The last couple updates are fantastic.  The most recent one is great but the detailing in the previous update is simply gorgeous.  Looking forward to more as always!

Fantastic update nedalezz. Are you setting us up for some good ole' fashioned political corruption?  Again... I don't know why but I love to actually read your MD unlike many others. Also Wildbank is looking real amazing.

EPISODE TWO - CHAPTER ONE

AD (After Destruction) Thirty-Three (Three Years After the Founding of Wildbank)

Sheriff Turner Tower sipped his freshly brewed cup of coffee and looked out on to Main Street. It was your usual weekday morning – a few motors and bivans driven by out of town traders coming in for supplies, a few locals on their way to work, and children being taken to school by their parents. It had been around two years since he came to town, escaping the raging war that was taking place in the north between the Haven Republic and the Earthener with his wife and two children, and it was Ray Black and Tiberius Driver who took him into Wildbank like so many others before and after him. After the population started to increase rapidly, they assigned him as the new Sheriff and head of the Wildbank Police, a group consisting of four men tasked with keeping order within the town. That was just about a year ago – since then, his stature within the town had grown, earning the trust of both the two men in charge and the townsfolk.


Serving under him were Vern Harman, Chris Danube, and Storm Sol, all honest, good men who truly had the good of the town and its people at heart. Braxton Stone used to be the 5th member, but he was banished from Wildbank when he tried to use his newly given power for personal gain. Their leader, Sheriff Tower, was a family man with high morals and ethics, which was the primary reason why Black had given him the title. Ray Black had become something of a hero, his story spreading throughout Haven as protector of the weak and provider of the needy. He owned most of the land around the town, including all the farms he had set up. He had the two biggest companies in town, too – Ray Farms and Ray Fisheries.


Tiberius Driver was the local genius, and the glue that kept the town together. He had registered Driver Energy as his own, and had bought solar powered towers that gave electricity to the entire town and its surroundings. Not only that, but he had built two water mills that pumped water to the town as well, and although the piping that was laid out about a meter underground was primitive, it still got water to the houses and farms. Between them, Driver and Black employed almost all the town. There was the odd trader here and there, the biggest of which was the Homestead family, who owned livestock that consisted of earthen cows and chickens to the Haven indigenous animals like woodlets and grats. The rest were minor traders who made their currency the usual way – trade and barter.


Wildbank was not the only town that was growing and advancing, however. Almost all the towns that were once isolated from one another in the Great Barrens were now progressing. In Frontier, for example, the town "chief" Jim Benstrike had constructed a cement factory that was supplying to the entire region. Still, Wildbank was a success story, and the freedom and peace that the town afforded to its residents was not found anywhere else. Ray Black was initially skeptical of accepting people to live on his land, but he has since embraced his role as a freedom fighter who was giving the good people of Haven a second chance at a better life.


So far, the war that was going on in the north between the Haven Republic, which had amassed large amounts of weaponry rumored to have been manufactured in Janneh City itself, and the Eartheners had not started making its way south. It was primarily being fought on the coast, where large reservoirs of Tilkan gas were recently discovered, a resource both sides valued dearly. For what it was worth, Black had registered all of his land in accordance to the Haven Republic laws, and he even had a couple of visitors come in from Janneh City, but his loyalty did not lay with them. He was just delaying a conflict for as long as possible. For now, however, the Sheriff was on high alert – Black had informed him this morning that Benstrike had sent word that he had not forgotten the incident of three years ago and was time for him to come and "collect."

Wow. The town is looking more and more beautiful.  And I see you have taken a liking to the SPAM. Also, stop leaving these cliffhangers.

Another fantatic chapter.   I like the new models and style, looks much more realistic.

Cool use of lots of new custom stuff...Girafe's trees, the SPAM. It all works great together. That first picture is at one time vibrant and barren...no easy task my friend.   

[peter007]

Very nice farms.
The overview is a very good picture

A quick teaser from Cedar, which had hit 150,000 people! As it prepares for the upcoming election (the focus of our next few updates), I just wanted to show you downtown Cedar as it looks today. Enjoy!

Resized your pic my friend. -Robin 

[travismking]

wow 150k residents and not much of a skyline, I like it, but would have expected it to be taller

[Reikhardt]

I love it! The higherise buildings look perfect in the centre of the residential suburbs, not too tall or out of place! 

[noahclem]

Cedar is looking beautiful, congrats on the 150k mark! Great rural areas and story in the previous update as well 

[Schulmanator]

A charming town. Nice update.

[kwakelaar]

I would say Cedar has come a long way, looking forward to your following updates.
