The 25th July is the official founding of the SCJU (http://www.scju.org) and to mark the very special day this year, Royal Cytheria has put on an array of festivities for the people to enjoy.
The main event was a concert starring no other then.......

.....The Sugababes, Placebo and Dame Shirley Bassey!
The event was due to take place in Parliament Boulevard but due to a recent security scare the venue was moved to the Royal Akai Stadium in Leon-Owen.

It is indeed with some sadness and yet excitement that i must inform you all of my CJ being put on hold. Royal Cytheria is currently undergoing a bit of a re-generation which will bring even more realism and enjoyment for me and those of you who follow my CJ.
I will of course update every now and again with teaser shots and of course the results for the SCJU Wonder.
So i leave you for now and hope you follow once re-generation is completed. :) ;)
Will be waiting in anticipation Pip :)

I wonder.....I wonder...... re-generation you say..............:D
I'm looking forward to it
Looking forward to the first pictures after the re-generation! ;)

Well it has certainly been sometime since i last updated!! I was planning on providing updates on the regeneration of RC but RL got very busy and i didn't really have much time to work on it.
I've completed Sutton and di have Leon-Owen ready but i've not been happy with the city layout so i'm re-doing. All cities are on large tiles and i've recently completed a motorway, highway for you Americans :P, that stretches 11 large tiles long from Sutton to Leon-Owen!!
So when i do get round to giving you full updates i will be certain to show you!
Anyway....more info when i get the time but i thought i'd show a couple of piccies, rest assured more are on the way! :)

Thanks for all your comments guys, it's really appreciated!
But i have some news...
...Some of you may know that i was hit by a virus on Monday evening and due to my lack of knowledge on handling them i lost everything on my computer. I therefore no longer have RC and thus cannot provide you guys with updates anytime soon.
I will be updating on the goings on in RC as well as the Wiki while i re-build, so don't think you've gotten rid of me.
Over the days i've come to think of it as a blessing in disguise lol.
Anyway, expect a news update in the next few days :)

That's bad news pip.
Hope you overcome the problem and will be waiting for RC or it's successor to return. Either way, it will be worth the wait.
Good luck
Dave
That sure is bad news. :(
Good luck rebuilding it all :thumbsup:

I hate to hear that...good luck with your future reconstruction. We await new pics of a new space ;)

I've finally gotten round to doing a new newspaper and i've started work on Leon-Owen today. I'm really pleased with the progress i'm making so far so expect teasers soon!

Just a few images of whats going on with Royal Cytheria.
A new Road and Rail link has recently been completed linking Royal Cytheria with the Imperial Atlantan Colony of Perseus.
Here is the Cytherian entrance/exit.

The rail connection links directly to the Capital, Leon-Owen but has to first travel through the Cytherian countryside. The first sight of Leon-Owen is when you reach the Royal Borough of Oakwell, which is a quaint suburb just south of the city.

Onto Leon-Owen now and i have decided to redo the entire city centre. I was very unhappy with the layout and the river just looked odd. So i have wiped it clean and come up with this. I'm planning on the small island area to the south to be where the governmental buildings willl be.

Hi Pip,
I've scrolled through most of your MD and have to compliment you on a very varied and interesting MD here. I like the way you've made it more than just a collection of pictures.
My only question on the last update is whether you'd considered removing the one-way arrows? I think it would make the "chateau" pic look much better.
All the best
Paul
Nice teaser pip, the castle looks grand :thumbsup:
Can't wait for the full update.
