Welcome to Brunsdorf!
Brunsdorf, with merely 1200 inhabitants, is a rather small village in the Empire of Leviathan.
The village itself was first mentioned in 1273 due to the castle being build on a steep hill in that year.
Since 1978, Brunsdorf has a quite huge railway station. Most people would say, that it is too big for such a small village, but in fact it is not.
The railway station of Brunsdorf is the only train station in an area of 40km². This might sound unrealistic, but the train line mostly passes fields, but no other village.
Now let us have a look at the map (click on it if you want to see it without description):

Bravo!
Awesome work Fabian!
Again, this is shaping up to be quite a competition...
Splendid picture Fabian. &apls
This work at the lot editor is really fabulous.
It's really wonderful Fabian! &apls
Guillaume :thumbsup:
A lovely teaser, and great to see someone using the Carolath palace bat. ;)
I like this :thumbsup: it's very realistic ! enjoy
Hi there!
Just to let you know: I just posted my entry in the initial post.
It may take some time to load all the pictures - so please be patient :thumbsup:
In total you should see 17 pictures (including header and so on) - if you can not see all, please post
Comments would be appreciated :),

Fantastic entry &apls &apls
Very spectacular, well done. :thumbsup:
I can just imagine the amount of time you've put in and it really pays off.
It really shows off your skills. &apls &apls

Another splendid pictures, the mosaic is really fantastic. &apls
It's too beautiful :o
Extraordinary work on this little tile, I have to say it's absolutely extraordinary. &apls &apls &apls
even if it's not necessary, :D I wish you good luck for the competition :thumbsup:
Yann ;)
it's truly breathtaking, but may I ask why sooooo dark?
I did not see all the pictures last time. This is really one the the best made European towns I have ever seen. I really am blown away. &apls
I'm used to superbness with your work, but this is truly astonishing! :o
Such wonderful details! I have to agree with kwakelaar on this one: most beautiful european city I've ever seen! &apls &apls
-Stijn-
Jaw-dropping. Absolutely splendid. Unfortunately I think the railway station (though it's a great bat) is kind of a misfit in such a small village. It's to large in my opinion. Buts that's about the only minus between a whole lot of thumbs up. :thumbsup: &apls
Awesome work, it's very typical of european village.
Just one thing like RBC told, the railway station is so big for a so small village. But the castle is so nice :)
Thanks a lot everybody for your really nice comments so far. :) :) I will answer all of them individual, soon. Thanks again.
I just wanted to say something about that train station: I already explained why it is rather huge in my initial post ;) So I don't think that it is that absurd to have such a huge train station :thumbsup:, since a lot of trains pass that village.

In a few days, we will be copying your entry across to the Judging Board
where the SC4d public will select the winner by way of poll.
Goodluck :)

spectacular! Wow, those cliffs are awesome, HD textures no doubt, what are they? Also love the "docking yard" of the train station, um what's the collective noun for sleeping trains? (don't answer that)
Quotethose cliffs are awesome
I agree. These are very nice pictures. I also like that you used very hilly terrain as it really adds to the scene.
Great job! You've really used the terrain to it's full advantage!
Moinsen! :)
Nice one. The railway station looks a tad oversized but is laid out nicely for sure. Good work with the timberwork houses, I guess one day I need to do a special timberworks plugin folder, too ... &Thk/(
Good luck with the votes!

Welcome to the City of Vulhop!
Vulhop is a city in the Empire of Leviathan. With almost 2.520.000 it is one of the biggest cities in the Empire. It is not only well known for it's preservation of 19th century architecture, but also for it's modern buildings. The city is a mix of both and is considered as one of the most beautiful cities. In addition to that, Vulhop has the highest density of millionaires in Leviathan.
Anyway... let us have a look at the map of the city center, first:
(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg695.imageshack.us%2Fimg695%2F9083%2Foverviewu.png&hash=8f2ae12da94a1a060fbc0e8bc3551200b9335627)
The first thing you will probably notice is the boulevard, leading to the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church. On the bottom left you will find the second church, directly in front of the canal.
You might also spot the huge park with a small lake in it.
Now we'll have some closer looks as well:

Edit: By the way, I didn't photoshop that picture, I just used the sharpening-tool... but now I'm not sure whether it is sharpened too much??!
Please let me know, so that I know it for the future ;)
Ooh, Fabian you need to let me know where you get your Euro W2Ws..

Hi Fabian
Let's just say that would be the upper extent of what we would consider acceptable, so perhaps just a little less sharpening to play it safe. Of course the main test will be the cathedral itself, a lot that everyone will have and something that can be compared across the board.
Anyway nice little teaser :thumbsup:, or bit of misdirection :D
Cheers
Dave
Nice work on that area of that nice teaser!
And looking forward to the finished town... ;)

Hope you like it (needs a little bit work though, especially on the canals) ;)
I'm in a hurry right now (waiting for my teacher... driving lessons ::)).
BTW... don't want to complain, but I somehow question the sense of only showing pictures with a church on ()what() - it will cause us to only concentrate on some points of our cities... the rest will remain unshown anyway...
Fabian :)

Not a problem Fabian. But that is part of the challenge and why we are still using a small tile this time around. Placement of your churches will determine just how much you get to show of your town so planning becomes an issue. Don't forget though that with something like the KW, you only have to show say the very top of the spire for the pic to count and there are no restrictions on what zoom you use. It just may be you can't show all your town in as detailed views as you would normally prefer.
We hope to provide a different challenge each comp, some will be easier than others, though some will find the easy ones hard and visa versa. This time round, the photo rule is probably the hardest part.
Hope that answers your query :)
Dave
Realy realy good fabian, looks very realistic! :thumbsup:
This newest teaser is also great!! :thumbsup:
The first pic reminds me a bit of the Schillerplatz in Mainz. Not far away from the Dom (Cathedral) (http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mainzer_Dom) and the Stephanskirche (http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Stephan_(Mainz)). My Grandma lived there.
The second picture ... looks different but not worse. Let's see how much more surprises you will show us!
Take care!
Bernhard :thumbsup:
Looks like the compettion is going to be tough again, great lotting Fabian :thumbsup:
Yeah, just one last teaser - I hope I'm able to finish my city on time... I still need to fill quite a lot of places &mmm.
