Beautiful work!  You're using a beautiful selection of buildings there, and excellent details!

Well, now, this is very eye-catching. I see some influences from Badsim, which is always a good thing  . Personally, I never use the Paris buildings, but your pics are making me think otherwise. Splendid work  !

Hello, Dark_Jedi06!

Sorry it's taken so long for me to comment here, I do apologize, but I am so glad to see Genevra up and running again here, my friend!

Everything here is so wonderful and so inspiring, every time I fire up the LE, I take a quick tour through here for inspiration.

I can't wait to see what you have for us next!

I didn`t see the version 1 , but if it was like the number 2 , i`m sure that was a great MD, because i like what i see  . Great looking and you seem to got a great skill on the LE.  Looking forward.

     We continue our journey around the nexus of Montereau in which we encounter a few new landmarks as well as revisit the Catedrala da Gronda Spada. We will only be focusing on one of those however, the Place du Dieu Mars, while the other two will still remain shrouded in mystery. The large temple with the green copper roof is the Place du Dieu Mars, or Place of the God Mars, but more commonly is referred to as the Temple of Mars. Constructed in antiquity (ca. 78 BC) by the Romans several decades after their conquest of Gaul, the temple was meant to intimidate and subjugate the local Gaulish population to Roman rule (History of Genevra, Section II. Antiquity). It stood without incident up until the fall of the Roman Empire centuries later, when it was largely desecrated by the Pagan barbarian populations pushing their way over the Roman borders. It would remain a relic of the past, butchered by salvaging and war. It would experience a rebirth, however, when the ideals of the Italian Renaissance where transplanted into Genevra along with the founding of the Sainte Église. Under the Grand Duke Lothair III's ambitious cultural agenda, the temple would be rebuilt in an attempt make a historical correlation between the new Genevran state and the power of the ancient Romans.

Carmine: Thank you very much. I eagerly await seeing your work return to the MD section.
As for that building, as you've seen in this update you've gotten another taste, but there's still more to it.

art128: I think I have a bit of an obsession with trees...but who would want to live in a place without them?
I think the Genevran citizens deserve some nice greenery.

rooker1: It's all a matter of different styles...and I would certainly say that I thoroughly enjoy your style in
your (Hall of Fame) MD Mind Scape.

kbieniu7: There aren't that many trees.

pipishere: Well we certainly wouldn't want that, otherwise you wouldn't be here to praise my work.

io_bg: Hopefully you're still looking forward to the next one.

Albus of Garaway: The best thing about having a lot of trees lining your streets is quite simple...it partially
obscures whatever is beneath and creates the illusion that there is more there then there actually is.

Micheal: I'm glad two people caught my little teaser...I'm still not revealing the whole thing though.

bat: Thank you very much.

Simpson: How does everyone know I use the Lot Editor...

Battlecat: I've always been fond of the expression, "the devil is in the details". 

dsrwhat316: When you stalk the pages of Badsim's diary as much as I have, you're bound to pick
up some influences. Though while the Parisian set it a bit trite, I've tried to make my use of them unique.

guurgkud: Well it was certainly one of the most inspiring comments I have recieved.

thundercrack83: No rush, this MD isn't going anywhere...at least that's the plan. I'm very glad
that I can serve as a source of inspiration to another excellent MDer such as yourself.

kimcar: Well version 1 has been condemned to the Inactive MDs if you ever want to give it a go.

very impressive start!
I'm amazed how well you used the w2w buildings and achieved such a great look!

[iamgoingtoeatyou]

You took my brain and caused it to self-implode.

[sebbyb]

absolutly stunning! you have really raised the bar with your LEing. 

[Shingure]

Simply beautiful Jedi! I love the lot editing I've been officially inspired to LE my lots!

[CabraBuitre]

Quite impressive and visually stunning!   

This is a place I'd love to walk around... but I don't think I'd like to drive... looks like it might get congested!

[pipishere]

Very impressive indeed. I admire your patience as it must take you ages to re-lot etc! 

[Battlecat]

Well if the devil's in the details, you must have to deal with him on a regular basis!  Amazing update there, love the incredible roman architecture. 

[bat]

Chapter two is very nice! Fantastic work there again! Your city looks superb!

[kimcar]

Again i have enjoy the pics that you have show. Great lotting and your city look very alive.

[Emperor Stormont]

Completely beautiful Eric, the painstaking lot editing and the richness in colour all come together and sit wonderfully alongside the grandeur.

I have an idea of what exactly it is you are holding back on

I however await to be impressed, as I know I will Eric 

[cameron1991]

Very beautiful pictures! IMO you have captured the narrow, cluttered streets of an old European city perfectly! 

[Youcefk69]

[Sciurus]
