Wellcome to my very first MD - Rainbow Falls. Rainbow Falls is "
hand terraformed" region wich will develope as I go, meaning, that you shall be able to see the region/cities as they are right now. With updates I shall sometimes or often return to cities already presented to give them a chance to develope furthermore.
The mods that I am using are: CAM (for the very first time),
NAM with its plugins,
Italian Terrain Mod and in the cases of serious crysis a
BSC Funding mod (usualy in the very first city in the region or when trying to figure out how to lay the transportation) and some others that change the lightning and edges and such things.
Before I realy start this MD I have to say thanks to all the creators who made all the wonderful things for SC4. You guys are great! Thank you!And now, without further ado, I give you:(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fshrani.si%2Ff%2F3a%2FZk%2F4NYapXbz%2Frainbow-falls.jpg&hash=60f41ebff111f236120a0b6a6a1c367ad7457041)
Rainbow Falls is land lost in space and time, some even say that it only exist in the dreams (may it be nightmare or those of sweeter nature).
And old legend says that long, long, long time ago strange beings landed on the planet called Gaia. There they seen crude, uncivilized ape-people. After not much of discusion they decided to catch few of the creatures and take them back on their home planet Nah-rueh-ion. Soon after arrival the epidemy of Fluxenflexhickups totaly erased the entire population... but ape-people were imune and survived, left to wander and evolve in this new world.
There is no sigh left, that the natives of Nah-rueh-ion actualy realy existed BUT the some more open-minded scientist believe that their cities were woven with their immensive psyhical powers out of thin air. What is true and what is not we shall probably never learn... but who knows...
Rainbow Falls in most aspects resembles to what became of Gaia and the new race of Nahruehions that evolved from the simple ape-people strangly resembles to Erthlings. It is strange but true.
Before I show you the very first city of Rainbow Falls, I need to say that this regions political order is monarchy.
This is the Rainbow Falls crest:

Newhaven is the very first city that evolved in Rainbow Falls. Its founder is Merzibeth Ironfist, the queen herself.(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fshrani.si%2Ff%2FA%2Ffh%2FQmQ303k%2Fregion.jpg&hash=0ade331cab5bb340411a01791c8f77fc2f84f7b0)
There is not much to say about the city. It is at early stages of developetment with some dirty industry at the brink of the border wich is drasticaly polluting the enviroment. But the queen said that it shall not stay as such forever. Eventualy the dirty industry shall be driven out and replaced with agroculture with addition of some medium and high tech industry when the subjects stop being stupid as in stone age.
The most significant thing to see in this city is queens castle, but that shall be shown at the end. Lets first have a glimps on the city itself:(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fshrani.si%2Ff%2FM%2Fn9%2F2l0WRjwp%2Facity.jpg&hash=245bb8835057a3c21b2956631057768d9d4ffe61)

Ohh, this is absolutely not my last visit to Rainbow Falls, I like it very much. Newhaven Castle looks awesome and the overview shot is astonishing.
Very nice start. The town and surrounding areas look nice. I like how you focused on the various civil services and the castle is exceptional. The level of detail you put into it really makes it look good. I'll look forward to seeing what else you will come up with.
Hello, Lilojame! Welcome to the MD section!
You are definitely off to a marvelous start here in Rainbow Falls! There are some spectacular shots here! Just spectacular!
I will be on the lookout for more!

You've presented some unique and interesting elements here, Lilojame. Very impressive overview, and the neighborhoods look great. I've never been a big fan of industry, but it's a necessity and you've done a good job of presenting it. The map is beautiful, and it will be a pleasure to watch as it develops. Love the region name, too! :)
Later...

Great teaser, I`ll be back for your next update! ;)
Nice city, previous update looks good, but industrial area would be better if you'll make lots, "basiclly" zoning (I hope I wrote this understoodly :P) Teaser looks good. But what makes here the grid, huh? :P

Hi!
It is time for
first update. Today we shall travel to the Trinity Falls, wich is located just east from Newhaven. But before the Rainbow Falls Airlines carry us there a word or two from our sponsors:
1st Personal Replays shall be done within the next teaser-time.
2nd Industry: yes and yes but keep in mind that the first city is in-fact THE first city build. It definetly lacks in diversity but well, it is my very first time that I am playing with CAM instaled. :)
And now, it is time to travel!

Trinity Falls is not realy a city, it is more like a village. It is the second "city" that developed is Rainbow Falls wich now consist of two "cities" only for the time being.
People in Trinity Falls like the quiet life.

If you seen a teaser then you are already aware that the Rainbow Falls experience the rain for the very first time. It is modest to say, that that was more than the land itself could manage for it was rainning for 6 months without even stoping.
The resoult of this weather were massive floods that destroyed almost everything. The citizens of Trinity Falls and Newhaven took refugee to a small, and to that time unknown, village of Nestwek.
In this short period of 6 months, the migration of population caused the village to grow from the little village to the city.
On the picture of Rainbow Falls you shall notice drastic difference between the one shown in the first update. But dont be fooled, for the land shall not stay as it is presented. The weather reports for Rainbow Falls claim, that in the future few months there shall be increase in the temparature and most of the waters shall evaporate. The queen already announced that the rebuilding of Newhaven shall start as soon as possible.

Fantastic pictures, great work on the effects there! I really enjoy your MD, keep up the good work!!! ;)
You're doing an exceptional job on Rainbow Falls, Lilojame. I enjoy having a little storyline in the background, and the photos showing a lingering fog enhance it. Goodness, you've even made the garbage dump look a lot better and more realistic than most! The neighborhoods look great and I'm always a big fan of night shots and overviews. And there's even an amusement park among the "ruins!"
I'm definitely looking forward to seeing where you go with this MD.

The warming already dryed up the lands of Rainbow Falls and the queen decreed that the rebuilding of Newhaven should start imediatly. Former residents of Trinity Falls erent to happy with that decision since the would prefer if the first town on a "rebuild list" would be theirs but at the end they had no choice other as to give in and wait in line.

Wow, page 3 already. :o First I want to say thank you to all who are so nice to leave their comments. I shall, as always, replay to each and every of you at the next teaser time.
Today, to comemorate page 3 of Rainbow Falls, we shall have a bit longer update that usualy, meaning that you shall have a chance to see few extra pictures. At this point I have a question for you, respected visitors: what do you prefer... the updates with the amount of pictures as were done till now or updates with the amount of pictures that you will see in this update? :)In this update we shall first look at the Rainbow Falls new regional picture. It is obvious that the town of Trinity Falls has still problems with the excessive waters gathering around it but the Newhaven was dry enaugh to rebuild.

The queen noticed that the waters that were shrouding the Newhaven land evaporated enaugh for the rebuilding to start. The workers were buisy, there was no strain on the budget wich was generously provided by the queen herself and people moved back in. Actualy we can say, that even more people come to live in the rebuilded Newhaven. At the latest citizen-counting they wrotte down Newhavens 27.774th soul.

I've probably said here before, and I'm sure that I'll say it here again, but it sums things up so perfectly!
Your Photoshop skills are only surpassed by the amount of detail and time that goes into your work in the game. You've created such picturesque rural landscapes, that I would love to see what they look like before you raise the bar even further with Photoshop!
As for the length of the updates, I vote for whatever you are comfortable with, and what you feel will be best for the update and for you. If it's like this update, great! If it's like the others, well that's great, too!
I'll be looking forward to your next update, my friend!
Take care!
Dustin
&apls &apls Wow fantastic work over there. Very pictural scenery and what about your City Hall of Newhaven so cool and very well done. I like those surprise. Keep it up :thumbsup:
Another fantastic update, LiloJame! The overview is beautiful, and I love the Fall of Tears. The neighborhoods are certainly attractive, and the CBD looks good. too. I notice you've used some diagonals without overdoing it, and I like that. The farms look good, too - I like the way you've laid them out - and I love the overviews. The highlights at the end are an especially nice touch.
You have taken an unusual and very pleasing approach to MDing, and I hope Rainbow Falls will be around for a long time to come!
Joan
Wonderful update! I really like all the green space in your suburbs, and the landscaping is well thought out. I also think the size of your update should be what feels best to you, and conveys what you want it to. I'm looking forward to more! :thumbsup:
Due to inspiring comments I decided to do a special "mini" update today. You shall see nothing more and nothing less than a waterfall. These kinds of waterfalls I dont do often since they are very hard on my computer wich can hadle up to 6 "water drops" plops with ease but if I go over that limit... :-[ After this update I shall also do a "Personal Responses" part.
So without further ado I give you:(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi34.tinypic.com%2F2rp7404.jpg&hash=c558d93a77e2f6561084d940799d31d4d5922035)
Todays update shall be divided into 3 parts:
1st I will show you a up to this date regional transport map and pintpoint the location of waterfall
2nd I will show you pictures of the waterfall that were NOT photoshoped (besides the frame)
3rd shall be eye-candy and also the most important part of the update with the PS-ed pictures.
So lets check the transportation map first:(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi37.tinypic.com%2F25z41sl.jpg&hash=870770c3a6369ec4abfb90398b591e25957547d6)
As you can see the transportation network is slovly yet stadily evolving.
And now lets see to wich place in Rainbow Falls we shall travel today:(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi36.tinypic.com%2Fvopq3t.jpg&hash=3d50cc398eb5e74ff90e7367b8d6e7ba41f533ec)

Thank you for comenting the teaser and thank you very very much for a wonderful comment on the Update 3! I am glad that I didnt take pictures of the first streets that I layed down when I first got the NAM and SAM etc. It was diagonals all over. ::) :D Now I try to use them only when I feel it would be suitable. But I need to say that laying roads/rail is my weakest spot, sadly, probably because I didnt figured out yet what exactly to do with RHW and all those plugins... %confuso Anyhow... I am very glad that you like my work thus far and I can say with certancy that Rainbow Falls shall be here and growing up as long as the SC4D Community will be interested in it.

Wow fantastic two update here, your waterfalls look good
And your city is super &apls
Lilojame all I got to say is fantastic!!! WOW!!!!
The photos - both raw and PSed - are just gorgeous, Lilojame. I have looked back through them several times and find something new and fascinating each time. I especially like the way you have used elements like rocks, foliage and logs. Those things are so easy to overuse, but yours look perfectly natural.
BTW, may I ask which terrain mod and tree controller you are using?
Joan
Beautiful waterfalls, Lilojame! Just absolutely beautiful!
Can't wait to see more!
Dustin
I have been lurking in the back ground of your MD for a while now and I figure it's time to jump out.
Your waterfalls look very nice, especially the close ups and I would hope that you could challenge in the SC4 Picture Contest when the chance comes up. I really think you would do well.
Robin :thumbsup:
I'm very impressed. It reminds me of West Virginia,but with out the hillbillies. :P
Hi all! I am sorry for this "late" post from me but I have to deal with some serious RL things beside playing SC4 and making MD... but I am very sure that you all understand that.
So today I shall first to some "personal responses" to those of you who are so nice to comment in here and after that I have for you a tiny teaser...(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi35.tinypic.com%2F2v28vt0.jpg&hash=ee4ec95df62a05eac9cb881bf77a1824dd4f461e)

Hope to see you here again! kimcar :Hello! Thank you very much! ()stsfd() But yes, I do have my weak spots and that is mostly "laying trynsportations" wich I also find one of most important features; but hopefully I will get a hang of that in future. :-[ Hope you shall visit RF again! art128 :Hi!

I am using Italian Terrain mod wich I simply adore and as for three controler I have also Italia River tree controler instaled but I actualy dont use the "god mode trees planting" so I plant the trees from the mayor mode of gameplay. Hope to see you here again! thundercrack83 :Hi Dustin! Thank you very much! Hopefuly I will be able to buy new and stronger PC after New Year so that I will be able to do more waterfalls...

For todays teaser I dont have an in-game picture due to the fact I didnt had time to play yesterday or today yet due to RL and due to the fact that I had to arrange and compress my plugins folder (YEY for the DataPacker!).

Great work there on the previous updates there! And wonderful pictures of your really great region! It is looking fantastic! :thumbsup:
Stunning teaser, Lilojame. It shows the impact of devastation in a subtle way which could not be accomplished in a dozen "ordinary" photos.
Indeed, perhaps "subtle" is the word I've been searching for when I look at your work. Understated elegance is emerging as your strength, and it sets Rainbow Falls apart from the crowd.
Later...
Joan
Lilojame,
I absolutely love visiting Rainbow Falls. The first thing that is incredible is I love your viewing angle on the region. It is as if I am a wondering person that just came over a mountain and over look the region, BEAUTIFUL!!! The Return to Innocence series was wonderful; I love nature but do not have the hang of creating it in SC4 so when someone like you does it well I am inspired. Once again, great MD!!!
And as promissed I shall give you Update 4 today. Before we start I have to say that I had a little misfortune today with rebuilding Trinity Falls, meaning, the city already grown again and then, just when I remebered I should save it, my computer went on random restart. So even if Trinity Falls was officialy rebuilded for the 1st time, it was in fact for the 2nd. ::)So today we shall first visit the new, improved Trinity Falls and after that some "personal responses" shall be done.(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi36.tinypic.com%2Fauehvm.jpg&hash=219db313547b612e62319e85751ab463aed9eedd)
Before we actualy travel to Trinity Falls we shall check the updated transportation map of Rainbow Falls:(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi36.tinypic.com%2F2cp9wtk.jpg&hash=2c72e6096bf0cdcf3c4be11d3b97177660bdf074)
It is not yet truly visible but regardles the Days of Rain wich slowed the "evolution" of Rainbow Falls, they finaly discovered the railroads! For now only one line lays and hum-um the people have no idea what the tracks are for nor how to travel on them.
One of the more adventurous citizens tryed to drive his brand new shiny car on the tracks... ??? Regardless to say it was totaly destroyed. ::) He then claimed the insurance from local insurance agency but... well... they said "NO!" since the circumstances in wich the car was destroyed were totaly ridicules and not included in insurance policy. $%Grinno$%And now, I believe we should check how the region of Rainbow Falls actualy looks now, after all that excesive water evaporated:(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi35.tinypic.com%2F2pza9ua.jpg&hash=7d4ada5e523e7688f57cdad20c49d90081ecce64)

"Trinity Falls was the last city we had to rebuild..." said the queen on her interview that was held on RF1-radio station. "Now we can finaly move on and start expanding our beloved Rainbow Falls," she aded. On the question what are her plans for the future she answered : " I had a vision tonight... after a 30th glass of whisky... I have seen a bright letters before me... and they formed a word... no, 2 words... Lakeshore City!"
Lets leave the queen to her delusions and white mouses and check the NOT PS-ed pictures (beside the frame) of rebuilded Trinity Falls:(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi34.tinypic.com%2F10r3dcp.jpg&hash=ce2c3a32d046c7b9b008c3cadad8d886b5dae9ac)

Well I truly honestly believe if I am not mistaken at all Sincitybaby is correct in the answers!!!!
In all except one. (It might be a typo tho, so IF everybody else agrees, if nobody else answers correctly to all till tomorrow, then at that time Sincitybaby shall win)
Well as it seems that there might be a problem and I think I have all the correct answers here I go with my crack at it....
- Nah-rueh-ion
- Merzibeth Ironfist
- queens castle
- The Riding School
- It had forced the Residents of Trinity Falls and Newhaven to take refugee to a small and at the time unknown, village of Nestwek
- The Queen had ordered the capture and execution of the scientist involved
- The artist was Lion Ardo Da Vin Chee
- The first city was Newhaven
- Special Update is "The Return to Innocence"
- 30th glass of whisky
- Next city is Lakeshore City
- 13 falls by my count as well
Here is a little unofficial Sneak-A-Peak of the custom-lotted park under construction (as in game as in LE for now) that shall be named by the winner:

And before I plunge myself back into LE (forgot to do some pieces): The Trivia Game is still opened since for now there are no guaranties that all the answers are correct, but regardless to say, that in both collections of answers resides the same mistake, so if in hours to come nobody tries, the winner would be simply the first who posted. ??? ;)
EDITED AFTER PAT POSTED (Reply #77) IN ORDER TO NOT INCREASE THE POST COUNT:
THE WINNER OF THE 1ST TRIVIA IS Sincitybaby!!! BUT since Pat give it a try also he will get a consolaton reward neverthless!!!
The Update shall be done till monday (the reason for latness is that I need some quality time with kids and I had to fix some issues with my Plugins Folder...) Stay Tuned!!!
Wow, sincitybaby!
That is quite the haul there, my friend!
And Lilojame--brilliant work putting together this trivia contest! I hope that it will be come a repeater here in Rainbow Falls!
Take care!
Dustin
That is looking real good there Lilojame!!!
EDIT: Karin I cant wait till monday to see the new update and you have a wonderful weekend and stay safe!!!!

Wellcome to my very first MD ...
Hi
Lilojame ,
Aren't you
Naryanna , a woman from Slovenia too who has 2 MDs in the
Inactive MDs section ? (Ethernia & LoreenyLienns ... )
The resemblance of style is amazing ... and despite the fact these 2 MDs have only one page each , the style was so striking that I didn't forget them .
No matter ... that means I can say otherwise than your style is striking , not seen since Naryanna .... and the mirror of a great imagination ! :thumbsup:
&apls &apls &apls
Badsim : Actuly you were almost correct. She is my sister. =)
Lilojame
I would like to thank you for this honor!!! This park shall be built in my capital city as a tribute to those who lost their lives in the Days of Rain.
Best Regards...and keep up the amazing work!
Congratulations to the Trivia winners, sincitybaby and Pat. Wish I'd been able to play, but I've had to budget time toward different areas these past few days. Looking forward to seeing the park in game, and hoping to spend more time in the forums soon.
Later...
Joan
This is looking incredible my friend, superb work &apls &apls

In todays update we shall travel to Lakeshore City for the first time and yet, we shall not yet see the city itself (due to the fact that it is still more of a "giant construction yard" than a city). So presentation of Lakeshore City is broken up into two parts.So let me invite you to the first part:(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi37.tinypic.com%2F24dh5kj.jpg&hash=962ce5a09130079b2003c6b6e87bef9265cac36b)

Congratulation Sincitybaby and dont forget to replay on the PM if you desire to get the package (btw. the "golf pack" is not included). Oh, and if you decide that you dont want to have this pack let me know also (it would save me from packing and testing etc.)

nominated in " Best Rural MD"! :thumbsup:
Hope to see you here again!Earth quake : Hi there! Thank you very much for your comment on update 4. I hope you shall visit RF again!NASCAR_Guy : Hello there! I am glad to catch your attention. More Trivia is yet to come in future (and a harder one). ;) Thanks for explaining the word "hillbillies". Hm, well, there is a strange mixure of people in RF, so I am not sure if you are completly right on that statement. I hope that your attention shall be caught again in future.kimcar : Hi there! I am glad that you werent dissapointed and I hope that that stays the same in future. ;) Hope that you will find your way here again!Badsim : Hi! Let me first say that I am glad that you found your way here and that I am grateful for your opinion of this MD. I already pm-ed you about things concerning Naryanna. She told me to say "hi" to you. Anyhow, I sincerly wish that you will visit RF again!About Naryanna: I already pm-ed David (dedgren) about her and explain things so this matter is closed as far I am consirned. But regardless that I do feel that this wonderful community deserves an explenation, so here it is:
Naryanna is my sister who beside being very creative has some disordes. I shall not go into details about that since it is a family matter and I feel that with explaining about her inner-problems would violate her privacy. But since she did some things that I didnt know about until this day, I also need to point them out, sadly. So to make the long story short: I did provide her with pictures of my work, the editing, writting and posting was her work tho. I did know that she was making a diary but I didnt know that she made two here also. In any case, the LoreenyLiens and Ethernia are not my work (same goes for any CJ that she did on Simtropolis). The problem here (at least I personaly see it as one) is that she, as she told me hersef this week, used and explain to other people about my life, my kids, my situation and even my real name. This is serious and we are dealing with that as we speak. But on other hand, her life is limited and I believe that she didnt do this out of malice or anything similar but from a simple wish that she wouldnt have the life she has with the problems she has and even if my life is a mess it still apealed her more than hers. I hope, that her state of mind improvess in future and that she will be able to return on this and any other sites but this time as her real her for I know, that she loved time spend here and on other sites. Regardless of what she did and in what position she puted me, she is still my sister wich I at least try to understand and wich I love. If any of the people that she was privetly or on any other way comunicated with has any questions or meerly wish me to say something to her, please, do not hesitate to PM me about it but I would be very grateful, if we dont speak about this here since after all, this is a private matter.
Thank you very much for understanding.sincitybaby : Hi! Congrats again on winning the Trivia! Dont forget to replay on the pm. ;) And thank you! I hope you shall visit RF again!Jmouse : Hi Joan! I hope that you will be able to participate in next Trivias. ;) Hope to see you here again!Simpson : Hello! Thank you very much, my friend! I hope you shall walk the paths of RF again!bat : Hi! Thank you for your nice comment! I am glad you liked those updates! I hope to see you here again!Thank you all for visiting Rainbow Falls and for leaving your comments!
Lilojame far as I can see the matter is well as you said a personal matter... I understand Naryanna is your sister and OK no problem on my hands here, far as I know I don't see a problem at all... Anyway's thats a family matter like you said so to move on...
Your talents are very grand here with the update and with sincitybaby's park and my plaza!!! Thank you sooo very much!!!!! I cant wait to see more!!!!
Your friend,
Patrick
The park is just gorgeous, Lilojame. Your PS photos have a sort of storybook quality about them that's both appealing and unique. And Patrick's Plaza is a beauty spot as well.
The farms - oh my yes, the farms - are stunning. They are some the finest I've seen anywhere, and one more tribute to your exemplary skills.
As always, I enjoyed this visit to Rainbow Falls and hope there will be many more!
Joan
Excellent presentation of your skills both with the game and in using PS. &apls &apls

It is quite easy to do that. So here is a quick pic-by-pic "tutorial" on changing the perspective:First you put the picture on the second layer (simply use rectangle tool and copy&past it)
(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi38.tinypic.com%2Fj5a1ad.jpg&hash=74fd0f75b27883d737cd12d29bc178bb604d93e9)
After that you go to "Edit -> Transform -> Perspective" as seen on picture and click it.
(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi33.tinypic.com%2Fsnkrvq.jpg&hash=4b2ba5dbc01c78ac51277c0340905f12c4b0db9c)
Now the "transforming dots" appear as you can see on picture.
(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi35.tinypic.com%2F2hwcuc5.jpg&hash=0f23e858406f7f3966f4fd0aebd9a8ba4964098e)
Now click&hold on one of those dots and drag it outwards or inwards from the frame (in picture I draged left dot outwards):

You see that the "help-frame" changes and so does the perspective. Now the only thing that you need to do still is click on "Commit transform" button that is marked on picture:

And "voila" you have succesfully transformed the picture:

I hope that this helps. ;)

I would also like to point out at this moment, that all that I do know about the photo-manipulations is not thought out of tutorials but with simple "play with and try what happends". :D Thank you for moving us to the Best Sellers. :) I have to say, that when I came on I went into Recently Publish and at first I was like "Hm... ()what() where is my MD?". $%Grinno$% Hope to see you in here again!
Thank you M4346 and thank you for landing the 100th post!!! I am still thinking about apropriate reward for that, so if you have any wish regarding that, feel free to pm me. ;) Hope to see you here again!Hi art128 and thank you very much! Hope that you will stop by again!Hi flyinbird93! You are welcome! I was lucky enaugh to learn about this trick over on a page where I have my gallery (oil paintings and such) since I had to learn this in order to fix the photographies of my work. Looking foward of seeing you again!Hello kelis and thank you very much! Hope to hear from you again!Before I return back on my "project under construction" let me again express a sincere "thank you" to each and all of you who shown the support to Rainbow Falls. A "thank you" extends also to all the lurkers out there!
The creativity you display is extraordinary!!!! Congrats on the move to Best Sellers! I only wish I had discovered this MD earlier than I had!
Jayson
&apls &apls Hey my friend , let me congrats you for be on the Best Sellers section :thumbsup: With an MD like yours it`s what sure that it`s gonna be one of the must to see. I`m very happy for you. BTW sorry i didn`t had time to post on the last update , but still piece of art. Outstanding park and excellent work again. And i will check your link often for see what new on it :thumbsup:
Hey Karin I love your website there!!!! to respond to your respone, I was joking around and I know I help nominate you for "Best Newcomer", I know there had to be others that did the same but hey what can I say ;)
Anyways A congrats to M for posting the 100 reply here... Also I gotten the dependency pack for the park, so you know if you added the ICON pic to "LOT" you don't need to included the pics at all... But if the end user has to change the icons then yes you would need to add the pics as well... Something to help you save a step...
catch you on the next update
Pat
Congratulations on making it to the Best Sellers, my friend!
With the great stuff going on here in Rainbow Falls, I'm sure your stay here will be short and you'll be headed to the Classics!
Take care!
Dustin
Congratulations on making it to the Best Seller's category, and doing it so quickly. Now I'm looking forward to seeing the content on your new Web site - great idea.

Wonderful! I really enjoyed your slideshow! &apls
this update is wonderful Karin, excellent work as always &apls
Very enjoyable slide show, the music was almost too relaxing, I feel like I should go to sleep now. $%Grinno$%
Great work.
Robin :thumbsup:
Thanks all! I will do replays later...
This is not a teaser nor and update, it is just some strange thing ??? that I am working on and I would like to hear some thoughts about it from you.

Strange and silly, right? ::)
Hi Karin
Emmm yep strange and silly.
But not the slideshow $%Grinno$%
That was spectacular. &apls &apls
In fact I made another cuppa just so I can go back and look at it again. ;D
Made one for you too, here you go

My favourite shot was the one of the Riding School jump training area or at least that's what it seemed to me. Wonderful choice of music too. How very appropriate ;D
In fact you've given me some ideas - thanks for that :thumbsup:
Looking forward to what you have in store for us next :D

I have to revert back to my previous post and , again say I'm in awe of your creativity! Great slides how! &apls
And , yes that model is a little strange.
Jayson
&apls &apls Geez Karin that was an excellent update. Very original your slideshow and great farming zone that you have done. Thanks for the link you gave us for your lots. Can`t wait for see what you gonna do next. ;D
LoL Karin you are right about strange and silly but none the less I am very intrested to see what that devolps and turns out to be!!!!
Hi all! It is time for a new teaser. After that replays shall be done. (https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi37.tinypic.com%2F2iiu2if.jpg&hash=f7665dbf963a93a26f235ad4a2fcb452cef7d421)
Lakeshore City is not yet finished but it is growing up and here is how it loks at this precise time:(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi38.tinypic.com%2F2rnxymv.jpg&hash=7cb221fa3c4dd28a8d1b907d454e64904565307d)
But I didnt started this post just to show you a teaser picture, there are two more things to cover with it. Lets first move to:(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi35.tinypic.com%2F6eg8m0.jpg&hash=6e9bcbd26011977dffe976b02e7ecf80b2750136)
As you all probably know by now, Rainbow Falls has its own web page Rainbow Falls out of the Box. On that page, besides the downloads, it is also situated Rainbow Falls National Gallery. The Artists Committee first wanted to fill the Gallery with works upon wich they would decide but the Queen casted a veto and after long hours of negotiating they agreed that, the Artist Committer shall randomly pick 2 pictures from a bunch. The final vote on wich of the chosen pictures will end in Rainbow Falls National Gallery shall be yours only.
The time for the voting is until the next update. So here are the first two from which you can chose:(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi38.tinypic.com%2Fb81qv5.jpg&hash=8c0f62f9e62b14a43efcd0064a91d958307d3d87)
So please cast your vote until the next update!And so we came to the next subject that needs to be covered:(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi38.tinypic.com%2F2a9ywcl.jpg&hash=389d741174ddbf494b101d23e8fd6f0f10bb259b)
Again, if you checked the Rainbow Falls Out of the Box, you probably noticed that Rainbow Falls also have a Gazette going on. Now, what you dont know yet is, that the Gazette is looking for new Reporters for their Foreign Correspondents. Why would this be of any interest for you? Because this is your chance to become one!!! All you need to do is write an article (maybe add a picture) about the going-ons in your Region or whatever else comes on your mind and then send me a PM with it. In the shortest possible time that shall be added into Gazette!
So that leads to the last subject for this post:(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi33.tinypic.com%2F2ut3kll.jpg&hash=b07724af81d29b3d636bf775748612336d88960f)
Hey Pat! Thanks, I am glad that you liked the slideshow! Haha, just as I wanted to post this... yep, the model looks wacky. :D
Hi Joan! Thank you very much for your words! I am glad that you like the slideshow!
Hello owlsinger! Thanks you, I am glad that you liked it!
Hey Arthur! Thank you very much!Hi Robin! Thank you! Haha, yes, try to imagine how sleepy I got while I was composing it together! $%Grinno$% The next one shall be a bit more wild. ;D

Yea, I thought that that looks strange and silly. $%Grinno$% I am glad that you liked the slideshow, tho, and you are right, it was a part of Riding School. You are welcome, I am glad if you got an idea for something from here!
Hi Jayson! Thank you very much! I am glad that you liked the slideshow. Hehe, well, my thoughts confirmed. :D
Hi kimcar! Thank you! I am glad that you liked the slideshow (why do I feel like repeating myself :D) and you are welcome on the link. ;)[/i]
Thank you all for visiting and commenting! And hey, dont forget to vote on the picture or/and write an article! ;)
I say pic 2!
Hey Karin I really liked the teaser here tonight and the pic I would personally choose is also # 2 as well...
great teaser Karin, good work &apls and I said picture 2 too ;)
"big" buildings starts growing :D
I've been lurking :-[ in this MD for a little while, but I've officially been lured out of lurking. :) You have created a pleasant MD, Karin. Lakeshore City looks really good, and the video is very enjoyable. Keep up the great work, Karin. By the way, I vote for picture #1, even though it's against the consensus.
&apls
Niiiiceee,
Wow my friend, your city is looking good. I love the picture with waterfalls, it's really realitic :o
it looks like a toy! Should be part of a toy company building like toys r us or somem :)
I haven't commented here yet, but I've been lurking for the last little while. There are some amazing pictures here! I also really liked the slideshow. :thumbsup: I'm sure I'll be back here many times whenever I need some peace and serenity. :)
JB
hmm does this forum experience the PFB as well like simtropolis? I didn't see those shots last time i was here :D Wonderfull overview shot of that city. great start to it :)
Just incredible stuff here, Lilojame!
Rainbow Falls gets more and more fantastic with each visit!
Keep up the good work, my friend!

Yep, it is finally here... I am sorry for not doing it sooner but I simply had to do few bats, special updates and taking care fro my family. So I suggest we move on...

Today we shall travel to Lakeshore City, this time not to look at the park but to check the city itself. So, the update shall consist of two parts, in 1st one you shall see some pictures of the city and in second, you will be asked to click on picture and look at the slideshow.
But before we actualy go into Lakeshore city, I must declare the the picture for Gallery has been choosen and it is No. 2. It shall be moved on to honorably place by tomorrow.
Lets also check how the region looks now:(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi35.tinypic.com%2Fadj4w0.jpg&hash=b97846067cc27acee3b80bdf3ca0b0e030915f85)

As you shall notice, Lakeshore City is not just some little town but is thriving mostly on the commercials, People are highly eduvated, their health plan is almost perfect, the crime is minimum, the traffic flow smooth, the pollution almost non-existant. The queen is pleased with its citizens but still yearns for more. But lets leave the "good" old queen to her matters and have a little tour:

The latest slideshow is truly impressive. The night shots look great, and I am also pleased with the cloud effect in the last two daytime pictures.
As promised we shall have The Return to Innocence update today. To this day (todays update not included) Rainbow Falls had 10 updates (6 regular ones, 1 trivia, 1 return to innocence as special update and 2 extra special ones).
But enough of chit-chat, lets travel in a yet unknown part of Rainbow Falls. (https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi36.tinypic.com%2F23h8ugw.jpg&hash=418db787e3441760af6d430acedf08f216c3184d)
The queen decided that it is time to explore the borders of her small kingdom. In order to do so, she first sent ahead few most trusted and respected scouts:(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi34.tinypic.com%2F160zmsk.jpg&hash=4b27919168950963b6a2df3662b90322d96dbb39)
The most recognized and honored by the Rainbow Falls is Six-Sky Running-Wolf who is often found in secret conversations with the queen (there are some in her court that look at that from the high ground and with suspicion) :(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi35.tinypic.com%2Fw1cx84.jpg&hash=9202a8a36b1cb5640a01c538a5bad253e2b00ca8)
After the scouts have return, the queen decided to send ahead some roads builders to make the travel and explorations easier:(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi35.tinypic.com%2F2cy4kkw.jpg&hash=110a9878d36b1b9330bece1b7aef1f1856adeceb) (https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi35.tinypic.com%2F125439f.jpg&hash=d964d20904f622cecc68cebf97198676a4f343b6)
But then something occurred there in the forests where the builders were laying the roads. All of them disappeared. After few weeks of no word from them, the queen again send the scouts out to find out what happend. Six-Sky Running-Wolf reported back, that they found a settlement:(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi36.tinypic.com%2F24ow07a.jpg&hash=e363853ec37bbf94a8d80dbc647c4c8b4bf2a391)
The queen is still deciding what to do and discussing the subject with her loyal Six-Sky Running-Wolf.
In the meantime, I am inviting you, to travel in the new explored land of Rainbow Falls:(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi33.tinypic.com%2Fu6moz.jpg&hash=7ce1bfbf6b7896bf33d803cb3820072d4a08c182)

I hope you have enjoyed todays update!
Thank you very much for visiting and commenting! The personal responds shall be done in the next "teaser time", stay tuned!
Hello Karin,
I didn't visit SC4D very often last few months and I was absent when Rainbow Falls was began - sorry! But now I'm here and I just spent a nice hour in your magic world :)
I love night and day panorams of Trinity Falls! Great work with the perspective, softening the landscape and the really dramatic sky - and beautiful final effect! These two pictures are for me the essence of the specific Rainbow Falls climate.
I like the Return to Innocence picture series, and the Lakeshore City - Park du Sincitybaby is fantastic!
I saw your today's slideshow too and I like it a lot. Nice music - Enigma?... :)
Of course many of our SC4 friends are less romantic and more realistic, they can say some of your pictures have a bit too "impressionist" look. But in my opinion something else is important: I said one time commenting my own MD that my main goal of creating SC4 worlds is to move the reader's imagination - and I can use many various tools to achieve it. And your work definitely wakes up readers' imagination. Your whole work, including pictures, the story and side comments. It's a great pleasure to spend a while in Rainbow Falls!
I really like and appreciate your photoshopping experiments. Your work with the mist, waterfalls (which look not too good when unedited) and water ripples (especially) is very good! But I would suggest you to make more experiments and try various effects. Photoshopping is a great adventure, you try more and more new things and you slowly come to conclusion that (exactly as in the real life :D) more subtle and more simple solutions are the best ones. Sometimes a very little editing can give a great effect. Please don't take it as a critique, I simply suggest you to play more :)
As for the perspective: It adds a lot to most of your pictures. But maybe you noticed that it works best applied to panoramas. Using perspective is not easy when you have tall buildings on a picture. It seems we should try to avoid high buildings close to the picture border, the perspective tool gives a "fish-eye lens" effect in that case. Again, my intention is only to help to improve something what is very good already :)
Good luck!
Adam
I don`t know what to said Karin . It`s gorgious &apls &apls &apls Great skill for terraforming . Music and slideshow :o :thumbsup:
Quite an impressive update, Karin. You certainly have an eye for photgraphic composition and Photoshopping. I think the fourth photo is my favorite, but the rest are certainly close contenders. It's always a pleasure to see a new Rainbow Falls update announcement in the e-mail box.
You're doing exceptional work here...
Joan
You continue to produce absolutely beautiful work here, Karin!
Everything I see here in Rainbow Falls is just a picture-perfect vision of beauty!
Magnificent, simply magnificent!

It is time to do some personal responses to your most wonderful comments and for the end, I dont have a teaser for you BUT I do have a "candy".
Lets first do replays:(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi36.tinypic.com%2F168tz7b.jpg&hash=85b7f328c72a5bc5edc5c82eaf84a360673ee3b6)
Hi Adam (Ennedi)
! I am very glad that you took your time to explore Rainbow Falls and grateful for long comment. I am glad that you liked the Trinity Falls panoramas, Lakeshore City part 1 and Return to Innocence updates. Yes, you are correct, the music in last update was Enigma - Return To Innocence. I was listening to it while I was terraforming that specific "block" and therefore decided to use the same music that was inspiring me during the work.
I am well aware, that some prefer more realistic aproaches and I could do that if I would put my mind to it but I decided agains that. Why? Well, that wouldnt be "me", it would not portray the "inner me", my way of thinking, hoping etc. I use this specific MD to portray my life, emotions and when looked closer you see that everything is not so great. For example the Lakeshore city perspective. I definetly agree, that perspectice corrections on tall buildings doesnt work good but on other hand I went for it because it subtly shows the disortions in my life, when on first glance all looks simply great but on closer examination there are things there that are simply "off".
What I try to do with this specific MD is showing the deeper parts of my ego, opening the thoughts without speaking and puting them on the wall. Creating Rainbow Falls and Rainbow Falls is a "therapy" that calmes my mind and at same time puts the "problems" right there before me, with no way to surpress or avoid them.
And besides that, yes, I try at same time also move the readers imagination and whenever I am succesfull at that, it makes me pleased.
I also have to agree with you on playing with ps. I actualy do that quite a lot and every day I learn something new. But I have some future plans for Rainbow Falls and in order to achieve them it is vital, that for now, I stick to specific look of it. When this region shall be finished, that shall not mean the end of this MD but it shall continue with another region, portraying the "darker sides" of world in wich Rainbow Falls exist. The transition from one to another shall be done as subtly as the shadows cover the landscape when sun goes down.
Do not worry, I take your words for what they really are and see good intention without you pointing it out. ;) What I will promise to you is, that I shall try to do Rainbow Falls better and your thoughts shall definetly help with that.
Thank you again for taking the time to look in here and leaving a deep footprint. I hope, that you shall return and that I shall again hear from you!
Hi kimcar! Thank you very much for your lovely comment! Hope to see you here again!
Hi Joan (Jmouse)! Thanks you very much for your kind words! Hope that you shall be again tempted to walk in RF.
Hi Dustin (thundercrack83)! Thank you very much for your lovely words! Always happy to hear from you!
And now as promissed a "candy" for all of you.
In the highest parts of Rainbow Falls it is snowing for the very first time!!! (takes a bit to load)http://shrani.si/f/42/fT/5LOL86S/karin.swf
Thank you all for visiting and leaving comments!
:o :o
I can't think of any good words to describe how incredible that is! (wait, I just did, didn't I? ::) )
I think that you have described this update quite well. In fact, this is an innocent area. It is undeveloped and there are plenty of trees. The stream is very nice, and so is the waterfall. I did watch the slideshow, and I enjoyed every minute. :) You are doing a great job, Karin. Keep it up.

I'M NOT WORTHY! haha, omg your images rock my socks off! The water falls are AH MAY ZING! To much cool stuff to comment on :D can't wait for more

Today, my dear visitors, we shall travel to not only one, but to two very little towns, almost villages. They sprung from the ground almost without anybody noticing and the people say, that they wish the towns stay as they are without any future development. The queen was first shoocked and said "No".(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi35.tinypic.com%2Fevcmtz.jpg&hash=4c36eb7f389c1ed47fc310ab47f8cde77fc9cd0d)
After a while, few of angry residentals (on the upper picture) showed before her castle and convince her to change her mind. After her official announcement to all of Rainbow Falls, that the cities can stay as they are, the people return back home where they peacefuly live and work (on the picture down).(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi34.tinypic.com%2F2w69jcn.jpg&hash=8c78884e4c64b47e2231ce54be54fb5b78f8c0ac)
Lets now travel to the first town that they defended, Ironsmall:

For the end of todays update, I do not have a slideshow but I have 3 Rainbow Falls-Flashes (it will take some time to load tho).
It was raining at night:http://shrani.si/f/1Z/11w/npRzTTy/rainynight.swf
And even during the day but somegow sun managed to penetrate the clouds neverthless:http://shrani.si/f/1s/Dq/7yuAzxb/rainyday.swf
And the good news at that is, that a little lake did not flood the surroundings but remaind peaceful:http://shrani.si/f/2d/Eo/3OGkPO6F/wawes.swf

Hi sim-al2! Yes you did and thank you! I hope you shall stop by again!
Hey metarvo! I am glad that you liked the updated. Thank you very much. I hope you shall visit RF again!
Hi flyinbird93! Awww... now you made me blush. ;) But on serious note, I am glad that you liked what I posted and I am looking foward to hear from you again!
Hey bat! Thank you very much! I am glad that you liked it. I hope to see you here again!Thank you all for visiting and commenting! I apreciate it very much!
Well, I'm already visiting again, Karin. How can I stay away after this update? It's breathtaking... :) The three flash files are really something else. Who would have dreamed that an actual rainbow would appear in Rainbow Falls?
&apls
Beautiful Update!!!!
:thumbsup:
holy crap that's awesome! you actually have the rain animation! You amaze me with your imaging skills and how you bring your city to life.
Karin, your updates are a delight to behold! I love story-based MDs, but this is the first I've seen which combines history and fantasy so well. You have a unique way of combining elements like BATs and props with high-quality photo-editing skills to produce amazing results. I see great things in Rainbow Falls' future!
Later...
Joan
These two towns are looking fantastic! Great work on them! They are beautiful!
And wonderful animation of that rain...! Nice! :thumbsup:
Karin you been busy here wow and i havent noticed baaaad me geez's.... you need to let me know as well when you update by PM so I can keep up with you!!! Looking real good here!!!
Hi Karin,
I really like the picture of the bridge with the waterfall directly behind it a few updates back (the fourth picture, I think?). All these images and animations are just great... I'm frankly at a loss for words. I suppose I could stick with things like "great," "wow," "really nice" etc etc etc... but I feel that none of those really do justice to what you've shown here. So instead I just sit here, stare in disbelief, and wonder what to say. :D
I guess that &apls will have to work...
JB
Hello again Karin,
You have amassed quite a few wonderful pics of your cities...I can't keep up with all of the updates and such! Every time I come here its like , did I check that flash or the new slide show , or did I see that correctly. Its almost a visual overload...in a very good way! I have yet to keep a city for more than a week , let alone multiple cities that mesh so seamlessly. I love the PS work as much as what is underneath , and thank you for sharing!
Jayson
And yet again it is time for an update... after it I shall do some personal relies... (https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi33.tinypic.com%2F24m569v.jpg&hash=5cffd217da9aba1e20eb6ee0f9a80bb6c9d2217b)
I did not planned the Return To Innocence for today, but the Queen demanded so... and who am I to go against the will of the Queen?!
And before we start, as promised, a view of the Rainbow Falls as it is today:(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi37.tinypic.com%2F149txt2.jpg&hash=d39b4308e6029e350869599cd94e5b0333f54c44)
Do you remember what happened with few workers in one of the past updates? No? Well, let me slightly refresh your memory. The queen sent her scouts to explore beyond the borders of her little kingdom and after that the roads were build but the workers mysteriously vanish. After some time, it was discovered that an Indian settlement is near-by.
The queen did not know what to do with them, but after a long hours of consulting with her most trusted scout Six-Sky Running-Wolf, she decided to visit the chief Khehtakhnchoonka (on picture below) and negotiate peaceful co-existence.(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi36.tinypic.com%2Fwcg7q0.jpg&hash=a4bc0a820bc10f98fa85d5e40715f7e700806312)
But everything did not went so smoothly as it might seem now. When the Queen decided to return on her castle she was ambushed by few tribes-mans, lead by vicious "wise woman" One-eye-Rat (picture below).(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi38.tinypic.com%2Fs41egw.jpg&hash=49140375dc206c587bf3ec5772657f3c8ef31bac)
The Queen, worry not, survived tho without a bruise. It was luck that the Princess of the Tribe Singing-Bird (picture below) heard the One-eye-Rat chanting around the holy stone and summoning the spirits of the past to harm the Queen. Singing-Bird gathered few of the mightiest warriors and lead them into the forest to save the queen.(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi37.tinypic.com%2F102ro9k.jpg&hash=3d471760849a446326f312f82831d6d41adc36d4)
One-eye-Rat vanished in the heat of battle and was not seen anymore. The tribe needed a new Shaman and after long discussion between the elders they decided that Flying-Raven (the picture down) shall fit this role.(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi38.tinypic.com%2F2qvtdt4.jpg&hash=c7018d8bee5136feb78ff2db929711acd476b7b8)
So, today we have a unique opportunity to travel to the Indian Settlement with the exquisite invitation from the chief Khehtakhnchoonka.(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi38.tinypic.com%2F10d5q45.jpg&hash=62307e5fbfaf23df7b49ab6f8b49a25b74de3768)
Since there are no roads to the settlement, we will have to travel by foot. Be careful tho, for One-eye-Rat might be lurking somewhere in the shadows... ???(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi34.tinypic.com%2F29dbo5z.jpg&hash=bb0f8b4d7c3741820b4676adc1580f3ee253582b)

If you want to achieve that effect ( $%Grinno$%) then all you need to do is build a land bridge that is not to high and use a "god mode tree planter" (like for example Italian River tree controller) over it. ;D(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi34.tinypic.com%2F14pdap.jpg&hash=eaf8b66498ffcdbb2ca5a579951b6ab9b1082e0a)

The Indian Settlement is very well done, those teepees look really good.
And the choice of music for the slideshow really made it extra special.
All the best,
Paul
Wow, excellent work here. The last update is looking super, you have done a fantastic nature areas &apls
Bravo my friend &apls
HAHA that's great, animals on the highway. Great images, on that overview last update, how many tiles does that cover? looks huge! Oh and thanks for the plug in your replies ;) Advertising doesn't come free, so i'll be sure to put something up for rainbow falls!
I've seen the occasional deer run across a highway before, but never this. I always wondered if the deer/bears/horse/etc. obeyed the "(insert animal) crossing" signs we have in the States in the same manner that pedestrians are supposed to use crosswalks. Of course, in this case it seems as though they are using the highway itself as the mode of travel. It's a good thing that there are no cars using the route though, since that would make it unsafe for the animals and the traffic. /wrrd%& This teaser is good, but it makes me want more. :thumbsup: I do await the next update, Karin.
Hey Karin
I'm Drooling over your pics :D
What superlative has not been used for such fabulous pics, flash files, videos.
You have great skills in PS that I would dearly love to have.
The slideshow was a perfect thing to watch while having breakfast - lovely choice of music too &apls
It is such a feast for the eyes when I visit your MD (and I got a few ideas too :D) so I'll be looking forward to what you next have in store for us.
Enjoy this cuppa whiler spending time with your family- you've earned it

Karin, these lasts updates are fantastic, great work on this city &apls The region is awesome my friend :thumbsup:
Karin congrats on your Award for best Newcomer!!!
Lilojame,
That is great that the animals are using the highway system. I was curious where they would be going so I clicked on them. Looks like the moose is headed back to the Indian Village while the bear is going to see the Queen

Speaking of Indian Village, I have never seen anyone create one before on SC4 and you pulled it off excellent. One of my favorite set of pictures yet. Keep up the great work and enjoy your day.
Great job with the settlement! Those tipi's are great! I would be interested in them if you would release them. Love the animals on the highway , never tried that before! I just love the effect on the teaser for east rainbow falls...awesome ! You are making me want to mess with Photoshop more!

Let me also congratulate to Dustin, JBSimio, Haljacky, squidi, emilin, ejc and Tarkus for winning in other branches!
Since, I wasn't ready for this update today, it shall be of slightly different nature.
The Queen, so much honored by the title that was given to Rainbow Falls, declared a national-wide 7-day holiday!
But that is not all! The "common people" of Rainbow Falls already started feasting:

Very nice update, Karin. Congratulations on receiving the well-deserved honor of Best Newcomer at Sc4D. Your work is lovely, inspiring and a joy to see. I hope we will continue to enjoy your charming company for a long time to come.
Later...
Joan
Fantastic picture of that castle there! And the snow-animation looks wonderful, too! Also beautiful special update there! :thumbsup:
Looking forward to more...
The snow animation is beautiful.
I thought that I would wake up this morning to a lot of snow as promised by the weather networks, but instead it rained.
Love this MD, see you soon,
Robin :thumbsup:
haha i meant does your images cover say 2 large tiles or do you just work with 1 tile cities? Congradulations, very well earned reward! I am on my cell phone atm so i will have to click your link later @ a pc :) Great update, I really love that final pic, the castle, really shows again how wonderfull rainbow falls really is... and save me a spot by the fireplace there! Ill be at all the celebrations!
Hello Karin,
Thank you very much for so long and nice reply! :)
Yes, our game gives us a really unique opportunity to contact with other people. When we create Sc4 worlds, we can show much more than most people could expect. Our internal landscape is as great as the whole world. It has many undiscovered, deeply hidden and mysterious places, and it is often easier to show them in the SC4 way ;) It's a great adventure (and the therapy if needed) both for ourselves and for our friends.
I like the way you compose various things - SC4 and RL pictures, the story :thumbsup:, slideshows and your replies to viewers. It was also very nice to hear your voice :) You show show clearly that the best way to make our creations alive is not to make them perfectly harmonized, but to free the fantasy, emotions and creative energy; results will be maybe unexpected :D but they will be always great and full of meaning at least for some people.
I like the Indian settlement very much - I love old photos too!
Great work with the Burg Eltz, this excellent BAT moved an imagination of some people yet and now you are a member of Burg Eltz lovers club together with Badsim, TheTeaCat and me... ;) (sorry if I forgot about somebody).
Congratulation for The Best Newcomer Award - please don't finish the party, I have a strange feeling that it's not the end of nice events in Rainbow Falls... ;)
Adam
The first show of the snow...... Karin, superb update :thumbsup: The slide show is as always great &apls
And welcome to the OSITM my friend :thumbsup:
Arthur
Hi Karin,
Congrats on both your BEST NEWCOMER MD award and also on being elected to OSITM for December. I have a feeling you will be showing us plenty of great stuff from Rainbow Falls this month.
Oh, and congrats on reaching 200 replies as well.
Paul
Congratulations, Karin. You certainly deserve the award that you have won, since you have built a very fine MD. Of course, I believe that the OSITM honor has also been awarded to the right MD. The two snow shots are beautiful. Continue the wonderful work, Karin, because I really do want to see more.
&apls
See what happens? I visit your MD for the first time and you win not only the Best Newcomer award, but OSITM. I'm a lucky charm $%Grinno$%!
I like that castle in the middle of a snowstorm. That shot reminds me of a movie, but I can't quite remember what it is called. Nice work with the slidshow; your English was just fine to me. Did I actually see a skyscraper city thrown in there? I'm curious to see how you tackled that.

OMG and darn... :D
Yet again I was not prepared for this. &ops I don't know anymore what to say... really!
Since this is a really special time for Rainbow Falls, getting a Best Newcomer award AND being in Of Special Interest This Month section, I think it should be different and yet, what else can I do?
So this is how it shall go... each day we shall have a small update with a picture or two or maybe tree, depends on my free time. To addition to that there shall be at least one and up to tree (or four) updates per week, more or less same as now.
It is funny tho, since there is not much tiles to fill up in Rainbow Falls and some things would be gradually changing, as it will be finished soon, but nevertheless this MD shall carry on.
You remember that Rainbow Falls resides on the planet, right? Well, as Rainbow Falls is slowly coming to its end, the new region is arising to take its place, the Darkness Falls! And there are few other around also.
So today, since I didn't have to prepare for the OSITM we shall first check the Rainbow Falls region. If you want to see a bigger picture then click HERE (http://i37.tinypic.com/2en6p2h.jpg).(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi34.tinypic.com%2F33yqg0n.jpg&hash=cc48699243fdf38c1ca1a5571221587898561758)

The queen (picture below) has some problems ruling Rainbow Falls. As the wealth of her little kingdom is rising it also rises the threat to her throne. She is not truly aware of this even if she is starting to comprehend the graveness of the greed for power.(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi36.tinypic.com%2F15s06cl.jpg&hash=96e17f295ec5cec96180f989c96d2c8a4bd17c41)
The Queen didn't really had much trust for hers right hand, Cardinal Prihmelan (picture below), yet he proved useful in these past years of hers reign. But with time that passed, he proved to have much uses and in hers eyes he became her trusted ally in regions affairs.(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi34.tinypic.com%2F72q0y8.jpg&hash=2baa85eb651dd7a7cc4ce53926a9529e543c0b60)
Queens youngest daughter, Princess Wiggienly was first to express her doubt to the mother. She plead her to be careful when dealing with Cardinal Prihmelan. Alas... the Queen had fell already under Cardinals charm and in uttermost anger she locked Wiggienly to the deepest dungeon with the order that she is never again allowed to see the sun.
The people of Rainbow Falls were in shock. They could not believe how the queen could lock her daughter whom they all loved for her wisdom, kindness and for her good look. They start rebelling in small forces all over the kingdom but for now, their try to liberate the Princess were futile.
Yet, the Princess was right in hers assumptions for Cardinal has given into his greed for power. He started to intrigue with Kind Golgothem (picture below), a peaty little king (of one small town) with evil mind.(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi33.tinypic.com%2F1448vom.jpg&hash=891b1792541ae5dcd27dbd29b558c7915e2bd3ee)
The plan to overthrown the Queen would be, that Cardinal would suggest that the oldest daughter Princess Geeze would be married to King Golgothem. The Queen, being old and tired, would retreat and give her ruling seat to her daughter (which the truth be said is stupid) and Golgothem. And as soon as Queen would not be in the gaze of the public anymore, any mediocre assassin could do her cold.
How would that aid to the Cardinal, you ask? Well, the Cardinal is no fool. He know that people of Rainbow Falls would never accept King Golgothem as his rightful ruler and he has no other ally. Just a slight organization and all Rainbow Falls would march to carry the King to his cold grave. With that be done, Cardinal would become the ruler of Rainbow Falls.
But be that for today all.Please forgive me, but as I already said, I was not ready for being in OSITM and had lots to do IRL today... I promise tho, that the next OSITM Updates shall be better than todays one.(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi33.tinypic.com%2Fse7rz9.jpg&hash=21a768ebada52e338083292d7e8e69da71131a66)

Hello Robin! Thank you very much! Well, here in Slovenia we had approx 20 cm of snow before it rained today. ??? But tomorrow is supposed to snow again. Looking forward to hear from you again!
Hi flyinbird93! Well, each update covers one medium or one large city tile (one tile is usually one city/village). I prefer the large ones but they are much more demanding to my PC. The next region in line will be of only the large tiles tho. Take your time and I hope to see you here again!
Hello Adam! You are very much welcome and thank you also for a long and nice comment. ;) You described it perfectly, sc4 lands are vast fields of inner reflections and fantasy (even when author procaines his/hers work to be a real-life replica).
Well, if I would try to give this MD a static look, follow same principle every single time, border everything it would become boring to me and I believe also for the reader. Doing it this way gives me enough space to go where I feel going at that precise moment and with that there is no need for me to take a break from doing it since every time there are different thoughts behind the works.
I am very glad that you liked the Indian Settlement and the rl pictures used in that occasion. As for Burg Eltz, it rely is a wonderful bat and it would be a shame if it wouldn't be shown. I have some other plans for it in future also... ;) Thank you very much! It seems that you were right, but well, the kingdom has its troubles now even if the party is still going on. ;)
Again thank you and I do hope that you will yet again walk upon the rainbows of Rainbow Falls!
Hi Arthur! Thank you very much! Looking forward to hear from you again!
Hello Paul! Thank you very much! And congrats on being the 200th poster. There shall be a little surprise for you in one of future updates. ;) I hope that you will decide to visit RF again!
Hi metarvo! Thank you very much! It came as a real surprise to me, honestly, but I couldn't think of better gift for the holiday-month! Be assured, that I shall show more. ;) I hope to hear from you again!
Hi Dan! Haha, I guess you really are a lucky charm! The queen already proclaimed a special Dan´s Day holiday! ;) Thank you very much! Hm, now I am trying to figure out which movie that could be :D, but I am glad that you liked it! Yes, you have seen right. The city is named Lakeshore City and was already featured in one of the updates. But if you look again, you will see another one forming. ;D I hope to see from you again!Thank you very very very much all!!!EDIT: Thank you very much David! :) I just fixed the banner in here.

Hi Karin,
First of all, let me congratulate you for making it into OSITM for December. I have no doubt that your huge impact on the Mayor Diary world will continue and most likely grow even further here.
I really liked seeing your region shot. It looks as if you are terraforming this by hand?!? Can that possibly be true? If so, your talent is even more amazing than I originally thought. You've presented a very interesting story line and I look forward to seeing how things turn out.
Until next time...

The evil plan, woven in Cardinal Prihmelan´s rotten mind, was already set to motion. King Golgothem decided, to sent his messenger (picture below) to Queens Cort, after discussing the matter with his trusties. But the King does not so blindly trust the Cardinal and is already making plans for the time after he claims his new crown.(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi36.tinypic.com%2F25fouur.jpg&hash=48103a74547a40834fe7be4b2081f1474f10aef2)
The messenger arrived in Rainbow Falls in utter confusion to where he is supposed to go. Discovering the streets and back ally he at last decided to ask the locals for directions.
He was accepted with the honor that suits such important messenger and the Queen did listen. She called for her daughter Princess Geeze (on the picture below) and informed her that she has a suitor. The Princess asked how large his wealth is and for assessments of his looks. The Queen was mad at such behavior and the people of Rainbow Falls shrugged in fear that this daughter might become imprisoned also. With that the queens decision was swift! Princess Geeze shall be married to King Golgothem in the shortest time possible!(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi33.tinypic.com%2Fwwaqnn.jpg&hash=a930a8d6d35de77915467b8494a027a63cbd534c)
Geeze went crying down into the dungeons to meet her dearest friend Executioner (picture below), a man that in her opinion has the softest and kindest soul on entire world. She cried her heart out to this "gentle" man and all that he could initially say was "Hm..". After some time of thinking, he gently asked :"Do you want me to cut your head off since you seem reluctant to marry this king? We might have a nice roosted duck then... I don't remember when I had that last..." Geeze embraced her friend and thank him but decided to give her future husband a chance... besides, if she marry the spell shall be broken and she will regain her human form again...(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi38.tinypic.com%2F28gtaas.jpg&hash=35ebb05f9d2113e60e483b87fb582d4a1f78372b)

Congrats for your award there!! &apls &apls &apls
And your pictures in the update are fantastic! Wonderful work on them! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
Hi Karin,
Yet another very nice picture! &apls There's a softness to all your game pictures that really works well and lends them a story tale quality that fits perfectly here.
And so the plot thickens, I see. Hmmm... I'm interested to see Princess Geeze in her human form although, I must admit that the idea of roast duck sounded pretty darn good for a minute there! (Nothing personal against the princess, of course.) I guess I'll just have to cook my own duck now... ;)
See you next time,
JB
&apls &apls Very nice update again . Your pics are just stunning. I don`t know what so said i just repeat myself comment. I guess you just have to read this post for the next 10 ones :D . Nan, seriously i want to congrats you too for the OSITM. Very deserved :thumbsup:

In todays update we shall visit another small town. The Queen decided that this town shall be named after Paul (paroch) who posted the 200th post in this thread.

Paroch Town is really a small town and yet of importance. Here is situated Queens Winter Castle to wich you were invited. But also, there on the hill stands a church where the late King of Rainbow Falls found his final rest.

Hello Karin,
This is very fast becoming one of the great MDs here, if only in my opinion. But I can't be too wrong, just look at your post and view counts. &apls
Love the pics, love the slideshow and the music to go with it was great.
Can't wait to see what's next.

Paroch Town looks just wonderful, Karin! A fitting tribute to our very good friend Paul!
You're doing great so far with your time in OSITM, my friend! Keep it up!
Dustin
It has been a while since I last commented here, but I have been lurking. You have been doing amazing work. Congratulations on the Best Newcomer award, it's certainly well deserved, and congratulations on OSITM. With what you have for us on a regular basis, I can only imagine what you'll have in store for this month. Paroch Town is quite well done, and that is a great use of the castle. I've clicked on a few of the photos too. Even the unedited pics are very well done. Great work, and I'll try to comment more often when I come through here.
Paroch Town looks fantastic, by day and night. Since you are using your OSITM time so effectively, you are allowing the rest of us to benefit from this honor as well. Great work, Karin.

In todays update we shall continue the "There is something rotten in Rainbow Falls" story, but before we do so, I have for you 3 pictures from Rainbow Falls (the towns name is yet a mystery).

The Rainbow Falls prepared the weeding and many people gathered (picture below) to see Princess Geeze and King Golgothem.(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi35.tinypic.com%2F2eq6v5z.jpg&hash=103e80f411043b1d261ffa870a83ae48f0d8c75a)
Princess Geeze was unhappy, she cried all night long and even over the previous day for she never meet this king and had no idea with whom she will marry. She tried to convince her mother, the Queen, to discontinue the wedding plans, but with that she achieved nothing. They dressed Geeze in a weeding dress (picture below) and sent her on her way to meet her husband to be for the very first time.(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi38.tinypic.com%2Fv3knpl.jpg&hash=bd8c0a3b3de4de03d7338cfec02654ef089ea4b6)
The Princess utterly unhappy walked to her carriage... They drove for a while to meet Golgothem at the Kings Bridge. Reluctantly she stepped out and gazed (picture below) on the face of her husband to be for a first time. Her face brightened for he was younger than she expected him to be. Golgothem was shocked tho for he was not informed by the Cardinal, that Princess Geeze has such an "interesting face". If there would not be a kingdom to be gained from this marriage, he would surely leave and never looked back...(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi38.tinypic.com%2Fiqebmo.jpg&hash=128c5cae903f7ec673f6b0700b9b2be7b36f349b)
Together they continued to the church in Paroch Town and got married (picture below). It was quick weeding for the Queen had no patience for long ceremonies.(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi34.tinypic.com%2F2cnff3r.jpg&hash=cd96ca2d18a79556c9803d5080859c882ca9daef)
At the moment that Geeze was married to Golgothem a long lasting spell was broken and she again had her human form (picture below). She was excited to again see world as she did when she was born and yet... she somehow did not feel as she thought she should. Golgothem looked at her and asked the Cardinal: "May she be return to previous form?" but Cardinal did not answered...(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi34.tinypic.com%2F2qu3l0w.jpg&hash=bbe3e020cccd5ad84f1852c544e461c11aedadb2)

Really awesome pictures there, Karin! The first picture is looking beautiful! The others of course, too! And great work on the "rivers" and "lakes"! :thumbsup:
Hi Karin,
Sorry for missing a few updates there. Paroch Town looks amazing! And, as Arthur said, you've done wonders with Peg's pond pieces in this latest update. The story continues to get better with each episode... Golgothem's reaction seems a bit extreme and makes me wonder what you have in store for the next part already.
See you then,
JB
Nice photos, Karin. I've often wondered how to make reflections in the water but never took the time to figure it out. I like the sort of misty quality in your latest group of pix. The neighborhoods look good, but I'm wondering about the house at mid-left in the fourth picture. It seems wildly out of proportion to the rest of the structures.
You really do a find job of photo editing, a project I'll be forced to start on in the near future. I'm sure I'll enjoy it once I get started.
Later...
Joan

Laketown is the only real city that exists in Rainbow Falls (besides Lakeshore City). Its growth was rapid and even queens strict orders to not expand didn't managed to prevent its growth. To this day there is around 110 000 souls living in Laketown.

Hi Joan! I am glad that you like my photo editing! As for that building, yes, I agree that the propotions are slightly off.

Hello lurkers!
I hope you liked todays update (cant really know, right?) and that you shall stop by again! Stay tuned for tomorrow is a day of another few random pictures and a story-time.
Great updates.
You always pack so much into them. Not only did you show us pictures, but you show us 40 pictures in a slide show with some really good music.
I'll be back for the next update. ;)

great stuff! really enjoyed your night shots, cant wait to see some more random images :D
Well Karin, there it is... Proof that your cities look just as good before you alter the images as they do after! &apls That being said, I have to admit that I really love the black and white picture near the top of the update. Laketown looks like a very nice place indeed and seems to have a bit of everything to offer. I'll have to catch up on your slideshows when I get my home internet back. :(
See you next time,

Wow ! this city is awesome Karin, great work with these W2W &apls
The port look good too. :thumbsup:
and by "more in game pictures", I mean more pictures of your city :P

Lilojame,
Ooooohhhhhhhh, I think Laketown is one of my favorites so far. I love the walls and the streams throughout the city. Excellent downtown commercial, residential suburbs and great industry park &apls
Great stuff, Karin! Great stuff, as per usual!
Laketown is absolutely gorgeous! I think I'll be checking the real estate sections to see about moving there!
You're doing such an incredible job with your time in OSITM, my friend! It's so great to see you doing just great work!
Take care, Karin!
Dustin
Great area, love the twin avenues
Very nice update Karin. A good mix of old and new, on a few levels. First, the vaiety in your building selection seems to give a sense of development/time to the cities. For example, the old brick factories in the 8th pic of Laketown contrast well with the high tech satellite dishes and other high tech industry. But on another level, seeing things like Peg's streams is a nice throw back to the early days of the game. Very nice work and enjoy your month in OSITM.
Wow, that is one ducky bride! :D Really interesting and very imaginative story.
I think it's a great idea to include the unedited photos. There aren't as many changes as I first thought, and I have to agree the edited versions fit well with your established mood. On the other hand, Laketown unedited looks great! Your work with the streams is excellent, especially as shown in the fourth photo. The neighborhoods look good, too - lots of variety, but the various elements work well together.
The nighttime shots are always personal favorites, and the overview looks great - you've done a good job on your use of diagonals. The reflections I mentioned are in the third photo of this (http://sc4devotion.com/forums/index.php?topic=6142.msg205176#msg205176) post on Page 11.
I have to watch the slide show later, but I'm sure it will be just as good - or better - than the ones which have preceded it!

You could also use the Magnetic Lasso Tool but sometimes , usualy when there are treetops covering a portion of water it is tricky to use that, I personaly prefer the regular laso.
With the Lasso Tool selected we then outline the portion of the picture that we want to manipulate all around so that it looks somewhat like this:(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi36.tinypic.com%2F2jeb49v.jpg&hash=93fcbbd4d1c95ff35d887f1aa24e5e0f60ecdbc1)
That was the trickiest and possible the hardest part. Now we go to Filter -> Disort and choose (a funny part) Glass:(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi34.tinypic.com%2Fsmdb8w.jpg&hash=c87fdd39983ca55fd11d8d9a0bbfa99619fdaf20)
A small window pops up, with a preview and sliders etc. meaning it is time to play :(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi36.tinypic.com%2F24c8uo2.jpg&hash=d2204acd30eaafb24698895ada41126796bd11db)
The first thing to do in that window is changing the Texture from whatever is there to Frosted. Consider that a "must". After that you simply play with Distortion, Smoothness and Scaling sliders to achieve the look that you are searching for. Every time that you move one or another slider, the preview picture changes. After you are satisfied with the look you logicaly press OK and you are done:(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi33.tinypic.com%2F1417aqx.jpg&hash=bf85634133286a2eba436bccb9a235929fab6f94)
If you wish, you can of-course go on and add some trees reflections to the water (or bridge, buildings etc...). After using a Lasso Tool and selecting the area that you want to change you use the Eydroper tool and select the green color of the trees you want to reflect: (https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi35.tinypic.com%2F29pem49.jpg&hash=5bb76fe741b827347f165530938bd9790c65e0ec)
With that done, you switch to Brush Tool (set the Opacity to around 36% (it is mostly the matter of taste) ) and paint some greens on the outlined surface:(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi38.tinypic.com%2Frrr1no.jpg&hash=bf4127ac74140b2862a69f9e8ef552bfbd118342)
The more precisely you do this better the effect. In this particular example I am not precise at all.
When you are satisfied with the coloring you simply go to Filter -> Disort and choose Glass and repeat the steps afterwards. The resoult should look somewhat like this:(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi34.tinypic.com%2Fxnsx8w.jpg&hash=d9549e703a94be2b4e4cc02f972bfb85c208c607)
I hope that you will find this easy enough and helpful.
Thank you very much for visiting and for all nice comments! I really appreciate it and will answer to them when I do the 6th Day in OSITM Update later today. Thank you!!!
Wow, how nice of you to create a tutorial for us, Karin! It's getting a bit late here (3 a.m. Saturday) to break out Photo Shop, but you can bet I'll try out your technique sometime over the weekend.
Thanks again - this is very exciting...

Great work there on the newest update! Your pictures are looking fantastic! And the small tutorial is also nice...

In todays update we shall see 2 random shots from Rainbow Falls first, then the story "There is something rotten in Rainbow Falls" shall continue and for the end you shall be able to read facts about Rainbow Falls Warfare.
So, I suggest we start with the random pictures. Remember that clicking on them will bring you to the not-edited version:(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi37.tinypic.com%2F33begdg.jpg&hash=f706d35d96683b30719782bf47dc83e86a207c1a) (http://i38.tinypic.com/2hxss4w.jpg)

These are todays pictures. To those who like to see more of in-game pictures I need to say, that Rainbow Falls is not a pre-build region but it is build up as we go. Tomorrow is a very special day that I will spend with my kids and therefore the update on the Sunday wont be as big as I would wish but it shall still be there.
And now it is a story time:(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi38.tinypic.com%2F1415vrn.jpg&hash=c830121d9416f4bcdcb16bf6fb7c5799f11a61bc)
All was peaceful in Rainbow Falls for about a month. Geeze went with her husband in his little kingdom of one single town, the Queen ruled over Rainbow Falls as she did before and no hint was given that she plans to give up on her position and thus make Golgothem a ruler of her kingdom.
Yet, Golgothem was not at peace tho and he demanded to meet the Cardinal in the utter darkness of nearby forest, far away from the eyes and ears of the peers. Cardinal, of course, came to meet the jung and freshly married king.[/b]

"Thee called upon me Sir?" said Cardinal whilst indicating a slight bow.
"Indeed I did..." began Golgothem.
"What troubles thee Sir?" Cardinal said softly, raising an eyebrow.
"What troubles me?!! Thee needs to ask?!!" Golgothems temper risen. "It seems to me that the old bat still clings to her crown! Thee promised the crown to me as soon as I marry Geeze!" he continued trying to whisper while the blood in his veins was boiling.
"I know, these things demand its time Sir..." calmly answered Cardinal although he was not so calm on the inside.
Cardinal was sure that all this would be over already and yet it was not.
"She needs time to decide. I shall..." tried Cardinal.
"NO, I SHALL!!!" yelled the King and stormed out of the forest.
The next day Golgothem visited the Queen at her Cort.
"What may be thy wish, Golgothem?" asked the Queen with official smile.
"The wish... Geeze told me that thee, my queen, would give the crown to my beloved wife when married and yet there is no crown to adorn the beautifulness of my wife..." he politely explained his visit.
"Ahh... so thee yearns for power... a distinct green in thy voice, dear Golgothem." said the queen.
"But..." he tried to argue.
"No buts! There is enough buts around here already..." the queen gave stick look to the few of the nobles standing in the corner. "Thee rules only one small town, Golgothem! How could I know that thee is capable of ruling Rainbow Falls? Thee shall prove thy worth before I give thee anything! Thee may go..." she said without mercy.
And so Golgothem ended his visit at the Queens Cort. Whilst leaving the castle Cardinal pulled him into secret chamber.
"And?" asked Cardinal for news.
"I need to expand," was Golgothem brief.
When Golgothem return back home he gathered his council in war room aNd said: "There shall be war!"TO BE CONTINUED....
And for the end of todays update:

Rainbow Falls social system
Rainbow Falls social system is based on a hierarchy in which each individual have obligations of loyalty and service to those above him and require loyalty and service from those below him. Much of the service delivered by the nobles is military in nature, thus, the serf yield a portion of his crop and labor to his lord, receiving in return protection and government. The lord owe a military service to his overlord and overlord is obligated to come to his defense. And so it goes. right up t the Queen (or king), who dispenses justice and gives protection to all those beneath her whiles she is obligated to the gods to govern justly and chivalrously. Within this hierarchy there are essentially 3 major social orders, the clergy, the nobles and the commoners. Each of them serves a distinct function within society. The clergy is obligated to protect the moral tone of society and dispense the benefits of religion; the nobles provide for governing and protection of society, and the commons pay for it all with labor, gold and goods. [/b]
Rainbow Falls Warfare
Warfare is a way of life in Rainbow Falls. The nobility holds its power by virtue of its status as professional soldier. Many commoner soldiers are also professional, usually led by nobles and all who wish to maintain their safety and security has to be ready for a fight. Organization:
Knights -
Rainbow Falls knight is a well respected man OR woman who follows strict moral codes. They are usually mounted and armored soldiers in connection with nobility or royalty itself but regardless of that you may find also knights that come from lower classes. The costs of their armor, horses and weapons is a great one and therefor held in highest regard and treasured very dearly.(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi37.tinypic.com%2F1rzreh.jpg&hash=90b7676d4c105b64d79eb271d1a0a79e34958dcc)
Heavy calvary-
Heavily armed calvary is armed mostly with lances and a varied assortment of hand weapons. They play a significant role in battles of the Rainbow Falls and means a difference between victory and defeat. In these ranks we usually find wealthy knight and noblemen who can afford the equipment. The thunderous charge can break the lines of most infantry formations as long as there are no special charms cast upon them or consisted of Gnolls which are hard to find.(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi37.tinypic.com%2F2z3xbi8.jpg&hash=4558363548f4c2f1a27350f2cda0476c6d94265d)
Infantry-
Infantry forms the most numerous part of Rainbow Falls field army. Amongst them we can count spearmens, archers and other unmounted soldiers. In sieges infantry units serve as a garrison troops and archers, among other positions.(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi35.tinypic.com%2Fjjy35s.jpg&hash=5deb5f9ef072cc0258e67efaa3e2d3a97e114b5a)
Mercenaries-
Are the groups of career soldiers who are paid at a set rate. They ten to be effective soldiers, especially in combination with standing forces but are also less reliable than the standing army.(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi38.tinypic.com%2Fswskuq.jpg&hash=a9c667547ef9759620d4c33f9487f557bc4b3a2b)
Recruiting -
Every noble is obligated to respond to the call to battle with his own equipment, archers and infantry and therefore assigned to train those in the eras of peace. The more resources the noble has access to, the better his troops typically are.
Peasantry is obligated to serve a 60 days but with the introduction of scutage they are now also able to pay to escape the service and thus provide gold which is used for creation of permanent army or/and hieing mercenaries.(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi33.tinypic.com%2Fflznzp.jpg&hash=21efc112e55fdace03d793baecaa1d952ae06cff)
The knights are drawn to battle by feudal and social obligation but also by the prospect of profit and advancement. The ones that preform well are likely to increase there landholdings and advance in social hierarchy. The prospect of significant income from pillage and ransoming prisoners is also important. For the mounted knight Rainbow Falls Warfare is a relatively low risk affair. Nobles avoid killing each other for several reasons. Many of them are related to each other, had fought alongside each other in one on or another occasion and some even are making their life by capturing and ransoming nobles in battle. Even the peasants who do not share the bonds of kinship and culture often avoid killing a nobleman since they value the high ransom that a live capture can bring and the horse, amour and equipment that cames with him. However this is no rule and it is quite common for the knights to suffer heavy casualties during particularly heartened battles.(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi37.tinypic.com%2F2ng4p08.jpg&hash=4447d473769cfbbcde12a96283de0c93c2c52b65)

Looks like I missed a few updates! First ,congrats on your very deserved OSITM award! &apls You have completely blown me away with all of your creativity with the slide shows , and eye for detail! I , as I have said in the past , am in complete awe of your creativity as well as your photo manipulation skills (which you let us in on with the water tut...) and love how the story is going! Again , congrats on the award and look forward to more!

Hi Karin,
Sorry I've not dropped by for a while - but I have been through each of the updates.
Of course, it is a BIG honour to have a town named after me and what a great town it is too - thank you.
I'm liking Laketown very much as well - it has a nice mix of houses, apartments and towers. The water front setting is also really good.
The Rainbow Falls region view is really taking shape - that is very impressive.
The tutorial on PhotoShop reflections is EXCELLENT and I must now try some similar tricks!
The road pic is great, it reminds me of a motor racing track - I'm not so sure the layout is 100% logical for a highway, but hey it looks good :D
All in all I've enjoyed your work of the last week and will try to pop in more regularly.
All the best
Paul
great update for day 6! looked awesome as always. i really enjoyed your new tutoral too, ive known how to reflect the actual image in a reflection manor but it takes a lot of time. this methode may be easier to use thanks :)
Wow missed some updates and i gotta say brillaints pics again! ;D Great tutorial...too bad i dont have adobe... Do u think it will work on GIMP?
Karin, your updates appear faster than I can read them! The highway layout may not be entirely realistic, but neither is Rainbow Falls. There's a lot of artistic license at work here, and that's one of the things that makes it so charming and unique. I'm not quite as fond of the reddish-tinted photo, but it's a nice picture just the same.
Your story, which has amused and entertained from the very beginning, continues to weave a fairy-tale like thread through the MD that is rather humorous at times! You've chosen your "historical" photos well, although I'm not sure if they fit the story or the story fits them! Either way, the pictures of the royal family will remain in memory for a long time to come.
I've never seen SC4 presented in this way, but I like it very much.

I am glad that you liked the tutorial and hey, give me a nudge when you try something similar!

Hi Joan! Thank you very much, my friend! I wonder, you know, if I will manage to keep this tempo to the end of the month tho... but well, I will at least try. :-[ I agree on the highway layout and well, since RF are as you said not so realistic I have some space and on other hand, drawing the straight line down the very steep hill wouldn't be so interesting. But I have to say, that doing those curves down the hill was actually technically hard to do. ??? I agree on your comment about the pictures in the last update also but on other hand, they are there more to add to the representation of the Warfare described there which is in majority the real life description of Medieval Europe Warfare with slight modifications of course. Thank you very much for your thoughts and I hope to hear many more from you!Thank you very much all!
That's another great update there, Karin! Great work on your city! And the pictures are fantastic!! :thumbsup:
It's been a little while, but I decided to stop by again, Karin. Those pics are very nice. They give me the impression of an older town square, like you might see in some small towns. IRL, a lot of these "downtown" areas on Main St. are becoming abandoned, due to larger, more modern strip malls and office buildings being constructed away from the city center. Still, it is good to see a town square that is still thriving. Of course, the night shots look very nice, Karin, but it's the day shot that won me over this time.
&apls
Wow, I keep missing such great stuff here at Rainbow Falls--I'm sorry about that, Karin!
The social system and warfare update was magnificent, and the latest batch of pictures is splendid, too!
Keep up the fine work here, Karin!
Dustin
Karin looking good here with this update and I love that first pic the most!!! My health well yea hmm... anyways I will be back for more though!!! :thumbsup:
Interesting layout, Karin. I've never seen a city square surrounded by water before. We're more likely to have streets around a square courthouse lawn - a setup I try to avoid at all cost! I like the daytime shot best, and I like the edited version better than the raw photo. Never thought I'd say that!
You continue to surprise and delight with your creativity, imagination and talent...

great update, i know all about family delemas. that second picture kind of reminds me of an old idea i had on a old city a long time ago. maybe ill post it in the showcase some time.
It seems that I have missed a few updates. The tutorial is great and it would be a ggod idea if you added it to the tutorial section for all others to find easily.
It also looks like this is going to be a very big month for you too. You'll be in the Classics Section in no time.

Hi all! This update was due for Monday but I wasn't able to connect to SC4D yesterday and since I was tired I went to bed afterwards. So we shall have 2 updates today, one for yesterday and one for today, but the second one is quite some hours away. Anyhow, let me copy&past the yesterdays update:

Hi! It is time for the Monday update... I hoped that it will be a larger one but well... I started to build up the city and of course forgot to save it (stupid me) which wouldn't be a problem if I wouldn't hover a rail puzzle piece over transit enabled lot and we all know what happens if doing that, right? So, I had to start all over... Anyhow, as a result I have only 3 random pictures for you and slightly different sideshow with another set of randomness...
I suggest we check the trio first (if movie trilogies are popular, why not pictures, right? lol) and of course, if you click on them you shall be able to see the non-edited versions :

Hi bat! Thank you very much! I am glad that you liked the update and hope to hear from you again!
Hi metarvo! Thank you very much! I am glad that you decided to stop by again. I know exactly what you are talking about. Here in Slovenia more or less every town has its old town center. They are usually closed for cars but makes a nice walking spots with its small galleries and coffee-shops etc. but for the real crowds there are new commercial zones elsewhere. Thank you very much for commenting and I do hope that you will stop by again!
Hi Dustin! Thanks you very much! Hey, don't worry, it happens to everybody. ;) I am glad that you liked the soc.system&warfare update and last pictures. I hope that you will stop by again!
Hi Pat! Thank you very much! Wish you all the best, but I am sure you already know that. Hope to hear from you again!
Hi Joan! Thank you very much! Yes, I didn't see any city square completely surrounded by water before, either, but I thought it could be interesting idea. Looking forward to hear from you again!
Hi flyinbird93! Thank you very much! Haha, it shall be interesting to see if you post it. Hope to hear from you again!
Hi Robin! Thank you very much! I am glad that you liked the tutorial and I might move it there as soon as I find 5 spare minutes. This December is really big, here and IRL. I believe I am still far away from Classics Section but well, one day... :) Hope to hear from you again!Thank you very much all! The next update is around 10 (one hour up or down) hours from now (if I manage to finish the city :D).
Three pictures are better than none, right, Karin!
And those three, well, they're better than 20 pictures! And don't worry about crash to desktop, that happens to me, too. It can get pretty frustrating after a while!
Take care!
Dustin
Your pictures are again wonderful there! And your slide show is fantastic!
Great work on another nice update... :thumbsup:

Hi Dustin! Thank you very much! Yes, I know, I have a tendency to loose at least 7 cities per region. ::) But well, usually, I get a better idea afterwards so its not such big deal. Thanks for stooping by and I hope o hear from you again!
Hi bat! Thank you very much! I am glad that you liked the pictures and the slideshow! Hope that you will stop by again!
Thank you all for visits and to both of you for commenting! See you tomorrow!
Great four pictures of one day in your city there! Nice work on it! :thumbsup:
Looking forward to more... ;)
Very nice pix, Karin. I especially like the first and second in Part 8 and the first in Part 9. Those are some good-looking neighborhoods with a nice variety of homes. As for the roof walkers, it's a bit unusual but not unheard of. I've seen horses walking on the top rail of a fence and "floating" across the highway. Also I've seen groups of Sims huddled in the northwest corner of an empty city tile, but they always disappear before I can get a screenie. Amusing while it lasts, though.
Later...
Joan
Nice pictures, as always Karin! &apls I especially liked the industrial shot from the previous update and the final night picture in this update. I also have to say that I really enjoy the idea you had to click for the unaltered game views. It very interesting to see how things looked before you went and made them look even better! I know that I'm enjoying the great month you've had so far... I hope you are too!
JB
&apls &apls Very interesthing again mate. Old song , old pics (black and white) hey you make me feel young again thanks :D Very good work once again . Take care :thumbsup:
Wow great 2 updates again! &apls Really like ur last update with the changes of time! &apls Just a question...In day 7,2 nd pic how do u change angle of shot?
Hi all!
Thank you very much for your wonderful comments and support, I shall replay each and every one of you in the next update.
Today I just popped in because I have a sad news... and that is that I don't have time to do an update.
I thought yesterday that I will manage but some new RL s*yt came over the mail today and I need to act upon it which shall definitely take a great deal of energy and concentration (and restraining myself to not feel like everything works against me ::) ). Anyhow, I hope that I will still find time (and energy) in the evening to make an update but I somehow doubt it...
Anyhow, I hope that you, being a wonderful people as you are, understand that (and I am pretty sure that you do) and will forgive me if I miss one update in this month which should be full of joy.
Thank you very much!
Yours Truly,
Karin
That is fine. I have been following your MD. It is an amazing MD. ;D I like your cities.

More nice pictures there Karin. It's interesting to see the same shot(s) with different effects and times of the day - a very nice idea.
And I hope your day got better and that you got your issue sorted out.
All the best
Paul
Take the time to fix your problem , we gonna wait until your return with no problem. We all understand and hope that everything will be fine. Take care ;)

Thank you all for understanding yesterday. :)
So today we shall travel to another city located in Rainbow Falls. Please remember that if you click on the picture, you will be able to see an unedited version of it.
Since I am more or less in a hurry, without further ado I give you:(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi34.tinypic.com%2F2jawzm8.jpg&hash=a0cc2dd99d3a2e6c14eff68dddb71c236dbcb3cd)[/left]
Laljublja City is more or less forgotten by the queen but is doing all right nevertheless. It has a mixture of all wealth levels living and working there. It is not much to say about Laljublja beside the fact that the majority of heavy industry in Rainbow Falls is located at the outskirts of this city.
I suggest that we look at the pictures (there is 13 of them since that is my lucky number ( ::)) and I am in need of some luck &sly):(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi34.tinypic.com%2Fv46vww.jpg&hash=0ea9639fd91246725fd1420e81ba9a3177ab2d49) (http://i37.tinypic.com/ir2dzo.jpg)

Hi bat! Thank you very much! Looking forward to hear from you again!
Hi Joan! Thank you very much! Well, that specific instance of "roof walkers" is still there. Basically they are not on the roof but they are walking on the street behind the building. Since I have some issues with graphic card they are somehow visible over the building. Thanks for commenting and I hope to hear from you again!
Hi Jon! Thank you very much! I am glad that you like the idea of the click-ables and even more so, that you like what I showed thus far. I have to admit that yes, I am enjoying it a lot. It is a really nice month in here (if only the RL one would be as nice I would be in 7th heavens). Looking forward to hear from you again!
Hi kimcar! Thank you very much! Haha, well, if you felt younger at the last slideshow then I am pleased to hear so, but hey, remember that you are only as old as your soul feels. ;) Thanks for understanding! Well, if I would be away until all is fixed then we would probably speak about at least a year. :/ There is sadly no quick and easy solutions. In any case I shall be updating RF as often as I can. Thanks again! Looking forward to hear from you again!
Hi bluesinjid! Thank you very much! I am glad that you liked the last update! As for your question, the pm was already send directing you to a tutorial about perspective changing in this MD. I hope that answered your question. I hope to hear from you again!
Hi un1! Welcome to RF and thank you very much for your comment! I am glad that you like RF and my cities! I hope to hear from you again!
Hi Paul! Thank you very much! I am glad that you liked the pictures and that you found the last sequence interesting. My day, well, it was slightly better but sadly there is still much to do. I hope to hear from you again! Thank you all for visiting and leaving comments! I appreciate it very much!
Wow, this is a fine update, Karin! Laljublja City looks like it has been thoughtfully designed. There is also some variety, as well. Not only does Rainbow Falls include scenic views and nice houses, but Laljublja City is proof that some industry has also been built here. I'm pleased that you found the time for another excellent update.
:thumbsup:
I hope you get your RL situation taken care of, Karin. :)
That are 13 wonderful pictures, Karin! The 30 pictures (!) in the slide show, which is also fantastic, are really beautiful!
Fantastic new update... Looking forward to a new one...
Hello Karin,
Great update, awesome pictures. I really like the waterfalls, I hope to see some close ups of them.
Sorry to hear that you have some RL problems, hopefully you can clear them up easily.
BTW, 13 is my lucky number as well. ;)
Robin :thumbsup:
Hi, Karin!
Boy, I keep missing great stuff here in Rainbow Falls! I can't apologize enough, my friend! Things have been a bit hectic lately.
But one thing's for sure, no matter when I come here, I'm guaranteed to see some fantastic stuff, and the latest update is no exception!
Your skills in the game coupled with the Photoshop and presentation are a stunning combination, and I love it more and more each time!
I truly hope to be more of a regular here, Karin. I apologize again.
Take care, my friend!

Hi all! I had a really busy day today and therefore no time to play, sadly, meaning this shall be a very short OSITM Update.
First I give you a little info from Rainbow Falls for those who might be interested:(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi34.tinypic.com%2F28hzotx.jpg&hash=81e0eeaa3154bf77691604dfec31cff09032dd01)
Now, since I completely forgot (shame on me) to add a regional view to the previous update we have it here today (clicking on the picture you shall be able to see an extra large un-edited picture of it):(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi36.tinypic.com%2F2i07wi1.jpg&hash=478c446c601ec8e95ce74b2291fa5b3c6477c32f) (http://i33.tinypic.com/2gtsxmw.jpg)

As a special news to those of you who don't know it yet: Park Du Sincitybaby is now available on LEX. I am very excited and happy to have it there even more so because it is a very first thing made by me in there. YEY! This is really a great month. :o
I also submitted the next package for scrutinizing and you can read about it in Lilojames Candidacies thread. I believe that the link is in my signature.
For tomorrow I am not sure about the length of the update since I am having a family day (meaning a special time with my sunshines) so there are two possibilities:
1st an random picture from Rainbow Falls in the morning (my time)
or
2nd an overview of all the falls in Rainbow Falls in the evening (my time).
Which one shall be we will have to see tomorrow... So this was all for today. Again I am sorry for the short update but well... its RL that is messing with me so I am sure that you understand and I do hope that you liked it nevertheless.(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi36.tinypic.com%2F33mc21t.jpg&hash=87f615a17da3277308c38419cfe77f1d0719c0bd)
Hi metarvo! Thank you very much! I am glad that you liked Laljublja City and believe it or not, but you are correct, it was planned one. Thanks on the hopes also! It got a bit better today but still a long way tho. Hope to hear from you again!
Hi bat! Thank you very much! I am very glad that you liked the pictures and the sideshow! Hey, did you actually count them? ;D Looking forward to hear from you again!
Hi Robin! Thank you very much for the nice comment! For the waterfalls, I am planing to do a watery update soon, hopefully tomorrow. Bust as a matter of interest, this same waterfall in Laljublja was already used in one of the updates but you shall be able to see it again. ;) I hope to hear from you again!
Hi Dustin! Thank you very much! Haha, no need to apoliage, my friend! I understand that you are very busy this month (having your own wonderful MD in OSITM, being and admin, having RL, doing all that statistics works and probably many many more things that I don't know about) and therefore I don't blame you if you miss an update. ;) I am very glad tho, that you liked the update and that you are liking what I do in here. But when I finish this region and start a new one, some of the things will change slightly (even maybe become more scary, lol). So thank you again for taking time and commenting in here and please, don't take it to heart if you miss something. ;) Looking forward to hear from you again!Thank you all for visiting and commenting! I really appreciate it!
Wow nice updates! Glad you could help me with the perspectices! &apls Really loving that region view! So much green!
Dang! I can't read fast enough to keep up with these updates! I liked your tutorial, it was very helpful.
Great job, keep up the great work.
Hi Karin,
I've skipped a couple replies, but I've been checking in. Laljublja City looks quite a bit more crowded than Laketown... but still quite nice. You use a pretty wide variety of buildings and they all seem to work together very well. The region view is also most impressive! It's nice to see that you still have a ways to go. That way, I know you won't be moving on anytime soon... :D
See you next time!
JB
Karin,
I think one of my favorites of your pictures has to be the first black and white of your lucky 13 series. Hope that RL is treating you better and that you are solving the problems. Hang in there and have a great remainder of the month, maybe it would be a good time to go to your vacation house in Franklin :D
That's a really great picture there! And the area looks beautiful! :thumbsup:
btw, this should be my 6450th post!
WOW! Laljublja City is really beautiful - it looks a great place. The railway viaducts certainly add something different and I'm glad to see that there is a football stadium there too.
And the region view is also STUNNING. What a great region you have there. The massive waterfall is really special.
And congrats on your upload to the LEX - well done.
All the best,
Paul

Todays update shall be again just slightly different, meaning we shall have a look at a town that is still under construction and far from finished. You shall notice that I left grid on. Please note, that that was done intentionally to stress out that the city is not as it will be at the end (probably in tomorrows update).
But before we travel to Evelyn Hope, I suggest that we look at the traffic view of Rainbow Falls:(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi36.tinypic.com%2F15ufbc.jpg&hash=b7d2f3d541e18337ab4d257ac6f59d7b2a597bc6)
I am guessing that you are wondering where in Rainbow Falls is located Evelyn Hope. Am I right? Well, if I am, then you shall wonder no more after looking at picture below:(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi33.tinypic.com%2F2v847z8.jpg&hash=c94e7c2d8dd8ddb2915264bfeb93c73395a4c649)
And now that we know towns location and are more familiar with the traffic network, I suggest that we take the fastest road to Evelyn Hope and have the first quick glimpse of how it is growing up:(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi37.tinypic.com%2F9gj2ap.jpg&hash=ff374ffc5a3882a3841a4ae7cb258e61a37393c6)
Oh good, you are already here! I hope that you traveled well. If you didn't stopped for a snack in between then I am sure that you shall be able to find a nice establishment somewhere in Evelyn Hope after we finish this quick tour.
Evelyn Hope was at its beginning a farming community and in majority it still is.(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi37.tinypic.com%2F2z9hapi.jpg&hash=942ea604aea832d1f1a622ccba30d1e5f5a39f9b)

So that was few years back. It didn't much changed from that time to today except that more people moved to Evelyn Hope, more farms was build and of course roads.
So on this day Evelyn Hope is a low density town with some manufacturing and hi-tech industry around. The queen has still plans for this part of Rainbow Falls and it is said that after she will finish her consulting with urbanologists, architects and alike she will employ few of the best construction mages, yes literary wizards, to bring those plans to life over the night (again take that literary please). So you are invited to spend the night in local hotel (don't worry, it is free of charge this time) so that we shall be able to continue the tour tomorrow and see the final look of Evelyn Hope.
And now, that you know all that it is to know for now, I suggest that we actually check todays Evelyn Hope:(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi35.tinypic.com%2F2vwcsa0.jpg&hash=ab871149060b15b294923886cee84d689cc84cb7)

So with that todays tour is over. I am sure that you are in a need of rest and relaxation or well, maybe even some partying. Worry not, the driver shall take you to the hotel where you can fresh up and then explore the 5-star hotel service.
Just remember that tomorrow we shall continue our tour in Evelyn Hope so don't forget to get some rest also.(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi36.tinypic.com%2Fajrtj5.jpg&hash=28670ec830add92c88a24a06b4bfd96bf1d3f189)
Hi Paul! Thank you very much! I am glad that you liked the postcards and the waterfalls! I hope to hear from you again!
Hi Arthur! Thank you very much! Hey, don't worry if you miss an update or two, I hold no grunges! ;) I am glad that you like the pictures and slideshows and hope to hear from you again!
Hi bat! Thank you very much! I am glad that you liked the slideshow and the pictures! Well, the 14th update is here and I do hope that you will like it. The 15th shall be even longer tho. I hope to hear from you again!
Hi lurkers! Thank you very much for visiting! I do hope that you like the updates in here (Cant really know, right? ;) ). It would be nice if you would say "Hi" at least once but of course you are welcome to simply lurk around if you prefer so. :)EDIT: A funny thing... this is 290th post of Rainbow Falls MD and at same time it is also the 290th post in my personal post count over SC4D. :D
Nice updates! Your cities are forming very well. Don't you think that the farms are a bit bumpy?
-un1
I love your small town, and also your farms are great as well.
Very good, Karin! It looks like Evelyn Hope is going to be a nice small town. If there's a five-star hotel, though, it sounds to me like that must be the biggest thing going in Evelyn Hope. I apologize for not posting more, but RL's been kind of awful to me lately :(. Keep up the good work, Karin. :thumbsup:
Great update, Karin! &apls
It probably comes as no surprise that I'm a big fan of farming communities, and Evelyn Hope looks like a very nice one. I really appreciate the traffic view... it's always nice to see how things tie together. I've very curious to see the development just to the left of Evelyn Hope. It looks very structured and symmetrical... which is something that always seems to interest me.
Hope all is going well,
JB

Hi all! This update should be done yesterday but I had some connection problems. :/
Anyhow, today we shall continue the tour around Evelyn Hope, which is a finished city now. In todays update you will see quite a nice number of pictures alas there shall be no clicking on them today but I added the un-edited versions to the sideshow which will follow.(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi36.tinypic.com%2F68xa2v.jpg&hash=7664aee91d4e11458228a6cd14289d199205c1e7)
So the queen stopped talking and further building has begun and is finished now. Since I don't feel quite myself today, I suggest that we simply move on and see the pictures of Evelyn Hope (there is 14 of them):(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi42.tinypic.com%2Fok5zpj.jpg&hash=2cd283a759cd854326f7d656d318e3bcd6ed5379)

Hi un1! Thank you very much! Well, it might seem as such but here where I live there are farm-fields that are not smooth, but thak you for your input very much! I do hope to hear from you again!
Hi sincitybaby! Thank you very much! I am glad that you liked the town and farms! I hope to hear from you again!
Hi metarvo! Thank you very much! Well, Evelyn Hope has evolved and is not so small anymore, tho. It most definitely is the biggest thing. I would of course show the hotel but there is a "no photos" policy around it so that all the celebrities can have some peace here. :D No need to apoliage, I am having a terrible RL at the moment also so I completely understand. I do hope tho, that things will turn out good for you! I hope to hear from you again!
Hi Jon! Thank you very much! It really doesn't come as a surprise. ;) Well, Evelyn Hope has a mixture of all now, but farming still prevails tho. I am glad that you liked the traffic view. I have to admit that the traffic is a really really weak spot of mine but I hope that at least I am evolving on that subject. I promise to show the development on the left in tomorrows update but that was just a helper tile actually and will be probably exchanged for some more farm fields in future. I hope to hear from you again!Thank you all for visiting and commenting! I appreciate it very much!
Evelyn Hope is looking really good there Karin -both early days and the current version. Those farmers must have hard work working those steep fields!!
I like the low density housing suburbs - they look really good (I like a good suburb).
And it's great that these updates had soooooo many good pictures for us to view.
All the best
Paul
Hi, Karin!

Life moves pretty fast here at Rainbow Falls, thought I was up-to-date and I have noticed I have missed two updates. Everything is looking great as always Karin. I have to ask, what functions did you use to make that wonderful traffic view?
Welcome to page 16!!!
That are two fantastic new updates there!!! Great work on them!!! Nice added effects...
Also nice rural area... :thumbsup:

Hi all! It is time for another update. It shall be a very short 2-pictures one again today, since I didn't had much time but I hope that tomorrow one shall be longer. No promises tho.
Since our good friend Jon (JBSimio) was interested in seeing the development west of Evelyn Hope I decided to include that part in the random pictures series.
Please note, that this town shall not exist for much longer in Rainbow Falls and shall be substituted by farms. It was build up just to provide some help for developing Evelyn Hope and has no other meaning.
So without further ado, here are the 2 pictures (click on them in order to see un-edited versions):(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi41.tinypic.com%2F28kncdg.jpg&hash=875b4b3d6d24462e3b14a5499bac2a4ef544215a) (http://i41.tinypic.com/23jr2mp.jpg)

I hope that you liked todays update.IN NEED OF HELP:
I am terribly sick with those red power lines that came with SC4 and I do know that a steel version exists somewhere out there (the dragable one) but I am unable to find it, so if anybody knows who is a creator or on which exchange they are or anything useful, please tell...

Hi Paul! Thank you very much! I am glad that you liked both of Evelyn Hope updates and the suburbs! Well, since Rainbow Falls has a good portion of magic in it, I believe that even farmers know how to handle some and ease their work. :D I hope to hear from you again!
Hi Dustin! Thank you very much! I am glad that you found the time to check in here again! And hey, you are doing great job in your OSITM time also!!! I hope to hear from you again!
Hi Derry! Thank you very much! I am very glad that you like things in here! Oh, the time, yes... To tell you the truth I am quite short on it and I will be most happy to take a little break when the December ends. How I manage, hm... well mostly I am lucky to have a very extremely understanding partner. :D That would be the best way to put it. But I should also add, that it is not as much playing as it might seem... I just build things in top speed. And well, I had to put on side my playing with LE and gMax and a dozen of other hobbies that I have. :D I do hope, that you will stop by again!
Hi projectadam! Thank you very much! I am glad that you like it! Yea, it is moving fast, faster than I initially thought but well, that just means that I will be doing a new region sooner than I thought. ()stsfd() Hm, the traffic view... to be honest I don't quite remember everything since I was trying out some things but basically what I did was that I first "skew" the picture (more or less same procedure as in perspective tutorial), adjusted "brightness/contrast", then something that I don't remember and for the end I used "poster edges" filter and "fade" it. I hope that that helps. Looking forward to hear from you again!
Hi bat! Thank you! I am glad that you liked the updates and the rural area. I hope to hear from you again!
Hi David! Thank you very much! No need to be sorry, as I said it many times before, I completely understand how hard it is to keep up with all the updates in MDs here! Thank you very much for taking the time and commenting all the updates! I am very glad that you liked them and the pictures and region, seriously, thank you! I do hope to hear from you again!Thank you all for visiting and commenting!
Hello Karin,
Great updates.
As for the power lines, this is what I use in my cities, High Tension Poles by fukuda (http://www.simtropolis.com/stex/details.cfm?id=16152&v=1). I hate the red ones as well.
See you later,
Robin :thumbsup:
Well darn it! I could have sworn I commented here yesterday, but I must have just thought about it a couple times... ::) Sorry about that, Karin!
I really enjoyed the pictures of Evelyn Hope again. The downtown area looks very realistic for a medium sized city and the night view of it is spectaclular! The outlying areas and the suburbs are also very well done. I can actually see the development thinning out as you leave more gaps between buildings. Nice schools too, by the way! :D
Today's update is most appreciated, thank you! It's too bad you say this town may be headed for the chopping block, but I completely understand why you'll be changing it. Judging from the region views, I think farming will fit in there very nicely too. I like the symmetry of this town... it looks very preplanned and well executed. The water feature in the center is also a nice touch. :thumbsup:
See you next time!
JB
Hey Karin
This new update, Part 17, is really fantastic my friend as well. The city is looking so beautiful and I really love how you integrate the canal
Looking forward to the Part 18
Take care my friend, David
Just time for a quick scan of what I've missed this past week. Laljublja City looks great - even the industrial sector looks good! You have some nice parks there, and overall the city is decorated in a pleasing way.
The overview in Part 12 is just stunning, and the post cards in Part 13 are a clever idea. The rural areas in Evelyn Hope look good, and the neighborhoods are charming, too. I'll take a longer look a bit later as I spend the rest of this week catching up. I'm especially anxious to watch all the slide shows.
Later...
Joan

Hi all! I am not sure if I will have time today to do an update so I decided to do a quick teaser for the case that I would be to busy.
So, I did some additional theraforming in the region:(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi44.tinypic.com%2F2aeuvba.jpg&hash=cf5ae47169d614cbb82aa361c7878b289e3589c1)
I will have to smooth some edges there as you can see... (I hate when that happens). And yes, you are correct, there are some roads constructed there already, so lets have a quick closer look:(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi40.tinypic.com%2F2q0rcl4.jpg&hash=af7c465bdb9575985a35b7cb42e5819dd8250537)
If you are guessing that this is the place to which we shall travel next, you are of course correct. Can you also guess what kind of development shall be here? ???
That is something that I am not telling, so you will just have to wait and return later on. ;D
So this would be all for the teaser time and before I turn to bed (it is 3:28 am here ::) ) let me do some replies to those of you who are so kind to leave your thoughts in here:(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi43.tinypic.com%2F1zqty8m.jpg&hash=445d7193b4399d99c27a52f028897fe2aafc76ae)
Hi Robin! Thank you very much for commenting and thank you also for the link to the High Tension Poles! You are a life saver! Thanks again and I hope to see you here again!
Hi Jon! Thanks a lot and hey, please don't apoliage since it is really not needed. It happens to all of us. ;) I am very glad that you liked Evelyn Hope. Well, the schools yes... :D I love them, you know, so let me use this opportunity to say that I believe you did a great job on them and I am very very grateful that you made them. :)
It was my pleasure. ;) If there is anything else that you would like to see closer please don't hesitate to ask. ;) The symmetry of that specific town is something that I need to try really really hard to avoid or all the cities would look alike... it is a grid, you see, that I tend to do on a loads of occasions completely unaware that I am doing it. &mmm And for planning... there was none, I shall not lie, it just happened from some reason. I am glad that you liked the water there because that is something that I am playing with and will most probably do a very wet city someday in the future. :D Thank you again and I do hope to hear from you again!
Hi David! Thank you very much! I am glad that you liked the canal and I hope to hear from you again!
Hi Joan! Thank you very much! I am glad that you liked Laljublja City (by the way, the name I got from Ljubljana, capital city of my country, because I had no idea how to name it ::) ) , the overview in part 12, the postcards and Evelyn Hope (got the name from one of the Poirot (Agatha Cristie) movies $%Grinno$% ). Well, the slideshows will be there, so take your time on them. ;) Thank you very much for commenting again and I do hope to hear from you again!Thank you all for visiting and commenting and I hope that you like the todays teaser!
That are four wonderful teasers! And the terra forming is really great! Nice!
And looking forward to more from this new area... ;) ;) ;)
and also congrats on over 300 replies... just saw that I have posted the 300th...
I'm not brave enough to guess what's going to develop there. $%Grinno$% Anyway, it looks like you are doing a good job with the terraforming, Karin. I tend to lay out the roads first when I develop a new city tile, so that looks like a familiar method of building.

Hi all! It looks that I managed to squiz an update for today. I have just few pictures for you but well, what you should know before we start is that this town is not yet finished.
So today we are traveling to:

Halleny is officially known as The Town of the Bat! Why? Well, it is simple actually! Bat flew into area at the precisely the same time as our good friend bat posted the 300th post in Rainbow Falls. So to honor him, the queen of Rainbow Falls decided to change Hallenys initial name and furthermore, from this day on, all bats in Rainbow Falls fall under protection of the royal family and nobody is allowed to harm them in any way.
Lets check now how The Town of the Bat evolved till now (but remember, we shall return here probably tomorrow when things will change):(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi44.tinypic.com%2F15mzlvd.jpg&hash=664289cdb7b3ab80cddc9a30d660caf84cc484d6)

Hi bat! Thank you very much! I am glad that you liked the teaser and terraforming! Yes, I already noticed that you were the 300th poster and therefore this town is named after you. ;) I hope to hear from you again!
Hi metarvo! Thank you very much! Well, to be honest, just a city. :D I am glad that you like the terraforming! Well, I often just go with whatever pops into my mind but this time, I planned ahead. Looking forward to hear from you again!Thank you both for commenting and thank you all for visiting!
The overview is beautiful, Karin! And the upcoming development certainly will be worth watching for - interesting transport arrangement you've created there and overall in the region.
The B&W photos are nice as a little teaser and, of course, make me want to see the full-color versions. The hotel photo is really nicely done, especially with the pond behind it. That isn't the kind of architecture I'm used to seeing but it's a really well-designed BAT.
Later...
Joan
Thanks for naming that town after my nickname!
And Halleny is looking really beautiful! The black and white pictures are great!
The last picture of that great new update is also fantastic! Like always nice added effects...
Looking forward to the continuation of that tour...
LOoks like BAT will be a very prosperous town! :D
Hi Karin,
BAT looks to be another fine city. I really enjoyed the overviews and the black and white teaser pictures. The farms look great as do the glimpses of the city that you've shown so far. Like Joan, I'll be looking forward with much anticipation to see how this one turns out in the full update.
See you then!
JB
Hi Karin,
More great work from you here (but that is not a surprise). The small town to the west of Evelyn Hope looks fantastic - such a shame it has to go &cry2
The town of the Bat is also looking pretty good. I spot some semi-detached houses that I don't recall seeing before, which is always nice.
Great work on the region views, really like them.
All the best
Paul

Hi all! I am sorry for missing few days here but well, family comes first and I do know that each of you can understand that. From same reason the future updates shall be a bit more sparse than before but I will still at least to try to update each day.
Today we shall again travel the roads of Halleny (also The Town of the Bat) but I have to disappoint you slightly for you shall not see the town itself today but its farming sector which is very important in this particular area. That said, you now know, that in all Halleny will have 3 updates.(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi42.tinypic.com%2F34t5qpe.jpg&hash=ee47921289d7961fc5bbd8757abe6e5504b2b649)
So today we shall see some farms and of course a slideshow. The pictures here are all edited and again this time without the links but at same time they are all also added to the slideshow (besides other pictures) so you can view them unedited there.
You already know that majority of this city makes its living farming so I suggest that we simply view the pictures:(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi42.tinypic.com%2F2lkwhlk.jpg&hash=35a57ffcfc7b79828e88750a38a78ec1ba055573)

The farms are looking great Karin- a nice mix of the old and the modern. The maze also looks quite interesting - what a nice unusual idea to place it there.
I see you found the different power lines - are they functional and are you able to tell me where you got them?
All the best

Hello my friend , Hope you still want ;D cause i miss a lot of update here. So sorry. But i still enjoy to see your awesome work and slideshow. &apls &aplsOnce again have fun and sorry . BTW Merry Christmas :thumbsup:
Great update, Karin! I really find your region shots interesting. I also see some great CAM farms in there, nice job! Working with CAM farms is my current passion! Yours are great, and the placement of the pond is perfect !
Kendra
Your farms are gorgeous, Karin. I've become really fond of the soft touch you give your photos, too.
You have done a wonderful job in OSITM this month - our MDers have set the bar several notches higher these past three weeks. You have nothing to apologize for, so take care of things that won't wait and play the game when you can - it will wait for you and so will we.
Later...

That's a great second part there of that town!

Looking forward to the Christmas gift...
And I wish you also a Merry Christmas!!! :)
Hi Karin,
Your farming update is nothing short of spectacular. You have quite a variety of farms on display here and it makes for a great overview. The pond and the dirt roads are also very nice touches that add a lot to the whole look. I also really liked the final picture with the new electric pylons... they look very nice there... but I also just like that particular farm. :D
Today's update is also very nice. I like all the foot paths winding through your neighborhoods. The night shots are quite impressive and your work on the hills turned out really well. :thumbsup:
What's this I hear? You're handing out gifts on Christmas?!? I can't wait to see what you have planned! ;)
See you then,
JB
Beautiful update as always, Karin! That night shot (second pic) is awesome. You certainly have a wide variety of housing styles in the neighborhoods which makes the overall effect very interesting.
The slide show looks good, too. I really like the recent trend toward multi-media presentations, in part because it's possible to show so much more in a small space.
Looking forward to more...
Joan
Oh yes, very nice. The Town of the Bat is a very nice town. The suburban sprawl is very ordered. I'd be interested to see some traffic stats - I just wonder if some of those houses have very long commute times.
It's always interesting to see the different houses that people get to grow. I've just come over from JBSimio's Covington, and his suburb looks just so different from yours, and in turn they both look so different from the West End suburbs. No one is better than the other - but they all have their own charm. I guess that is one of the beauties of this great game of ours.
The nice shots give a nice feel as well.
All the best for Christmas Karin and I look forward to following Rainbow Falls into 2009.
Paul
Merry Christmas, Karin!
Sorry missing a few more updates, the season's been hectic for us all, no?

No need for being sorry, I am very sure that you had good reasons behind it and besides, you didn't really missed anything since all is still here. ;) I am glad that you liked the cities and thanks for the LEX note! It is probably funny since I am grown up person, but I was and still am totally excited to have that park on LEX. Thank you again and I do hope to hear from you again!Sorry for the shortness of my replies today and thank you all for your wonderful comments!
The next update shall hopefully be up tomorrow, but if not by then then it shall for sure be on a day after!
Merry Christmas yet again!
Merry Christmas, Karin!
What a wonderful way to spend the holiday--a nice big glass of eggnog and the Christmas update of Rainbow Falls!
The animations, the slideshows, everything this just spectacular your my friend!
I hope you and your family have a wonderful holiday, and I'll be back to see what's happening here in Rainbow Falls!
Dustin
Karin I know but still I feel bad though, but anyways Merry Christmas to you and your family!!!! Thank you for the gift and I will be sure to use it well!!! I love this update with animations!!!
Another beautiful update, Karin, and one befitting this wonderful season so well! The slide show looks great - a bit different than what I'm used to but very appropriate for holidays. :thumbsup:
And did you happen to know I'm probably the worst pest around here when it comes to asking for traffic data? If you don't believe me, just ask my fellow NUTs Paul (paroch) and Dave (tooheys)! :D The Traffic Volume Data is the most interesting - you've done a good job of providing drivers with workable choices. Any chance you could throw in a population figure? ;D
May you and your family enjoy the best Christmas ever, then start the New Year with high hopes and wishes fulfilled.
Later...
Joan
What a fantastic Christmas update there Karin.
The pictures with the snow falling are very good indeed - very clever.
The slideshow is also really good, I enjoyed that.
The traffic datat is very interesting - thanks for showing it. It's obvious everything is flowing smoothly.
And the Christmas gift is a very nice touch. When I re-develop the capital of West End I will make sure to place the Rainbow Falls embassy.
Happy Christmas Karin, to you and your family.
All the best
Paul

Hi, my friend! Thank you very much! I am glad that you liked the Christmas update with its content! I was actually surprised to see that there is not as much "red lines" in there as I initially thought they would be. Thanks for your words upon the gift also! It would most certainly be honor to see it in your beautiful MD. Thank you very much for lovely comment and I hope to hear from you again!

Hi, my friend! Thank you very much for your kind comment! I am glad that you liked the update and its content and evermore so that the BAT was to your liking. Thank you again and I do hope to hear from you again!

Another wonderful update there! And the newest slide show is also fantastic! There are beautiful pictures in it!
The update has also superb pictures! Great work on this new update!
Looking forward to more in 2008... ;)
Hehe, even though I was the first person to post, and I've seen all of the updates and teasers after it, it seems I haven't posted here since then. I figured I should do that now, since the work you have been doing here is more than excellent. Your creations already look excellent, and the subtle photo editing you do to them makes them brilliant.
I hope your holiday was a good one!
I really like what you've done with Chris Adams' paths and flora. The pictures of the suburban area with the playground and paths behind the houses reminds me very much of a place I used to live in! And your farms, of course, are lovely. You break the grid up nicely!
Always a pleasure to visit here! :thumbsup:
Kendra
The village is charming, Karin, but it's the farms that steal the show this time! I can tell you've had fun using the RRP plops - they're great, aren't they!
Later...
Joan
I apologize for not posting here lately, but I'm back. Anyway, Beevillage is a nice small town, Karin. I've been playing SC4 lately, so I haven't been reading MD's quite so much, but I'll try to make more time for reading. Although it's already over, I hope you had a merry Christmas, Karin. :)
Hey Karin,
Those farm fields are....are...incredible. The irregular rounded shapes are to die for. Great work as always.
I hope you and your family are enjoying the Holidays.
See you around,
Robin :thumbsup:

Hi Karin,
I've honestly run out of things to say about your updates! The farms look amazing and your towns are just as good. I think my favorite picture from the last update is the final night shot you showed. That building just looks great with the square in front of it. I hope you had a wonderful Christmas (thank you for the gift!) and that you also will have an equally happy New Year.
JB
Hey Karin great last update here!!! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
Hi all!
First let me say a very very big thank you for your very kind comments! I will answer to them as soon as I will be able to.
I am deeply sorry for the lack of updates in this time. I had some other plans for this time alas I cant see them true. Anyhow, so that you wont be thinking where I disappeared to, I am a bit sick, having fever and such and really cant stay before the computer form more than 10 minutes without getting headache.
The updates will continue as soon as I get well enough to spend few hours before the monitor. Since I am feeling a bit better today I believe that should happen fairly soon but until that time I beg your patience. Thank you very much!
I wish you all a very great New Year celebrations!
Yours truly,
Karin ()sick()
Oh, no, Karin!
I hope you are feeling OK, my friend. I was under the weather myself on Christmas Day, so I can sympathize with you.
Get plenty of rest and don't worry a wink about Rainbow Falls--we'll all be here when you're back to 100%!
Have a Happy New Year!
Dustin
Hey Karin - sorry to hear you are unwell - I hope you are feeling better very soon.
I loved the BeeVillage - that large house with the formal gardens is very much at home there - and your farming areas - lovely.
I wish you a very happy 2009,
Paul
Karin, hope you feel better soon. And I'm sure you will - someone with your boundless energy and obvious organizational skills is sure to bounce back quickly. So take care - we'll be here when you get back!
Happy New Year to all...
Joan
Karin, there is absolutley nothing to apoligize for. I hope you feel better soon and I'll look forward to the continuation of Rainbow Falls. As Joan said, with your energy, I'm sure you'll be feeling better soon enough. Until then, take it easy, we'll certainly be here when you are ready for us. Take it easy, and Happy New Year.
-Matt
No need to apologize Karin . Just take care of yourself and comeback when you gonna feel better. Take care and have an happy new year ( I mean if is possible $%Grinno$% )
I also hope you feel better soon! And I wait for the updates in 2009...
And have a good New Year!
I hope you will be back and feeling better soon. :)
Hello Karin,
I wish you all the best in the New Year, and now take care and relax, I wish you to feel better soon :thumbsup:
Don't worry about updates, you made enough excellent work till now, and everybody needs a break from time to time - it is also a good opportunity to get some new fresh ideas :)
Adam
Oh, Karin, I'm so sorry about that. It's no fun being sick, that's for sure. :( I truly hope you get better, and I wish for you to have a great 2009. :)
Hi all!
I am just poping in today in order to let you all know what is going on and that I am still breathing and kicking around!
Thank you all for good wishes! I am glad to say, that my health got better even if there were some slight complications. It seems that mostly I overworked myself. In any case, I feel ok now but need to take it a bit more slow on all subjects of my life.
RL is striking really hard in this month and it demands from me to strike back at it even harder. I am extremely sad to say, that as my health got better two days ago my cousin, a 30 years jung man, died because of fast advancing cancer and therefore, my mood for producing updates is a bit low and I do know that you all understand that.
In addition to that, as if that would not be enough, I have some battlefronts where it is utterly important that I win since the stake are my kids and I don't to gamble on their precious lives meaning I really need to focus.
I wish that I would be able to produce an update since that would mean that at least half of things wouldn't be on the rain anymore, but I cant right now.
But at same time I do want you all to know, that I miss you all and I miss the times updating this MD and admiring your wonderful and inspiring works. I will try to make it up for the lost time when I get back on full time but until then, please keep in mind, that you are not forgotten and that the update for this MD in slowly gaining its shape and is half finished so it should be up in around a week or two.
Take care all and see you again very soon!
Yours sincerely,
Karin
()sad()
Oh, Karin, I'm sorry about the hard time you've had with RL lately. Just as this MD was getting better and better, it seems like one thing after another started happening to you. Take as much time as you need, and don't worry, we'll all still be right here when that update is ready.
Karin,
You just take it easy and take care of all your RL situations first. We are all your friends here and most of us are very patient... ::) and would wait for your next update with no problems. Just rememebr this is just a game and is suppose to be fun.
I hope everything works out well for you and quickly.
Robin ;)
Karin, RL always comes first! Don't stress, we'll be here whenever you are ready! Take care of yourself and your family, and things will fall into place. Be well!
Kendra
Sorry to hear about the difficulties you're having in RL. However, I'm sure you'll get through them all right. I'm sorry to hear about your loss, and I hope the best for you and your children. Don't worry about us here. We'll be here when you're feeling up to an update. Good things are worth the wait.
-Matt
Karin my friend I soo understand where you are coming from!!! If you need a shoulder to cry on, someone to yell at lemme know I am here for ya's my friend!!! You take it easy and as Matt said we'll be here for ya's when you can come back!!!
Patrick
Hello mate , i`m sad about your cousin and don`t stress about your MD we wish you the best for the future and take all the time that you need. Like people said here RL come first. Take care Karin and we gonna be there at your comeback. See U :thumbsup:
Karin, it's wonderful to hear from you! Playing the game must take its rightful place on the list of priorities, of course, but sometimes a journey into the land of fantasy can be a therapeutic break from RL.
You have many friends here, including me, who hold you in thought and wish the best for you. We will still be here when you feel well enough to pick up the pieces and continue with Rainbow Falls. Meanwhile, keep the faith - we will.
Later...
Joan
Best of luck with all the real life troubles! I hope things improve soon!
Also, beautiful work on this region. Those farms in the last update are just stunning!
