Welcome to my first true UB/MD/CJ in a while. (2 years!!!) Anyways, let's get on with the details about this region.

Fairfield

Projected Population: 10,559
Current Population: 1,337 (lol, accidental 1337 sp33k)
Flag: Coming Soon
Motto: Coming Soon

Road Systems

National Routes are all of the expressways that make up the region, with all of them being freeways.
Area Routes are some of the expressways and some of the avenues that make up the region, being mostly used as a parallel to N-Routes to control traffic.
Distric Routes are routes that serve the district that they are in, and are generally no larger than a 2 lane aterial road.
Town Routes are small, minor routes that serve some of the smaller towns. They are usually left unsigned along a National or Area Route.

The Cartrail System is the system of rails serving the Fairfield area. Their future hub will be in Fairfield.

Anyways, on with the update.

Update I - Fairfield is a wonderful place.

This is the centre of the town of Fairfield, currently the largest city in the area.

Farms like these are common around Fairfield.

Commercial zones like these are somewhat uncommon around Fairfield.

To conclude the update, here's a pic of the town in its current state

That's all,
-Aco :mrgreen:

P.S. The road leads to the Town of Tifton, which will be revealed in the next update.

That's Update One. I'll be copying update two from CSGf tomorrow.

Nice rural areas! Looking good

I love your winding streets. Very realistic for a rural area

Welcome back guys! I've been having quite some fun preparing the first update of the second volume, and this will serve as a filler until then!

Samerton: Thanks! There's going to be even more of it in this coming update!
mayorm: Yeah, I personally think they're great too. I never actually plan. I just drag my streets in whatever shape that comes to me.

On a further note, I'd like to thank everybody for the comments. I really appreciate it. So without further ado...


Tifton is a town just north of Fairfield. It is one of the fastest growing towns in the region. Its population is estimated 3,000, half that of Fairfield's 6,000

1.1 - This is an overview of the town of Tifton. It is a seemingly everlasting boom town at the moment.

1.2 - Tifton is home to a Cartrail station, and is also the busiest passenger station in the area.

1.3 - A new subway system was installed between Tifton and Fairfield to ease traffic conditions on the road and on the rails.

1.4 - As depicted in the image, Tifton does not have as many large plantations, unlike Fairfield.

I hope you guys enjoyed this update! The first part of the unfinished 3rd update will come tomorrow! Following that will be the first update on the second volume.

may I ask where you got the railroad station from?

Also love the update, another good set of pictures. Although I'm not sure the town is ready for subway

But great work

Another update already... after this we'll be caught up and we can move onto Volume II

This was simply a video update I made showing how I built my cities. Please note, the sound is all glitched and stuff, and unless you're deaf, you may want to turn off the volume.

YOU'VE BEEN WARNED



Otherwise, now to update I of the second volume:

Here we will read an entry from well-known seafarer John Harper's logbook...

After a major hurricane, I regret to inform you, Sir Howard the First, that we had to abandon ship. The damages were much too terrible to fix. Even our chief repairman, Verdigris, could not fix the leaks that the large waves had caused. However, after a bit of exploring on the lifeboats, I am excited to inform you that we have found new land. Whether there are native people of this territory, we have established camp at coordinates X: 2099 Z: 730. We decided to give this place a name, so after some debates, we stuck with the name...

Oops! Looks like some of the page was torn out! Sorry! Well, I guess we can just skip right to the pictures!

0.1 Here we can see the dock that we built after we landed on the settlement. It is very basic, and will likely need replacing soon.

0.2 The town as it was about 12 months ago. As a matter in fact, we found native people of the area, and we have made some peaceful diplomacy with them.

0.3 And the town as it is now.


Oh, and for the record, my name is Vladimir Verdigris*. Just so you know, I'm not the writer of that logbook entry, nor is it current.

/endupdate

And now, mayorm, I got the station here.

And that's all folks! I'll see you next time!

*That's not my IRL name, fyi

Looks very nice, that previous update with all of those windy roads looks nicely done

I have to critisize though, I'm not sure what you're trying to accomplish by running the subway from two residential areas to each other.... unless it goes to a commercial area beyond that (I couldn't see it) nobody has any reason to ride it

That's kinda what I was thinking.. just upgrade the road


nice village though, I like the winding streets. Well done.

REPLIES

k50: Yeah, that part of the UB was generally what I'd call my testing grounds. I was being lazy and decided not to update the road. But since we started over on that last update, I'd say don't really worry about it.
cheese: Thanks, as I said with k50, I was being lazy . Decided to do an entire new system instead of upgrading some roads (I don't quite understand, though)

And now...

Update II

Click the spoiler to read the blablabla that Verdigris wrote before the events of this update. Otherwise just go on with the pictures.

Spoiler:

1.0 - It may seem obvious, but if it's not, the town has grown quite a bit since you have last seen it. Farms are beginning to be established. Population is beginning to expand. And most importantly, a telegraph line to A Hurrah Corbels(anagram)

1.1 - Verdigris had established a park here. It currently features a playground, some woods, and tennis courts.

1.2 - Here's a shot of the current state of the region. As you can see, there is nothing much but untree'd tiles and a nice little town and farms.

1.3 - Region Census shot of Harper's Landing
Anyways, I hope you guys enjoy-


wait.

There's something else that I'm going to talk about in this update.

I was thinking of making up a measurement system just for Fairfield. The nat system.

1 kanat = 1 tile
10 kanats = a yanat
100 yanats = hanat

tell me what you think! I'll be sure extending this system if you like, so leave a comment about your thoughts and suggestions!

-Aco

EDIT: Also a vid to go along with this:

Love the pictures and a nice video too!

I absolutely love your region!

Great update, and I love the video.

I liked this one Aco, I hope you still have it, and can continue it.

Love the shots of the region

Welcome to the 3rd Update of what's now known as Fairfield²! In this update, we explore the newly founded Grenfelt Harbor and check into the new Fairfield Nautical Transport Association.

It's been a few days since I've last wrote in here. The journal is already collecting quite a lot o' dust. The reason that I haven't written for a few days is because being mayor is a busy job, mate. I constantly have to write reports to King Charles. I hate writing reports to him.

So ha, there's your entry for today. Now onto the real update.

2.1 - This is the new town of Grenfelt Harbor. It is home to the colony's first university, Grenfelt Nautical University.

2.2 - Here we can see the university's first annual graduation day.

2.3 - Meanwhile, the first hub for the FNTA (see above) has been built in Fairfield.

2.4 - Soon after, Grenfelt Ferry was opened.

Unfortunetly, I have no region census screenshot for this update. Never fear, though, as I will post another screenshot soon!

EDIT: Woops, forgot replies!

111222333444: Thank you! It was handmade from scratch.
mayorm: Much appreciated! It took a little while to compress and render, but in the end, the result was very pleasing!
TC: INDEED I do still have it!
mayorm (again): Much appreciated again!

That's nice Aco, quite a big uni for such a small town heh.
Any plans to connect it with other cities in the region?
Or.. forgot about the seaport

Wow, really small town to have a university in
