Very nice! I like the rail and all the Polish BATs in there! Verynice work.
Warszawa building Warsaw . Litlle bit crazy but the city is good but i saw it so many times ()stsfd()
Looking very good here Warszawa and I like the start one bit of advice though is I made the same mistake is not over using the Bold... Other then that wonderful pics here and I cant wait to see this devolpe here!!!
Hello Warszawa, It's very nice you started your MD here! :thumbsup:
Maybe there will be nothing bad if I'll make a little explanation for those who don't know our new friend - Warszawa is from UK, but he lives in Warsaw now and he said on the Polish site - Simcity Polska - that he likes this city very much. It is very nice for us in Poland :)
Warszawa, your pictures are very good! It was a very good idea to show your historical pictures in the B&W mode, you can experiment with this way of editing a bit more. Very nice couple of buildings - some of them are probably from a bit later period, but it would be extremely difficult to collect enough buildings in the style of these days. Anyway, the general feeling is very apropriate.
All pictures are good, but I especially like the last one.
Good luck and a good playtime here at SC4D! :thumbsup:
Adam
Wonderful start there of this MD! And fantastic pictures of your Warsaw! ;)

I definitely agree with you about finding those old BAT's for pre-war Warsaw, but I have used a lot of W2W buildings. I'm loving this site very much and can't wait to show Warsaw to everyone! :D

That's very good! I've been to Warsaw a thousand times since half of my family lives in Poland - you got the pre-WWII look pretty well. It's unfortunate however what the sims of your city will have in store in the next 30 years ()sad()
Nice although some of those buildings wouldn't be there yet in 1918 ;)
Looks great! Your selection of BATs is very clever. :)

UPDATE 3
Name of Update = Saxon Palace
Location = Downtown Warsaw
Date = 1924
Population = 1.1 million
The Saxon Palace (Pałac Saski) was one of the most distinctive buildings in prewar Warsaw.

During World War II, the Saxon Palace was destroyed except for the central part of the arcade, that somehow managed to survive, housing the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.

callbat - It was a real shame that the Palace was destroyed. Actually, the architects in Warsaw at the moment are thinking of rebulding the Saxon Palace in the exact posistion it was in 70 years ago. Thanks very much for that kind comment mate.
Pat - Glad to hear it :D Thanks very much for an enthusiastic comment as always mate.
UPDATE 4
Name of Update = Flats Districts
Location = Downtown Warsaw
Date = 1925
Population = 1.1 million
Warsaw has historically been a destination of internal and foreign immigration, especially from Eastern Europe. For nearly 300 years it was known as the Paris of Eastern Europe. Demographically it was the most diverse city in Poland, with as much as 20% of its population being either Jewish Poles or foreign born.

World War II changed all of this, and to this day there is much less ethnic diversity than in the previous 300 years of the city's history. Most of the modern day population growth is based on internal migration and urbanization.
Please comment! :D
great suburbs. :thumbsup: I enjoy especially the third picture
very nice updates and i am enjoying these updates
Nice updates, and making them b/w giving them a special touch! :thumbsup:
I just have a problem with the railway (well, that's where I am really picky, you know ... ;) ) - I think you used railway as tramway - but why do you use the GLR there? I don't think that the PKP before the wall didn't put their railway on dams or made them sunken to avoid those numerous level crossing in dense urban ares ...
Take care and don't forget to make backups!
Bernhard :thumbsup:
I think you should place more trees between flats.
ooh I do hope they rebuild it.
Very nice update :thumbsup:, although I must agree with Bernhard on the rails
::)
cheers mate

sauron620 - Thanks! Although I am basically only showing the inner city areas, I guess that the pictures show that they are likely to be the suburbs so yeah... lol. Glad you liked the update.
tankmank - Im really glad that you are liking this CJ. I have plently of updates to keep you entertained! :D
Nardo69 - I really like photo editing - it really brings out the realism. I have to admit - yes - I did use the rail way instead of tram way. You see, when I started building Warsaw, I didn't have the GLR downloaded at the time, and I had already shown updates with out it... After the WW2, I will definately use GLR. Thanks for a nice comment.
kbieniu7 - You are very right actually, I will definately put that into consideration when Im making the 'flats' districts :)
callbat - Yes - I will continue to show more updates until we reach the WW2. From there, I will show you the rebuilding of the capital and how it got back to life again. Yes, I will use GLR when construction after the war takes place. Glad you liked it! :D
UPDATE 5
Name of Update = Prudential Building
Location = Downtown Warsaw
Date = 1929
Population = 1.2 million
During the period of 1918, after Poland regained her importance, Warsaw was in a difficult position. The city had fallen into decline during the chaos of the war years. The first half of the 1920's, there was virtually no new construction. Building activity picked up in the second half of the decade, only to come to a halt after the Wall Street crash in 1929, when economic crisis set in. Yet it was during the brief period that monumental government offices were built, the steel frame of the Prudential Building - the tallest skyscraper in pre-war Poland - became a fixture on the Warsaw skyline...

Wonderful b/w pictures my friend!
Anything fits together, old and new. I even got myself a bit used to that railway as tramway (even though I still don't like it ... )
Take care and don't forget to make backups
Bernhard :thumbsup:
oh! I missed three updates!
1st update: Stalinist's buildings integrate very well with the city.
2nd: the park is very good :thumbsup:, but the parks you put are the same, and in my opinion i has not a good effect.
3rd: very realistic &apls
Hi there,
You have an interesting MD here. I'm not 100% sure that the black and white pics are to my taste, but I understand why you do it. The sepia/brown toned pic is much more to my liking :) . Love the blocks of flats in the update 7 - great district there. And the traffic jams on the streets add realism to your city.
It would be nice to see an overview to understand how it all fits together.
One suggestion - get rid of the arrows on the one-way streets, it will make them look much better.
I'll make sure I check in again.
Very Nice here Warszawa and I love the soccer fields area!!! Looking good here and will see you next update!!
Very nice shots of a pre-war Warzawa my friend... very nice. I love it that you use the black-white pictures, it makes exactly this MD outstanding from others.
Indeed as above mentioned by Paul, you should use the mod that reduced the one-way arrows. (Compare my city via the link in my signature: almost all roads that you see in the center are one-ways, but you hardly see arrows.)
And I think you should not remove the catenaries on the rail/tram track...they look to big and make to big black spots in the black&white pictures...
Your housing choise is however compensating for all the above - so if you keep all as it is now, it are still wonderfull pleasant pictures... :thumbsup:
&apls
update 6: nice park, seems like a perfect place to visit.
update 7: I like the residential developments next to the soccer fields!
can't wait to see your next update
The parks in Warsaw are looking great, my friend!

Once the war updates have finished, I will then be showing you roads without the arrows, so fear not. I just hope you can put up with it until then :D.

sebes - Cheers so much for that enthusiastic comment Sebes. I try my best in photoshopping. As I said to Paul, after the updates of the war, when Warsaw is being reconstructed - I will then use the one way streets without arrows mod. I will try my nest to show you the 'pleasant' pictures! :D

UPDATE 8
Name of Update = Transportation in Warsaw
Location = Warsaw Srodmeiscie
Date = 1930

Transportation was one of the main things that kept the city active during pre-war. Tram lines were installed near the beginnning of 1900's. The first railway opened in Warsaw in 1845. The main railway station is Warszawa Centralna serving both domestic traffic to almost every major city in Poland.

Please comment! :P
Great new update there, warszawa! And like the transportation in Warsaw! :thumbsup:
Wow really good
Continu &apls &apls :thumbsup:
Looking good, my friend! I love the rail yard especially, but the whole update was great.
Keep up the good work!

Looking good - I love how you are always able to catch the positive nostalgic feelings of old picture in your screens.
BUTthere is something I don't like here at all - the Maxis Grand Railway Station. I am not one of those who always scream against Maxis content but
THAT LOT IMHO is just ... bah ... ?$%kar&%h
If I can make you some suggestion as there are quite some nice big stations available, I made you an incomplete(!) list:
- Perry Station (http://www.simtropolis.com/stex/index.cfm?id=19328) by JasonCW
- Station Driebergen Zeist (http://www.simtropolis.com/stex/index.cfm?id=18074) by Vanderaap
- Hasbury Station (http://www.simtropolis.com/stex/index.cfm?id=17935) by Ill Tonkso - alternatively the better modded German Version (http://kurier.simcityplaza.de/details.php?file=427) on the Kurier
- http://sc4devotion.com/csxlex/lex_filedesc.php?lotGET=1241]High Holbourn Station (http://high%20holborun%20station) by mattb325 - just have a look at my recent pic in the Picture Competition (http://sc4devotion.com/forums/index.php?topic=804.msg147720;topicseen#msg147720) ;)
- Subriton Station (http://www.simtropolis.com/stex/index.cfm?id=17959) by Ill Tonkso or the German Version (http://kurier.simcityplaza.de/details.php?file=423) from the Kurier
Somewhere there is also a mod that turns the Maxis station into a useful two track RR station but the original lot is really *censored*
Please don't ruin your great pictures with such a bugged crap!
Take care
and don't forget to make backupsBernhard :thumbsup:
Edit: Found the Patch: Grand Station Patch (http://www.simtropolis.com/stex/index.cfm?id=2432)
Looks very good. It all gives me a good old rusty feeling. :thumbsup:
REPLIES
bat - Hee.. Hee... Pleased to hear that you enjoyed the update.
Simpson - Indeed I will continue, cheers for a nice comment.
thundercrack83 - I love that rail yard as well, I think it adds realism to that shot. Thanks as always for your lovely comments Dustin :D.
Nardo69 - Pleased to hear that you liked the update Bernhard. Thanks very much for those links you have provided for the train station, I'll be sure to use one of them after the war. I hope you can bear with the train station for next few updates until it is destroyed during WW2 ;).
Q-Tips - That's the film grain effect on the pictures that makes it look 'rusty', thanks for the nice comment.
UPDATE 9
Name of Update = City Facades
Location = Warsaw
Date = 1930
Population = 1.3 million
In the 1930's, Warsaw experienced something of a construction boom. Now, in addition to housing estates, luxury apartment buildings were being put up. Run-down shops were transformed into modern European salons with gleaming windows. At nights, the main streets were bathed in neon. In cafes, restaurants and dance halls, the hum of conversation could be heard well into the night and huge crowds flocked to the theatres and cinemas.

Please comment! :D
It's really good ;) &apls &apls
And it's realistic $%Grinno$%
Did you make a region if you make a region can we have a picture of the region ?? ;)
Fantastic "historical" pictures there! Like them! Also looking forward to the next update... ;)
Ah yes, I like those two updates a lot.
The mix of old and new buildings works very well. And in the second update I adore the graffiti/art on the side of the building in the second picture - very nice.
And I like the way the rails run next to the road in the first pic - oh yes.
And of course I will wait for the arrows to be removed - your MD is taking great shape, a few one way arrows are not enough to keep me away.
I look forward to more,
Paul
beautiful pics, I like the detail and the nostalgic touch.
:)
I like the graffiti on the second pic :thumbsup:
Another lovely update, my friend!
The city façades are wonderful--I love the one with the mural on it the best. Keep up the splendid work here!
REPLIES
Simpson - Thanks very much indeed. I have not made a region unfortunately.. I've only made Warsaw on 1 city tile...
bat - Glad you liked the previous update as always! Next update is here matey!
paroch - Hello! Glad you liked the updates, the arrows won't be there any more after the 14th update... Hope to see you again soon.
tcx - I adore that graffiti on the BAT as well. It was made by a talented Polish BATter - Ferox. Thanks for the comment, hope to see you again.
thundercrack83 - Hey! Good to see you here once again my friend. I appreciate your enthusiam very much and I will try my best to impress you as well as my fellow MD'ers! :)
UPDATE 10
Name of Update = Outer City Overviews
Location = Warsaw suburbs
Date = 1932
Population = 1.3 million
For the Jewish community, too, Warsaw was a centre of culture, with many events being staged in Yiddish. A key figure in the city's development was a long-time mayor, Stefan Starzynski (1893 - 1944), whose far-sighted urban projects were being implemented well into the post-war years.

Please comment! :D
A nice industrial area there! The other area is also very good!
Looking forward to the next...
a great industrial area :)
I like the way those non diagonal bats look in the third pic, they seem to be one big diagonal BAT :)
Nice to see another update from you. Both those industrial and residentalarea looks good to me. And as mentioned before : The diagonal building is good and looks like one big BAT. But those one way roads with all those arrows destroy some of the pictures mood. Nice work. At the moment this is one of my favour.
The city looks great, but for the love of God, please get a OWR removal mod. :P (oh yeah, I just read up there in your comment to paroch that you're gonna get rid of them after the 14th update... a relief :P)
It ruins the mood of some of the pictures...
But hey, it looks great. Do you use the Lot Editor to change some of the lots around so they fit in better with what you're looking for? If you don't, why not give it a try?
LoL gotta love it when folks forget to read that these are really old pics and that time will devolp as you catch up to where you are currently at Warszawa lol..... Cant wait till the next update!!!!
hmmmm should have page flipped with my post wierd???
REPLIES
bat - :) Very pleased to hear that you like the update, the updates are going to change a bit now, you'll wait and see.
tcx - Thanks a kind comment, It does indeed look like a big diagonal BAT.
Q-Tips - Thoroughly glad that you liked the update. Yes, I do have to agree with you about the arrows ruining the pictures mood, but they wont be there for much longer.
Shadow Assassin - Don't worry, I will do that soon and no, I don't use the LOT editor for the BATs. I might just try it one day. Thanks :).
Pat - Patrick! Good to see you again mate, you are so funny :D. Hope you like this update.
UPDATE 11
Name of Update = City before WW2
Location = Srodmiescie
Date = 1938
Population = 1.2 million
The Jewish population of Warsaw is 270,000 or about a third of the city's inhabitants. Freed in 1918 from the yoke of the partitioning powers, Warsaw has become a vibrant metropolis, where the arts and innovation flourish and where the Jewish intelligentsia forms an intrinsic and vital part of the avant-garde. At the same time, Warsaw is also, to a large extent, a bilingual city where knowledge of Yiddish, the language spoken by East European Jews, is sufficient to allow one to shop, study, work and enjoy the theater. In short, it is a center of both Polish and Jewish culture.

The black and white pics coupled with the "grainy" look are very effective. And your placement of the W2W is very good indeed.
Yes, it's a wonderful update with fantastic new "historical" pictures there!! :thumbsup:
Looking forward to more...
Another great update, my friend! The black and white pictures really add to the feel of your MD, I must say!
Keep up the good work!
Warsaw looking great my friend ;)
REPLIES
paroch - Thanks once again mate, I quite like the grainy effects on the black and white pictures, makes it feel 'older'. I enjoyed seeing all the W2W BATs together, see you again mate.
bat - More is definately coming in the week I can assure you! :) Thanks for a wonderul compliment.

Your Warsaw is looking very good! Fantastic work on it!
And looking forward to the update of the outbreak of WW2! ;)
Just in time that I be here again - I had no idea it had been 2 weeks since last time, and what a great updates I missed. The W2W streets are just gorgeous, and a joy too look at. I can already start crying thinking what will happen with these beauties in the next couple of updates....
I will be away for the next two weeks, but am anxious to find out how post-WW2 Warzawa will look like in your MD!

whoo...i can only imangine seeing one building alone in such a battered landscape...oh, the trials of war &mmm
But I do look forward to growth and see how you represent Warsaw in the post-war era.
Great update!!! ;D
These things happen, unfortunately. I'm also looking forward to Warsaw after the war.
Anyways, great update!
Hi Alex,
I missed a few updates - sorry about that.
And seeing the "before, during and after" updates altogether makes a BIG impact. The city WAS looking good, and whilst the grainy black and white means you can't see much in the way of detail, you can certainly see your city building skills for sure.
And your explosions captured the destruction well.
So, what happens now. I know i'm not the only one looking forward to the re-build.
Paul
Hello my friend
Another beautiful update of you &apls &apls
It's very realistic
Astounding. I'll be watching this. &apls
My dad visited Warszaw many times beginning in the 1950's, I'm going to show him your work when you reach 1960 or so.
Hey Alex I didn't know Warsaw got leveled from atomic bombs lol but hey great last 2 updates and I cant wait to see reconstruction pics and also color soon right ;)
REPLIES
Kimcar - Thats very true, and yes, I'm going to have to do alot of work to get Warsaw up and running again. Cheers for your support mate.
rhythmandjays - Thank you! Unfortunately war does happen... Hope you will follow this MD in order to see the post war areas :) Cheers.
mrtnrln - Yes they do unfortunately - thanks for the compliment my friend. Hope you are well.
Paroch - Hello Paul, good to see you here again my mate. I do try my best in photoshopping... some pictures look better than others. I used alot of real life pictures to compare with the certain effects to put on the pictures. Hope you will be here for the re-build and see you again very soon my friend. Thanks.
Simpson - Hey, thanks for the lovely comment. I shall try my best to make it realistic.
Unassigned - Pleased to meet you unassigned, welcome to Warsaw. Oh! Hope your dad likes it! :)
Pat - Pat! Good to see you mate. I never really knew that Warsaw was leveled as well, I found it out from a book of Warsaw I have. A few coloured picture will come soon. Thanks.
Update 15
Name of Update = Warsaw is Liberated (1)
Location = Warsaw District.
Date = 1945
Population = 400,000
On 17th January 1945, the Red Army entered the deserted ruins of Warsaw and reconstruction of the city began almost immediately. Along the main roads and routes, historic buildings were rebuilt from scratch – a remarkable achievement by any standards.

Comments always appreciated! :D
Hey Alex, I like the update. Great construction lots there. Did you custom lot them yourself?
And in pic one - where did you get those portakabins? I was looking for something like that just the other day to use.
Funny to think that from this rubble there will emerge a football team that will enter an international tournament one day ;)
Oh, and I hope they build a piccalilli factory to feed the people of Warsaw!
take care,
Paul
Let the rebuilding commence!
Great update ;D
Nice work! Your depiction of the postwar destruction is spot-on. When I went to Warsaw a few years back, I was amazed by the quality of the restoration work - the character of the town definitely shines through! :thumbsup:
The post-war Warsaw looks amazing, Alex. You've captured it beautifully.
And it looks like you're getting very close to being promoted to Best Sellers here! You're doing great, my friend!
Dustin
Nice, and congrats to be almost getting into the best sellers!
Another very good update! &apls

I am pleased to say that this MD, to this day has attracted 100 replies in 50 days, since it started on 21st April 2008. But now it is time for me to move into the Best Sellers section, so goodbye Recently Published.
REPLIES
Paroch - Paul! No, I didn't custom lot them myself, I used the pedestrian tiles on top of the original base. I have sent you a private message regarding the portakabins my friend. One of the updates soon to come will show you the base of a large stadium soon to be built. I'll make sure there is a Piccalili factory built somewhere in Warsaw to feed the residents. Lets hope they will be happy and wont get stick of the smell, or they will move to West End - home to where Piccalili is not seen at all, well maybe at Piccadilly stadium, hehe. :D
rhythmandjays - It shall commence! Thanks for the lovely comment my mate.
Schulmanator - Hey, pleased to meet you Schulmanator. That's a brilliant compliment from you my friend. I've only been to Warsaw once and I loved it. I will start on the old town when I go on Sim City 4 the next time. Thanks.

Update 17
Name of Update = Prudential Building
Location = Srodmiescie Warsaw
Date = 1945
Population = 400,000
The hotel was rebuilt over the stripped framework after World War II, but the style was changed from early modern to neo-classical to reflect the new times that had come.
Prudential was the tallest example of early modern architecure in Warsaw before it was rebuilt following World War II. The present tallest early modern high-rise here is Ministerstwo Infrastruktury.
Take a look at the tower before the war...

Simpson - Hey my friend. Hope you are well. I'm glad to hear such a lovely compliment from you my friend.
rushman5 - Hey Rushman5, welcome to Warsaw. I dont use the LOT editor at all, I just use many of the pedestrian tiles on top of the bases of the buildings. Warsaw will definately be dotted with many of Andreas lovely SFBT flats and many other housing blocks around the city centre district. Keep you eyes peeled and you may see some communist buildings soon. Hope to see you again.
sauron620 - Hey, good to see you again my friend. Thanks for the compliment. I actually think that the last photo is one of my best shots so far :).

Your city is very amazing!!!
But I think that just more view of your real city would be good...with bats and...life!
Nice pictures there! And great new update.
Looking forward to the next one...
Another great update, Alex!
You're doing some wonderful stuff here, my friend! I'm still waiting on those color pictures, though.
Dustin
Very good, you really catch an interesting feeling with the desaturated/black-and-white pictures. I like the usage of RebbaLynTS' Ditches (or that's what I assume them to be, correct me if I'm wrong) in the last picture a lot, you put them to great use.
WoW!
I see my row houses! ;D
Pictures are very realistic.
Good job! :thumbsup:

The workers have done a tremendous job re-building this area of Warsaw. Almost any resident helped out with the rebuilding of Warsaw.

Geez , a lot of construction over there ;D I really like black and white pics. Very realistic and great details. Bravo :thumbsup:
Hi Alex,
I like those last two updates there. You're doing a great job on the re-construction of Warsaw. I always enjoy looking at construction pictures (probably because I cannot do them very well!)
And interesting to hear you have a role in a short film - good luck with that I hope it goes well for you.
Paul
Very good updates! &apls your city, even if many things are destroyed, is amazing.
The coloured pictures are wonderful! :thumbsup:
Alex looking real good here and Im glad to start seeing color sneaking in here lol.... Love the last few updates and I cant wait till the next!!

Hope you liked them, Alex :)
Hi Alex,
Yes, I liked them alot. Very nice work on them, no hints of joins and nicely photoshopped, it gives a nice glow without over-doing it.
The farms are very square and gridlink, certainly not what I'm used to seeing in England but I have flown over similar layout in Calgary, Canada, so I know they do exist.
Great stuff here.
Paul
Wow alex those mosaics are just fabulous! Great to see you still up and about in the community, and working on such a fine MD. Truly jealous of that second mosaic. &apls ;D
Those....
...pix....
...rock!!!!!!!!!!
:satisfied:
Oh my friend this update is magnifical &apls
Your fields are very very good and very réalistic &apls
&apls &aplsWow those are very great mosaics. I like that you put trees in those fields. It`s not something usual but it`s a great idea and great look too. Keep it up :thumbsup:
As said kimcar, I like very much the trees between the fields :thumbsup: and also the forest is very realistic &apls
:thumbsup:
incredible mosaics &apls a very very good job !! :thumbsup:
Even though I grew up in the northern Black Forrest where trees are common on fields (Streuobstwiesen) there are sometimes a bit too much trees on the fields - especially on those that are not plain green fields.
Despite than that: presentation is superb!
One question: Which tree controller did you use for the wood on the bottom of the first pic? I am never satisfied with my woods but that wood looks great!
Take care and don't forget to make backups!
Bernhard :thumbsup:
These newest mosaics are looking beautiful!
Great update of that rural area!!!
Looking forward to more...
Very nice fields there, Alex! :)
I especially like the second mosaic. It's wonderful! ;)
OMG Alex some thing I just cant explain here?? I know Im breathless here on such beauty of the country and the effects to the photos you have giving!!! I cant wait till the next update!!!
Very nice :thumbsup: Can't wait to see more.
What a MOSAIC ! Amazing ! I don't like it, I'm lovin'it !
