Nice lotting! It looks like you put tons of effort into every detail.

I really like the sewage plant the most - I have to ask as to why its on an slope though?

Great job again.

Your challenge 2 is well done according to the rules and the demands. You can now play on 2 more citytiles anywhere in your region. This will be a part of challenge 3. Make sure that you have at least 100 citizens in all three tiles you played in (no population max limit).

Judging of challenge 2

A.   Although the road went through a part that was already covered by route 10, it finally gave access to the southwest, which was not connected. We gave you 4 points for the route challenge.
B.   The powerplant is beautfiful, well placed and good use of lots. Using thermal energy is excellent and fencing is perfect. We gave you 5 points for the power challenge.
C.   We gave you 4 points for the water challenge, simply because the plant looks a little bit too big for a 15K to 25K population in our opinion, otherwise excellently done, good use of lots and very good location.

A Total of 13 Points were added to your challenge.


Congratulations, we are impressed with the details of your pictures ahich surely will give you a lot of points once asked for. Good luck with the next challenge.
