastic!
Havva good one,
Adrian.
Very cool update, lots of great shots! Interesting bit of story as well, glad everything came out ok.
That is a beautiful parking lot with the big fountains. And nice work on your launch of the space shuttle. Luckily no nuclear disaster in Atrubia this time.
How did you make those "road under jetways" stuff anyways? Besides the SC4 Tool for sure. :P
You do wayyyyyyy too good! Being that good should be illegal :P
Great update, fantastic work again!!! :thumbsup:
The last update look awesome!
As I said in the League of Nations version, there is something similar to road under jetway (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiki_Wiki_Shuttle) at Honolulu International. The bus route, the Wiki-Wiki Shuttle inspired the name of Wikipedia.
When waiting for the Wiki-Wiki Shuttle, there isn't a neat line. Imagine a bus stop with about 40 people trying to get on while carrying luggage. That could be helpful if you release the lot on the STEX or something.
I will do replies soon! I promise! By now, some of you anyway, know that I went on a cruise to the Bahamas. More specifically, Nassau and Cococay. But we skipped Cococay due to bad weather, oh well I guess! Anways here are some pics from my trip to Nassau on board the Majesty of The Seas!

Some of you may be thinking, "What are those tiny islands for?" Simple, they are SAM battlements (Suface-Air Missle) in case if an air attack on the port and Atrubia's largest city. We are in the mid east remember? Can't be too careful. ;)

Great job on your Christmas update. You should have jumped on the Christmas MD bandwagon and posted a snow picture. I'm not joking.
Looks great. :D Where did you get those cool beach chairs? :o
A snow shot? In the Middle East? &Thk/(
A wonderful update, Alex! I particularly like that Container Ship... Though, (it's probably just the model), it seems a bit bright.
Also, looks like Atrubian Presidential Transports are keeping up with the times... :D A fantastic Resort, how much for a weeks stay?
Havva good one,

you're resort is looking great! nice custom BAT,

Cool update :), where did you get that ship and Do you need a passport to go to the Bahamas?
I like the shape of the island, it's very creative! The building in the center also flows with the shape of the island nicely. Excellent job!

Happy New Year! I do believe that the Fly Illu'a 787 arrived on time. (League of Nations stuff)
You really should find out how to paint your presidential transport. Out of all the models you got from the Google 3D Warehouse, that stands out the most.

Hello Driftmaster! Great Resort! Great Airport! & Great control tower!
Sorry I didn't come by, I just came back from STL (St.Louis MO) yesterday, and I didn't have time because of X-mas and because my young cousins kept me busy... Still very tired on a 12 hour trip from STL - Dallas/fort worth -Londen Heathrow-Dusseldorf Germany... O Yeah :D On the Dallas-Londen flight, they seperated my mom dad and I, so we had to recheck-in,then we figured out that my dad and I went bussness class and my mom economy..,,,,, So while we were sleeping in comfterble seats.

My name has probably been wiped from your memory, but ah well. I should be glad I can resume activity after finding my (miraculously!) still working SC4 disc.
Atrubia is coming great, by far the greatest Sim City I've ever seen. Every aspect of it is pretty awesome, but for me, nothing beats all the Airports, Seaports, and Rail networks! :thumbsup:
I think some Dubai fans may find the resort somewhat familiar... ;)
Also, I have a suggestion. Every great world city has that one, huge, distincitiv tower that dominates the skyline. And is it just me, or does the name "Burj Atrubia" radiate win?
The water formations rather looks simple. However, that doesn't stop you in creating a great region, doesn't it? ;)
Don't worry if you can't update for a while, RL is more important.
Three very nice pictures, i'm very much looking forward to the next update.
These three pictures are really nice!
And looking forward to the next update on the end of this month... ;)

In a later update, we will take a closer look at this.
And yes, there was a bad thunderstorm in Atrubia over the weekend. It knocked out power in Meriah City suburbs and part of the city for two hours.

Great update, love the golf course!
Hey Everyone. I have decided to end Atrubia's days at the current map. I feel it is just too repetative in the way it looks. Always a straight coastline, etc. So, I have decided to DL a new map to work with. Atrubia will still be in this thread etc. Just new. Oh, and a poll has been added. The poll will end on Friday.
Alex
In my opinion it would be fantastic if Atrubia continue on a map of desert, so I voted yes! :thumbsup:
I'm glad you've decided to try out a more realistic shoreline, Alex. I think that will make Atrubia even better than it is now. I look forward to seeing the new map!
Seeing as it's in the Classics already, it's a bit late to change the theme, unless your hard drive blows up or something. You asked me about the map in MSN, and I say that map will work really well.
Hi Alex, you did a wonderful job with your first map and I'm sure Part 2 will be just as good. :thumbsup:
I haven't voted in your poll. It's your MD, you take us wherever you want. I'm sure you will have a great following no matter which direction you choose. There are plenty of succesful MD's that have changed direction midstream and others that changed every other update.
In my opinion, do what you want to do ;)
Goodluck
Dave

Update 59/1: Atrubia V2
History
As for its history, Atrubia was originally a primitive country up until its discovery of gold in the late 1500s via conquering European countries n Latin America, the population was decimated, and the country's people in complete and utter ruin. The Spanish gained control and built many euro buildings after killing the native peoples. Not much were left, in the mid 1800s the Americans won the Peninsula of Florida which included Atrubia, Atrubia, Officially the Royal Atrubian Empire, gained its independence from America on the 4th of March 1863, during the midst of the American Civil War. Most buildings in the capitol were destroyed by the Americans, but because the Atrubians were so different from the Americans, they remained independent. The Americans prepared it for self-independence and self-government.
At first, the country did well for itself, but fell to ruin in 1868. President Frentia Aldorshia, the second president left the country in economic and physical ruin. Not to mention he started a small war. The country was once again decimated. The country thrived itself solely on the river that became a symbol of life. Life circulated around it and the capitol was formed again. The oldest buildings in the country are here. The town was soon growing. By 1922, the city was becoming large with a population of approximately 85,000. The country had a population had a population of around 100,000.
In the sixties Atrubia came into gold found by the country's miners. The president decided to diversify the economy for tourism and anything they could produce. Atrubia City is the center for economic trade and prosperity it was meant to be, it may have taken near 500 years, but it is well worth it.

I was gonna say the same thing. Still very nice, looking forward to this.
Oh, the middle eastern homes are such an improvement. The american style homes I think can still be okay on the artificial islands, along with some other high wealth homes. One suggestion I have would be to install the Euro textures mod. American textures really don't seem to suit Atrubia well.
Ethan
Very good job on creating those neighborhoods. They really look terrific. I like the highrise buildings you've selected too.
Excellent work, Alex! How very Middle Eastern ;)
I particularly like that Mosque and the Oil Port... Well done :)

Great looking update! Those new residences really change the character of your region! I quite like them!
Well, if you are going for the Middle East feel, you have certainly succeeded with those FF BATs. Very nicely done, and your beaches look great!
Awesome update there the middle eastern BATs by frogface really add to the realism

-------------- Airports --------------
TMIA
Atrubia has a vast number of airports. Ranging from small-town, to full blown international travel. The first, of two, we will look at is TMIA (Temporary Meriah International Airport). Originally MIA, it needed to be changed because of conflictions with Miami International Airport. A new one is currently being built, but has been put aside for AC and SCAG team releases. Once done with the new airport, this will be dismantled and turned into a luxury resort. Take a look at TMIA.

Based after a Carribean Airport, there is a beach lining the shoreline of Atrubia Bay (one of the largest bays in the world), but rock walls lining the ocean.

-------------- Life --------------
I call this segment "Life" because it shows the conditions of the cities and other areas. The cities are clean and, most of all, safe. The "other areas" not so much. They are, indeed, nice to look at but a probem for them is cleanliness. It is hard to see, but Atrubia produces A LOT of garbage and pollution. Oil factories constantly line the skies with smoke and pollution. Although none are shown in this expo, Atrubia will be more developed by the nest and it will show much more.
Yusef Amir Archipelago
The archipelago was formed years ago by who-knows-what and was inhabited 500 years ago. The native orginally spoke of a "mountain of flame" but no records of any volcanic activity have been found. Take a look for yourself, although most development was shown in the airports segment.
Protecting the island, this ship is the most advanced of the Atrubian Naval Fleet.

Fantastic update! Great detailing throughout, but the footing of the bridge is particularly well done as is that little island!
Very nice, I love the airports. Also, which bridge is that? I don't think I have seen it before.
Wasn't spring break a month ago? Maybe that's just the schedule here. All I know was all the college kids were out of town and it was strangely peaceful... :D
I really like the way the nation has been turning out, Alex. It certainly has a desert feel that you can't get at any other MD's nowadays...

9AM NEWS
ATRUBIAN WATERS - Miles offshore, a boat went up in flames as the president Abijad Aljakar was on vacation. His boat was out for a fishing trip when, supposedly, an electrical fire started. It took hours for rescue teams to to even reach the boat, as the chain of islands were desolate and hundreds of miles offshore. The team pulled 15 bodies from the boat. Sixteen were present at the time of the fire. None of the bodies were identified as Abijad Aljakar. As in the Atrubian presidency, "If the president is missing, formally hands over the presidency, or deceased, the new president is the vice president." The president is already missing/deceased so the presidency is temporarily/permantly handed over to Kandhan Janhar.
Pictures of the accident will not yet be released. The terrain is unmarked but densly forested. Its is unlikely that, if alive, the president will not go far into the forested area. The islands are known as "Yehn Darfuk," which no one quite understands. But, other than a small town, the presidential vacation home is the only thing on the islands. There is a navy vessel at the islands but it was away this particular month for repairs after running aground. More details will be released once this story develops. At a press conference President Kandhan Janhar said breifly:
"Abijad is a stong man and can survive. He has been through much in his life. As your new president, I am doing much to find him. Navy has been dispatched to the area, and a Coast Guard Cutter is on its way. The Army has 100 men stationed across the island and 100 more are arriving for the search. We will find him. And he will be alive. We do not know if this is a terrorist attack on his personal craft, or a simple mishap, more likely the second than the first. As a result, the Boat Show has been postponed, to which he was going to open. I will now accept questions from the press."
Alex
First Poland, now Atrubia?! The SimWorld will be coming to an end!
Two tragedies in a day. Hopefully the President will be recovered alive and everything will end on a positive note.
Ethan
Well actually first it was the UAE Shiekh, the younger brother of President Khalifa Al Nahyan in Morocco, then the Polish President, and now Atrubian President!!

Thankyou everyone! I've already answered the questions but my computer froze. I don't have enough time oday to answer them again. Sorry, please PM me if you still have questions.
Hey everyone. On Wednesday, April 14th, 2010 this happend.
ATRUBIAN WATERS - After five days in the wilderness, the president was recovered alive after spening 5 days on a deserted island. He was dehydrated and was days from most likely dying out there. His "camp" was maeshift and further away from the search area than believed. He set up camp in a feild near the ocean and lit fires at night. In a press conference he said:
"I will make this short. I'm very greatful for our military to be so well trained in this dire emergency. They handled it very well and I am so grateful for all these cndolences and concerns. Also the vice president Kandhan Janhar has done a fine job as temporary, err, I mean, permanent president. Yes, I am resigning. I am becoming to old for this type of thing. Therefore, I am giving the presidency over to Kandhan and my vacation home as well. He will be inaugurated on Saturday. I would like to invite all of AIN to this event. (there will be no pics, but oh well). I'm now going to go home and be with my family. Conference dismissed." *Kandhan stunned*
Anyways, Kandhan is the new president. And I will not be showing Atrubia for the next 20 updates or so, so I can develop it.
And anyways, I am thinking of developing a mini storyline for this region. But first, I need to complete a little more of the region. Here is the main city, Hukmann Alunad.

You should somehow connect the two. That would be AMAZING! But still, good work.
Hey everyone, I have all the Main characters in the storyline, but now I want characters from all of you. I'll need about 10-15. Some of the recommendeds are: gas station owner, medical doctor, army soldier/officer, navy soldier/officer, store owner, etc. Anything you all can think of!
So far, I have these 4 main characters:
Mains:
- Alex Puto (me, Civil Engineer/Architect)
- Adrian Smith (AF Pilot)
- Argo Sowinski (Architect)
- Jerome (no one knows his real name) (Mayor)
For your character I will need to know:
- Semi-Main or Minor Charachter:
- Name:
- Occupation:
- Wife/Girlfriend:
- If wife, how many kids if any?:
- Background (Place of Birth and childhood and if you want, anything you can hrow in):
- Age:
Thanks all,

Ditto that. It's a superb picture! Everything is just right - the flora placement, the bridge, the coastal mod (I see you're using rivit's mod; what combination of rippled sea/inshore textures is that?)...
WoW! Just amazing ! Sorry I havn't been around in a while , veryvery busy !

Key West (formerly Hukmann Alunad) was hit by a severe hurricane (A.K.A. a plugin problem ;)) and had to be rebuilt from the ground up.
Argo's place withstood the damage, but mine and many other tall buildings did not. Frankly, it looks much like the real Key West in RL because there is a height limit in the Florida Keys. Atrubia will have a height limit here too, except in Key West, where it is omitted in some cases.

Please comment, ask questions, etc. And please pray for my grandfather. He isn't doing so good. He has several broken bones, and he is 80 years old. It is not looking good.
Thanks,

The base also has an AN-225 Myra (Dream) for transporting military products aound the world.
Sorry, but no, this is not a AN-225, its a AN-124-100. The difference is pretty obvious and any aviation enthusiast would be able to tell the difference.

Keep up the work on the CJ.
Kumba: maybe he got mixed up because they both look like giant bloated flying whales! %wrd
KoV_Liberty: Looks awesome! Florida is a good place for your MD. The buildings and architechture you chose looks great in the setting! Also it will be interesting, because I don't think anyone has ever made an MD there before. ;D
Can't wait for moar! ;)

good job done KoV
It's looking really nice as always :P
Great airport. Love the idea with the decomissioned planes.
How did you get the planes on the taxiway in the third last pic? Mine are empty. :(
Awesome pics Alex! The base looks great! And I hope all the plugins are alright now ;D
Your friend,

Nice airport you've got! And I hope your grandpa will get better soon!
Nice airport, I like the livery of Atrubia's Airline.
That big plane is a An-124, not an AN-225, the 124 has 4 engines, the Antonov An-225 Mriya (Ukrainian: Антонов Ан-225 Мрія)
has 6, and it is much, much larger :P
Hope your grandfather will feel better, and his bones will heal. ()sad()
Once again, great to see you back!

Nice airport.
Did you send me a PM on simtropolis as Driftmaster07? I tried to reply, but you seem to have PM disabled.
Microsoft Flight Simulator Aircraft Log
Entry Numer One
Hello SC4Devotion people! I'm here to show you all the wonderful world of aircraft and airports. These flights will mostly be VFR flights (Visual Flight Rules) but some will be IFR flights due to unsightly weather (Instrument Flight Rules, which are a real pain in the arse). The fleet will consist of a wide varienty of Aircraft. None will be Airbus due to te fact I simply like Boeing better, in most occasions there will be Boeing. A couple will be Airbus. I obtained my pilots license (of course its a fake!) over the summer.

This will be a somewhat short approx. 200-300 mile flight from Nassau in the Bahamas to Miami International.
It was a good day for flying, but some storms coming out of the west. I had better get off the round before they switch it to IFR only.

I saw to the west that I had some seriously turbulent weather ahead. And for about 70 miles, I did. I was very careful to keep my head, realizing this was the same area where Flight 19 disappeard after World War II. But, I knew where I was, so hopefully my fate would not be like theirs.

About a half hour later I saw the coast of Florida, to my amazement, the slight wind knocked me off course to the south about 50 miles to Ocean Reef, in the Florida Keys. I turned north toward Miami International and contacted the tower 10 min later to begin my descent.

I was told to land on runway nine, so I had to turn west than east to line up for the final approach. As I turned east I crossed over Florida's Turnpike it was rush hour and there was a lot of traffic. I'm glad I wasn't down there.

I went a little farther and made a 180 degree turn for the runway, lowered the landing gear and started lowing the flaps. Now that I look back on it, I shouldv'e gone a little further west. But I still lined up correctly.

It's FSX, I love FSX, the best flightsim out there! (although I don't have it currently installed.)
Good "update" Alex!
You should should try to get a few add-ons, the best are usually payware (altough you can get a copy from a website!)
Luckilly, there are also alot of freeware, the best website I'd recommend is Simviation.com ...
Also at picture 20, right before the 747 lands, I see that you're quite to the left of the taxi-line :P
And:
I had to hold short of the runway due to a 747 Heavy landing. A cool sight to see one land!If you get a copy of MyTrafficX or any other traffic program for FSX, Your traffic will boost a lot, there will be more planes, and real-life airlines!
Thus, a won't be rare at Miami Intl, Airport!

I had gotten a call one week ago from a young Air Force pilot, Private Adrian. He told me that the base administrator said it was time to expand the base. But not with aircraft capacity or a new runway. But, military housing. I had agreed and was off with Argo to do it. After a few months work had steadily risen.
*Phone Ringing* "Hello?"
"Argo, we got to get off to work." I said.
"Okay, meet me here in 20 min."
"Okay."
After the last few jobs we had, the pay had afforded me a new car.

It was a long, and dark drive. On the bridge Argo dared me to turn off the highbeams, and go for the parking lights only. Seeing no one around and on a long straight bridge, I went for it. Very dark indeed.

That looks like you have a Spruce Goose somewhere...
Nice job finally updating!
Glad to see you're back in business! Gorgeous looking return, I love your dense tropical forests in this update.
It's a nice MD you have here. Good images with nice details. Thanks for sharing.
Nice update! Good to see this MD up and running again.
Your residential areas and the tropical forests look great &apls I really like the bridge and the area around it too!
Hey guys, hope you all are having a fantastic Christmas Break. I know I am so far. Unfortunately, an update will not come till after January 4th next year. I have a Research paper due that day. 2,700 words. Here is a preview of a new town in Atrubia, Newport.

Very nice preview!!! :thumbsup:
Happy holidays to you!!!
That rough looks downright dangerous...might break a wrist or two $%Grinno$%
Interesting idea with the custom golf course. For the fairways or greens I would think that simple plopped grass tiles would work best, blended in with mayor mode flora around the edges to create more gentle curves. As is, your fairways look kind of...bushy &mmm The bunkers look awesome and at least from this height look to have some depth or rather the illusion there of. The tree line is awesome and the ponds are well placed. I'm curious, did you make a full 18 hole course?
Otherwise, good luck with your research paper!
Yaay! You're back! Awesome update! :thumbsup:
Looking great, can't wait for more!
Your friend,
Jordan :thumbsup:
Wow! I might have had the idea of doing golf courses that way... but it never really clicked. Now that I've seen it done... &idea Thanks for the inspiration! :thumbsup:
Hmmmm, not sure how I missed your last update.

Hey guys, I know I really haven't been too active lately but I'm going to try to be more active than posting an update every six months. Hehe. Anyways, onto the vacations....
"Okay, so I'll pick you up in, 5 - 10 minutes?" I said.
"Yeah"
Alright Argo I'll see you in a bit. Bye."
"Bye."
It had been six months since I had done the Air Force Base, since then I had done small projects around the city, including a small highway through the utside of the city to make traffic flow easier, designed a beach in the city, a small cruise ship terminal and improving some of the highways around the islands. But now it was time for a vacation back to the mainland.
"Alright, are you ready to go?"
"Yeah."
"Hey thanks for giving me a lift." said Argo "Even though were not even on the same flight."
"Nah its fine, so you're heading to Meriah right?"
"Yes, well, Atalta, its sister city, more of a resort town."
"Very cool." I said.
"Yeah, and you?"
"I'm heading to Atrubia city for my vacation and Iliad a bit too. I'm flying into Atrubia International, the world's smallest International airport. It has 2 runways and the smallest plane they service is a 767."
"Wow, thats pretty serious."
"Yeah, The place is backed up as McDonald's toilet."
"Hehe. Oh look we're here. Well, I see you in two weeks." Argo said.
"Yep, later!"

The building was one of the longest in Atrubia. Pretty much a half mile from end to end. There is even a bill in the Atrubian congress for expansion, since there is only one terminal currently at the airport.

Not sure you guys have ever seen this reworked MCIA (Meriah City Intl. Airport), I'll get a few overviews for the next update. Hope you all enjoyed it this week, see you guys soon!
Alex
Preview: Next Week, a Special Memorial.
Spectacular! Great airport, I can hardly wait for next update.
Welcome to page 42!
Your airport is fantastic!
Superb work on it.
I Loved the last 2 updates!
Glad to see your back, again!:P
Hopefully you'll be a bit more active this summer, can't wait!
-Ricky
Before you read:
I don't want the mods to place this back in active classics, I want that clear right now, but as for now. Atrubia is closed. It will be fully revived sometime this summer with regular updates just like the early days.
Some things have to happen first:
- Me get a new computer.
My current computer is dying. I want to make that clear, while nobody may ever read this post, if you do happen to come across it though, my computer has some serious faults: it doesn't flow with the game and makes it laggy, the screen frequently flickers purple or yellow, the game crashes every couple minutes, and when I do get to play, progress is very slow and tedious and I cannot demolish large structures, etc. It is hopeless, so I'm building a new one, with a new epic Ivy drive processor coming out on April, new 1tb hard drive coupled with my old one, making it 1.5tb of space. A new SSD to put Sc4 on so it is very efficient, new 2gb Graphics Card, among other things all locked away in a Corsair 650D computer case. Will run me $1200 at the least, luckily I have my good friend Xander (WC_EEND) to help me out on this. PayPal anyone? Just kidding. I would never want you guys to do that. I'll make that clear. ;)
- Atrubia will revert back to a desert enviornment. It just will, I like the desert too much and I suck at spreading forests, I might as well be spreading a disease of the same tree. That, and I can spread better desert flora much faster with the new computer. And, aybe a Atrubia Rally perhaps? ;) I have high hopes for this MD, and I'm not willing to let it die without a fight.
- Atrubia will go back to the middle east as par the desert setting.
- The storyline ends here. I'm sorry, but it just isn't interesting. When the MD goes back online though, I'll post a poll whether to keep it or not. Just don't comment after this post. Ony read. But be warned, its like a NAM release this thing, there is no set release of the new version, just a surprise, its back.
- When this MD comes back online, I am going to need LOTS of help. One thing I was avoiding with the first Atrubia (go to the first pages to see) was hills. I suck at terraforming and very much less building on slopes. Most of all because of the little brickwork that appears when something is on a slight incline. HELP!
- I'll also need tips for what to do here. Etc, planning ideas, should I put in a transport system, HSR, El-Rail, etc. Well, or at least where to expand it to, because I already have an HSR started at Atrubia City International Airport. But please, go back through the pages and gain inspiration for ideas if you want, and if you fear you will lose the ideas, PM me and I will make a database of the ideas and give you credit where credit is do. I want this to be a interactive as crud MD and I want you all to enjoy it as much as possible, even while it is in a dismal state.
- To those who have followed it from the very beginning, thank you, and to those who have discovered it more recently and like it, don't worry. It is only temporarily like this. ;)
~ Much thanks, Alex (KoV Liberty)
Great to hear that Atrubia will continue.
The specs for your new computer are impressive. I must say, an SSD was the best investment I ever made in a computer. Windows and SC4 on a SSD gives a real boost. Upgrading my RAM from 4 to 8 Gb didn't help much, though.
But I fear that even on a cutting edge supercomputer, SC4 will still run laggy. %wrd
(My First Post After About a Month of Lurking :) ) Its strange how I can run the game on something less specs 2gb ram 1.8ghz its sad i know but anyway im glad that Atrubia will be continuing I really like this MD

Update 69 - Mini Update
(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi587.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fss315%2FDriftmaster07%2FMeriahCity-Mar11121267306869.jpg&hash=0f1d07e08a7dd64c04849267c2a8e517e929fef8)
Cyclone1001: Well, after ten months, I hope you enjoy this little taste of what is to come. ;)
bat: Thanks man! :)
Ricky112233: Well, I wasn't. :P I'll probably be more active this summer though. :P
RickD: Well, it's all built at the moment. And so far, SC4 runs very well. Not much lag at this point. Especially when I start to Overclock here in the next few months.
Westy177: Nice to see that your first post was here :D. While your computer may run SC4, I'm sure it does it slowly. Unless you are some computer god who can make it run perfectly fine on it. :P I needed a computer that could deal with the detail of my cities. It would lag like crazy whever I would try to move the camera and make the game unbearable. Not to mention CTD's also frequently plauged my game. But now, it's much better. I would say investing in my computer is one of the best things I could have done.
So. :P It's been a while everybody! Too long I suppose. Haha. Well, now that my computer is built (thanks to WC_EEND (Xander)) I can now play SC4 much easier. I can safely say that I have gotten more SC4 done in the past few days than I could have in months on my old PC. Even then, it still isn't much. I'm also still coping with the fact that Atrubia is still in a new region. Its vastly under construction, but I've had a few ideas pop into my head the past few days. Rather than filling out the whole map, I will designate the lower half to cities and the upper half to wilderness with various checkpoints along the way (like a real desert) to help prevent terrorism, etc. Its a start so far. But the first part of building up this region is to establish that line. As of now, I have cities above the designated line scheduled for deletion. Some are heavilty built up, and some are just a hobby (my fully custom golf course for one) that will disappear. However, the golf course will come back in the form of something by the ocean.
Well, enough of my babbling, you will see soon enough! So, for this mini update to help me get back into the swing of things, I'll show you some projects I have been working on, some I will start, some I will abandon and retool for better use, some finish, and even some you will control the fate of. But you'll have to read on to see that. ;) For the first picture, its about a city I am retooling. Merich City. If you look back at older pictures, its flat out disgusting. I counted, there were 7 stadiums within (game range) of a half a mile of each other. YUCK. So, I'm making the city have a shorter skyline, and more appealng landscaping. Starting with this:

This was once populated and slated by horrible skyscrapers and office buildings. Now it is a beautifully landscaped Mosque and small lake (which will be shown later ;)). This next picture is of another Mosque, which was on land originally slated tall buildings right next to Low Density RES, which is stupid of me to have even thought of. Now it looks much better.

This next area was once three large highrises, right next to Low Density RES. I think it looks much better with buildings and flora like this.

The Low Density RES I was talking about earlier now lives on a special MMP exclusive beach, to make the beach as wide as needed. It turned out fantastic in my eyes. How about yours?

One last thing I am working on is airport realism, which you will soon see with Meriah City International. In terms of realism, I mean by the amount of gates, the airlines at the gates (region specific), parking lot size, signage, terminal size, and cargo center size. This pic below shows a small portion of my realism at airport parking, although I may have to retool, having overdone the flora a bit most likely.

And thats it for SC4 pics for the moment, although I do want to show you pics of my computer, it's not finished. :P *Warning, Computer Talk Ahead! Proceed with caution!* I still need a H100 Watercooling CPU Heatsink for Overclocking the CPU, a new HDD, and some blue LEDs. So not just yet, but below is a picture of my desktop and as you can see, when the computer idle's it uses approximately 1-2% of the CPU. And the GPU is completely controllable via MSi Afterburner. I can control the Memory Clock, and much more, including the fan speed. Default smallest is 40% usage at 1470 RPM. However, for gaming on anything (whether it be FSX, SC4, or Grand Theft Auto) I always turn it up to around 3200RPM, to keep the GPU cool under heavy usage. And, as opposed to my old desktop which had multiple files scattered everywhere, this is very distinct, with an Applications Shortcut's folder, a Folder's folder (Yo Dawg moment) where I have files that I need easy access to most of the time, and a folder for pictures (even though there is a pictures folder, this is faster to locate in programs).

Well, I'll see you all very soon with some more pictures of Atrubia. I'm pretty much playing Sc4 every day now, but at the moment it's establishing the highways and where they intersect with other highways. Once that's done, I'l be doing Atrbia, section by section. That should make it easier for me to keep track of where I am in Atrbia and what I am doing. There will also be improvements with Mass Transit, and I am currently building my largest and most realistic port, the current port services 7 ships, I'm hoping the new one will service over 30 container ships, not including defualt cargo ships, oil tankers, and passenger ships.
Havva good one,

After last week's miniscule update, here is one of my biggest ever. 24 pics! But it is rather late and I have a 10 day trip to start tomorrow. Lots of driving, but hopefully lots of fun too. So I'll make this short. Meriah's new airport is here!

That is one epic update, I love the airport. Good to see more Atrubian content.
Fantastic airport. Great looking and extremely realistic. :thumbsup:
Have fun on your trip.
Great work with this airport ! :) Will come back here more often :)
Great updates KoV Liberty!! :thumbsup:
Don't worry, take your time to create your fantastic region! &hlp
I've only a little critic: You can use the 90° smooth curves in the sixth image of mega airport.
It's great to see this MD return, and I must say that airport is fantastic! You've made full use of the gigantic selection of planes on offer, as well as the unreleased Boeing 767's, very impresive.
Your terminal and concourse designs are well laid-out and realistic, and the vegetation and infrastructure around the airport is also well-made. I really like how you squeezed in Terminal 8 between the road and the runway, great use of the minimal space. :thumbsup:
I look forward to seeing more! ;D ;D
That is one huge airport! :o
Great to see you back!
Fantastic pictures of the airport there!
And great work on it.
Als Cyclone said, that is an epic airport ya got there! And it's huge, too!

Hope you're enjoying your trip, wherever you are!
Sorry for being gone for so long, this is the first time I've been back since the beginning of April! :/

Ol.S / Benoit: Thanks. And glad to see you will be coming back. ;)
vinlabsc3k: Thanks. And I am taking my time to make sure it looks as good as the parts I have already focused on. And the reason I did not use the 90 degree curve is because it would mess up the taxiway not sown in the picture. The airport is fairly cramped and moving the taxiway is impossible. And moving the road over to make it more smooth will plant it in very deep water.
apeguy: Thanks. ;) And I think those 767s will be released soon. They are most likely in the final stage of SC4D Scrutineering, if my guess is correct.
Evillions8: Thanks. ;)
bat: Thankyou my friend.
Ricky112233: I did enjoy the trip thanks very much. :) And you overcloced your PC? I do hope you used a CPU Heatsink that could handle that. The default Heatsink that comes with it is not supposed to be overclocked. However if you send a report in to Intel (or AMD whichever you have) saying the CPU is faulty, there is no way (almost no way) that they can tell it was OC'ed. I'll have to check with my friend on that but I believe (this coming from memory) that is what he told me. Hope you get that fixed soon!
Well, its been far longer than I have expected but I am back again. My trip took me from my home in Marathon to Orlando Fla. for an overnight halt before going to the program I was at at the University of Florida. But while in Orlando I also drove through UCF and that is a great campus as well. I got to drive on the highways in North Florida the next day and I must say it is quite beautiful up there. Large rolling hills was certainly what I wasn't expecting. And, because there are a lot of Cuban foreign chefs who put much salt on food in Miami, not to be mean to anybody who is, the food tasted much better as there weren't many foreigners. When I got to Gainesville where UF is located, I drove around the city a bit and it is quite beautiful there. Lots of Spanish Moss in the trees and shade. If I can find my phone, I have a few pictures I can show you guys.
The general activities I did were very college esque. Classes, projects, etc. on my intended major. Journalism and Mass Communications. We also had speakers from other colleges come in, all very good and well known in what they do. We even had an established writer come in, where she talked about writing successful novels. Throughout the week I had probably walked over 25 miles around the campus to get to classes and dining halls. However, thanks to Tropical Storm Debby inching its way across the Gulf of Mexico and into Florida, I walked at least 15 of those miles in the driving rain. Three of the 5 days I was there I got back to the dorms we were staying in as a soaking wet lump. And the stuff that went on in the dorms while at night was amazing as well. People skidding down the hall in mattresses for God's sake. I almost got nailed by one. :P And even a music video was made. However, it isn't too great of a song if I'm honest. :P But very well done in my opinion.
You can find the video here. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rYURY6_15nc&feature=my_liked_videos&list=LLvY0iRutrxoUPCwQ0iAwY0Q) I then proceeded to go to Jacksonville to see the UNF Campus there. I wasn't too impressed though. It was too small for me. I want to be in a large campus, which UF is. I also got to test drive a 300ZX Automatic. While for a bit I did have my heart set on one as a first car, I recently found something even better. I'm not going to tell what it is yet. But when I get one next year, I'll show many many pictures. :P You can try to guess up until then but I doubt you'll guess correctly. :P
Also in the time I have been back I haven't played too much SC4 because I have been playing Cities XL. :P Which is unfathomable how it works. So I just entered money cheats via trainer and am now 400K in debt each game month on my city :P. Its also impossible to plan ahead in that game because terraforming is very weird and destroying things to make rooms for more things makes you look bad and people move out.
I have also secured a job working at Publix Super Markets as a shelf stocker. So I should be making some monies. ;D
Now onto the update! Its rather small but not much impressive progress has been made. Just much suburban area. Which, annoyingly, has trouble finding work even though there are plenty of jobs available. So here are some pics starting with a suburban pic. I have made a effort to make it look desert-ish as well. ;)

This tile also connects to Meriah here:

However a highway will be built around this as well. This will alleviate the already terrible congestion.
I have had time to create a posh hotel though. The Burj Alunad is quite beautiful at night with the bridge. A pic will be available next update. ;)

A couple of pics of the new Meriah for good measure as well. Its not totally redone but it's getting there.

Havva good one,

Wonderful update Alex! And thanks for your quick reply!
Amazing to see how far you've come in such little time, reminded me alot of Egypt.. The only difference is that the buildings in Egypt aren't nearly as pretty $%Grinno$%
Inshallah! $%Grinno$%
Hope your choice will be made soon as in which college youll be going to...

New update should be up soon. Working on it.
That is a bog woaaahw :o Epic
Sorry that my posts are getting as frequent as a blue moon but I promise I'll try to be back at some point tonight. I've been working off/on on a rally stage and am almost finished with the general look. Hopefully I'll be able to find some stuff on it.
Merry Christmas
and
Happy New Year!!
I'm waiting your wonderful updates with trepidation!! ;)
Unfortunately, during a reinstall of Sim City 4, my regions folder has been lost, with no backup. I'm going to close the books on Atrubia. I'll have a new MD up soon. Maybe next month. Thank you all for viewing, and as always, havva good one.
