A small shot at something big...

Here's something to think about.

Your scen is finally ready... Am i right or not?

PLZ tell me "Yes, it's ready !!!"...

Looks great Stefan

How did you create the suburbs, airbases/railroads? I don´t believe it is this irrigation...

*gets all excited over the prospects of another Arab scenario*

Lookin great, Stefan.

BeBro, from what I can tell by the tile variations it looks like he replaces hills or forests with the suburbs. Though it would be more sensible to replace the forests.

By the looks of those mountains, I'd say he's not sensible.

Look at the way the road connects with the suburbs - I *think* that he's using railroads as the suburbs

it looks to me like there is 2 (or perhaps more) diffirent types of suburbs, so it could be that one is irrigation, and one is railroad or farmland

BeBro · October 15, 2001, 04:47

Hm, if that would be hills, roads would appear on them...

Whatever it is, it looks pretty darn cool

Right now it's the railroads, I might reconsider that though. My recent argument for using them however is that, no matter how good the roads are in the countryside, movement would still be best in a city.
The city style used for the city itself may be a bit irritating, it's actually an eastern Iranian one, but I had only this one finished. The suburb graphics are based upon a couple of pics of Kerbela, Baghdad... and my own imagination

What I did was simply looking at the terrain file of "Red Front" and just did the very same. There is also a graphic for a single railroad terrain, which I'll post once I get the proper screenshot enviroment.

You mean Ifriqyia (...Sardinia

)? It's not dead, that's for sure. It's not the same scen though.

It's not quite that, but you've brought me to a brilliant idea!

I don't like the whole suburbs idea...
Heavy traffic in cities is not just a recent phenomenon; it has happened throughout history. The Romans outlawed wheeled traffic within the city, and up to the present day, average speed on country roads is still faster than inner-city travel. I'd make suburbs a terrain that gives lots of trade and/or production.

I will think about that... thanks

Use Airbases, then... they increase commerce to +1.
