Welcome to Banff!
As my first MD, ever, this might not be the best region ever, but myself and others appearently think it is good. Below is The Table of Contents and the first posts. Orginally it was called Calgary, but I decided Banff was a better name since it creates thoughts of the beauty of the North-west, which I have attempted to capture. Enjoy the lush forests and mountains of a brand new MD!
So sit back and enjoy! ;D
If you want to see the best first, then go to Banff V2.0 below. ;)From now on, just consider page three the first page!

Beautiful nature shots. The train pictures are very quaint and it is pleasing :thumbsup:
Nice train pics there. Either of those first two shots should do well in the Picture Comp in my opinion.
I look forward to seeing more of your region.
thank you both of you ;D
these are just small teasers compared to the rail volume(this region is going to be very industrial and most of it is under constrution)
sim-al2,
Great start, very interesting pictures. Even if your region is under construction, you'll find that many of us are very interested in how people setup thier cities. So don't be afraid to show unfinished sections of your city. ;)
I look forward to seeing more.
Robin :thumbsup:
Love the train pics, can't wait to see more of the city!
Those train pics look beautiful!! Looking forward to seeing more :thumbsup:
Sorry it's been so long but here a whole nother set of pics.
Enjoy!!

Another fantastic update.
If I can suggest to you to turn off the grid when taking your pictures, they may look a little more pleasing.
I just came back from camping this past weekend so I find this update very nice.
Great use of the sway bridge over the Peg stream.
Robin :thumbsup:
Hmm... I love the trains.
Hey guys
I've got some interesting news. I've decided to work on a new region that will be even better. (you'll see what I mean shortly)
Teasers coming soon ;D :P
Teasers have arrived! ;D

Great start there! And nice pictures of your city!
Looks great! :thumbsup:
great start and beautiful pictures !!
great MD !! :thumbsup:

Thank you all for replieing. I'll try to update tonight. ;)
For the airport/poll at top:
I would design the airport to accomodate 747's, but with the current state of airlines perhaps show that only service with commuter planes is provided at the present time.
Your city looks nice and green, and cool....I have to go out soon and mow the yard here in SE Texas where it is freaking hot and humid &Thk/(
Some truly nice stuff you have here! :thumbsup:
Well, it's been a while but here's a BIG update. Not in size, but in importance. Brand New Region Time! ;D Blast it! I can never get a perfect region, at least till now skip this and go to the next page! And, I think people could be elected to help build up this place. I don't feel like making up a story right now, so just look at these.

My plan is as the following. The region is under construction to house a number people,and a lot of entertainment venues (Thank You Simgoober) I will answer any questions you have and will soon post a list of positions for the development council.

City-building has commenced but I have no pictures at this time. I've started with a small dirt road town and a vaction resort.

Heh! That's my recollection of how the RL version of Banff started as well.
It's been nice to go back through to the beginning of your nice MD on this unexpected (I thought we were going to be off the air today) Sunday morning. You've got a great start, and it will be interesting to see how you weave all the bits you've shown us together.
Good luck!

QuoteFrom Death to Pumpkins(At ST Virgin Shores)
I think first you should get your region on it's feet. I've looked at your MD attempt, and you definately need to post something concrete. And yes, a sig ad would definetely help. After your region's got a purpose and direction, then we'll talk business.
MD attempt? Anyway, I do have something "concrete" in the works.(technically it's asphalt ;D) Here's a hint:(ahem)shhhhhhhhh......bonk bonk(tire squel)

maybe not the specific airline,but you catch my drift :P
Hey, sorry about that. I hadn't seen those region shots yet. Last I looked there was just a first page and some random shots of random things.
The concrete has been poured. To make the image a link, put [ url=http://sc4devotion.com/forums/index.php?topic=4957.0 ] in front of the IMG code, and [ /url ] after it (without the spaces of course).
That is a pretty nice region. I like the terraforming, and it should be interesting to follow.

A little less photoshopping on this one. I wonder what's going on in the bottom-right and left corners? Also, a certain photo-processing person outlined a plane at a extremely sharp angle. It's believed that the plane was Frontier Airlines 302, which had a dual engine-failure and barely avoided skiding off the opposite end of the runway(which I shall show soon &hlp)
More to be soon! :P

I don't know if I can. School starts tomorrow and will likely put a big dent in my SC4 time. &cry2 I'll try to update as much as I can, but I can't guarantee anything. ()sad()
Thank you for your comments though!
Heh- school first.

It just makes SC4 time all that much better when you get to look forward to it. That's a nice night runway shot, btw.

Hope school goes well for you my friend and hope you find some time for SC4 so you can continue showing us your wonderful work ;)

You are very good in nature topic! My favourite photo is rail viaduct over country road - it looks so pretty!

The Find
NCR Ministry of Resource Protection and Extraction: Thursday, March 24, 2027 8:42 A.M.
Ford: Jeffreys, where's that simulation result I told you to run overnight?
Jeffreys: It's right here sir.
Ford: Interesting, lots of coal in the Omega sector and.... that can't be right! The computer must have a glitch! Are you sure you ran the simulator with the right parameters?
Jeffreys: I'm certain sir. I triple-checked it last night before I left.
Ford: It says here there's over a million barrels in Segment 42-A. Is that possible?
Jeffreys: I'm not sure there could be that much oil in one place and it not be discovered. Maybe we should take this to Mr. Mullen's office.
Ford: That's what we should do then. And rerun that simulator!
Mr. Mullen's Office:
Mullen: You say a million barrels? That much is unlikely, but if the computer indicates such a high likely hood of large reserves, we should send a drilling crew.
3 Weeks Later:
Ford: Mr. Mullen, we got the report from the expeditionary crew!
Mullen: Well, tell me what the found.
Ford: They found an extremely large amount of oil!
Mullen: How much is extremely large?
Ford: We're not sure the exact reserves, but when they hit the first pocket, oil shot over the top of the derrick!
And so it begins...Bonus Points to anyone who figures out what the acronym
NCR means!
And so it begins...
Good tease, my friend. You've set the bar up there a bit- I'm sure there'll be lots of folks checking in to see the pics once they come along.
Oh, "National Capital Region"? "Natural Color Relief"? There's lots more where those came from [linkie] (http://www.acronymfinder.com/nCr.html).
Watchin' for those pics.

NCR.... North City Railroad
would'nt live so close to the tracks, but nice shots !
Well, here's a hint. It's the name of a government. (not a real one of course) $%Grinno$%
No replies? Weird, but whatever. ???
I promise that I will put up an update in this space tonight or tommorrow morning. Then, my attempts at real regions will be finalized. Let the drilling begin!
EDIT: Here's what I think the final region will look like. It's not quite done but it's almost there. The region is 5x7 large city tiles.

I liked that airport! Whatever happened to that rogue plane :D
