Vancouver, Natrual Growth

[marsh]

Vancouver (Intro, Custom Content List, Other Stuff...)
Hello everyone. Obviously ive created a new CJ. This will depict a Natrual Growth Style Journal On a map of Vancouver, British Columbia.


(If your wondering... no... i will not be continuing Everglade NG. I wanted a.... fresh start. I was growing Everglade waaay too fast.and all the towns had way too much education and health buildings. It wasnt feeling like a natrual growth journal.)

So........

The map

The map is one by blade2k5. The map has not been relesed yet however. When it is relesed, i will provide a link. The map was a request I made on the NHP forum on SCdevotion, after extensive serching in google earth for a good style city. Vancouver has plenty of flat (but not too flat) buildable land. It also has plenty of water, opining plenty of ecinomic opritunities, and also has a few nice mountains to the north.

Well I'm sure you'll do an even better job of this - it always seems that a new city is done better than a previous one.

I look forward to seeing where you go with this!

A quik note....

THIS IS NOT A RECREATION, IT IS A NATRUAL GROWTH JOURNAL!




A european boat... sailing for over three years from France, to the West Indies, to the "New World" in the 1700's. It was sent by France to set up a colony on the WEST coast. Not the east like everyone else.



Three years and finaly, LAND HO!



The ship, St. Dynamite, anchored off a small island near the mainland.



The crew decided to start the settlement on this small island, instead of the mainland, because it would offer better defense against Canadian Pirates, and British Ships. The crew began chopping down trees to use to build their new houses.



They built enough houses for themselves, and also a small dock.



15 years later, more ships started to arrive. The settlement grew, and showed promise... for now.



Fort Vancouver was built. In order to provide defense for the small island community.



The Setlers built more docks also. And here, you can see some farms built on the mainland.




However.... The settlement failed. Vancouver was simply too far away to serve as a stable trading city, to provide goods for the people. The settlement was abandoned for about 200 years. In 1990 a few settlers came from the east of the Mississippi by settlers searching for a better life. And like many west-coast cities built, Vancouver was one of them.


TEASER!!!





A quik note......



This is the only part of my journal that will be plopped. The rest will be "Naturaly Grown" (like CSG's Journal.)
All this was was to provide a bit of History.

Hope You enjoyed

[nedalezz]

Great historical update I think we can forgive a bit of plopping every now and then, especially when they deliver a quality update as the one you did

[canyonjumper]

Great update! I'm just curious; in this alternate world, were cars invented in the 1700's? Cool ideas, Marsh!

              Your friend,
                             Jordan

[emgmod]

Great job with the plop part. Is there any trace of the original settlement left?

[Shilka]

Very good idea to start of with a historical chapter like this, eventhough the settlement was abandoned. (I'm curious if there's any remains too)
Frankly I think there's nothing wrong with some plopping going on in a natural growth style journal, especially when it has the kind of historical logic your update has. Good start, and definately looking forward to the next update!

[penguin007]

Nice historical introduction there can't wait for more
