Welcome to my first MD, here at SC4Devotion!
I have been inactive in playing "SimCity" for quite a long time but I've decided to try once again.

This time I'll present a fictionall, central-europe country called Austrium. It's name is simillar to the real - world country, Austria, on purpose. That's because I really enjoy being in Austria (although I'm from Poland) and because my MD will be stylized a little on Austria's landscape.

As you can see on the map above, Austrium is located in central Europe, bordering such countries like Austria, Slovenia, Croatia, Italy, Switzerland and Germany.

Enough writing, let's start with some in-game content:

Update 1: Introducing Sillian Valley




This is the region which I intend to work with for a couple of days. I hope you will enjoy watching as it develops with me!:)

As for now I don't have much done, but I have something to share with you guys.

An overview of the city tile where the main city (Sillian) will be located:

And for closing a little animation showing how I have developed the 'old stone bridge' area:

And you had better be good, especially with your rail lines if Bernhard (Nardo69) says he is going to be watching you. ;)

Nice job! Congratulations.
The river is amazing.

Wonderful start!  I really like that animation showing the gradual addition of details!   That's a very cool idea!

What a fantastic start there, robercik !
I like the region very much, and it fits well with the geographic area you choosed (a nice one btw..  :) ). The main city starts well, nice work with the different transportation systems.
Looking forward to more !

Update 2: developing the "valley gate" area


At the beginning I want to say sorry for the long delay.. I promised to make an update "soon" and today 20 days have passed actually:), but here it is now:

The "valey gate" is the area where the mountains "open" and the valley begins (see the map-like picture at the top of this page for better understanding). The part I have focused on today is located at the beginning of the Sillian city, near the river.

general overview:

I hope you enjoyed this update:)

thanks for watching,
rob

Rob, oh my god ! The last animation is really fantastic my friend, excellent work !

Your detailing level is really unbelievable ! In the case of the trees, that is good, and also for some other details like the road in work, the flora around the river and everything near and in the farms. great custom lotting too my friend, I must say that this little café and gas station is a great touch, also as the wind power plant.

Looking forward for more !
Arthur. :thumbsup:

No apologies necessary!  You've done a gorgeous job putting all this stuff together.  It all looks fantastic!  The roadwork on the highway is a particularly appealing detail! 

 :o

That's just the first thing that came to my mind. This is an absolutely wonderful MD you've started here Rob. As Battlecat said, there is no apologies necessary for the wait. The huge amount of detail you have put into completing the area is wonderful. I'm a detailer as well, so I really do enjoy this. I also spot a lot of custom lotting in the area. It is just absolutely wonderful.

Ethan

Thats a lovely little piece of land right there, you have completely covered it with EVERY detail I can think of! Great stuff!

Wow this is an awesome start!!!! I love the region you're using and the current city sqaure looks amazingly detailed with some great lotting.

Will

Wow! Excellent start! Eagerly awaiting more!

               -Jordan :thumbsup:

Woow, an great European CJ MD..
b.t.w, Can you tell me how I made an bridge-connection in one of the first pictures you've made?
(please send me a message back)

- Giel

Wow, that's nice! I do like the horsies :D  &apls

Just awesome  :o :o :o, now i know what details it's about, very very nice to watch. I will follow your work very closer, and in bonus, we have this fantastic animation, i even don't know we can do this can of things 10/10

This is a beautifully detailed update. The farms are of course perfect for this place. I especially liked the image with the windmill, very well done. &apls

Just impressive and amazing work on the LE!!! :o :o

The way as you present your updates are entirely revolutionary, but not for reason of the animations (that are marvelous), but yes by the big quality and beauty of your cities! I'm liking a lot of your MD!!!  &apls &apls

Great update! That small road construction is really nice. I also like how you connected the wind power plant with the RRP gravel paths.
And your pine woods look better than mine ...
