Title: Criadandre
Post by: GrindPepper on February 25, 2008, 12:18:50 AM
Hello. I am new here, but Ive been wanting to start am MD for a while, so here goes.

Criadandre is small area of land and see with a tropical climate with a predominately European and Spanish population. It has recently became a tourist attraction with the development of a large island off the coast. Criacandre, when getting closer to the city become very dense with turn of the century brownstones and apartments. The commercial centre, how ever, is very modern. The reason it is so dense is the lack of space due to towering mountains and hills, and a result suburbs have sprawled in the space between them. There are four major hills/mountains in the area, and alot of them have busy highway tunnels going through them so commuters don't need detour the mountains completely.

An actualy update will be done some time tommorow or Wednesday, but until then, here's some teasers:

Cool looking golf course. You might want to turn off the UDI icons though. It makes for such a better pic. I'll be following this one.
