I'm a huge fan of a good region shot. I love to see the big picture and how the cities relate. I'm always striving to build my cities such that they mesh well in the region shot. I guess you could almost say I play sc4 to make region shots! Haha, thats not exactly true but not far off, anywho. So, I figured SC4D should have a thread where we can show off our region shots. I'll start. This is a current shot of my region Nemonos. Pop = 420 000

Its... so... pretty! :thumbsup:
I was wondering, just as a noob, how you plan a large region like that? Do sketch it out at all or just wing it? I am having trouble with the winging it but I feel that my SC4 skills are not so developed that I could sketch a good idea right now. Thanks for sharing and I will certainly look forward to more region shots. Maybe with some help I will post one too!
Nice thrad start Giligone!
Love that airfield and the position of your CBD. Very nice region shot indeed.

Hey, thanks. What I did for this one was design the map, then i drew up a highway network that I would use as the backbone for my region. Then i loaded the map into sc4 and started building it out. I've pretty much designed the whole region in my head though. I hope that helps.
@ nik nik, thanks ;D

Wonderful region and city, DuskTrooper! :thumbsup: &apls
Dusk glad to see you still playing the game i love your region building style, a great undersanding of just how much sprawl a real US city has, and if i am not tripping (and i may be) i think i see some farms in that last pic.
Excellent regions DT!! :thumbsup: I stumbled upon that first region of yours back on ST last summer. I was blown away. The sheer size of that city still blows me away. How long did it take to build?
well i can't speak for DT but i am sure however long it took, it would have been a lot less if the DAT packer was around back then :D
Thanks for the kind comments, everyone! I hope others are inspired by my work. :thumbsup:
Alek: Yes, those are farms. I wanted to "complete" the "full metro look" for this new region. The older two regions DO indeed attempt to sprawl out a lot; however, the new one is much more dense, and most of the mass so far is W2W, with sprawl/single family and light industry only on the fringes, like most modernized european cities.
Gilgone: I played Montaukshire on and off from the span of March 2005, to about June 2006.
Oxford Province spans from July 2006-December 2006, and as stated, my new region of Vidorshire began on New Year's day (A new region for a new year ;D).
Furthermore, I could have sprawled Montaukshire more if I had not filled the entire blasted map with large city tiles(lag! eeek!), and if I had cleaned/re-arranged my plugins folder back then (as I have now, complete with drag and drop modules). The DATPacker would have helped a lot, too!
Looking forward to more from everyone else! :thumbsup:

Wow.......there are some great region shots here. Especially Dusktrooper, that is a huge region!
I havesome questions for Dusk Trooper or anyone else who has a huge region. Did you create the whole region all at once? Is there a way to add city squares to an existing region without reconfiguring the entire region and blowoing up the cities already created? If so, how do you do it? Thanks
yes you can add to a region config, i have done that numerous times just open the config.bmp in a photo editing program, and increase the size, leaving the part already done untouched, then paint in (red, green blue) what ever sized tiles you want, when you start the game they will show up as blank tiles in your region.
when you say "untouched" do you mean it should be black? Then the new tiles blue (green or red). I think I got it. thanks
no when you open the config file it will be a combo of blue red and green squares, increase the image size, the original part should remain the same, but there should not be extra blank space, fill this in accordingly.
Alek, thankyou. I got it. I will try it tonight when I get home.
I would like to post my current region I just started but . . .
A couple of questions from a dummy.
How in the @#$*% do you get the entire region in a .jpg without the region icon showing up in the lower left hand corner and what do you use to include the entire region?
Thanks
Keith
you need to download the region census, it's a tool which allows you to see the whole region without starting the game. you can save the pictures aswell. But I have to say, that I don't know, where you can download it. sorry, but I'll take a look

great work nikopol, what terrain/rock mods are you using?
urban, if you put your beach mod in a folder named zzzz_bechmod then SC4 will load that last and it will be the active beach mod, it should just overwrite the dirty grey one
shall I put the Beach mod file in an extra folder, in the puginfolder somewhere, or in the terrain mod folder?
and then? I shall name the folder zzzz_bechmod or zzzz_beachmod ??
I'll try and thx if it works it would be so great :)

12x19 large tiles and I'm damn proud of it! (even if my friend Xiziz made it :P)
Thats an old shot so many of the dumb spikey peaks havent been reterrformed to not suck.
Yoman that region is massive! Does that not mawl your computer? I once tried a region that was something like 60x40 (small tiles) and it was so deathly slow I had to abandon the endeavor.
That is on e massive region, and very nice too.
Just loading the image slows down my computer ;)
the thought that goes thru my mind....is how many lifetimes will it take to fill that sucker up ::)
Beautiful region, Jacky!
Yoman: WOW! That region is huge! And it looks great!
wonderful region shot, jacqulina! :thumbsup:
Yeah, it takes longer to get back into the region then to go into a fully developed city :P
It shouldn't take too long to fill because I'm only building on the Turkish part, most of it is mountains that will be left untouched :), and I can fill a large tile with farms in one day :)
thankyou so much,excellent work guys &apls
this is the region i'm working on, as you can see this is far from finish ...

I was going to develop NHP's Kinbasket Lake (http://www.simtropolis.com/stex/index.cfm?id=17827), but I decided it was too big (it was going to happen eventually, better now than halfway through developing it), and found NHP's Perote Coast (http://www.simtropolis.com/stex/index.cfm?id=17857), which has a lot of the elements that I liked about the Kinbasket Lake map, in a much smaller package (35 quads instead of 81).
great region :thumbsup:
which height limit have you choosen for snow and what is your highest mountain height ? I love the snow falling from your mountain on the hill, it looks very realistic but I've the feeling this isn't at high altitude, is it ?
Here is a shot a my new hand made region. It's not suppose to be perfect as I will be terraforming as I go. But the main shape is there.........I think. I really don't like changes in elevation, that's why there are alot of flat spots.

There'll be an airport to the north of what's built, you can see where the seaport's going to go (on the southeast corner of the region), and Downtown will be on that flat piece of ground directly north and across the river from the seaport.
This is what I hope it will become one day...

Thanks Shadow. Coming from the creator of Savannah Way, which I consider one of the all time great CJs, it means a lot.
I saw that map over at Ensenada, but I must say it again--outstanding work, SA. Truly outstanding!
This is the region I am working on. Going to start an MD soon with it but have been working on it for over a month and a half just to get it where it is now ... with terraforming done, all major roadways and rail placed. Took awhile because it is huge 16x15 large squares.
Let me know your thoughts on it....

P.S. I am looking for a good name for the region, I would like some ideas. The region is divided into counties of various sizes and will show in my MD this way by going through the counties.
Todd (tkirch)- That is absolutely a stunner. Hand terraformed and incredible attention to detail. I can't wait to see it live!
David
I'd call it the Sarken Bluffs, but . . . wait a minu-. . . I see a few regional features I know I've seen before from NHP! How cool! Madd props :thumbsup:
Yes it is not total terraformed I used some maps from other maps I liked, bits and pieces here and there and then had to mold them together and make it look seamless and then went through and added my own features that I wanted such as wider rivers and more streams. Smoothed and roughed, its been a long process.

here are images from three of the regions I've worked over the past 18 months or so. I usually develop a region for awhile, then move on the next and then eventually back again. There are so many maps I like to build on it's hard to choose just one....two of the images are linked as they are too big to post here, if I shrunk them down any further there wouldn't be much to look at.
This is Aroknan and the region's pop is sitting at around 5.4 million, the most populated tile hosting 1.1 million Sims.....

This was the CJ map I was working on last year, but ran out of free time to continue the CJ. Anyways, the region so far has topped out at 8.3 million, the most populated tile having just over 900k Sims.....

Transportation view. Note: I use the Rural Highway (RHW) network, and it does not show up too well on this view. (If you look closely, there are thin green lines where they travel though). Again, there are texture mis-alignments. I am not sure which transport view to use, the default or a custom made one.

Here's a region I've been working on intently for the past few weeks. The region is a 4x4 section of the north-eastern corner of the Barsalonia map and has a pop of 399,615 as of thirty minutes ago.

The two cities to the south have a combined pop of just over 371k and is a mix of 80% medium density and 20% high density, with medium zoned and plopped industry.

After some viewing on Google Maps I think you should have a region of about 1000x800 large tiles to be to scale. Need a large mainframe to run the game then....
In my opinion a region of 5x5 large tiles is enough for my two years old AMD 3500+ machine.

Barsalonia's North-East quadrant keeps growing by leaps and bounds. Over the past 8 days, I've developed two more city tiles, both along the western edge of the quadrant. One is another farming community with just under 12k job and a pop of 25K+, and the second is a medium density city of just under 150k, all commercial/residential and no industry zoned yet. Total pop for the quadrant so far is just a smidgen under 898K.

Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaang Blade you have been simming it up hard core :thumbsup:
Well, I've always said I love the game and when I get the itch to play, I go for hours at a time....longest time spent in one session on this region was maybe 12 hours when I first began developing it. In fact, I'm thinking of playing for an hour or two before I call it a night ;)
Oh, and I've never finished a region yet myself :P .....I have so many maps I want to build on that are my own and those from others that I could never stick to just one. ::) This region however, I intend to complete by taking the original 7x7 large city region and breaking it down into 5 smaller parts [1 4x4, 2 3x3's and 2 3x2's], the largest being the section I'm working on now. When this section's 16 quads are completed, I'll simply transfer the city tiles back to the original region in the game. I'll do the same for the 4 remaining sections.

&apls Very nice work Shiftred. That's superb looking farmland :thumbsup:
Shiftred: I like how the city is spreading out in to farmland. Very realistic.
Shiftred:
Very good work. This could be a Googlte Earth-pic of a random Mid West North American-city. The road and the farm layout is very well done.
Applaus! &apls
Blade2k5, Metasmurf, RBC:
Thanks for your comments all. I live in Indiana, USA and take a lot of inspiration from Indianapolis and the surrounding areas/farmland. Eventually when the core (old grid) of the main city is done, he farm parcels will be turned into sprawling suburbs.
I love looking at these shots! &apls to more people than I can mention!
Here's a little update on the one I showed earlier. The second of the outlying towns is in place now and more of the main transportation routes into the main city are laid out now. I'll probably start on Covington itself fairly soon.

&apls Looking good JBSimio. I like how you surrounded your towns with farmland. :thumbsup:
Very nice farm areas and great development on that region, Shiftred!
That's also a wonderful view of your farmland and city, JBSimio! :thumbsup:
Beautiful regions here!
Finally I dare to show one of my own. I started this last month.
I terraformed it very flat and rectangular. For two reasons:
1. I live in flat and sometimes very rectangular country; The Netherlands.
2. The game asks for rectangularity, so I give the game rectangularity.
3. I like this.
First I flattened everything to harbourheight with Terraformer. Then I dug out the water. After that I went into one city, raised a part with Smoncries ground raiser, so that the difference exactly fits the heights of NAM bridges, Buddybuds sunken highways etc. Then I spread this height to everywhere I wanted.
Purpose: a very large port. Guess why I called it Rotterdam.
I could not find the thread where Jeronij explains how to use Imageshack to post images. So I did it the stubpid way. Sorry for that.... If someone helps me to find it, I will do it the proper way next time.
Thanks in advance.
My region of Nieuw Amsterdam. It's huge - does not fit in one picture. Here she south part of Manhattan Eiland

Yes it is one of my maps. It's the NHP Barsalonia Mini-Map Pak available on the LEX. I'm not real big on seaports, or rail for that matter which is why you'll never see rail in my regions and very few ports. So far it hasn't hurt development in my regions as you can see from the region images I post here ;)
Yes, Blade, now I recognise it. Those maps are top notch my friend. I can't wait to see what new maps you start making now.

I am aiming at building a very large port and city (5x5 large tiles). The containerport is finished. The island in the centre will become my oil harbour. The island in the west will become, someday, mu large airport.
Left and right from the river towards the north I plan some smaller scale old town harbours. There is a small marina already.
The rest will be city with suburbs and highrises, who knows. But canals and water will play a large role.
I just build and build. As for now nobody lives here... It's just plopping away.
But I plan to let immigration start soon.
Nice region you have there (!) and nice begin!
Just finished and will be part of an MD im going to start

Beautiful city layout, realistic agriculture around it.
Could it be that your Sims complain about noise from the airport?

That's wonderful work on that region! Great work on the city and farm land! :thumbsup:
Wow, some really interesting regions. They all look fantastic and I like how bwatterud re-terraformed one of the Invermere maps. Nice work on that :thumbsup:
@penguin007 - Those farms look rather sparse, given the terrain -- especially around the towns.
Otherwise, beautiful shot.

I have to agree with CarmineHilton, that is one great map. And the trees that you have added to very nice. Not too much or too little. Now I would like to see some cities by you.

Beautiful. Absolutely beautiful. &apls
All three maps are really stunning!
How on Earth do you make these maps playable? I am playing on 5x5 large maps map, with only three cities with some real development and the game is really slowing down already.
What is going to happen when I develop 10 or all 25 cities? I worry already.
Specs:
1 Gig RAM
3500+ AMD processor
256Mb Graphics card
Not too large, but not slow either, I thought....
Thanks everyone! I'm glad you like it! ()stsfd()
And also, Pat, it's good to see you again as well! And don't worry, I'm still alive and kicking! ;) Don't get too excited about that prospective MD just yet though. ;)
Specifically to FrankU... I am embarrassed to admit that I play on an even slower / older laptop computer and a 7x7 large city tiles map. I guess the secret ingredients are passion, patience and persistence! :P
FrankU, until very recently I played on an AMD machine with worse specs than that and the game ran okay with 3.5 GB of plugins. Fully developed large cities took awhile to render when I would quickly move around the map, other than that, I didn't notice any problems.
Cheers,
Kevin
Thanks Big Slark.
Surely one of the issues here is: when do you self think there is a problem rising?
I read in another thread that someone had his computer taking an hour to start the game. I definitely would have given up after 15 minutes and would have thought my machine broke down.
So how large is the problem?
In my case, I feel some slowdown, but the game works OK.
This week I finally Datpacked my plugins and this speeded up more than I thought. And yes, I know I should have done that earlier.
First of all : Great region shots all of you. Its very inspiring to look at them.
I see its mentioned about running a big region. Is this a problem? I am running a big one now, and i dont see any differences compared to a small one. However, starting a big city takes of course longer time than a small one. Am i right or wrong?
my region so far...

just a quick question, how to take the big region shot?
With the SC4Plugin Manager, you can make a big region shot. There is a function for it in the program.
this is a test shot of a region I gave up some months ago when I embarked on my current Jakarta MD. It is based on the island of Mindanao, Philippines; the map is made by flamesrock (click here (http://www.simtropolis.com/stex/index.cfm?id=5369)).

As for my Jakarta project, I'm coming up with a massive mosaic of the whole city (not a region shot, you'll see ;)). I'm having quite some trouble finding a good image hosting site that allows me to upload large files (around 10Mb) and opens up the large image in a new window, instead of asking to download the file.

oh that is just fantastic JB, wow
tho maybe more stuff in the middle round the city would be good... its a bit bare from up here
Thats such a sweet area JB... I guess the bit you haven't finished is the middle city?
I only hope mine looks half as good as that when its finished.
Looks cool from above JB. I like the layout of the farm fields :thumbsup:
Cool pattern, JBSimio! I like it very much!
Your "NEW AMSTERDAM" looks really fantastic, Gailu!
Still a wonderful region shot and wonderful development on it, JBSimio!
Ho! Gailu, my freind! ;D Beautiful region!! :thumbsup: &apls

Here's a link to my new region that I just finished the layout for. I'm using the Whitefall map by Shadow Assassin, and have edited it in places to allow me to build docks slightly easier than normal.

As you can see in the top left corner i've just started development, thats a big power station there. Most of the dark green area covered by trees will be developed, and the lighter land will probably then have new trees placed on that after most of the development. I hope to have one large city towards the bottom right, you can see where I have left a region free of most of the roads. Then a few more smaller cities surrounding the north west bays, and several towns and villages dotted about. Plus a large harbour to the West will be constructed.
Fingers crossed this will be my first serious and best ever region.
I can't see your region shot ....
Fixed it.
I was thinking about installing a texture mod but they all seem to have way too many dependencies, some that seem lost as well. Still, hopefully i'll get this one to look good.
Hey Emopunk85, I can gurantee if its anything CP releated it can be found on the LEX and its well worth it.. If you need help finding it lemme know I can help you...
So anyways here is 2 regional maps I play with... One by NHP is Anchor Isles Map by Blade2k5 and the other Map I play is a map I made for BLaM and its the Meadow Hill's Map.... I will be sending it off to a pro to fix it for proper release... anyways here they are...

nice region shot emopunk85 :thumbsup: and Pat , your region is very good looking :thumbsup:
Heya everyone,
WOW! I give a big &apls to all the regions posted, amazing.
I recently re-installed SC4 and I can't wait to get back into the region building. After much searching and frustration with plugins and addons and dependancies (I hate dependancies ()what() ), I've decided to take a shot at creating some of my own stuff.
To start, I'm a rediculous Final Fantasy nerd, so I'm going to take a whack at some creation. Step one will naturally be land, you need something to build on hah. So I will be creating (possibly more than 1) FF region. I'll post pictures here of the finished region, and the resulting cities as I create them.
~Sorry if this doesn't belong here, but theres sooo much to this site that it is quite overwhelming.
WELCOME TO PAGE 20!
Two great region shots there, Pat!
And nice start on the development of the region!!! :thumbsup:
Still a lot to do. Obviously.

The big city is slowly flowing over the mountain range and is rapidly changing an old town into a nice suburb. The city in the north is also running out of space fast.

great region shot there webelch &apls the airport look nice :thumbsup: and also the city !!
BTW, Welcome at SC4D :thumbsup:
Very nice webelch :thumbsup: 2 years is amazing. What other game could you play for 2 years and still have fun with it. ;)
2 years eh? Wow! I get so far into developing a region, then get bored with it and move on to the next.....of course, when you have as many maps as I do that I want to develop, it's difficult to stick with one until it's completed. You obviuosly have more patience than I do webelch :thumbsup:
I can agree with Blade2k5.
I am not able to work on a region for a long time. Somehow I always get distracted...
On some point I felt very inclined to do a large rural area, and I built quite a lot. Then I stumbled upon Emilin's Seaport tutorial. It grabbed my attention and then I just wanted to do a very large port. After having worked for some time on that port I was not happy with the map, so I made a different one.
And so on, and so on.
So, I probably will never have finished any map I ever start with. But, hey; I have a lot of fun and that's what this game is about.
Sometimes people ask: when is het game finished? Is there a way to win? They just don't know....
Great region shots there, @ all! Wonderful work on the development on your maps...

Which terrain, rock and Godmode tree mod are you using?
Thx art, FrankU and RBC.. :)
Well.. Just the usual Cycledogg-Things. The Terrain-Mod is the Columbus Terrain Mod and the trees.. Jep, here it's not so simple. I use for some lower regions PEG's seasonal trees, CP's seasonal trees.. the SFBT-birchs.. Well - all these seasonal things in combination with douglas trees, and in higher regions (like Vercors & Chartreuse in the left/right edge of this map) just the douglas trees. The rockmod is this one: http://sc4devotion.com/csxlex/lex_filedesc.php?lotGET=35
..and i use only jrj's semitransparent plop-water. (and PEG's pond-kit for the gd. lac de laffrey, but i think i will change that, caused in the difference between jrj's and PEG's water-color..)
OK, here is part of my region Brockway. I can't show the whole region because it is too big (16x12 extra large maps)
This is the most populous area of this region, as most of the region is still untouched. This area is made up of about 7 extra large cities. Presently, it has about 825 000 sims. It's has proven to be quite a challange to build because everything is built on such steep slopes; most every building was done one piece of zone at a time. The steep slope actually hides a large portion of the city on the north sides of the hill. Unfortunately, I cannot load one of the cities (the one in the center just below the airport that has no trees) because it causes SC4 to crash everytime I try. I've given up hope on finding ways to load it up, so i will replace it and start over again soon.
This is an island in the center of a large lake. It's probably time I build some bridges off of it, but the city that won't load up is blocking access to the shore. I think my next step will be to finish replacing all the farms with houses, than to finish connecting some of the railways and highways that presently lead nowhere.

BTw if you want to showcase an entire region map, you can use this program that allows you to do it

Ok here is my new region, still working on some details. It is 12x12 large cities (which is smaller than my old one). I'll probably add some more small islands, and maybe expand the mountains a little longer. But I'd like to hear everyone else's opinions on what I should add. I imported the island with the cities on it from my old region, and so far I've added a few rivers.

Since i got SC4, i have allways played the same region. And for that, the region have grown during the years. Uploading a picture of the entire region is not easy due to the size of the picture. But here are a part. It is a view of the capital Victoria City. A city with a population of 1,2 million included the suburbs. On the upper left you'll see Bonita City, a smaller city with a population of 310 000. This is a rather old part of the region and i have some plans about chancing to NAM highways. I also are chancing som of the hills and mountains. As you can see the terrain are not made with any external programs.

OH WOW!
Q-Tips, that is really huge.
I didn't even know that you could even make a region that big.
Did you just keep adding away on the bitmap image?
How much bigger is your region? its looking fantastic :)
Joe
Ryusuke516 : Thanks. I dont think there is any limit on how big the region can be. Well, maybe your computer sets up some limits.
I started with a normal region, finished it but didnt want to start from scratch with a new, so i enlarged it little by little as i needed more space.
JoeST : I'm not shure. Its a mix of small, medium and large city tiles. Maybe i'll check it out, but if counted in only small city tiles, i think the size is about 75x110 where about 65x65 are finished.
I wish I could build cities like that. Just one word... WOW :o
Q-Tips: that is a very awesome looking region. &apls You say "ever since you've been playing," so how long has it taken you to accomplish what you've done here? Nice work!

Ok, I want people's opinion on this one. I use one giant region. I am going to increase the size of this region, and do some more terraforming. I'm going to add more tiles onto the right side of the map. What I can't decide is whether to keep with the mountain theme of the island, or maybe go for flatter and have some winding rivers and plains. I will possibly remove the small island covered with cities because I transplanted it there from another region and it doesn't really belong, or fit in (Although the 1.5 million sims really helped keep high density demand up). The region is currently 12 X 12 of the largest cities, and I think i will increase it to 12 X 18. Anyone have any suggestions which direction I should go? Comments and criticisms welcome.

Great mountains there jonno! What terrain mod are you using to get those grey cliffs?
Thanks everyone. For terrain mods, looking at my plugins folder, I have a mixture of CPT Olympic and CPT Italia Terrain mods, and JRN_PEG_Limestone for the cliff faces.
I am in the process of expanding the region right now. I'll post the picture when I'm finished.
That's an amazing region view, jonno.
That terraforming is quite amazing.
But, please, resize that image to a minimum of 1025x768, as right now, it is causing a sideways scroll.

Impressive region, i really like the mountain on the west.
A new region I startet working on earlier this week. This is a downscaled (and slightly cutted) version of NHP's Omaha map from Simtropolis. It's my plan to recreat the real Omaha City - starting with the main roads and streams. Initialy I started with NHP's original sized map, which fitted perfectly to the RHW-system, but the population grew all to big. Instead of 9x7 it's 4x4 big tiles, which I think is mutch better. Not for the realism, but 10 people in a suburben house isn't realistic anyways, and in a city with almost nothing else than suburbia, it would grow way to big (as mentioned before). I have to use the maxis highways (else the interchanges would grow far to big), but that's the only minus.
There's still a looong way to go, but this could end up pretty good:

Here is the region I'm currently working on. It's 16x16 large tiles in size. I'm very happy with how the coastlines turned out considering I drew them by hand. Currently I'm working on the three major mountain ranges using SC4Terraformer. The mesa area is still in it's infancy stages and will look much better once I add some spires and roughness to the mesas along with some talus slopes at their bases.

That's impressive, especially since it's so large and has a hell of a lot of variety in terrain. Did you hand-craft that or use good ol' Photoshop?
The coastline was drawn by hand in Photoshop since I find the use of a tablet far more organic to the end result. I'm not too happy with the mesa area and plan to rework it. The Canyonlands map is such an inspiration that I want to really make something special in that area of the map. The mountains are a handcrafted work in progress for the most part. It's a constant switch between using SC4Terraformer and SC4 ingame tools. I like the end results best when I use the ingame tools for mountains but SC4Terraformer is a necessity for keeping everything looking proper across city tiles.
Adroman: great region.
SeanSC4: excellent work at photoshop for the terrain mod. :thumbsup:
Shadow Assasin: nice overview.
emgomod: looking beautiful region.
This is my last region shot that I ever showed.

Here is the region I'm currently working on. It's 16x16 large tiles in size. I'm very happy with how the coastlines turned out considering I drew them by hand. Currently I'm working on the three major mountain ranges using SC4Terraformer. The mesa area is still in it's infancy stages and will look much better once I add some spires and roughness to the mesas along with some talus slopes at their bases.

Why does part of the far bottom left look a lot like Eastern Shores and Hampton Roads?
Well I love the geography of those areas and certainly took them to heart on that portion of the map. I love the look and feel of various aspects of that section of the eastern seaboard of the US. The eventual goal is to have some nicely developed resort areas there along what are to be sand bars and beaches. Below it is a loose tribute to the Mississippi delta area.
The region as a whole is a combination of freeform creativity combined with a few ideas pulled from areas found in the real world. I figure I'll have far more fun building cities and towns if I don't have to fret about how poorly I make rivers of my own for instance.
All of the maps look great guys. I wish I had the patience to to anything of the likes

Yeah those mountains have been annoying me and obnoxious is exactly what they are everytime I look at that portion of my region. Each time I attempt to terraform them further, I've been completely annoyed with my efforts and end up not saving the tile. I finally declared a truce on my region and decided to leave them alone until the urge strikes me to fix them. Mountains:20, SeanSC4:0 (for now). That's what prompted me to take my hills further along and start adding in some foothills and flora.
I've started playing with one of the hill tiles but I can't decide between making some farms or trying my hand at a few streams. Some of the screenshots of people's efforts in the Rural thread are extremely inspiring given the obvious talent showcased by everyone.
I've been terraforming so long now. It's time to put the region on the map as they say with some farms, towns and maybe a city or two.
Notes to self right about now:
1) It's easier to add in wide-curve railroads and roads prior to adding in dense areas of flora.
2) Add in wide-curve railroads before you try and add the roads if possible.
3) Canal, stream and pond sets don't like hilly areas very much.

Very true. My region is entirely mountains, and I have made no use of any canal sets; all they do is make scrolling through the menus take longer. The only thing that I have found that kind of works if you look at it from a distance is the little water plops that I have in my flora menu.

I decided to abandon my current project because I just wasn't happy with how it was turning out. Too bland and not enough challenge in the terrain. That and I made some serious layout blunders early on. So, I'm going to give this one a go.
Your regions are really beautiful, SeanSC4 and djvandrake!
here's the region i'll hopefully start playing with.
it's obviously based on the region of hobart (tasmania, australia), but it's a collage of three regions i liked and had downloaded lot of time ago. when i recently took my sc4 and installed it again, i had to select the region i want to develop, but can't decide so i started playing with those maps i had downloaded and here's the (almost) final product.
i also played a bit with the terraformer, so some areas had suffered some changes..
it ended being a really huge map (at least compared with those i had played before).

for those of you who know this area (i don't, so google-earth was a good help), i'm planning the capital city not where the city of hobart is in real life by the derwent river, but where sorell and midway point are situated, in the mouth of the orielton river, in the hobart portion of my map.

I created that one myself based off of some DEM data and some massaging of the resulting grayscale.
There is nothing easy in that region though. Everywhere poses some sort of a challenge when it comes to construction which is a lot of fun.

Thanks Joan. ;D I made this map myself by importing a greyscale of terrain from somewhere in New Zealand, then I tweaked it a bit here and there to get what I wanted. Speaking of tweaking, here's the final result that I'm going to start building on.

That is a very nice region, with beautiful varying landscapes.
I do have something completely different. The landscape is dull: completly flat. But the aim is not to make a realistically landscaped city, but to make a large metropolis.
The base of the city is a square of about 40 tiles wide made by Avenues. Within these squares I build neighbourhoods, commercials and/or industry. Of course there are stretched squares, diagonalised ones and other distortions. I developed about 9 cities out of 18. All together I reached 2M inhabitants and I was very happy to see stage 10 industrials grow. And I have some real skyscraper districts for the first time since I play SC4 (since 2005).
The only networks I use are Street/Road/Avenue, Bus and some heavy Rail. And I must say I am not a very crafted rail builder. Some railwaystations are not used at all, some other are hopelessly overcrowded.
Now take a look:

just started this region, this is the first city . Restarted with a new region because of all the sexy new NAM features, RHW, NWM, GLR etc... not to mention CAM. This is my first shot at a "realistic" region. the cities surounding the developed tiles now will be rural farm areas and there is another city planned around the mouth of the river. Note I play on medium tiles as I find this easier. The tree patch in the rightmost tile is an RHW that will be to connect all the cities along the coast of a rather large region. Also, as in all my regions, I make extensive use of heavy rail as the main source of public transit other than buses, although subway and GLR is also used (mostly GLR cuz I like the way it looks :))

What's the region size?
It's 4x4 large city tiles. Blade2k5's original map:
http://www.simtropolis.com/stex/details.cfm?id=22617
...is 7x8 but i cutted the map square and resized it. Tried the original map at first, but it was to massive. The problem with realistic sized maps from the real world is, that buildings, parks, interchanges etc. in SC4 isn't realisticly sized.
Its not quite finished or polished yet , but i thought i'd show it off. I got hyper and started building up the Urban Coastal bottom....LOL

@ Nexis4Jersey - wow.. looks good!
I always get preoccupied by other ideas whenever I work on a region, but I've finally decided to buckle down and build a single region for as long as I can, using no cheats whatsoever and no gameplay changing mods (besides NAM of course). Although I'll admit I needed to use a money cheat for the airport only, those are so expensive!!!

Wow..... 400 large city tiles..... :o
I would say go for it if your actually up for the challange. A map like that you will probably never finish. Which in some ways, is good. The region I am currently working on is 16x14, and I don't think that I would even get done with that....
@ louistsw: WOW! That's big! :o I'd say you build it... it would make an amazing MD!
WOW!
It's even larger than 3RR, amazing job &apls &apls
Actually, when you think about it, 80km x 80km is about right for a real sized region that includes a central metropolis, several mid-sized satellite cities far enough from each other and from the main hub, real rural sprawls, as well as some wilderness areas. The only limits to it (apart from the time required to fully develop the region) would be the simulator not being able to deal with RL transportation networks, even with what the NAM does, and the huge memory required to process everything.
You have got to release that map one day. :o
That brings me to the question:
I always thought that a large region does slow down gameplay, but is that really the case? Of course a large region does take a lot of HD-space, but that isn't a problem.
While playing the game you have your city, only one at a time, and you have the plugins, always the same for your region, and as far as I understand the game takes into account some facts from the neighbouring cities, which is max 8 of them. And that number can be reached for the central city in an 3x3 region already.
And yes, I know there are some facts from the whole region taken into account such as inhabitants etc.
So I can imagine that it doesn't matter if there are another 391 cities attached to the city I am playing in....
Who can elaborate on this?
It would be nice to build on such an enormous region without fear form crashing of extreme slowdown....

To be honest, I'd be curious to hear the answer too. I've heard this and accepted it for a while, but I can't imagine looking at a big region in region view would slow it down that much.
Anyway, Here's the region I'm working on right now. This region is actually 2 regions that I spent just about all day trying to put together. It was a lot of work but I'm happy with the result. In case it isn't blindingly obvious, the left half of the region was there originally, and today I added in the right side. The right side was originally a real world map, and for the most part the general layout is the same, I just made it a lot flatter to make it easier to build on and to match the left side. I seem to have screwed up the coastline on the left half, but I don't really care right now, it's good enough :P

This region is built in a Synoecism style (http://synoecism.blogspot.com/p/introduction-to-synoecism.html) with the 6 towns all being established simultaneously and growing at a similar pace. I'll have to catch the new towns up since I want all of the towns to one day grow to the point where they form one huge city, although that could take a while. My population right now is about 195,000, but for absolutely no mid- or high-density, I think that's pretty good. There are a bunch more places I could establish towns, and I guess I should do that before these ones get too big.
Just for fun, bragging rights go to whoever can guess the two regions I spliced together!

Yes, Mars has clouds. It's true that the Martian atmosphere is about 100 times less dense that the Terran one, but still it's enough for clouds and nice sky colors.

That Santa Barbara map is gorgeous in itself. It looks perfect with that terrain mod and trees. You've got a great region going there. It looks about as realistic as SimCity can get. A real feast for the eyes. Thanks for sharing it!
I agree, that region is just great! Besides what psander5 said, I also like how you have areas in your city that are undeveloped because there are hills or something. It makes it a lot more realistic.

A very WIP region, the SC4 Terraformer really [insert swear word] my region. As a result, I wasn't able to load any other cities but one. :angrymore: So I was lucky that I was able to revive two cities from my previous region into this. So yeah, that's why there is some rough edges and I have to make EVERYTHING by hand. :( Again, what I mean by WIP, I mean that some areas in this map is disappear or added. For example, the bottom left corner tile will be deleted because I didn't like the results. Any suggestions are welcome!

i have no FAR-angled maxis highways.
what you see it's just a good use of the standard curves, the illusion of FAR-angled roads comes from the region view itself.

While your city is saving, you shouldn't open any other windows on top of SC4, otherwise you'll have a blank tile again.

rusummer1 - that's a pretty nice region you're working on actually ! my only advise could be to enlarge the water arrival at the north if you want big boats to come to the port located little north of the downtown. Otherwise that's a fantastic region view !

Well, it was a lot of time to make that small part of the region. I created the region in August last year. But the region was completely abandoned for 4 months, when I made the USL mod.
The yellow farms are a tiny self made mod. I changed one of the brown Maxis farm texture to a yellow BSC farm texture. Less ugly brown, more colorful, looks much better. The close zooms are nice too.
This is the region I'm working on. :)

If you like mountains just search in Simtropolis maps from Alps. Just put Alps, and you will get lots of them. :thumbsup:

Here's what I have! This is The Farrington Metropolitan Area, as it stands. I hope to have it completed during my holidays. The next plan is to build an airport in the east where you can see all the empty land. This is only a small parcel f the whole region, but I like to develop my communities slowly and gradually. It took me three months to do the CBD and the city centre, and now I'm moving onto boroughs and suburbs.
I hope to show some transport maps soon. The networks of highways and railways actually looks rather impressive on the map.

This is a region I hadn't opened since early January. Just re-discovered it again. Don't think I'll continue it though, but just wanted to show it. (Although I think I've shown parts of it before.)
This also illustrates my deep hatred of treeing. :D

Marsh... La Soo happens to look a lot like that, lots of barren exposed rock with forests of trees here and there. You pretty much nailed the area quite well. I just wish we had a current map of Sudbury .... all 3200 sq km and 320 lakes of it :)
Here's a region I've been working for the past couple of months. No metropolis yet, just farming towns/cities at the moment...

Thanks. The rock mod is one of Ennedi's HD mods, don't remember which one. The map was created using DEM, the valley floor lowered by 1200M to get the water and the mountains were left at their original height, making them look more craggy and sharp.
Wow, look at that! I like your style. 8-)

Here you can see my region http://ggzagor.deviantart.com/#/d418nvl
Region: SanFrancisco ( p.: 1.400.000)
Main City: LaGrange ( p.: 380.000)
In total there are 69 cities, many yet to be developed.
The realization of this region began in 2003 and is still in progress.
The longevity of SimCity 4, for those who love build and operate, is infinite. This is thanks to the genius of those who developed the game
and to the many modders to make available, to others for free, their creativity realizing masterpieces.
Here's an updated look at my latest region which now has a population of just under 130,000 and still mainly farming towns/cities. Still have a lot of tree planting to do yet which takes more time than developing.

not that much actually, 2.2 million sims fighting for 3.7 million jobs...
the thing is, this seems to be the revision of v23.1 beta and there's still plenty of work and rework to do. yet another 3 tiles to be cured of the pox and just as I take this picture my eyes spot another few places to be reworked yet again. The hinterland (yes that's english) is basically not even created yet except for some main roadwork, trees forrests and other detailing flora is inexistent aswell...
And I don't even mention what the new NAM/RHW/NWM will do to it, still experimenting on another region :satisfied:
That's why it's coming soon for soooo long now $%#Ninj2

which tool is that?
i think i'ts Turbo Mod by CAM.
it's somewhere in the LEX (can't find it now..)
It's here (http://sc4devotion.com/csxlex/lex_filedesc.php?lotGET=2462).
Actually the "tool" that I use is a tool that makes all jobs into homejobs. which means that you don't have to worry of putting commercial places or industrial places to satisfify the demand of jobs for residential. You can like put only residential zones in a full large city and wont need to worry about jobs. And what I do is that I zone all residential with small amount of commercial zones to make it more realistic and I actually worry more in decoration of the city.
here it is the file :thumbsup:

Now!!! That is incredible! My god!
Holy....!! That's huge! :o
I don't think that it's as huge as you think, cos that arent buildings all over the place, but just trees (on the first picture with atumn colors, and on the other covered with snow). Am I right? :) If you look closer then you can actually spot where the actual cities are. It would be kind of strange to have population right up to the mountains picks (-tops,I don't know how to wright it, I'm not from an english speaking country). Or is it really SO HUDGE?? :D
Yes, of course, but it's covered by seasonal trees, meaning to plop them from the mayor mod menu.... :O
Fantastic looking region there, cowcorn!!
Also nice winter version...
First, both pictures date back from 2006. Second, At that time the largest city was under 100,000. Most of this is hand plopped Peg seasonal trees. I had a few tricks to make this less of a pain to accomplish. It is actually seasonal trees mixed with Peg god mode pines... I had done a tutorial (http://www.simtropolis.com/forum/topic/6838-simtropolians-guide-to-the-virual-world/page__st__90) (it's somewhere down that page) back when I had an active CJ on Simtropolis.

Right now I am planning on building in a T formation, with a residential large city in 2nd from the top on the left, with a small residential and primary farming area to the North, with an Industrial city to the East, and a Commercial city to the south, with the only city connections being a RHW-10, dedicated passenger train lines(freight blockers used in Industrial city), and a high speed rail line going to the Industrial and Commercial cities. I have never tried running 4 cities at once, so it should be fun, and hopefully I can manage to get past 100 game years before I get bored and want to start over lol

I don't suppose it's called "SC4 Devotion" for that reason? $%Grinno$%
Srsly tho', good luck / have fun filling that map.
I doubt I get much farther than the original 4 cities before I blow it all up and start over. I actually did get that map here though, I like it, it has some nice rolling hills and it generally easy to lay transit on, plus I got used to the ennodi slope mod finally(I forced myself to get used to it) and I now like it as well.
Here are my two regions in all their grandeur thanks to Lowkee's amazing new terrain mod.

I started working on a 2nd region a few months ago and here is what I have so far. I never could really decide on a terrain mod, so I have just stuck with this one. The areas covered with city are about the only flat parts. Typically, I don't build skyscraper cities, but because of the limited space I had tried to get a few office buildings in. Once a few popped up, they wouldn't stop, so the city in the corner has gotten a little out of hand. Still trying to figure out where I can put an airport.

what about a terrain mod with a little less of that flashy green and therefore more character around the mountain tops? appalacian, missouri breaks or italian maybe?
as for the airport, from the area visible I guess a small one at the coastal area, like the lower middle of this pic

Check out my region of Prospect Bay! Built on the terrain of the Nelson, New Zealand region, this region takes inspiration from the small towns of the Washington, Oregon and Northern California coast, with the more urban areas taking queues from the historic big cities of the US west coast. And of course I can't deny the influence of some famous SimCity 4 players, especially Maarten and Casper among many others.

My philosophy so far has been organic development: Starting out with small coastal settlements and agriculture and gradually expanding things, building infrastructure as it is warranted. I also tried to stick to a roughly historical progression with my infrastructure, at first forcing everyone to rely on narrow, windy street networks and sea transportation and adding more in as the towns of the region grew. Today, nearing 250,000 total population, the region features a more than 300 mile long rail network, taking spurs into account, and I've only just gotten started with putting in two tile surface road networks, and recently built the first stretch of expressway.

Its been a while since someone posted a picture of their region, so I'll kick this topic back to life :D
it started life off a couple of years ago as a RTMT test region, but once the testing had finished unlike all my other test regions this one I kept as my play region and have been playing with it every since, its not very realistic, and the eventual aim is to have the ocean running all along the bottom of the map and up the right-hand side

Great work keeping up with one region Catty. It takes perseverance to not start on a new region sometimes.
I am a bit nervous to share mine, since my type of gameplay may be greatly different from everyone else's, but I have literally been playing the same region since I first got the game about ten years ago. Cities have been heavily remodeled, obliterated, and re-established. The biggest thing that has kept me in the same region is that all of my attempts at starting new regions have been extremely boring, uneventful, and fruitless, sometimes ending in bankruptcy.

Hi Erik,
This looks like a gridless city. How did he do that? Some FAR here and there I do beleive, but this is really no grod at all!
No fancy FAR, in fact he thought NAM was too much hassle (I tried to persuade him otherwise :D). iirc he meticulously measured the street plan in google maps and then did some calculations to recreate it as close as possible ingame.
I love those kind of region shots. Unfortunately, if it's NAMless it's gonna be all zigzag streets which doesn't look very nice in city view (especially painful for railroads). But great effort nonetheless.
Cheers
Willy

Nice view! I also have blurred tiles sometimes, but not as bad as yours. For optimal region views, you need to save your cities in anything except zoom 1, and on a resolution no greater than 1280x1024.

It is not in any way accurate, I am no artist or expert at geology so I have no idea if the mountains are to scale or in the rivers and valleys are realistic enough. For this region, all my coastal areas are orthogonal so that I can place whatever CDK or ports I want as well as bridges.
As you can see, I have just started this region (again). I have started to construct my main motorway network (RHW 6C, since they are the largest type in the UK) and I am just concentrating on my agricultural areas.

Well, I do agree with you... but the FAR angles from NAM have limitations too, and sometimes, achieveng one special angle requires the zigzag. Take for example Manhattan financial district, or even so, take for example a "grid" area, which is Houston's downtown.. even if it is a grid that runs, the angle is way off of what NAM brings us.. and personally, I like using it.. Of course, it is not the best result, as I agreed with you.. but it creates a balance between region view and realism, at the expense of some little bumps... :-\

I was referring to how the landscape is not covered by a uniform growth of forest. There are lots of irregularly shaped clear patches, like most real life forests that are close to populated areas.
I agree with varnado, the forest is looking really good. I, for my part, never have the patience to forest so many tiles, but the effect is truly stunning.
This is my latest city, Rockport.
Rockport is based off Halifax NS. A small port city surrounded by nothing but a large, dense forest and a few scattered towns and communities.

oh, now i understand. i reached that result by using a "tree controller" (sorry, don't know who's one; think is one made for the italia terrain mod), so when planting trees in god mode, they are planted following the irregularities of the terrain.

the region is based on a map of the region of hobart, australia (https://www.google.com.uy/maps/@-42.8902923,147.3532618,11z?hl=es). i liked the variety the map provided and downloaded it (sorry, don't remember where). then i joined (on the SE portion) other map i had previously downloaded that showed the mouth of a big river and created one new, fictional map. i had to work a bit with the mapper and finally i rescaled it to fit in a 14 x 11 (approx.) large city tiles.

really old region, still in development. i abandoned it several times, yet returned again other several times. the advantage of a really BIG region is there's always some place to develop:

I really like that region; in fact, I really like large regions! Can you tell me what region this is? I'm assuming it's based on a real-world location; if so, where?
Also like how well you did the trees.
thanks :thumbsup:
the region is based on a map of the region of hobart, australia (https://www.google.com.uy/maps/@-42.8902923,147.3532618,11z?hl=es). i liked the variety the map provided and downloaded it (sorry, don't remember where). then i joined (on the SE portion) other map i had previously downloaded that showed the mouth of a big river and created one new, fictional map. i had to work a bit with the mapper and finally i rescaled it to fit in a 14 x 11 (approx.) large city tiles. ()stsfd()
btw, here is the area that is more developed:

That's cool how you combined two regions together. It makes your region more unique and lets you make a mark on a region someone else created.
^^ i used ms paint to join the grey-scale maps and some fine-tuning and then used the terraformer to make this joint more seamless. i even rotated one of the maps prior to join in ms paint. :satisfied:
lets revive this cuz region shots are cool, i play with cam 2.0 rural so things are relatively low density and going for a sorta natural growth look in this region, obviously a work in progress and im pretty happy with the way its going so far :) the large towers one in each of the two largest cities are plopped to make things more interesting and to solve some demand issues i was having (playing on hard with cam 2.0 is hard :p) region just hit 420k pop

Nice region, I forgot the name but it's one of my favorites! For some time I actually contemplated starting over again with this one. That said, please render the rest of the tiles asap! I cannot understand how you folks can build on a half rendered region. :P
I agree its definitely one of my favorite maps ive seen or played. The terrain is perfect, not too flat or too hilly, I also really like the way the coasts are. Makes it a lot more interesting to play :)
It looks really interesting what you are building on this map. I'm also playing this map currently and it has become one of my favourites.
Yeah, it really has a lot of attractive features. Because I couldn't quite recall my plans and got curious I went digging through old emails and uncovered this region shot, from about a year ago.
(https://dl.dropbox.com/s/bzthsmubwy7l6sk/aenl.jpg?dl=0)
As you can see it was meant to be an extension to the existing region - so not quite starting over from nothing. The delta, circled in blue, is taken from yet another region, though I can't recall which one. The islands in orange was meant to be the location for The City (in capitals yes :P). The mountain range in red would tie the two regions together. Needless to say I never got that far. In fact, this is just a composite image and the only remainder of these plans, unfortunately I might add. Seeing it again I'm quite tempted to make this reality. . ::)
Mirror Hollow. No road or building mods. I did use the RCI mod for flexibility and the money tree mod for a sandbox mode. And of course the Nam mod for traffic. But other than that It's plain old Sim City 4.

Interesting region, and welcome to SC4 Devotion, Mayor_Erinhold!
Anyway, that Cardwell region (http://sc4devotion.com/csxlex/lex_filedesc.php?lotGET=2957) that others have been discussing is pretty nice! I think you all just convinced me to download it and start playing on it. I'm thinking of doing a natural-growth type of approach to it since I think it'll be fun to do retrofitting in order to put in new infrastructure such as freeways, much like RL. It seems more fun than planning everything beforehand!
I don't think I'm going to abandon my current region, since I'm gonna need my RHW fix every now and then (and this new region won't have any freeways till a lot of development comes in), but I definitely can see myself having a lot of fun with this region.
@ travismking,
Does duch a large region not slow down your computer terribly? Or is it just a matter of HD space, which wouldn't bother me at all? I always fear for large regions because of that.
@ Mayor_Erinhold,
Welcome and: Nice! Interesting landscape! I'd like to see more of it.
@ Vortex,
A beautiful combination of landscapes in that region already.
@FrankU: it doesnt slow it down at all really i have no problems
@compdude: Its a pretty amazing region. Im playing the same way for the most part, makes it much more fun
Oh, all right, maybe that was one of my old fashioned preoccupations.... Thanks.
Due to advances in satelite technology, the federal government has been able to economically map the rest of the country with high definition images. A few remote villages in areas previously thought to be unpopulated were also found in the process and a crew has been dispatched by the government to make contact with the villages.

My computer crashed, but luckily SC4 is working on a netbook. I play a region with mostly medium tiles, always 6 neighbors, and I try to hide the borders in region view (region is originally 4x4 big tiles). So the most towns cross the tile borders. The picture shows a the situation around 1860 in Misery Bay/Simmania. First railways were built and early industry started growing.

BTW, the lake is nice idea :)
Vortext, that is a beauty of a region! The highlights must be the prominence of the mountains and that tarn.
Thanks guys! :thumbsup:
Though for the record I'd like to point out this is only one third of the region, and the image has been scaled down by 90% or so. Or to put that in other words, it's a friggin' huge mosaic composed of zoom1 city tile pictures, and obviously still a long way to go before it's complete. And there's yet another piece to this puzzle which I hope to unveil sooner rather than later. $%#Ninj2
As for rock mod, I use shokthrpy's HD Rock Mods (http://community.simtropolis.com/files/file/27655-shk-hd-rock-mods/), specifically #2 & #4 depending on the part of the region.
For good measure another rotation. :)

That region view is absolutely stunning!!
I want to know where you find the time to mosaic z1 city tile pictures into one massive, yet horribly incomplete region photo (I mean, that bugger is only a third of your region?!? Can you even reach the furthest cities?).
Very dramatic, though I'd also like to see the non-scaled down version; it's impressive, I'm sure.
Wow, that is pretty impressive!
Thanks once again guys! :thumbsup:
And yeah, between taking pictures for each rotation and pasting them in the corresponding mosaic it takes about an hour-and-a-half for one 'strip' from sea to mountains, which consists of 8 large city tiles. So far I've done 4 strips, so I'm 6 hours into this endeavor. However, I'm about to enter the valley floor which should speed things up a bit because loading large, forest heavy tiles takes forever. On the other hand there are a lot of medium and small tiles awaiting. . . :-\
And yes, I can reach all my cities. The region is only 12x8 large city tiles, so nothing too big (I'm no Blunder. . :D). As for seeing the full scale, in due time. . . ;)
For now the last, non-region census rotation. :)

Does someone know why sometimes the road (non highways) end up black, and sometimes white in the region transport view, by the way? To me it seems kind of random ???
I believe (and somebody may correct me) it is because your using the RHW transport view. If you do not view a data view before saving (ie the pipes the view) it'll turn everything black. Using a dataview turns only the RHW black.

CasperVg: You took the words out of my mouth! I noticed that in the Region's Transport map the colors and sizes are different from the menu.
I wonder this can be fixed...
Imho this maps needs a crime novel: "Murder on Slayton Bridge."
Actually, based on my experience, when one opens up the map with RHW/NAM on the map, the roads turn black when one does not view the transportation view before saving. This does not happen when one has no roads or highways. Rather aggravating indeed to have to view the Transportation view each time one opens up a map, but this appears to be an issue with the region view. Oh well, not biggy, just open the transportation view and save immediately so your roads turn to white.

I have the impression that this works only if you are not in pause. So I got used to open the transport view (and the query as well, just to be sure) and let the simulation run for a couple of days...

You can compare to the state of the region in May 2018 at this post: http://sc4devotion.com/forums/index.php?topic=263.msg525491#msg525491
Region update. Click links for full size.
Current population is 36.3 million, but I have a few cities ready to grow that should add a few million more to that soon.

This region is still in the terraforming state.........
I started the Lendt Region almost a year ago with on/off playing, and that is where I am at this moment. I actually hope to make it bigger than the Winding River Project and NoG (Nexis of Genesis) one day

I'm currently working on a new region. More to come soon.

A region I started years ago - right after GRV2 (IIRC) kind of was canceled - and now came back working on it, adding ~200000 residents in the last months to now ~340000 people.
Each "peninsula" started with its own style of agricultural structure:
West: Pivot
Southeast: rectangular, divided by tree strips
Northeast: Irregular, divided by tree strips
East: Irregular, divided by canals
I'm developing the region iteratively based on a mathematical concept I planned within a "simple" excel file, which calculates the discrepancies of demand and availability based on RCI compared to neighbour RCI for each tile.
Keeping it simple: If there is a higher job to resident ratio in the neighbour tiles, this tile wants to have more jobs as well, keeping the ratios within the region normally distributed to simulate kind of a natural growth.
From 500000 residents on, I'll redo the maths to switch from homogenization to specialization.... not sure how I'll do it, but this will be the challenge (as there are not enough challenges within SC4 ;) )
90% of the coastline is now developed. Only left are the harbor, the navy base and some shrines.. And with that the region just checked the 300K inhabitants mark.

@ soulchaser : It seems mathematics met aesthetics here! I have always loved the satellite views where the fields are very numerous. :thumbsup:
@ art128 : Superb work! &apls &apls &apls
The wooded mountains seem quite real and the presence of deciduous trees pleasantly emphasizes their contours: it is very beautiful ;)
The developments on the coast also seem very well planned and it would be very interesting to see some close-up views of your airport at the bottom of the map ::).
Some massive changes were made to my region over the past months.... Islands are still big WIP, which is why the coastline of the larger is not good.

Slowly but surely rebuilding my regional planning layers for the Kingdom of Borike. The 25th regional screenshot and 6th census shows the extent of development along the southern half, accounting for a population of 2,201,951 residents! There's still huge swathes of land to develop throughout the north, west and central parts of the region.
Currently I finished the region's freeway network, showing built freeways in bright blue, tunnels as thin bright blue dotted lines, and dark blue for routes under construction.

Here's mine! Timbuktu Region. Playing with CAM 2.1 (Skyscrapers) + NAM 44 Lite + 2.67GB worth of plug-ins (mostly content from LEX + Simtropolis)

Some Great regions posted recently.
Here's the latest progress on mine. Currently standing at 837.821 Citizens. Very close to the Million. I've never had a region with that much inhabitants before. I think I will hit 2-3 million when the region is filled completely.
I have some pictures I will dump in their respective threads now. Very much WIP so there are still empty spaces and stuff.
Will try to focus on BATing now. I want to finish my current building so I can move on to others.
