@thundercrack, bat: here we go :)
@Flipside: thanks for dropping by, hope to see you again :)

As announced, this update's topic is Undomiel, the island, which can be seen in the left corner of the Taladriel-Overview.

Undomiel is located 16km (10miled) from the main Islands coastline. It is a well-known all winter colony. Parts of the Islands are well known for being a playground for the rich and are frequented by rich residents of South-America besides the residents of Taladriel themselves in the Southern Hemisphere's Winter from May to Octobre. In the Nothern-Hemisphere's Winter most of the residents come from Japan, Russia and the U.S.

Undomiel is often referred to as the "Durewan Antilles Finest Place to live"

(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg170.imageshack.us%2Fimg170%2F3113%2Fundomiel5dez24117967014vi1.jpg&hash=3856f2a4207297146129d1805ddc66f60bb3f094)

The Mansion of the Solis Family; the Solis Family owns about 800.000ares of land in Argentinia. They spend the summers in Uruguay and come to Undomiel in Septembre and leave about May. The house is about 40Million US-$ worth. It has a living space of 10.763 square feet (1000m^2)

(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg170.imageshack.us%2Fimg170%2F2315%2Fundomiel5dez24117967015wi2.jpg&hash=1327850bf689d74566611f3641e254c4c93dc1e6)

This house can be rent every winter for about 25.000$ a week, the last guest were a Oilfactory-Owner from Venezuela, who stayed 2Months. Costs? It's said, that he paid 320.000$ all in all, including service, gas, water and power.

The left house is estimated to be worth around 23Mio.$. It was sold two weeks ago, just being on the market for 23hours. Normally there aren't any houses to be purchased, since they are sold at a private sale.

The house with the tennis court is owned by former President of Brasil Fernando Collor de Mello, who lives in the exil on the Island.

The "Vivelle-House" is one of the biggest houses on the Durewan Antilles. It's living space is said to be more than 45.000square feet. It is owned by the goverment, who uses it as a guest house. 5Months ago a japanese Business magnate offered 100Million $ to buy the house together with the 7hectare ground, but was refused with the explanation "the mansion is not vendible.

That's it for today. I hope you like it, comments are welcome as always :)

Behind the scenes

@jmouse: Thanks for dropping by, I hope you will be able to work on your Islands so we can see them someday :thumbsup:

Hey everyone,  today is the time to show you some recent work I am doing all over the Island. Most of the Cities aren't finished so I can't show them as a done piece. Today I will expose you aconstruction site on the Island and old pictures of the first developments.
We will start with region views:

(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg513.imageshack.us%2Fimg513%2F5959%2Ftolcelairkbb6.th.jpg&hash=95982a45cc83f20494c1b31f738042b6bf087349) (http://img513.imageshack.us/my.php?image=tolcelairkbb6.jpg) That is the old view from March 9th

As you can see, I changed the water and the terrain modds more than once.
I deleted some of the cities because I wasn't satisfied with them.
To say it with different words: They were ugly ::)

A work in progress: Emerald Coast

The Emerald Cost is the name of the coast from Montgomery Bay to Mirathriel.
There are white sandy beaches and tropical forests planned
as well as suburbs and vacation resorts.

(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg529.imageshack.us%2Fimg529%2F237%2Femeraldcoast13jun411181th0.jpg&hash=ba1faf3e15a2e2072279734629dd78a4db4544d0)

One village still without a name; I had to plopp some fields
since I'm missing some dependencies and not every field is working.

As you can see, there is still a lot of development indispensable.
Next to the cities the beaches need to be created, so:

how to create a rural, tropical beach

1.Take a beach

Ok, here is a little extra for you. The following pictures were taken in the early stage of the Island. The places you're about to see do not longer exists. They had been deleted due to new development.

Toluka Beach was one of the first villages where vacation homes were built. The first wave of sun loving house builders came in the 1890's. The village's golden age was between 1900 and 1939. After World War 2 most of the visitors did not come back. Many houses became uninhabitable ruins til the 60's. As the new prosperity worldwide grew the tourists came back. Today the colonial houses are within the most poular vacation homes on the Island.

Blue Lagoon is the favorite area in Toluka Beach. The neighborhood is located on a kind of a plateau. Due to that you have a better view on the ocean.

@emilin: I'm glad you like it, it's always great,
if people notice the actual work.

@rooker1 I really should think about joining second life,
rebuilding the Antilles and then sell the houses.
I will check the travel agents. They are probably boooked,
but I think I can do something for you. ()stsfd()

@kimcar Thanks a lot for that big compliment.
I tried a lot of things to make the beaches as good as possible.
After some throwbacks I finally was able to creat beaches, that satisfied me.

@Jmouse: Thanks for visiting again.
I look forward to the competition, now I really have to think about making it
better than this time(hmm let's see...)

@glepet:Thanks for dropping by, I may will show a kind of vacation diary within the next updates,
have to think about it. If you want to fly to the Island remember,
that the International Airport is closed due to reconstruction
(I'm bad at creating airports). You have to fly to Montauk City Airport via Miami. ;)

@praiodan:Nicve to hear from you my friend
and thanks again for bringing me to that amazing community. I'm glad you like it

@bat: Thanks to you too, hope you will come back later.

@tooheys: I'm happy you found the way to my little paradise
and I'm glad you planned to come back.

@nova vesfalo: Yeah the new layout is lot better, thanks :)
I'm glad you like it, and that you liked it before.

@thundercrack83:Thanks for dropping by,
I will post another update probably before friday, but i'm not sure.

Hey everyone!

Today's Update is going to be a smaller update,
I have not finished both Islands as I had planned for friday.
But I will post some pictures of Christine Island
and will post more pictures the next time.
So but let's start with some information about the Islands.

Map of the Upper Durewan Antilles

Christine Island belongs to the Archipelago Upper Durewan Antilles
and is an offical part of the country Durewan Antilles.
It is the smallest of the three main islands: Christine island, Kudrow Island, and Sommerset Island.
Christine Island is located in the Caribbean Sea about 5miles west of Taladriel (http://sc4devotion.com/forums/index.php?topic=389.msg31643#msg31643) on the MainIsland.
It is 5.8 km² (1.96 sq mi) in area. Because there are no airports on Christine Island or Kudrow Island,
there is only access to the island by boat.
Ferry service runs hourly from Taladriel and daily from Undomiel.


Let's continue with some pictures :)

There are some nice hotels on the Island, one is located at the Mango Bay.

The cruise liner port of Christine Island


I'm still adding some details and I'm working on the flora. There is a street connection to the neighbor Kudrow Island. Kudrow Island is still in the beginning of becoming a vacation/residental Island for the rich and famous.
After finishing it I will post pictures of both Islands but I'm very busy so you have to wait at least a week. &mmm

I hoped you all like what you have seen so far. Comments are always welcome :)

@Robin: Thanks for dropping by, yeah all the hotels are booked.
But you can get on a cruise ship wich goes around the Islands of the Antilles.

@Joan: it wasn't that easy to find the right equipment,
that's why I'm changing and rebuilding so much stuff.
So the Antilles haven't been like this from the beginning they just became
better while playing. And thanks for your second comment and for the congratulation.

@kimcar: I'm glad you like it. Mango Bay is a very popular resort,
due to its silent location. If you want to get a room, please call 1-800-MANGO-BAY
(from 200$ and up)

@dedgren: Thanks for the 100th post in this MD David,
thx for visiting and putting it to the Best Sellers.

@nova vesfalo: Thanks for visiting.
The Mango Bay is located at the northern shore of Christine Island.
Thanks for the congratulation.

@sebes: Great you came back! On the islands we say:
"Who came once, will always come back."
That's the secret why the Islands are you wealthy and rich.
I hope you will revisit the Antilles, the season is all year long.

@Russell: I'm very pleased that the regime took some time
to discover the Antilles. The Mango Bay's maximum stay is 4weeks,
since they are booked the wholel year.
But the goverment of the Durewan Antilles
will give the regime a seaside mansion on the Island close to
Mango Bay for a very good price :)

@Dave: Thanks for dropping by. Yes it takes quite some time,
but if it's not the way I like it it has to be changed.
I'm not sure what to do with Kudrow Island,
if it's going to be a more rural Island with just some houses or
vacation homes all along the coast.

@praiodan: Hey pra, I'm glad you enjoy the Antilles
and as you know, there is always a free suite in
most of the hotels on the Islands for you :)

@bat:Thanks for your visit and I'm glad you like it.
Thanks for the congrats as well.

@Snaper: Thanks to you too, I'm very glad you enjoy it.


As you all noticed that MD has been moved to the Best Sellers section
due to over 100posts and 1000views. I want to use that opportunity to thank everyone again
who visited and commented on my MD. It is fun to play SimCity
and it is even more fun if you show your work in a great community
like sc4devotion. I want to say thank you to the "heads" of that page
and to the great players who designed all this great hotels, houses and tress I used.

Since I don't have time to do an whole update
(and the building on the Islands) I will just post the latest
magazine cover of the Traveller.
It is in png but it just looks to bad in jpeg, sorry.
I hope you like it...

Discover a new paradise: 
Walker's Island


Hey everyone

I will not continue with the Durewan Antilles,
the Islands have been an experimental project.
I have learned a lot in the last months and
I want to create an even more tropical better Island.
I have started a new region, called Walker's Island
(named after Karen Walker from Will&Grace :P).
The Antilles have many places wich need to be redone and
I thought that I could restart then anyway, so
let's discover a new paradise :)

I will start with a preview, since most of the places are not ready yet (of course)
There will be more pictures and more information about Walker's Island soon.

Josiah's Bay

The first Update is going to be about Josiah's Bay, a vacation and residental area.
It is located at the same-named Bay in the Island's south.

View on the Bay with some Beach Houses.
Those Houses are within the most expensive and most controversial houses
on the Island, since the fragile beach woods had to be cleared to make space
for the mansions. Nethertheless the location is just amazing and beautiful.
Let's take a look at some of those houses.

This house with the address Ocean Drive 45 Josiah's Bay was recently sold
for 11,4 Mio $ and became one of the most expensive houses on the Island ever.
It belonged to the deceased legend Johnny Cash who spent the winter months on the Island.

Wow,first of all  a great thank you to everyone.

@dedgren and the staff: Thanks for choosing Walker's Island, that's the biggest honor I got so far :)

@Robin: The next Update is in progress, but I will show you what i'm planning new...

@thundercrack: Thanks so much!

@pat: Thanks to you too!

@all: I'm really surprised that Walker's Island became OSITM, since I just posted one single Update :) When our godlike Karen Walker was informed about it she was so happy and I am too. I'm recently working on suburban areas and I'm talking big suburban areas. I always was very anxious to avoid urban development in disadvantage of the nature. But I searched google earth a lot and I especially took a close look to Florida and the Cote d'Azur. Urban sprawling is , unfortunatly, very big in Florida and all over the USA and Canada, but anyway, it is realistic. So I'm creating suburbia, a progress that starts with the lot editor. I'm using the LE a lot recently and that's why it takes longer, but it looks nicer.
Well, let's take a closer look on what I'm planning:

(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg265.imageshack.us%2Fimg265%2F8783%2Felfersfloridavt8.jpg&hash=187d6039c0c476254dd7d0c2965fe1c5b1fd6dd3)
This is a picture of Elfers, Florida[/i]

I like the idea, that each house is a waterfront estate.
I tried it with peg's ponds and it's quite good.

I created some lots, using the swedish modern houses
on a new base texture with more tropical props.
So far I have 6 diffrent lots, but since in suburban areas
the houses mostly look the same those are enough lots for one suburbia.
The next Suburbia wil have another style:P

Next to this middle-class suburbia, I think about more
upper middle-class areas on the top of the cliffs like they
can be found in southern France for example.

This is Port d'Andratx on Mallorca Island

Both locations are Mediterranean but they can be made tropical I think,
the biggest proplen are the trees wich take the view,
but I solved this proplem already :P

Here is an example  of a lot, wich I will use for the cliff-areas,
they are more older looking, but they were built in the
1970's, a time the old look was trendy I hope.... ::)

I'm sorry there is no Update and that I show you this making of,
but this is what I'm recently doing the most to make it as good as possible....

So, I also have to tell you, that I'm off to vacation on France and the Switzerland till Sunday next week but after that I have another week vacation and I will show you more. I will post another Update before I'm off on Friday.

the sorrounding countryside of the city, especially in the exclusive socalled Westside.

The Northern Beach is more crowded by package tourists.
It is one of the longest beaches on the whole Island.
In the 70's some large concrete tourist hotels have been built
contrary to bad expectations of the city's inhabitants.

Further east you can find the Karen Walker Elizabeth-Airport
(not to be confused with the Karen Walker International Airport).
The Airport was planned in the 60's, but due to difficult terrain it took
12 years until they started. There was just not enough space for a runway.
They solved the problem by building the runway into the water.
The airport is famous for its short landing strip
— only 2,170 metres/7,132 ft, which is barely enough for heavy jets.
Because of this the goverment built a bigger Airport in the mountains in 1987.
From then on, you had to switch to a connection flight.
After more and more tourists came to the Island the Airport reopend to big jets again.

On contrary to the Northern part of Port Elizabeth, the southern part is more exclusive.
The hotels are better, more espensive and have a nice view towards south.
The small Juliana Bay is the hot spot for everyone.
This started in 1887, when the first hotel opened.

The Grand Hotel Princess Elizabeth is the oldest remaining hotel of Walker's Island.
It was often said, the hotel is going to be destructed,
to make space for a new glass palace, but it is owned by our godlike Karen Walker,
who will never sell it.

It was built on one of the most amazin piece of land,

History Lesson

Discovery of the Islands and
Rise and Fall of the Frederikson Dynasty

The Islands were first sighted by Christian Frederikson on May 13, 1526.
Frederikson was a mariner and explorer of the mighty and powerful Frederikson Family,
a wealthy trading dynasty from the Zollernmark.
He named the Island "Tol Calen" (green Island),
after its dense forests. Colonization started 50years later.

View on the whole Island

Within the years the population rose  to 25.000 people in 1680,
most of the people living in Port Frederikson.
The King of teh Zollermark was more and more concerned
about the rising power of the Frederikson Family on the Island.
The indeterminated situation, who owns how much needed to be cleared.
The remaining unsetteled areas were divided in 1715 within the Kronstadt Compact.

The Kronstadt Compact

A quarter of the Island belonged to the royal family of the Zollernmark,
a third was owned by the Frederikson Dynasty.
The other third was sold and given to new settlers.
The Walker Family, who made a fortune with plantations
on the Island purchased ca. a sixth of the Island.

The Island was declared as an official colony of the Kingdom Zollermark.
From now on a Governor was the head of the Island.
(In the Zollermark the governor was referred to as the viceroy)
The citizens were able to elect a Senate, which was able to submit bills to the Governor
The governor was officially appointed by the King of the Zollermark,
and who was the only one able to dispose him/her.
Practically the Frederikson Dynasty held the thorn of the Island until 1807.

This period, from 1715 until 1807 is called the Frederikson Era.
It was the time, that the Family power was on its peak.
But some heavy conflicts came up.

Within the centuries the powerful Walker Dynasty purchased 1/3 of the Island.
They bought a big part of the royal estate in 1798.
In 1809 the Dynasty hold more than 50%,
they enlarged their fortune with plantations, sea trading

In 1815 Benjamin Alexander Walker married the only daughter
and remaining inheritor of the Frederikson Family, Christiane Louise Frederikson.

In 1816 William Walker was born,
he became the governor in 1834.
Under him the Walker Family owned 5/6 of the Island.
In 1817 he declared the Kronstadt Compact as invalid.

An new agreement was signed in Friedrichstadt in 1818.
From then on the Walker Family choose the governor.
The Island was also renamed in Walker's Island.

Within the next Updates we will visit the glorious Capital of Walker's Island, Frederikshaven.
Frederikshaven was founded in 1588 by settlers from the Zollernmark.
We will take a closer look on the history another day.
Frederikshaven is also called Port Frederikson in the English-speaking part of Walker's Island.

Today we will visit two of the most frequented sights of Walker's Island:
The Rhûn Cathedral and the Walker Palace (former Frederikson Palace)

Rhûn Cathedral

The Rhûn Cathedral is the biggest Church on the island,
even though it was never used as one.
It was built from 1826 to 1842 to celebrate the golden wedding anniversary
of Christiane Louise Frederikson-Walker and Benjamin Alexander Walker.
But Benjamin walker never saw the completed  building,
he died one year before the grand opening
and was buried inside the church.

@bat: Thanks, I'm glad you like it.

@Madeira: Those compliments should go to
praiodan for the palace and to frogface for the cathedral.

@Joan: I created all those lots in the LE yes.
Thanks for your kind words.

@Strechnitz: I'm glad you like the palace as well as the interior.
Everything is choosen by our godlike Holiness Karen Walker.
To answer your queston about the Private Detective:
Her Holiness has (of course)
the whole power over police and the secret service.
The private detective works just in the palace and nowhere else,
and the secret service works internationally.
The detective was hired after an "incident"
In 2004 there Karen Walker got up very early (around 11am).
When she walked down to the breakfast hall,
she noticed that there were only 200 Croissants instead of 201.
Normally her Holiness eats first and then everyone else,
who works in the palace can eat from the huge buffet.
But this time someone ate an Croissant before she stood up.
A private detective was hired to solve this case.
In the end he found out, that a maid took a croissant.
since she was new and thought noone would ever notice.
The people of Walker's Island were shocked
that someone could be so impudent.
She was fired and sentenced to 5years in prison, but her
good-natured generous holiness pardoned her.

@praiodan: Her divinity spends most of the year in the palace :)
I'm glad you like it. And thanks for creating the palace!

The topic of today's update is LaRochelle Island,
wich is located just a 20minutes ferry ride south of Frederikshaven.
Due to this prime location it is well known
retreat area for the 200.000 inhabitants of Frederikshaven.

The Island itself is a classified as a PCL (Protected Cultural Landscape) since 1987.
This includes, that the Island's appearance needs to stay the way it is,
that's why you still find plantations and wide jungles on LaRochelle.

The last big real estate project, that has been realised is the Plantation Village.
A dozen mansions was built into a former mango tree plantation.
The project started in 1986, one year before every other project was stopped
in favor of the PCL programm.

@all: I hope you like LaRochelle Island. There is still a lot to do in Frederikshaven.
There is an sneak preview of the Capital included in this update, but it is hidden :P
I don't think it is too difficult to find it though.
PS: I hope you all like the new 1st post. I left all the DA stuff out,
since the Antilles are closed for good. :)

@Ennedi: Great, that you found your way to Walker's Island.
@belfastuniguy: Thanks to you as well!
@kimcar: Thanks for your kind words.
@emilin: The remote beaches are always the nicest ones.
There is a boat shuttle to the beach every 30min, so it's not that lonely. :P
@bat: Thank you very much!
@Dave: Yeah I'm not so good at bigger cities,
that's why there are only 260.000inhabitants on the whole island. $%Grinno$%
@Joan: There have been several inquiries, if the beach could be developed.
But it did not pass the Senate. Thanks for your nice comment.
@Robin :Thanks to you as well, I'm glad you like it.
@nova vesfalo: The parkings are for the tourist,
who visit the beach, and also for the inhabitants who come to the shops by car.
I'm glad you like the Island anyway :)

@all: I recently work on Maya Beach.
You will find fields and plantations;
white, long beaches; but also suburban homes.
Here is a little preview.

Maya Beach

Maya Beach is a district within the city of Frederikshaven,
located between Frederikshaven to the east,
Josiah's Bay (http://sc4devotion.com/forums/index.php?topic=389.msg54913#msg54913) to the west, the 
Pacific Ocean to the south, and the Nagon Mountains to the north.
The area currently has about 15,000 residents.

It is a very affluent and primarily residential area,
with a mixture of large private homes,
small (usually older) houses, condominiums, and some apartments.
It has a small central business district on Southside Boulevard--
consisting of restaurants, stores, banks, and offices.
It also includes some large parklands and many hiking trails.
Maya Beach is also known as "Where The Mountains Meet the Sea."

I applied to the SCJu two times (the last time a couple of weeks ago) but i didn't get any answer.
So there is maybe someone who can help me...
