Fantastic Update, Ioan &apls &apls
I really like the colour in your pictures - it makes them look even better :thumbsup:
Great work with those parisian BATs - you really know how to place them and where to put a nice monument in between &apls
Oh and that big avenue looks spectacular  &apls

Keep up the fantastic work,
Fabian

Hey Ioan,
Excellent update my friend, the feel of a real Parisian quarter is really here, well done. Nice mix between the different architectural styles. I'm liking a lot this wide avenue with the tram in its center, looks like the one in my capitol city. The park is well done too, however, I think there are maybe a bit too much big rocks, try to add some little white ones..  :thumbsup:
Anyway, that's a fantastic update ! I've never been a fan of Haussmanian cities, but yours is truly great, and for the first time (well tbh the third if we count Antigone and TW ) I can say that I love the representation of the parisian style  !

Take care,
-Arthur. :thumbsup:

Now that is what you can call a massive Parisian W2W environment!

Great Job with the church in the axis of the wide avenue coming from the circle! Love those sins in concrete in between as well as the highway that separates the town from the sports park and the R$ high rises!

Take care my friend!


Bernhard  :thumbsup:

This is a truly impressive w2w city. I very much like your mix of buildings both old and new. The church at the end of the boulevard and the round square are looking very nice.

Wow, 15 comments and 5 new-posters - strucka, ManuelR, ShultzCity, bat and oktoberfest! Welcome, guys!
Battlecat - Thanks! :thumbsup:
strucka - Thank you a lot! The population of this city is only about 200'000 - my aim isn't to make huge cities, and realistic (I hope I'm successful in this $%Grinno$%)
shanghai kid - Thanks very much!
Tomas Neto - Thanks, my friend!
sumwonyuno - Thank you!
ManuelR - Thanks! Unfortunately the highway texture mod I'm using isn't updated for the latest NAM, that's why some parts aren't properly textured &mmm
djvandrake - Thank you, my friend!
ShultzCity - Thanks! The Parisian-looking buildings are made by Porkissimo and Xannepan. The Easter-European ones are made by Ferrox. Sorry if I disappoint you, but I'll have a regional shot the update after today's one.
976 - Thank you, I hope I'll see longer comments from you next time ::) :D
bat - Thanks to you too! The 21st update comes in a bit ;)
Fabian93 - Danke shön! I also like that avenue, that's why you'll see it in the middle of one of the mosaics ;)
art128 - Thanks, Arthur! I'm glad you're changing your opinion about the Haussman cities :D
oktoberfest - Thank you, glad you like it!
Nardo69 - Thanks, Bernhard! However I don't really understand what you mean by "Love those sins..." &Thk/( Did you mean sims instead?
kwakelaar - Thank you a lot!


The update is coming in a bit... I'm having problems with uploading one of the pictures (probably it's too big :D)

Update 21

So, here are the two mosaics. The problem about was that one of them was too big to be uploaded... So I had to divide it into two parts ;) Now everything is okay, I hope (exept that you'll have to wait for the mosaics to load ;D)
By the way, I still haven't invited a name for this city, if you have any suggestions, share them here!





Hope you've enjoyed the mosaics :) Feedback is welcome as always ;)


Edit: the first mosaic isn't always showing... any ideas why is that? &sly
Here's a link to it if you can't see it: part 1 and part 2

The problem with the mosaic is fixed now, you can enjoy it in it's whole beauty $%Grinno$% :D

These mosaics are fantastic, Ioan !
I really love how we go from big skyscrapers to small W2W haussman buildings, that's a nice transition. I also like the rail line interchange, it's very well done my friend. That big wide avenue is also a nice touch to your city, I say it again.
take care,
-Arthur :thumbsup:.

Very nice city!  I really like the waterfront!  :thumbsup:

Heh, I always break up my mosaics into smaller pieces.

A very nice update, Ioan!  &apls

I really like the little apartment towers and the fact they are space out with green areas. Bixel's Y-shaped apartments look nice, as well. The only critique I have is that the train station at the end of the first mosaic should've had street access added to it for a drop-off area for passengers. I know, I demand too much  :satisfied:

Wonderful update!  :thumbsup:

So much to see with all the detail you've included.  The GLR looks great, as does the area dedicated to conventional rail.  Those smaller apartment buildings near the top are really neat.  You're waterfront looks great too!  &apls

ShultzCity

Wow!  :o

Those mosaics are spectacular! I love those little apartments at the top - that whole area reminds me of my favourite city in Australia, Melbourne. I love the Parisian buildings, the CBD and the waterfront. The trams and rail look great - the whole area is just perfect. Keep up the good work mate :)

I think this is a dense MD! ( has many comment).
Those city area look great!

Battlecat

That's a superb pair of mosaics there!  I really like how the city transitions from modern style through to older buildings and the back to newer structures across the canal! 

bat

Two really great looking mosaics there! Nice work on them!
Looking forward to more... :thumbsup:

Rady

Well those mosaics are some great stuff! I like they wy how you integrate all those parks and alleys!
If it's a good idea, go ahead and do it. It's much easier to apologize than it is to get permission.
