Invernessen

Nice update emgmod.
I think the farms should extend to the river crossing, further south.

Where may I found the Name-A-Road program to sign up? It'll be very nice if there was a Lydosia Avenue

Oh, ok thanks guys, well this is it:

Lydosia Avenue?

U-Build-It - To the Mines
If you managed to read the hidden text in the last update, you should have known that coal mining might come to Invernessen. Of the two people that talked about coal mining, both said yes.

About 12 kilometers to the northwest of Invernessen, the brown scar of progress appeared.


Route 27 and the road to the mine intersect in this mining town. A train shuttle exists between here and Invernessen.


The mining road heads west, somewhat parallel to a stream.


The road is still near the stream. This stream is an experiment of placing PEG's Tahoe water under Jeronji's transparent water.


We pass a bridge along the way.


And the rest is a few curves.


And a few more.


And a couple more.


Until the edge of town. Just small industry and a generator.


The town's stores don't have too much activity, and only serve people living inside the town.


The rest of the streets are laid in a grid system, and contain the housing of the people working.


Finally, the mine.

Any suggestions on how to improve the mine?
Where to expand the farms?

aleksfacco: Luckily, I found CSGdesign's Cleared Earth.
Battlecat: The mine will get larger as time goes on.

I replaced the dirt with CSGdesign's Cleared Earth. Then I plopped SimGoober's coal mine in the middle.

Looks even better now, so realistic.

Great! I'll show ya guys a coal mine soon, but that one is very realistic! Good job!

Very nice! Always great to see realism in your CJ's

Thank you!

A nice visit from CSGdesign

I'd like to see this resort create a nice big man-made lagoon joining on to the river... and lots of little bungalows and stuff where couples can get away from it, or go visit the center for a spa or massage or whatever.

Which leads me to my first picture.


You may or may have not noticed the small new lake. That lake is part of the new Overton Pass* Resort.


Around the lagoon, there are 11 cabins that people can rent.


Closer to the actual river, there are 6 more cabins up for rent.


On the island formed by the lagoon, there is a small shopping complex, a marina, and the construction site for the Overton Pass* tower.


Finally, the planned Overton Pass* tower. When complete, it will be the tallest building in Invernessen, until you get to the city of Daloa.

What do you think of the resort?
Should I build the Overton Pass* tower?

*temporary name

I love the resort, great job.
I'm not sure the Overton Pass building should be that tall - but you could have a Viewing Deck on the top floor for people to look out over the forest, if you wanted it that tall.

yeah the resort is perfect like that!

A great idea! Personally I think the tower should be a maximum of 4 or 5 stories and is a swimming pool really needed with that refreshing lagoon?

Love the work so far though...

Wow, awesome resort. I really like it.
Not sure about where to put the golf course... But don't make it too big.

Great job!

Great!

Thank you everyone!

Sketch for the next update. I was at McDonald's, and I had a pen. So...

Looks like a solid plan

I thought that's what English class was for!

Paper napkins. The next best thing to use when you are out of normal paper.

Yep. Paper napkins are awesome.


Some of the residents of Invernessen aren't too happy about Cedar Shores. They are citing that the new resort has reduced business in the Invernessen town center, and that the new golf course is ruining the ecosystem.

During an oddly rainy week, protesters came from all over the town.


The main crowds appeared near the resort and in front of Town Hall.


On April 10, Cedar Shores hosted a meeting inside the small Cedar Shores Convention Center. However, the Cedar Shores representatives are tricky, and almost all of the citizen's concerns went unanswered.


Claiming that they addressed the concerns of the community, Cedar Shores got to work building the golf course, clubhouse, and secondary hotel building.


But people don't give up that quickly. Especially some of the more crazy ones.


They do crazy things, like sabotage cranes. This causes problems.


Problems like the police getting involved. It's a good thing nobody died during the sabotage.


Now Cedar Shores has a problem. This will probably make national news, even though nobody died. It is technically terrorism. But look at the bright side. The rain is clearing up!

How should Cedar Shores handle this situation?
How should the city of Invernessen handle this situation?
Invernessen needs to get a newer police fleet. Any suggestions on police car automata?

First of all, great update! Nice to read.
I think Cedar Shores should increase security and continue ignoring citizens - it's what big-business does. The City should call a public meeting and look very diplomatic and democratic about it, when they actually do very little.
It's what most governments do, right?
