WoW...splendid mosaic &apls
it is very successful, the Germanic style is very beautiful and your cathedral too !
and I like your industrial park all in north and I am impatient to see some more !

Amazing work Chris, I am so excited to see the rest of Samkir, especially Yjervan.
I like the widespread use of grass in all the lots, very realistic. Is this a nation in the real world or Sim world also?
It looks great but I don't really get it. There are Armenian letters in the name, yet in the city there are dutch and german historical houses and a cathedral. Next to a bunch of oil reservoires.
Maybe you could give us some clues as to what we're looking at here?
I wonder the same thing what Mulefisk is. Armenian / Caucasian country would have more Russian / Turkish looking cities.
The nation is part of the Adrian Union (http://www.adrianunion.org/Adrian%20Union), therefore Samkir is techincly not on Earth, and cities in Samkir may differ in style.
beautiful church. Is it originally from Berlin in RL? looks familier. Great work TSC.
Great start with a wonderful mosaic! Samkir is looking great, too!
Looking forward to more of Samkir...
Great start, that is a beautiful mosaic.
Looking forward to more.
Fabulous start! So far, Samkir looks much different then your previous styles. Can't wait to see some more of your fabulous work! :)
Cheers! :thumbsup:
Umm Simkir is in Azerbaijan, why is it using Georgian.
Shouldn't it be using Latin, or Cyrillic?
Unless, it it expands to Georgia.
Good to see you have an MD here at SC4D Six Cents.
And I like the mosaic alot. I like the mix of BATS, regardless of where they come from. I look forward to seeing more of your development in Samkir.

The Tomb of Andrea Akopovich, Wife of the Archbishop, is located 57 Kilometers North of Yjervan, but

warconstruct- Thanks Man! One of the nicer comments :)
Amerikaner- Thanks Luke
Yoman- Naw, Its only in the SimWorld for the time being.
Mulefisk/Krio/TheGunkid- Changed the Text, but like i said, the country exists in the SimWorld.
Pat Riot- TY Pat
jrhnemo- Im glad you like it.
paroch- A Nice Comment :)Thanks :)
bat- Thank you very Much.
bigberta- I am in love with your new MD!
Excellent! It reminds me of Russia.
Whats up with that multicolored dome? Its crazy :D
Nice photoshopping, good work with the Tient Embassy.
Wow! What an amazing update! The city has a definite feel to it, you don't wonder "where am I?" :) Fantastic!
Cheers! :thumbsup:
The second update is wonderful there! And great mosaics and pictures of Samkir!
Bonus pictures are also fantastic!
Looking forward to the third update...
Just to let you know that "Samkir" is "Самкир" in both Russian, and Azerbaijani Cyrillic.
I don't know where you got "Vyelikaya and Cpravyedlivaya Republic" from.
EDIT: OK, I think we've exhausted the debate on the correct usage of Russian, Azerbaijani, or any other alphabets. TheSixCents has explained his reasoning for using the alphabet that he has chosen and, since it's his MD, is free to use any alphabet he desires. Let's move away from this, shall we? - Dustin (thundercrack83)
Woa ! It's fantastic :thumbsup: !
It Means "Great and Fair Republic".
Please leave me alone, though.

I think your city is great 6cents, no matter where it is! Keep up the good work! I really like the vivid colors!
It's pretty good actually, nice lotting work! :thumbsup:
Great update there SixCents. I've been to the "real" Yerevan in Armenia and they have (or had, it was 1997) LOTS of grey buildings, but some pretty amazing large squares/plazas. I think many of your pictures capture this, particularly the last three. I seem to recall the trams they had were big very grey looking things! I am sure things have changed now though.
Really like the multi-coloured dome building and the use of diagonals. And the embassy is pretty cool as well.
And don't worry about what people say about the writing/alphabet, you are developing your own style MD here and it's a good one.
Keep it up SixCents and you'll have a popular MD on your hands :thumbsup:
Hehe, just read your reply to my comment, that's really flattering :) I'm glad you like my MD and I must say that I really like yours as well. The saturation reminds me alot of our friend iamgoingtoeatyou. And that is not a bad thing mind you. Keep it up! :thumbsup:
I love this! Very Central Asian/Eastern European. Yjerevan reminds me a bit of Warsaw with the buildings, and the canal/river reminds me of Berlin. ;D Keep it up!
Great update. Great photoshopping and good layouts. Turning down the saturation a bit on a couple of the pictures gives a nice atmosphere.
Looking forward to the next update.
Update Two:
Авеню Республики, or Avenue of the Republic, is another main thoroughfare in Yjervan City.
It runs through South Yjervan, a district that has shown alot of growth recently.

That's all for today, I will show single pictures of the area tomorrow or Sunday. Cheers!
Very sexy mosaic SixCents! Great use of buildings and OH MY GOD I love the canal ;)
It all fits perfectly =) Well done!!
Thats a great euro mosaic, i like the avenue with the dividers, also the canal its interesting :thumbsup:
Great MD, TheSixCents. I really like the Eastern Europe redeveloping feel of your cities.

Sorry but I can't help myself, I find this quite funny,... what kind of fashion statements do we get from the Archbishop, another Nun's habit in black this spring? :D
I really like the images you have presented to us so far, lots of strong colours and a nice mix of old and new buildings. The Grand Avenue is looking magnificent.
That new mosaic is looking wonderful there!! Great work on the avenue! :thumbsup:
great mosiac, how do the boats get through to the other side of the canal though? shouldn't that be a bridge?
Now that's what I would consider a splendid mosaic. :thumbsup:
Very good I want more :thumbsu ;Dp:
Excellent work, this is one truly stunning mosaic &apls
Can't wait... I really like this MD!
Wow, this is amazing!
New Burgundy would love to open relations with Samkir
