   5/5,

   Wonderful addition to the website. It is really a beauty, you really have mastered the game :)
   
   There are some small weaknesses, though, at least in my eyes. For example, I generally miss some curves within the road layout of your city. Also, some of your bridges are quite steep, whilst others run really smoothly. The runways of the airport are too close to the terminals, at least to the wings of the terminals. And generally, I had hoped for some more embellishment alongside the river shores. For example, you have that bikeway along the river, but at that side of the river, there is no possibility to move down to the water. But all of these points are minor points, they are not important.
   
   I do love your standalone structures. The palace with its octagonal artificial lake in the park looks fabulous. The Louvre-like building complex was majestically laid down. Its garden looks wonderful, a real little escape from all the noise. The skyscrapers were wisely chosen and together form a fantastic skyline, I still wonder at what location you would have the best view onto the skyline.
   I also like the industrial area along the harbour. You added a lot of details there, that looks realistic!
   And of course, the airport itself was well planned and laid down. The taxiways look overly realistic, splendid job!
   
   My favourite district is probably Estergate. I love the little details you added, and the custom-made structures. Also, you created a fabulous scenery along the waters there :)
   
   And of course, your image are the bomb, I think that's nothing new to you ;)

      Thank you for the review and praising words. This city has been occupying my mind for years and I could only design and build for a limited period of time each week. From the first day, I wanted a consistent grid system and changed it almost 20 times over time for the best look. Masterplans were made to work smoothly with the metro system. Barcelona's Eixample and Budapest's Pest districts were my basic inspirations as well as the Manhattan grid system. I don't like the way this game's roads look when you make curves. They seem rather sharp on the edges and I tried my best to make them smooth. I also don't like using limitless construction mod much because it looks really awful in close-ups. A lot of measuring have been made and precision was very important for me. I am planning to make a Cities Skylines version in the future, maybe I can use more curves with CS' mechanics.
      
      Your observations are really good and I agree with you. This project took so much time and I had to rush at some points. Freeway bridges are quite steep and look bad but I couldn't find a solution for them as I am not good at with realistic highway mod. The airport is based on Beijing Airport. It is runway-terminal building distance is about 300m while mine is 110m. I know it is too close but I couldn't change it without changing the freeway layout. "Wonderpark" is another rushed point in the city and I am not wholly contented the way it looks at the moment. It was planned to be a coastal version of Amsterdam's Vondelpark but at some point, I lost my interest and finished it roughly.
      
      I'm really glad you like the journal, thanks again and have a nice weekend!

      Thank you for the review. If you mean mods by "models" I added all the mods I used at the end of the Video Guide. And on Instagram (@maripoliscxxl) I also post my inspired locations from all over the world for each region.

      Thank you so much for the encouraging comments. Your cities Novigrad, Dämmerlicht and Hope are all great inspirations for me. And I think I overlooked the CJ of Sentaria back in the day. Now I've realized that it is a beautiful work and gave me a new perspective for my CJ.

      Thank you ;) Maps came out after a detailed research and drawing process. And I must say without your mods this city would be incomplete. Thank you again.

   Magistrale video, I am stunned by so much beauty, the design of the city, cities, details, the considerable number of shots, transport plans, the assembly of the video itself!
   
   I summarize my feeling in two words:
   - Perfection,

   A very very very big congratulations!
   
   Wow! But what a city! What a slap!
