The Republic of Terra Specula - Update 18: Teaser!

[Rady]

Nice MD 

Being a military guy i would like to know where you got the Stryker models.

I think I got them from the SC4Devotion CD that I bought last year .. I just installed anything from SNM.

I'm a military guy too ... in addition to my civil job ... which branch are you in?

[Cidwm]

Active duty Army.

@ ecoba: Thank you!

@ Cyclone1001: Thank you! So far the military's role in the developement wasn't important, but whon knows what dangers might lay ahead. So it's always good to be on the safe side, isn't int?


@ RickD: Thank you - we already exchange some thoughts!

@ Nardo69: I'll keep your wish in mind ... just watch my MD, and we'll see what will develope in that matter .. 

@ Tomas Neto: Thank you!

@ citycapitalizer: Thanks for stopping over - I hope you will enjoy my furhter updates!

@ Cidwm: Thank you!



So, finally the administration started moving out to new areas. In order to orientate, let's have a look at the whole map:



The starting point is the new intersection of the I65 that so far connects Bonham and Ashville but is prepared to be expanded as the region will develop.



The I65 strechtes through wide areas of untouched wilderness. Along it's path some service stations developed, mostly accompanied by a small (and unauthorized!) settlement. However, the administrations arm is weak in this lonesome areas ...



After rideing the I65 for some boring hours, we arrive at Welldeer Coast. As we can see, the city has quite developed so far.



Let's just share some impressions:

Eliahs bay is a favorite hot spot for residentials of any age.


When arriving from the Central Eastern Railway, one steps out onto Time Plaza:


Sad, but true - crime started to rise in that distant corner of the colony, so a federal prison was inevitabely. On the other hand the residents love this area for it's clean streets ...


As a OSITM bonus pleas enjoy a small (sorry: small wasn't meant to describe the file size, but only the part of the city covered within! The mosaic has some 3 GB. Thanks RickD for mentioning that!) mosaic (click thumbnail for full resoultion version) (and sorry if anyone encountered problems while loading that pic!)


(Sorry, it seems I never can get those thumbnails to work  )

[Cyclone1001]

Ooh, pretty

[RickD]

Uh-Oh, unauthorized settlements!  It is interesting how you let the freeway end in Welldeer Coast by transforming it to an avenue.
The mosaic is well done. I wouldn't call it "small", though. I am visiting my parents at the moment and they only have a 384 kbit connection. It took a while to load on that. Anyway, I'll have to learn how to make mosaics some time.

[Cidwm]

I like the interchange and service station next I65, looks like a nice place for a stop along the highway.

@RickD

You think your parents internet is slow try internet in afghanistan. Internet is slow here almost dail-up speed. 

[Tomas Neto]

Very nice update again my friend!!! 

[Rady]

Ok, so after some lengthy absence from my MD (but fortunately not from SC4 at all), I try to return to my MD. Hopefully I will be able to update it on a more or less regular basis ....

For those who stop over for the first time, it might be a good idea to have a brief look on thefirst post of my MD as to understand what's going on.

Having said that, let's start over again!



Having left behind his colony for quiet a long time, the return of the beloved governor made the headlines of the newspapers around.



A lot of changes had taken place in the one year of his absence, so the first thing Gov. Durham ordered was an overview map of the colony's territory.



The colony seemed to drift apart, and many things needed to be done. However, since he left a late-night space jump, Gov. Durham went to his house to relax first. So all we are left at the moment with are a few pictures (taken by an UAV some days ago) of the easternmost metropolis - Welldeer Coast.

[Tomas Neto]

First of all, sorry for beeing lazy on my updates. I played along quite some time, but couldn't find the time to prepare the update. After all, having a 13-month-old daughter is far more time-consuming then one would expect ... so hopefully you will like my little teaser, and I promise to work hard to provide an update every month!

@ Tomas: Glad you didn't loose interest in my MD after one year's absence of mine ..! I still admire your work in Vale Paulista!

@ bat: Thank you! Glad you like it!

@ Terring: Thanks for stopping over! I'm also following your BAT thread, since I started out to BAT a little on my own ...

@ Supremec: Wow! One of the master BATers stoppping over ...!

@ noah clem: Thank you -  I hope you will like the little teaser ..!

@ Rick D: Welcome back also to my MD!

@ Skimbo: A new one on my MD -  that's nice!

@ ricardomiranda: Thank you!

@ dedgren: Thank's for reading the whole MD .. I hope I will be able to keep up with it without too many lags ...

[apeguy]

How have I missed this MD in the past? A very interesting story and excellent city development. it's good to see MDs that aren't always Earth-based. I look forward to seeing more.

[Tomas Neto]

Wow..., fantastic rural area, and very nice small town!!!
