Exciting. You also draw ramps.

But not buildings, only zones where they are, or?

Streets named after Greek letters? Wtf?

Yes, only zones. This city was confusing... the 72 kinda stops and you have to go through the city to get to the other 72. lol It's one of those tourist towns you hate because you have to go on city streets to get to the interstate again.

Wtf your face. jk, yes they are Greek letters, and minerals. Southern California does letters vs minerals in some areas. San Diego has letters, and sometimes minerals. I know a place where it's not letters, but there are minerals.

Thanks to Dropbox, everyone can now zoom in on Blaland and see all my mistakes.

It now works in Zoom.it:

I like the Sim City series too. However, I'm not a huge fan of SC4. It doesn't allow me all the cheat codes for free construction and unlimited money like SC3k Unlimited does.

What I liked about SC3k was the building editor. Very easy to make stuff.

One of my dreams is to be very good at drawing....not cities but anything.

I've always wanted to make my own Graphic Novel.

Sim City 4 !!

Whaaaa ??

I have got SimCity 3000 on my old PC - WITH the Building Architect add-on.

You cain't get SimCity 3000 no more

Aand the Building Architect was an add-on, which you cannot Download no more

You can only Run SimCity3000 on Windows '98 or '95 - so that is why it is on my Old P.C., running in Windows '98.
I also have all of the Cheat Codes for that as well.
Lets you build Everything for Free, all types of Powerplants, all types of Waste Disposal, all types of Water Plants.
A Free $100,000 from a "money laundering" - and all kinds of extra goodies.

I have played it A LOT - and saved Lots of Cities from it.

Why are all your posts the same format?

Bla · « **Reply #45 on:** July 10, 2011, 10:24:47 AM »

Just a reminder, we have a topic about Sim City, so I recommend posting there if your posts are only about the game, and not related to drawing cities in any way.

A city I drew yesterday and the day before it.
I'm considering thinking of planning to consider expanding it to multiple papers...

It features much more public transport than my normal cities, with many monorail stations, and road designs to make cars just about useless - there are no road bridges to the outside world. I tried using that design for a city in SimCity 4 too, and it actually solved the traffic problems extremely well.
I started on the small island east of the coast, then expanded on to the inner island. There is a mesa/cliff in the central/western part of the city seperating parts of it from each other, with some staircases along the cliff.

Anyone else who want to post their city drawings?

I feel a bit like re-drawing Blaland because all the water looks so strange, then I don't know if I should do it by hand or com, I think hand would be fastest, but then all the scanning is messy, I have to redo the borders on com anyway, and gaahhh...
I like the idea of drawing it in a way that fits into the Blaist Blaland official map.

Project draw Kolkax has begun

Center sheet

Bla · « **Reply #50 on:** May 22, 2015, 04:05:08 AM »

Some notes (mostly for myself):
I estimate 1 pixel around Kolkax on the USF map as roughly 5-10 km long and pick 8 km by 8 km as rough convention.
From satellite photos of cities I estimate my drawings show roughly 1.2 km by 2 km on each paper sheet. I take a guess between the two taking into account the A4 dimensions and decide the long axis is 1.8 km on each A4 paper as a rough convention.
I guess I'll have to make a lot of drawings before worrying significantly about deviating from the map.

Anyway here's some progress on the drawing with contrast enhanced

Finished drawing the city. I don't think I'll draw outside the canals, maybe farms, but probably not. Paper is hard to align and curves too easily so I'd rather draw cities on a harder material in the future.

those railroads look really cool they look like the cables in computers

Bla · « **Reply #58 on:** November 14, 2015, 03:51:03 PM »

Thanks kol

In Denmark most railroads are made of computer cables. Maybe that's why

Progress on the city, 2 central pieces are now completely complete.

I had bought 2 packs of 10 paper pieces, but sadly I found that all the paper in the second pack is too short on one of the axes for the A4 format. Fortunately it wasn't the pack I began drawing on. It'd make it absolutely impossible to align a bigger number of papers. I haven't investigated it in detail so I really hope it's just that one pack that's bad and not the other pack that's also a bit too short or something... Anyway pics

Notably easier to align after scanning onto comp than Kolkax (increased contrast on upper image)
