Welcome! New Corsica was started on Simtropolis, but after 8 pages, I decided to start it here too! A bit of info on my style: I tend to like countryside and euro themes more that metropolises. However, the occasional large city is fun to make and thus you can count on seeing any and all styles expressed here.
So here's a little history to get you warmed up...
NOTE: THIS ENTIRE MD AND ALL ASSOCIATED HISTORY IS COMPLETELY FICTIONAL
Note: All Images Linked to Full Versions!
New Corsica was first discovered by the Greeks in 128 B.C. The Greeks colonized the island and coastal farming communities developed. Over time rowhomes and roads as well as early civic improvements were constructed, and life went on in a lazy, unaffected Mediterranean fashion.

In 3 B.C., the Island was invaded by the Persians, and a fierce battle was fought. The local Greeks were defeated and the surviving Hoplites and Legionnares were imprisoned and taken off the island. This occupation was short lived however, as the Athenians liberated the islands twelve years later.

In 1709, the French rediscovered the island and set up a trading post there. As a result, European architecture developed and spread on the island. Today, a large French quarter still exists, although modernized buildings are slowly replacing some areas.

Nice job. I really like the city. :)
looking good! You've used the French ploppables very nicely! I'd relot some of those bare tiles in that plaza and use some different trees in that park, tho, and maybe get a uniform sidewalk mod ;) Great start, and great work so far! Looking forward to more!
Lovely Euro style city square area. I do have to be a knit-pick about the history though. The Greeks colonized between the Second Persian War and the Peloponnesian War. That's around the 5th century BC. Other than that, great start, can't wait for some of the larger areas to be shown.
Good start! Can't wait to see some wider shots of the area for some context, too!
Hey Smarty great start here and I liked the background info on Corsica and the pics are pleasing as well!!! See you next update....
Impressive beginning smarty218 &apls very well planned out and structured. Loved the pics...loved the whole package. Look forward to the first update.

Update 1: Roha Slums
Well, save the best for last, people say, so in that fasion I will give you the grittiest, dirtyest update first.
This is the worst kept secret in New Corsica, and nobody's proud of it. But hey, someone's gotta do the dirty work.
Roha is an industrial town just south of the wealthy tourist trap town of Buelova, which is the home of ancient Greek ruins and long sandy beaches. Roha, however, is low wealth and dirty, the air choked with smog from the factories. The houses are in disrepair and 10,000 people live here in poor conditions.

Update 2: Buelova: A "Fake" Town Part 1
Buelova: Statistics
Province: Capital District
Population: 2,340 (Last Census)
Main Industry: Tourism
Buelova, just northwest of Roha, is a resort town formed in the 1980's near a few ancient Mycenean ruins. Unknown to most tourists, the town is actually a "Fake". It was completely constructed in one year to serve as an attraction to the tourists. From the ground it is quite spectacular, but from the air (as we are viewing), one can see that it is not authentic.
(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg86.imageshack.us%2Fimg86%2F6868%2Fbuelovajun3001203626789xo5.jpg&hash=3f0a28aabd13da90386a0ea78c8c416a02f75b5a)
Buelova is a popular stop for cruise liners such as this one. There are no docks big enough here, so they stop about a half mile from shore and the passengers disembark onto small sailboats from the mainland.

For people from the islands out to sea and the surrounding parts of New Corsica, there are ferry docks with ferries arriving and departing hourly.

For close-by islands and areas there are fast water taxis that arrive and depart from a row of docks.

Hey smarty that was a great last update and the video is well i dunno I cant see it at the current time siiiiigh.......
Nice new MD you started here - I get a nightmare thinking about that underground shopping mall... what a labyrinth !
Unfortunately the link did you start your video. Think it works better with this one (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=GXHGirApUHI)
Very nice video, love the music :thumbsup:
That's a wonderful video there! Also like that music! And thanks to sebes for the right link!
Looking forward to more from New Corsica...
Great third update smarty :thumbsup: Your commercial district looks fabulous and I love the underground shopping center. Tried to view you're video, but it's no longer there :( I'm sure it was good though :)

Smarty that looks real great and did you know with SAM you could make those dirt roads really work, as I think if im not wrong those are just plopped?
Fantastic work on the farm area and update! :thumbsup:
This steep road and the square are looking lousy in the centre of field. But behind this coast it is quite fairly good. ()stsfd()

Wow! :thumbsup: very big! I likeyour terminal design and the dramatic runway and control tower.
That is HUGE airport, very impressive! I feel sorry for those people who's gate is all the way around that curve though!
I like what you've done...its seems like its a city by itself! It mustve taken countless of hours to do. Again, very nice.
The terminal that you build is absolutely awesome... one of the best I have ever seen. Very good job Smarty~!
Excellent work on that airport there! Fantastic pictures of the area! Looking forward to the next wonderful update! ;)
