Will do! I'm actually surprised at how easily i've been able to stay on top of it. I was worried it'd be hard to manage with school and all.

Well, you won't have long to wait now! Saturday's not far off!

Yeah, I really like Ennedi's method for the rivers. They come out nicely. But no rivers or campsites in the next update, so we'll see if I can do anything else well 

Yes, very good detail and a beautiful Campingsite!

Thanks!

Very beautiful night shot of that area there, Toichus Maximus! Looking forward to the full update/ Saturday.

One more night.... getting ready for the goodies to come 

[Toichus Maximus]

Hello, everybody! Thanks to all for the replies, and remember, I'm always updating biweekly on Saturday, since my last post was ambiguous 

And, with out further delay, the city of Ammersé!

This one is to the song Summer in the City by The Lovin' Spoonful.  Clicky the link for the youtube video of the song 


c1
Hot town, summer in the city
Back of my neck getting dirty and gritty
Been down, isn't it a pity
Doesn't seem to be a shadow in the city


c2
All around, people looking half dead
Walking on the sidewalk, hotter than a match head

    But at night it's a different world
    Go out and find a girl
    Come-on come-on and dance all night
    Despite the heat it'll be alright

c3
c3
    And babe, don't you know it's a pity
    That the days can't be like the nights
    In the summer, in the city
    In the summer, in the city


c4
Cool town, evening in the city
Dressing so fine and looking so pretty
Cool cat, looking for a kitty
Gonna look in every corner of the city
Till I'm wheezing like a bus stop
Running up the stairs, gonna meet you on the rooftop


c5
    But at night it's a different world
    Go out and find a girl
    Come-on come-on and dance all night
    Despite the heat it'll be alright


c6
    And babe, don't you know it's a pity
    That the days can't be like the nights
    In the summer, in the city
    In the summer, in the city

Hot town, summer in the city
Back of my neck getting dirty and gritty
Been down, isn't it a pity
Doesn't seem to be a shadow in the city


c7
All around, people looking half dead
Walking on the sidewalk, hotter than a match head

    But at night it's a different world
    Go out and find a girl
    Come-on come-on and dance all night
    Despite the heat it'll be alright

    And babe, don't you know it's a pity
    That the days can't be like the nights
    In the summer, in the city
    In the summer, in the city

c1. The tower of Ammersé, which offers a view over the Church and Parliament building. Behind it is the Central Rail Terminal, which, as you can see, is very busy in the morning hours.
c2. The Ammersé City Port is very small because there is no direct rail link. As such, it is used only for smaller shipments, and most of that is gravel, coal, and other minerals mined in the Decca Mountains.
c3.Midtown at night. In general, the architects of La Costé and the Big Country don't build taller, high density buildings. The ones that do exist are built by foreign contractors by foreign businesses.
c4. An extended T intersection between the Mid Costé Rt 16 Highway and the East Decca highway, which follows the eastern edge of the Decca Mountains. The large lake was decided to be preserved for the sake of drainage, and the second off-ramp was simply extended around its edge.
c5. The AIG building, one of the several highlights of the abrupt skyline of Ammersé.
c6. A torrential rainstorm while looking at one of the smaller public marinas. Here is also a local ferry terminal that crosses the river.
c7. Main Street, Ammersé. San Roderigo del Flores church with classic Costeian architecture is juxtaposed with the Parliament building, which was built in a more Greco-medieval style to set it apart from the other buildings while still preserving a historical sense.
c8. Here is a cross section of Ammersé, which shows from the coast of the river all to the beginning foothills, where the city abruptly stops. Construction on the slopes would prove challenging, and with enough space and a relatively stagnant population, the city council has legislatively cordoned the area with the nearly unanimous support of the population. Note also some of the city center's taller buildings, which were contracted by foreign companies. They supply the majority of the jobs for Ammersé, now.

Some interesting contrast you have between buildings, makes an interesting picture.

These new pictures are fantastic! And wonderful work there with the RHW! The lake in c4 looks beautiful!
Great mosaic of that very great area!

[Pat]

Toichus wonderful update and the song a good choice too!!! I simply loved the mosiac and the same lake as Bat!!!

[sebes]

What a magnificent mosaïc did you put in this update    Now that is what i call a pleasant town. I full undertand the big foreigh companies build their towers there, but if I sure hope the city council will protect the cities historical buildings that fit the landscape so well.
I also love picture C4 with the intersection. Would be great to see some more shots of the transportation layout in the region (hint hint)

[FrankU]

Here in the Netherlands we have a discussion about skyscrapers every two weeks. Half of our population would go on the streets if someone would have the guts to plan such large towers next to a historical city.
And I must say: sometimes they have a point.

But hey, this is SC4. The mosaic is great.

I also love your parliament with the monastery and your harbour pic and, well, in fact all of them.

[rooker1]

That was a great update.  I'm not sure how I missed it.  I like the train station and all the rail lines you added in.  Great job.
