Far Away

[Q-Tips]

I'm Back and the last distance for Mossa are ahed of us :

2.13

We drive the road up along the river. You know, in case we get thirsty.

2.14

Ok, you seen all the way we are going already on the mosaic. So lets rather look back. In that way we get the view from an oppostie direction.

2.15

The tunel...

2.16

So here we are. MOSSA!!!
By the way, did i tell you i once knew a lady name Mossa? This was the old traditional woman living in a small rural village. She alway knew what all neighbours where doing. No affairs without here knowing.

2.17

Ooooohhh!!! Two roundabouts in this town! A real metropolis!

2.18

Mossa is a town with a population of 4872. It is the administration center of the district. Mossa have a rather low unemployment and besides from service and trade, Mossas main workforce are tied up in an cement plant, brewery and some other minor industries.

2.19

Mossa have a community who tries and works hard on the sportive side. Their local basket team are currently playing in the top division. They also have a football/soccer team who currently play in the 3 division.

2.20


2.21

Mossa's rail station. But as you can see, theres a home for elder just besides. So for the sake of silence, trains are strictly forbidden.

2.22

Thats the last you will see of Mossa today. Tomorrow i will continue at the northern side of Mossa.

That canyon is very, very well done; I especially like the rock placement along the plopped river. The bridge is also professionally done

My favorite pic of the update, though, is the overview shot of the town as it transitions from the residential zone into its industrial zone. Great job.

[Battlecat]

Wow!  Your work here is incredibly inspiring!  You've really got talent when it comes to detailing your rivers and shorelines!

[Rady]

You've got very detailed areas around there! And I love your way of story-telling! Keeps me smiling, and that's good after a hard days work. Wish I could turn to my MD right now ... if it weren't for RL 

[Sciurus]

Waow, really really wonderful!!!

[Q-Tips]

I have something fabolous for you taday
If you have seen the mosaic of Mossa, the upper part ends at the highway. Today i am going to take you even further up. Isnt it fantastic? Real amazing? Some day i might even extend the mosaic, just for the sake of braging. But not today.

2.24

Here it is : The highway bound to Victoria City.

2.25

I wasnt all pleased on how i managed building the highway. I got it better other places, but i figured it be good enough.

2.26

Here you see the upperside of highway.

2.27

A village?

2.28

A closer look on the village.
Its main tourist attraction? Maybe the church?
Oh, a building went wrong direction. Hmmmm. Why didnt i see it before now?

2.29

And now we drive even further up.

2.30

What is the odds? Another river.

2.31

This is it. This is what it all starts from : A dam. Not excactly the Hoover Dam. But i am still shure its good for the community.

I might come back later for this district, as there is still many places around i havent let you see. But for next part i will go to Bonita. The second largest city in Farawaystan. You can see the city on the regionview. It is situated on a larger island in the west.

Great pics! The highway looks good! Maybe have a slower incline. Good-looking farms too!

I just fell in love with that little village, lovely lovely little place.

As for the roads leading to the dam, you left no stone unturned, truly focusing in on every detail and making sure it was done right.

Great update!

[Tomas Neto]

Yeah, great updates!!! The rural area is very real!!! 

[art128]

Absolutely amazing !
Seriously, this is just amazing, the only word that comes to my mind when I see these pictures is Amazing !
I like everything you've done and used in the updates, in the last one, nice work with the smooth curves ! The interchange is aslo really nice, but you'd be better downloading the last texture mod for RHW.. because I can see some American textures at the exit way .. 

Take care,
-Arthur. 

[Sciurus]

This is just splendid and magnificient!

Guillaume

[penguin007]

Awesome update there I really like the curvy streets and the motorway junction looks very realistic

Will

[kbieniu7]

Great work! It looks faboulous, especially those forest Just I think the slope on the junction is too hard. 

[SeanSC4]

Excellent update! I love your use of fractional angles on the roads and rail.   

[rooker1]

Aweome pics. 
Great work with the plopable water.  That one lake in the 2nd last update look very realistic.  Love the damn too.  But after trying so hard to make everything look sooo good I 'm unsure why you choose to build a raised train bridge over the highway and to make a flat road bridge over the highway.  I think it should have been the other way around.  I may have looked alot better if you would have made the train bridge relatively flat by dipping the highway down and the road bridge should have been the hill type over the highway.  If you have the time and some patients I would love to see you give it a try and post comparisons.

Just my two cents...

[Battlecat]

Love the details you're putting in here!

[bat]

Great work on your region/ city! It is looking really nice!

[Q-Tips]

art128 : Thanks for noticing the texture.
I am actually having a big mess in my plugin folder who looks to do strange things. For example, the snow in the mountains are suddently gone. I dont know why, as i havent delted anything, neither have i downloaded anything the last month. I think i will just delete my plugin folder and start downloading from scratch.
Thanks for your comment.

kbieniu7 : Thanks for your comments. You might be right about the slope. As mentioned, this junction is something i wasnt completely happy about. And if i should do something over, it might be that.

rooker1 : I appreciate your constructive feedback. I agree with your idea about the highway. When i made the highway, the rail was not included in the plan at all. It came later when i made a rail line from Victoria and north. Since it was set close to Mossa, i decided include it. I'm not shure if i would try remake it as i am already working with a completely new region. But who knows? Maybe one day...

canyonjumper : Thanks for all your reply's. How is the weather in BC? Do you think it will be an olympic with snow?

Sciurus : No, i dont spend much time playing SC anymore, but i wish . I was unemployed for almost a year back in 2007, and much of this is from that time. Thanks for all your comment.

nedalezz, Battlecat, penguin007, sumwonyuno, RickD, Rady, marsh, Tomas Neto, SeanSC4, bat : Thank you all, i appreciate your comment and are happy this could be of any interest.


Part 3 : Bonita
Bonita is a city on the west coast. It is the second largest city in Farawaystan with about 385 000 citicens. This city had no plans from the start and is more to be considered an accident. My intention was to build a small town. But it just happen to grow more and more as i came up with more things to add.

Today i would like to start easy and just show you a few pictures of the city center.

3.01


3.02

This is maybe not the best picture to start with, as i am not at all happy with the harbour. Something is missing, theres no life and is so empty. Maybe one day i will make some chances? What do you think?

Not many pictures today, but it should give you an idea of what to expect for tomorrow.
