Here is my city of Solomon. It is a fictional city that I have been working on for awhile. It is a small island in the middle of the ocean. The island's name is King Solomon Island named after the first king of Solomon. The city of Solomon occupies most of the island, but also a few other independent cities are on the Island too. Also in the region there are a lot of small islands that also house residents.

I will keep posting updates and more city photos soon:D

[WESTSEATTLEGUY]

Here are some more pictures of the island i promised.

A area just south of Solomon is going through a major change, a major office boom has prompted more office buildings to rise from the core of the district.

The next update i will post is of a small island packed with residents off the coast of the island.:)

[WESTSEATTLEGUY]

Here is a Island right off the coast of Solomon. It houses 60,00 people for a very small parcel of land and is a major vacation destination spot.

Well that's all for that city. I think I might have 2 more updates and then that is the end of the region:( . But I hoped you liked it so far:)

[ctown.myth]

One question: how did you get the airports to look like that?

Overall great region!

[WESTSEATTLEGUY]

^^THANKS!!

You can find airport packs on STEX http://www.simtropolis.com/stex/index.cfm?page=1 just search airports, i believe i used RH Airport Pack by Joerg, hoped that helped.:)

[WESTSEATTLEGUY]

o ya i forgot....
-Do you think I should apply to be in The USCN? And do you think I may have a chance to get in?




(sorry for the double post)

[ctown.myth]

What's the USCN? If it's a SimCity group, you should! That's the best region I've seen!

BTW: How long did it take you to build the region?

[WESTSEATTLEGUY]

^^ This has been a work in progress since january, but i haven't played this region in awhile, but i'm working on a new one:)

-the USCN is a group of SC4 RH players that have a group of their own, in which they make their regions in to countries and combine them. It's pretty cool. Here is the link http://www.skyscrapercity.com/forumdisplay.php?f=816 It is on SSC.

i think i am gonna join.

[ctown.myth]

Wow, that's hardcore...you should ask to join.

[treras93]

[WESTSEATTLEGUY]

wat version of sim city 4 do u have cause i never seen most of those buildings


^^ i have SC 4 RH, but most of my buildings are downloaded off STEX-http://www.simtropolis.com/stex/index.cfm?page=1 You can probably download most new buildings there. Hoped that helped.
