Ennedi plays Shosaloza

Wow. 

The sixth, seventh and eighth pics look almost three-dimensional, with the background of blue-sky color. The only thing that gives it away are the buildings. Awesome work.

A lot of great pictures there, Ennedi! Wonderful work on that mountain!

[TheTeaCat]

Fantastic update Adam. The shots of the top of the mountain are magnificent

They evoke a feeling of serenity as you gaze down over the Valley. Well done my friend.

Whew! Massive, massive update, Ennedi! You continue to amaze me with your mountain building, and I love that cable car! As always, excellent work! Keep it up, my friend!

[iamgoingtoeatyou]

edit: i took a few minutes to look back at the updates, and all i have to say is...WOW! your rural areas are stunning and the details just mindblow me, amazing job you've done!

[Jmouse]

Amazing update, Ennedi. Even though I don't understand the tech part yet , I'm anxious to learn and to see how the region continues to develop.

Until next time...
Joan

*Edit* Congratulations on the new promotion. Well deserved!

[thundercrack83]

Ennedi,

I have just been blown away by your photos, tutorials, and images in general. Awesome work!

I can provide some insight into terrain mod altering through PM if you like... like if you have any questions, drop me a line sometime. I may be able to help solve some questions you might have... this is my specialty.

This is like my new favourite MD, because it is very unique. Take care!

[Ennedi]

@beskhu3epnm,

Thank you very much, I'm honoured by your proposition and you can be sure I will ask for your advice in near future
I started this MD at 25th August. Before this day I made some work with terraforming and plopping forests, but I didn't prepare any city. My general idea of developing this region is as follows:
1. Preparing the region according to the general vision of it (almost done)

2. Making some development: at first I want to build some cities - small and medium-sized, but different one from another, to make a few "districts", each with a specific climate. In the next stage I want to connect these cities by transit networks (to enable the regional development and observe the traffic) and start to build large cities in crucial points. I have done about 20% of this work.

3. In the same time I want to observe an interaction of the terrain (and the sea, flora etc.) with cities (both urban and rural areas) and transit networks. Of course I could make an empty region and play with the terrain and flora mods for a long time, and then start to build anything. Maybe it would be more "realistic". But in SC4 we don't create a world - we create an SC4 region I am sure that to create a realistic looking region (the "SC4 realism" is a theme for fascinating discussion at another occasion) it is necessary to work with the terrain and cities in the same time.
Now I'm making point 2 and it is a good moment to start point 3. I have the terrain prepared and some existing cities. So I would like to start changing parameters of terrain mods and look at results. I also would like to play with tree controllers and rock mods. I have some ideas 

I must emphasize I'm a simple player, I haven't any knowledge about the structure of these all mods. I must learn a lot, so I will ask for help
But I think it can be interesting for you and other modders too, because you are concentrated on your specialization and I think you simply have no time to make fully developed regions. And the simple player as me can show some effects of your work on an alive organism

4. After a few months (learning terrain/tree mods needs a lot of work, you know it better ) I would like to start the second fascinating thing: lot editing. I'm very glad of meeting with Badsim and he also is very friendly and helpful. So I would like to make all cities first, and then return to them and look what is bad and what could be improved.

I think it's enough work as for one region

And what is the core idea of this work?
Looking at this all amazing creations presented on this site (and also on other SC4 sites) I have a following feeling:
- There are many excellent maps and mods/tools connected with the terrain, but only a small part of them is widely utilized;
- Also, there are a lot of beautiful BATs, but they are not often utilized.
I think there are some particular reasons of this state and I would like to find them out, and maybe - to change this situation a bit

Sorry for the long and complicated comment, I will definitely ask you for help, but I must prepare my questions, looking at these 70 parameters of CPT No 6 I'm a bit confused now

Congrats for the OSITM, Ennedi!

[TheTeaCat]

Adam congrats on the promotion 

I wonder what little gems and surprises you will show us this month I have used some of your techniques to sort out some parts of my region and they worked a charm . If I had done it my way it would have been 

I look forward to seeing your experiments and more of your cities too my friend

regards
Derry

[Ennedi]

Thank you very much, my friends - it's a honour and great pleasure for me 

So I must think about a pleasure for you too, I had to prepare something special 

I have a cold from a few days, so I wasn't be able to make an update - sorry 
But today I spent most time at the computer, my wife says I'm stupid (I have still about 38^oC), but I must prepare something for you and I hope I will be ready tomorrow 

Thank you again!  (especially David for the promotion  )

[Danthe]

[amapper]

First of all, thank you for the congrats to Lexington County's honor: Of Special Interest This Month.

I am in love with you dam!! You did a wonderful job with the whole thing, especially the overflow channel. I tried to do that with my dams and could not figure out how to accomplish it. I will be re-reading that portion to learn from your experience. Good Job!
