^ You get to see it right now. This is certainly the largest update to date, so I hope you enjoy it! I only have two pictures for now, as it is 4:45 AM and I am tired, but alas, they are good pics. I already explained some of the new buildings a few posts back, so let's just get down to business:


An overhead shot of the new area.


The new skyline!

What do you guys think?

WOW! Those towers are positivly huge! That last picture makes those towers look like they are over 2,000 feet tall! How tall are they?

We should make a diagram of the tallest buildings here, combining Palm Dunes, City City, Steinpolis, and Staunton.

I'd love to see some emporis pages!

^ Surprisingly, the tallest big black one with the white corners is only 800'. The ESPN building is 630'. I think you can get an idea for the other tall buildings from there, the tall ones are in the 600-800' range. The highest point in Palm Dunes is at the tip of the spire of Two Pacific Plaza (the one behind PanPacific), at 910'.

910'? Huge, but I dont know what, but they look way bigger than that, I'm not sure what it is though. I can clearly see how much effort you put into those towers

Thanks guys! Patrick I think they look taller because all I've been showing so far are 200-400' towers, and then the big boom brought along towers 3 or 4 times taller, giving them a massive appearance, even though they aren't that big. And lts, I was going for the Chicago look with the river, I'm glad you noticed.

Holy Moly. I haven't checked this page in a little while. Count me in as blown away!

I'm really going to have to step it up a notch to try to stay in the same league as some of you.

^ I'll try to make some sometime this week, but I might not get to it until the weekend. Any particular buildings you'd like to see?
