OOC: Today it occured to me we only had very little detail on Cities, so I took the liberty in using C&C Generals inbuilt map editor and used it to make small scale Cities, the result of 2 hours of work was these two shots of Downtown Kugaaruk in Eleytheria.

This is a tiny section of Downtown Kugaaruk City.

Heres the front of the very important structure in RP'ing, you might already know it by name from the Eleytherian Civil War, it's called the Republic Headquarters, alot like the USA's White House or the Russian's Kremlin.

I am willing to make a model City for anyone but because it takes so long to do such a small section, I can never make a full scale City, so be specific about what you want your City to look like, its environment, time of day, etc.

And please be patient, it can take hours if not days to complete one model depending on how elaborate you want it to be.

So what do you guys think of this?

Oh WOW....

That is NIIIICE dude.

...Me, I just posted pictures of real buildings. You should check 'The Empire of Kasnyia' thread. Every building of importance, from the Haddenfledt Palace to the Viceroy's Residence in Pacifica. And everything in between.

The problem with real buildings is they may not necessarily be to your liking, with this you can shape just about any Cities structures into any design almost, and actually see the culture of the country up close and personal, its roads, its surrounding structures to important ones, in any environment you like, snow, jungle, you name it, so that's why I did this.

Agreed. Hence why it took me three hours to find what I liked, since what is in my mind is based on real structures. Especially the Haddenfeldt Palace. :P

This what you did is noce though.....

Thats fine by me, name the City and describe it the best you can along with its environment, is the terrain the City on flat, is there mountains or cliffs in the background? After you tell me these things I'll see what I can do, though the thing does have its limits, I can bend the rules a little bit, and create illusions to make it more believable, alot like a Computer Animator does.

Oh man, this is gonna be soooo freaking sweeeet!!!! *is giddy with excitement*

Ummm, could you do Caldenya? You should read about it in the Geography section of my wiki, but basically the city should be on the coast, with coral reefs, glittering white beaches, huge fancy hotels, resorts, spas, neon signed casinos, basically a luxurious beach paradise. Can your editor do something like this?

Specifically, I guess, if you need a name, it's West Caldenya.

Maybe not as elaborate as that, but maybe something pretty close, the water is kinda corny looking in the editor but coral reefs, and large boulders sticking outta the ocean is pie.

Everything is done with an easy to use interface, click, drag, drop, manipulate, brush, paint etc.

I can do bombed out cities too if you ever want to do a "News Broadcast" on NS Forums about a devastated region, condeming a nation for its actions etc. the military vehicles and any person in general in the editor look like shizz so I will rarely use them.

I'll see what I can do for you 2morrow, but I can assure you this could take maybe a day or two to complete, so if you can wait until then, I think I can make some pretty killer images for ya to use.

Alrighty Esternarx, here's what I got so far, I could make an entirely different model if you want but because the description on what you wanted was rather vague, It may not be exactly what you were looking for.

If you like these, just send me a PM and I can bring you to a direct link of them, from there you can save them, or do whatever your anarchic little heart desires with them.

And for the love of Hershey bars, keep restraints on Claire after she sees these, or she'll turn every Woman in West Caldenya lesbian ...

Nouvelle-Paris huh, I need to know some basic information please, what's its climate, if its cold do you want Alpine heaven or winter wonderland, do you want your City to look like its between two cliffs or on a cliff, look like a fortress, or medieval Castle?

Roads are very important too, tell me what kind of roads (Cobble, Paved, 2 lane, 4 lane, etc.)

And how urbanized is this City going to be, as you can see from my Kugaaruk pics, the City is mostly comprised of small towers and large houses, and that's in downtown, so its small and more sprawled out rather than crunched into one big tin can.

Time of day is good to know too, night wont provide as good detail on the buildings, and day doesn't provide any light effects.

These things are mandatory people! I'm not Leonardo Da Vinci! I can't read minds and I can't "Picture" what the other guy is picturing, so you need to be sorta specific.

Sim City wouldn't be too bad for the thing, but that's alot more work, trying to build the City up, manage your money and all that at once, with this its simply click, click, click *goes on and on for about 2 hours*, DONE! ;)
