___---'''''---______---'''''---___ 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:
You're telling me I get to be home for more than 12 months?

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!

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!

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.

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 :) .

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:
