    I finally started something after a trip to Alsace :p
    This is an European town called Tsimarza :

    Wow, @Clemech4, that little town looks amazing to me (y)
    But if I was the mayor of that town, I would have banned modern highrises out of the city walls :p
    Your castle is fantastic as well! But maybe make it a bit bigger? Also, the big inner castle trees disturb me a bit. If you delete them, you will be able to get awesome frog-perspective screenshots from the pedpaths onto the main castle buildings that sit atop of DrazicDesign's rocks ;)
    But nonetheless, your cities never cease to amaze me :)

    Thank you!
    Some rich businessmen bought field into the town to build very expensive hotels and housing ^^
    For the castle, the slope was too high for a plaza without trees, i'll try to fix that. I visited some castles in Alsace (that's why i built a castle xD ) and they weren't that big, i think the size is good ;)

    @Clemech4
    I am glad to see you join the contest, and see that you concocted a city of which you have the secret.
    I am looking forward to seeing the progress of work in your city

    @kipate
    I love to discover the dome of the cathedral st paul through this entrance porch

    @XOUSTE
    Do not get discouraged, I'm sure you can do miracles


    For my part, here is the skyline of the city at sunset taken from the double deck

    @Drazicdesign, what a wonderful silhouette you have created (y)

    Who participates in the contest, did you notice that the plaza changes its color when it is built on the shore (gets darker)? In the picture below, the plaza near the crane is almost black and should be gray. And on her right, she changes her color, from gray to black. Is it normal, or is there a bug? Thanks cxl_screenshot_nok_28.jpg

    No it's always like that when shore is steep, some plazas become darker, some others keep the same colour with black spots...

    I confirm the words of Clemech4

    And yes, it is true that it is not very beautiful,
    I also have the same problem

    :cautious: with photos from win 10. Select edit, change a bit "enhance your photo" then i go to adjust and changed light, color and clarity. And these are the most advanced photoshop knowledge I have.(y)
