    I'm pretty sure you will be a good competitor, nicko!!!
    And all you need to do is to focus on one aspect
    of the list, then you have high chances to win!

    Is there going to be a new thread for everyone to post their pictures or do we start a thread each?

    i think last time anyone competing just posted started a new thread with title first -- eg. Bootleg City Comp - username? or something sim

    Edit: or start with your thread comp post with "Bootleg City Comp - CityName"

    edit that way icy/or someone can maybe grab the city titles for a final poll?

    I'm gonna join this one, too. Sounds like fun. But I don't got that much of time for city building so can't do it right now. :unsure:

    Here is a little sneak peek at the small town of White Salmon. This will be an American type city focusing on farming, tourism, and industry. The first photo shows the two freeway interchanges with exits into White Salmon along I-84. This is my first ever use of the RHM. The interstate follows the Bootleg River for many miles heading east upstream towards the small hamlet of Moiser. State Route 35 starts in White Salmon and heads north past a large manufacturing area and river port.

    Looking Northeast into the growing town of White Salmon

    Umm I may need to turn this into a City Journal at some point

    Looking good Icy. It'll be interesting to see how people use the map. I started with rhm then deleted it and now just have expressways. But I might start again and put a highway in. Traaffic is going to get bad.

    Nice start! I haven't laid one meter of asphalt yet, all pedestrian so far :)

    Icy, try either making curves bigger or their segments smaller. It will make the curves smoother.

    Ah thanks, I have tried that but it seems too "sensitive" to me

    It is sensitive if you use the mouse only. I use CTRL and the arrow keys to move it around.

    I started a city called Laer for this contest. I won't use RHM. I hope I will be persevering.
