After 12 pages and 3000 views on Simtropolis, the Movian Empire now get's it own spot at SC4 Devotion as an MD.
I decided to do this since I want my country's popularity to grow and make it one of the most prestigious monarchies of Simcity! héhé ;D

Best wishes and I hope you will enjoy your time spend here!! :)

With the first settlement founded around the year 200 B.C, this country has a rich past. Several wars and alliances made the country to what it is today, A glorious Monarchy on Atlantica Alba!
Wait a minute? A monarchy called: The Movian Empire, isn't that an error? No it isn't! After the fall of the Great Movian Empire in 1358, the area was claimed and founded as a kingdom under the same name.

This Empire consists out of three different communities: the English, French and Northern community. That last one is located in between Royal Cytheria and Perseus. Formerly the area was much bigger but Perseus claimed most of the land in the Meninslavian War. The other two communities are located on the south-western part of Atlantica Alba and share borders with Calderwood, Demetae and Bernicia.

Currently, this monarchy counts more than 3.000.000 inhabitants and with a GDP $478.32 billion it is a very rich and prestigious nation. It is also a full member state of the SimCity Journal Union!

Nice mix of pictures there Carmine, well done.  It'll be interesting to see this grow here at SC4D.

One question..... in the first mosaic, what sport is played on the middle pitch?  Is this some Movian speciality sport?

All the best,

You know I've always loved your work Carmine, and this is no exception. I love what you've done with Movia and am always amazed by the detail and crispness of your images! It's absolutely beautiful and yes, I do lurk here and take it all in too often!

Thank you for sharing, and please do not put this on the back-burner anytime soon! It continues to be a major inspiration!

Hi everyone! Time for a new (small) update ;) It's not some fancy suburb or skyscraper-city but a newspaper.
I wanted to post it since it's a really interesting of Times Magazine, a magazine that recently became Movia's nr°1! (yeah, it defeated Movia News!)...

The first thousand page views here at SC4D are the hardest, Carmine- it's all a big coast from here.

Seriously, it's great to see TME achieve "of special interest" status so quickly.  I know you have lots of loyal fans (me included) who have followed this over at Simtropolis- it is really great of you to share with us over here.  As a kindred spirit with respect to incorporation of ancillary content, I've, uh... researched your work quite a few times in the past (especially when I feel my own stock of new ideas running dry).  You are doing first-class stuff here, and it's always very easy on the eyes.

Congratulations, and best of luck this month.

Welcome Peepz! It's time for a new update.. I know you had to wait some time, but it was worth wile =)
Also had to work a bit in our new clothing store which we opened a few weeks ago in Antwerp, Belgium. Luv that =p héhé

Anyway, I told you guys (and girls ) That I would give you some history about Asmara City first:
Asmara City was rather small city located in the Province of Asmara. But when Germany got power in the 2nd World War and started taking over
area's, the Province of Asmara was claimed. The plan was for Germany to control the whole Movian Empire, but that attempt failed.

Soon they started to develop the city with rich apartment buildings in the beautiful German style at one part of the city and the other part became a port
with low wealth commie-blocks. The Province of Asmara has many resources to offer and everything was shipped to the German Empire.
When the German Empire fell and Europe was liberated, Movia got back the control over the Province. But today, you can still see how the rich and the poor
are separated in Asmara City.


Today I'm showing you part one of Asmara City's Port Area. This includes the 2002 expansions and the older port.
In the next update, you will see another part from the older port but you will have to wait for that until next time

So, shall we start? Enjoy the ride! &hlp

Hi Carmine,

A very nice update you've given us there.  The suspensions bridge picture is my favourtie there - really like it.  And of course, the mosaica are very special too, must have taken you some time to get them looking so good.

Today I have a special update for you all, because as stated before in the teaser: the 25th of July was UNION DAY!
The SCJU (SimCity Journal Union) became 3 years old today, which makes it the longest living and most succesful union of all ;)

Of course, Movia joined the celebrations but still kept the terror in mind that occurred at Unity Day this February.
That's why also a remembrance ceremony was set up which was broadcasted LIVE in all SCJU Member States =)

I have some pictures of the LIVE broadcasts from MBC (Movian Broadcasting Corporation). The networks is Movia's biggest tv station and is mostly owned by the Tribune Media Corporation (67 %). That corporation also owns TNNone and the New Burgundian Tribune. Nexio Media Group holds 28 % of the shares and the final 5 % is from other investors.

Now, let's go to some pictures... Enjoy!

Hii everybody!! x Already back with another update & woooooooooooooh, it's a HOT one! :p 3 MOSAICS including my biggest one ever!
I'm doing it this fast because now I'm still OSITM and that gives more visitors! ;D

I promised earlier that Part II of Asmara City would be the Naval Area, but I'm not 100 % happy about it yet.
So instead I'm going to show you a few areas of the city itself, so that I can make few more changes on the navy equipment first

Stop the talking, start showing some pictures =p Enjoy!

» As you can see on top, new skyscrapers have been built near the avenue.. Many new business opened in Asmara City
   because of the HUGE promoting the Movian Government did. They lowered the taxes for all companies who invested by
   opening a new building in the city. The more at the back, the older the buildings.. You can even see some restants from
   the German Reign, although most of those have been demolished in this area.

   you see the SCJU Towers who take care of a lot of administrative work, hold few companies out of SCJU nations
   like Tricore Industries from New Rhodesia, LBU from Lorraine but also Luftkardinal which was recently taken over by Movia Airways.
   Neither of these are HQ's though.. More on this mosaic are the Intercontinental Hotel of AC and a huge Shopping Center.

» The skyscrapers (old and new) of AC's upper downtown area make a great contrast with the apartments in the German Quarter.
   All those apartments date back from the German Reign over the city. They were never demolished because of their beauty
   and it was the only area where richer inhabitants wanted to live. Other landmarks are the huge new stadium (21,000 seats)
   & the State Fair on the embankment of the city. You will see a better picture of this in the next update

   Oh yeah, you might wonder why so few people are on the road at night... That's because of the curfew which is active.
   Residents younger that 25 are NOT allowed outside after 10pm.

Sorry for not showing anything for a while... I have a teaser of the last part of Asmara City for you today. :)
I would have wanted to show you more of the city, but for some strange reason both city tiles of Asmara City seems to crash.
So part 3 will (for now) be the last part. :(

Not only those have the problem though, few other cities have that problem to  It's very sad since I really liked this city, but after trying just about everything I gave up...
Anyway, here's the teaser:

Great stuff here Carmine.

And congrats to the SCJU's third anniversary from an IPON member.

Your mosaics are truly fantastic - very clear and full of great content.  And I like some of the little touches, like the small football stadium and that place that looks as though it could be for a rodeo!

Hii everyone, it's time for a new update! :)
I wanted to post this before, but didn't have the time for it since I went to Greece (Kos).. héhé, really needed the relaxation! =p

Anyway, what I have for you today is the latest update of Asmara City. I wanted to show more of the city but as stated before, the 3 tiles the city is on don't work anymore :s
It's possible that other cities don't work anymore neither, but I haven't had the time to check that yet...

So here's the last part of Asmara City (Part III)! Enjoy &dance

(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg95.imageshack.us%2Fimg95%2F442%2F01vn1.jpg&hash=73216eb47016bbe176d53978883c2e652515b4ee)
» This Cathedral is the center piece of the German Quarter. It's surrounded by few market squares where mostly the elder
   love to go to. It is the only church in the entire city since all other got destroyed during the German Occupation.
   Why they did that is currently still unknown.

» Here you can really see the contrast of old meeting new. Above is the German Quarter and the newly built St. Addielins Clinic
   leads you into the modern part with the Museum of Modern Arts and the Commercial Office Tower which holds 23 companies
   and a large mall on the base floor.

» Also on Alexandra Avenue and actually right next to the buildings from the previous mosaic are more new skyscrapers.
   All of them are for commercial use. About 5 years ago this area was filled with regular low-rise buildings but the city needed jobs
   and the Movian Government decided to demolish few pieces of land and awarded big tax-advantages for companies who decided
   to build they HQ here. And I must say that the result is breathtaking!

» The contrast between shops and apartments are still high in this part of the city. Commercial buildings are more modern
   and wealthy compared to the poor, big and old residential blocks. But shops had to invest here since there's no possibility
   to open such big stores but that doesn't cut their profit since inhabitants of the German Quarter would else have to go to
   Eure to find the first hi-retail stores, so they don't mind :)

» Last but not least is the building I showed you in the teaser. Asmara City's Trade Tower which holds ACTC (Asmara City's Trade Corporation).
   Everything that goes in and out of the port facilities and airport is arranged here.

And here's something new I made yesterday... It took me few hours of work but I'm really proud of it!
This will now become my official newspaper which I will use 'till the end of my days...

Before I always made a new one because I wasn't totally happy about it. But this one finally really looks like a newspaper
Hope you all like it just as much as I do ;):

None of my cities work anymore: New Hélia, Epinay, Malum, Asmara City, ... they're all gone!
But, after a month I got over it and that's why I'm here to announce my new project:

Hoping that by doing the math that page 7 will not start until post 120 so I thought I would post something in the meantime. Carmine, what a fantastic MD this was and I cannot wait for the next one. This MD I felt really separated itself from others with the Newspapers, Breaking News and Fashion Shows!!! I know how much a lost region can hit the morale so just wanted to say that I am glad that you have new plans on the horizon and am sad that your current region went offline when I just read it for the first time now. Waiting for the next one to come out with much anticipation  ;)
