Driftmaster's Desert Village - V2, Completely New, Visit if you like!

[KoV Liberty]

Ah, nothing like a fresh start, eh? Well, thats what I did. And one day before the third! I'm a late bloomer. Lol. Anyway, the current income/expenses chart.



And a population chart.



An overview...



Now, welcome to my new town of Abid Adade!





The town is a suburb on the outskirts of a large city and transistions smoothly from it.

Three neighbor connections... (also updated )







The town hall.



There is even a small, compact Grand Prix track.



A church.



The cemetery.



Sports field.



And a shopping plaza. Nice huh? Lol.



There is the same as before park.



Hope you all like it.

Any thoughts?

I like your selection of power plant for the desert theme. Sticking with the desert theme? I think that I would have tried to put together a 'cacti garden' for the town park. OR - I think that Cycledog did one of those stone arches (natural bridge). Now that would have been cool. Work that into the center piece of a town park. Would be something that no one else has. I would have worked some palm trees into the scene (because your are in a warm climate) instead of so many leafy oaks and maples.

The desert theme is a good idea. Gook Luck with your entry and I hope you get a lot of votes   

[KoV Liberty]

Sounds like a good plan. But the palms I use, I cannot find in the LE.

[jmyers2043]

Excellent!

it's an impressive area driftmaster, and very different in location which is excellent. Seems maybe a bit developed for a village. I can see though that it's mostly commercial and you are only half way to the population limit. Must be a few folk over the city limits. btw where do you get the independent grandstand from?

[Battlecat]

Cool looking little city!  That's quite the canal route running through the area!

[Kumba]

I absoutely love the canal through the city, reminds me of a panama canal through a metropolis. a great idea and was executed well.

[metarvo]

This is quite the beautiful desert oasis, Alex.  I like the canal and the Grand Prix track.  I guess this is more of a commercial town than a residential one, though, since the population seems quite low for all of those skyscrapers to be there.  I'm sure people come from miles around to visit.

[KoV Liberty]

Thanks everyone for your praise! The canals were a hard thing to learn at first but I got it to work.  And thingfishs, the grandstands are actually by Maxis. They are part of the Little League stadium thing. And I updated my post for a few minor things.

[danielcote]

Why didn't you stick with the old one? It was nice.

[Earth quake]

It's a splendid village, driftmaster.

[wouanagaine]

I won't call this a village, even if the pop is around 1000

But this is a nice place in the desert, especially the last pic
