___---'''''---______---'''''---___ ALANCY ___---'''''---______---'''''---___
Hi everyone.
As the Datpacker gave me back the pleasure to play, i started a new city, Alancy.
Maybe some of you know my other cities, i'll ,of course, continue them (untill i'll finish them :p ) but as Alancy got a different style, I'm looking for other ways of developpement and playing with it and i guess that will keep me on this city for a while.
Well, last detail but not the least, i'm french so please forgive my english. ;)
To begin, 3 screens of the city center. More pics and closer pics in the next update.

Sweet, I think I've got the first view and the first comment!
That's a nice looking city you've built - I'm a big fan of the 5-way 6-way (I jus' dun lurned haw ta count) intersection near the bridge (you'll have to share how you did that), the whole waterfront, and that huge railway station.
Great work! :thumbsup:
This is looking good, for the most part, and I particularly like the 6-way avenue intersection too! :thumbsup:
It's difficult, however, to label it with a particular style, i.e. European, American, Eastern European, Dutch, Parisian, etc. as it is such a mixture of so many styles, without one in particular standing out. Not that it is a bad thing, and we've only seen two images thus far! :P
Looking forward to getting a 'feel' for both your playing style and city style!
-M-
Very interesting start mon ami :thumbsup:
yes that intersection &apls

Well I didn't want to say anything that would suggest that... :P I initially missed the bridge as one of the 6 "ways," but upon closer inspection I realised that that
too should be counted. $%Grinno$%
I remember your San Esteban from earlier times and I've always been always marveling at your style of laying out and building up your cities. And honestly, I still do, looking at this new city of yours &apls
EDIT: So, the title is true, I'd really love to live in such a place :P
Beautiful start, my friend! I love your transportation networks and the waterfront looks fantastic, too. I can't wait to see what else you have in store for us!
Good job ! I want to see more :P
I think your first picture is great, I love the square with the streets radiating into the city and how you have made your river banks, wonderful looking city here Pikatchoum.
Oh I'm going to love this! &apls very well detailed. ;D
oh wow.. that is tremendous! Would definately love to live in a place like that... or at least visit :thumbsup:
Well, thanks a lot for this nice coments :)
I'm glad to see some well known persons here.
Somes answers :
-M4346 : In fact, this city is for me mostly européan, but i'vae to mix a lot of différent buildings to make a w2w city, and there is definately a lack of this kind of buildings to make a w2w city only "european".*
-For the Head Bridge, that's really easy to make with the NAM. Just make that kind of intersection drawing avenues and that's all ^^.
Of course, thanks a lot praiodan, guurkud, dioangel, kwakelaar, thundercrack83, TheTeaCat, and meinhosen . :)
Let's go for the second update :) .

good job my friend, I like the city ;)
Magificient update!! &apls
Wonderful set of updates, the city looks fantastic &apls &apls
Good stuff. The transit network is amazing! &apls
this cj c'est super j'adore the uniqueness of this city all the diffrent dtyles in one it is amazing
Another beautiful update, my friend! I love the style of your city!
another tremendous update. i just love that first picture :thumbsup:
Yes, that square you've started out with is very well made. I also see a lot of smaller parks and squares scattered around your city, this is making it a very attractive looking place. There are so much detail, I would think this has taken a lot of time to come to this result.
A very nice looking city :thumbsup:
Sweet city. I really like the 5th pic. &apls &apls &apls
thats cool how you landscaped the bridge start
I always have a hard time with those areas, and you did it perfectly
What an awesome city! a nice mix between ancient and modern buildings &apls
I enjoyed looking at all the pictures. Not one city tile has escaped your attention. Very creative. The parks like the one that runs along the water front add a lot of visual interest. And that six point intersection is sooooo good.
WOw. I love the lay out of your city. a job well done/ the way you handled the waterfront is also very nicely put together.
Love to see more of Alancy. :thumbsup:
Strech.
Magnifique. :thumbsup:
Hey dear Sc4 devotion members (and friends :p ) .
After a few weeks of hollidays (Saint tropez :p , such a nice place ) and exams (less "glamourous" though ^^ ) , I can say i'm back to Sc4 life.
I'll try to make an update as soon as possible (maybe this afternoon if i'm speed enough ) . But, now, i'd like to deserve you a great thanks for your comments.
Antoine : Merci pour ce petit (mais non mois sympathique) message :)
Strechnitz : "Love to see more of Alancy". Good point, I personally love to show more of Alancy. I guess you wont have to wait so much now.
jmyers2043 : "Not one city tile has escaped your attention" . Of course not !! No tile will never escape me ...!! muahaha ( i guess i need more hollidays :p ) . thanks ;)
realdimension : i must admit i'm quiet proud of that mix after having studying my own city (Orléans ). Looks realistic i think.
apostate : Glad you like the bridge. IMO, o'm not totally satisfied of it. I don't know why, but i d'ont find it enough vibrant. Anyway thanks ! ^^
kwakelaar : Yeah it took me a lot of time to build it. But thanks to the Datpacker , it's easier to play (no lag... :p ) . Glad you notice the smaller parks. I think all cities have ones, sometime hidding behind a wall or a church but even so nice.
tankmank : Thanks for those nice words. Merci beaucoup ^^ .
thundercrack83, guurgkud, KANE, Flipside, dioangel, belfastuniguy, emilin : Thanks a lot, and stay stunned for the next update ^^ .
Hey, welcome back, my friend! I'll be awaiting your next update!
great pictures and wonderful work! :thumbsup: &apls
Thanks bat and thundercrack83 ;)
____ Update 02 ____ ___ ___ __ __
Every city I know have poor, underpriviledged area. In France they're easy to see with the typicalls row of buildings, mostly ugly. So it was important, in a realistic target , to build some of those "barres" like we say in french in Alancy, and they won't be the only ones.
Also notable in this update, the stadium and an old industrial zone with canals, progressively rebuild into low wealth résidential area. (remember my english is bad ^^ )

Bonjour mon ami!
Qu'est-ce qui passe que me a fait ne pas voyer ton nouvel MD!
Okay back to english - seems to be I forgot almost all of my french ... &ops
Great start! I love the bridge head with the big avenue intersection. Great Choice of buildings - it really gives that special French atmosphere! I do enjoy the bigger churches in the rural environment where they fit best IMHO.
And I am glad that you didn't spare "les barres" - people tend to show only the "nice" areas whereas I am really interested in the poorer part of the cities - like you "barres".
Great works with the kanal should use them someday again, too ...
Au revoir mon ami!
Bernhard :thumbsup:
Great update, my friend! I love the low-income area and the stadium and industrial areas look fantastic, too! I can't wait to see more of your development!
This was a really well made update. You have managed to get the atmosphere for these kind of areas just perfect. The mix with the industrial and residential buildings with the canals, very good.
The pale white and pink flats are a good choice to use here and then with the carparks along the road in the middel of this area, I can only say :thumbsup:
Great update pika :thumbsup:
The mosaic is really great
btw the SC4D rules allow you to post image higher than 600 , but not wider than 800 so you can post directly the full image ;)
Fantastic city you have there! Wonderful pictures! :thumbsup:
I like all the W2W, it all fits together
the soccer stadium is great, too, is that the one oppie made?
It 's great ! I've never seen some "voies surberge"-like ! and love the avenue intersection of your 1st update ! Your city have an asthomspher !! I'm a truely adept of "perspective"-lane , you seems to be one ! And I've seen that you are a "pâté de maison" ( locked city-block )city builder, and I like it ! I think it's more real for more historic part of a city !
In your last update I've specialy like the inner city block with litle houses ! so sweet and really inovative in SC4 !
wow this is coming out amazingly. love the mixture of the historic with the new. very nice indeed.
looking forward to more! :thumbsup:
--- Little Information ---
Some people ( on other sites ) were a bit "surprised" or "choked" by those houses between buildings bloc. In fact, that's not a pure inovation of myself as it does exist where I live -Orléans- and probably in other french cities. (and maybe european cities).Those kind of houses can't be seen if you don't know they're where they are because they're strictly hiden by buildings and only one or two roads, under the buildings go to them. In Orléans, this kind of "urbanism" can be seen in the right center of the town. So, what you can see in Alancy is realistic as realism has always be my way to play.
Voila ^^ :) .

Nardo69 : Hey my frind, nice to see you here :) . Merci beaucoup pour ces quelques mots. I also think it's really interesting to see poor areas because, well that's also athe city, not only parks and rich houses.
wouanagaine : Thanks for your comment. Tu es l'homme qui a sauvé mon jeux :p . Thanks for the pics rules. I've edited my post and the mosaic is perfect that way. :)
Zaphod : Sorry,I d'ont remember if it's an oppie creation. I'll check my game and see if there's a way to learn the author. Anyway, thanks for your comment.
nova vesfalo : Those "voies suberge" are mainly used in Paris (mais c'est bien mieux fait à Paris, leur aménagement y est superbe IMO ). About the inner city block with the houses check upper ^^ . Merci beaucoup en tout cas . ;)
guurgkud, bat, kwakelaar, thundercrack83 : Thanks for your feedback my friends. :thumbsup:
Once again, beautiful stuff ... I especially loved the mosaic at the end there ... you did that stadium and surrounding area so realistically ...
Keep it comin'. ;D
Thanks Flipside

p.s. You use polish style block houses ;) In french cites, interesting and nice :)
Wow! That last picture is outstanding! All those roads going in different directions on different levels... :thumbsup:
Wow, this is really good.
I can't belive i haven't seen this before. It's looking kinda like a mix between European and American cities.
The highways system in particular is awesome.
Great work!
Very beautiful, it is very realistic :thumbsup:
I know, I have already to leave a comment to you on TSC $%Grinno$%

Today I wanted to do a kind of teaser of another city near Alancy based on Le Havre (France) wich is one of the biggest harbour in France.
I'm quite proud of the begining, nervertheless the city crash each time i load it and i can't play anymore. I'll try to find the lot that causes the bug but if I can't the screen of today will be the last memory of a promising city IMO.

Very nice , I really hope you'll find the crashing lot as I'd like to see more pic of this wonderfull harbor
yeah I hope you find it, the port looks great :thumbsup: and the city from the Update is well done :)
Yes, looks fantastic, I hope to see more of course.
That last picture looks great! Wonderful harbour! :thumbsup:
This is my first visit and I like what I see. I'm impressed by the road network, but that last pic of the port is brilliant. I like building port areas, but never as good as that. I'm going to have go hunting for a few of those lots.
Looking forward to more
Cheers
Dave
Great MD you have here. &apls The transit looks too crowded but at the same time I like it. Very strange, I found myself looking at the roads over and over again. Great work.
Robin :thumbsup:
You should really use the european road texture, that might fit much better. Else a great MD!
Great view on the seaport, also the road network is very impressive.
An expressway on the first pic is my favourite. :thumbsup:
An interesting couple of buildings - many styles, but I know many cities developing this way.
It's very beautiful :thumbsup:
I left a more complete message in TSC in french ;D
Just a few more page views and this exceptionally nice MD will move to the "Ones to Watch" category. I've spent the last 15 minutes or so reading the whole thing from end to end, and that will be a well-deserved step, but certainly not the last.
Way to go, Pikatchoum. Alancy was a great way to start my SC4D day!
David
Pikatchoum,I didn't read your last post thoroughly - sorry!

I suggest to check your Japanese lots. Maybe you have one of them in 2 versions - one from ST, and another one from japanese site.
I had similar situation with Somy Gyoko Marina. I downloaded it from ST, and some time later i downloaded "gyoko 2" from Somy's site (I didn't notice they look identical).
I had both of them in my Plugins folder, but I had only Marina in old region. It worked correctly. But when I started a new region and plopped gyoko2, I wasn't be able to open this city anymore. It crashed to desktop when I tried to open it.
Sorry, I don't have enough knowledge to find good solution. I had to delete a city (fortunately it was a test one), But I think there is a better way. :)
_______Ones to Watch !!____ Yeah !____
Well, first of all, i'm very, very proud to be in the "Ones to Watch" section. I haven't updated Alancy yet because i want to make a great first update in this forum. That's the reason why i'm working on some customed lot to obtain a more realistic look.
_______________
Ennedi : I've checked all the lots i used in the harbor in another city, and i didn't find where does the bug come from. I guess i've forgotten one but i can't find it. I hope there is a better way than delete the city, first because i love what i diid inside, and then beacuse it's the second time i do that.
dedgren : Thanks a lot. Glad you took the time reading the (my :p ) MD. and , yes, i hope this wont be the last step, i gonna work hard for that. :)
Snaper : Thanks my friend. ;)
FromTheAshes : You're right, i think i gonna download it but as i'm working on some american style cities, i'm quite embarrassed having the euro texture in them. But, well, Alancy is my principal cj so that doesn't matter.
rooker1 : I love crowded transits :p , so realistic ^^ and vibrant.
toosheys : It's your first visit !, Welcome here !! Most of the lots are from Sommy. But be carefull with harbour's lots, as my own now crash.
bat : Thanks
kwakelaar : More coming soon. ^^
urban : i hope too... ^^ Thanks anyway.
wouanagain : Always a pleasure to see you here. :)
Congratulations on making the "Ones to Watch," my friend! I'll be looking forward to your next update!
Congrats for the new category! Also looking forward to the next update!
Congrats for your promotion :thumbsup:
Keenly an update :P
Thanks Snaper, bat and thundercrack83 :)

Well who needs an update with a teaser like that. That's one nice mosaic, sorry I just can't hold back, it's bloody bewt! ;D
Great work, well done on the move to "Ones to Watch", well deserved :thumbsup:
Cheers

Beautiful teaser mosaic, Pikatchoum! The sunken road along the coast looks great, and I love the placement of the train station. Can't wait to see some more!
Well, I'm sorry... I was about to make an update today but yesterday after 4 hours working on the city, the game crashed when i wanted to save. Si i worked today, rebuilding and improving the lay out I wanted, and then, again, the game crashed (Always save before using the GLR ...rrrrr i should know taht).
"C'est la vie " like whe say but that means I won't make any update today and i don't know when i'll find the time and the courage to return -one more time- build the University and some residential area. So be patient :). Sometimes SC4 really drives you crazy...
-----------------
Ps: Thanks tooheys and thundertrack83 ;)
Indeed the game has that capability :D
Well, not really an update but a kind of teasers (again - in french we could say "une mise en bouche).
5 screens just for you, enjoy them. I'm working more and more on the creation of cusomised lot and i'm proud of the résult.
Cente-Ville, Place du Tertre : The main plazza of the city.

Along the Tramway line, some modern and/or underpriviledged area. The university is really near and you can notice the modern students residences ( wich is not the case of all the students residences you can trust me.. ^^ )

That's a very nice une mise en bouche, Pikatchoum! The plazas and the GLR look outstanding! Great work!
I am so glad to stumble on this MD (better late then never :thumbsup:)
The Express Way, but most of all the exits, and the road/avenue connections on some of the next pages made me shiver from joy... they are beautifull! But also the Parisian style neighbourhoods in the last update are soo nice.... I must remember to come here more often :satisfied:
Bon retour and for longer I hope $%Grinno$%
It is absolutely superb, your road network is perfect, and your mixture of buildings is splendid &apls
Châpeau mon ami, c'est toujours aussi magnifique :thumbsup:
The plaza is looking like a true centerpice, the pride of any city.
Thanks Kwakelaar, Snaper, Sebes, Thundercrack83.
Here is the Update, sorry I'm too tired to comment it. But , globally, the university, the tramway line and the suburb.

Wow! What a great city you have Pikatchoum! After catching up with all of the great creations I'm finding, I feel as though there couldn't be much more room left for stamps in my passport! Besides the bit of story, there's certainly quite a bit of detail. A few pages back, I even noticed an accident with what appeared to be an ambulance having just arrived. I'm sure that was all AI, but nevertheless adds realism to an otherwise quite realistic city! Fantastic!
I just went through the last couple of updates and this is a great city you have here. Very nicely laid out with lots of parking, I love parking lots, very realistic. But what caught my eye was the bridge across the river and than over road and the GLR, great work, it looks perfect.
&apls
Robin :thumbsup:
Another stunning update here, Pikatchoum!
I always find it to be pleasant whenever you have an update for us! I love the diagonal buildings in the first picture, and I do have a question for you: Where can I find the building in your third picture? The one with glass cylindrical building and the staircase going around it?
Fantastic work, I've not been around lately and so I've missed a good many, has been great catching up.
I look forward to seeing more from you, :P
Hemhem... Well , after vacations, work it's now time to go back to SC4. Of course thanks for the few coments ;) and now let's introduce you the little screen coming.
Havrancy is the second city of the area. It host the main industrial harbour and so have an important place in the economic activity.
The screen show you a part of the wealthiest district, near the cathedral and the townhouse.

That is a very nice picture, where does this terminal come from?
Looking forward to see more.
Very nicely done and pleasing to the eye. I like the variety and placement of your buildings and roads.
Thanks guys :).
Kwaklaar : The terminal is in fact an airport terminal (from one of the airport pack but i don't know wichone exactly)
Today, an update about and along the Boulevard Alexandre Martin, one of the most important "avenue" of the city.

The areas around the Boulevard Alexandre Martin are looking really nice! Great work! :thumbsup:
Thanks Bat :).
Wow, your diagonal building looks great, Pikatchoum! Keep up the fantastic work!
Nice to see some pictures from you again, I have found the airport back where the terminal came from so thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
Original use of the flats that you are showing us, I like how you have made one large complex with a bend, and some of the other modern buildings are put to well use as well.
Hello dear members ! thanks for your comments.
First, thanks to you thundercrack83 for moving back this CJ here.
I've been working on Alancy for a long time but as i lotted some lots, and as i play very slowly ( often but slowly ...) , add the fact that i don't want to show something untill it's perfect ( or near the perfection ...) , and you might understand why i've not updated the MD for a while.
But today is a great day ! I have some pics to show you so enjoy.

The Odeon plazza is near the old harbour. This area is strongly marqued by the cultural activities like cinemas, or theatres. You can notice the Astoria hotel built in 1912 and the shopping mall Odeon-Millenium , opened in 2005. (the old building burnt in a fire)

Can't wait to see more!
