Challenges 9/10/11

Posted by Toadwart on 31 October 2016 in English.

Hello,

For the September Challenge, I built an extensive tram system for my biggest city. As you can see it’s quite unfinished. I plan it to be at about twice the current size. I managed to write a script to create a multimap showing the routes. Unfortunately it works only fine for this network. The trouble is, that tram routes usually share tracks and I cannot show more than one colour per line. It’s ok here, as I gave the lines priorities: Red tangentials are always shown on top, coloured radials below that, and at the bottom are the lettered cross-city-lines, which are all dark gray. It works for the stops anyway. So it could work for an yother network, but the tracks would be in only one colour then.

For the October challenge: I got bored. I mapped some livestock anyway…

A few days ago, I thought: “The northern coast doesn’t look good. Something has to be done!” So, the November challenge came just in time.

There will be a coastal tram line like the one in Belgium. There will be three cities at the coast: Rhynlly, Shannondale, and the Port of Port Lewis. (Some renaming would also be nice.) These cities will have small tram networks connected by the coastal tram. Further away from the coast will be motorway 10. I also have lagoons and other fancy stuff in mind, but obviously they can’t all be at the same place. So, there will be a bit of planning first and then it will take some days until construction begins…

I really like the idea of a coastal tram that connects several cities. I think there is quite a number of real life examples, like around Alicante, Spain. I’m really interested in seeing the capital’s tram network evolve ^-^

I bet there will be flooding all over OGF.

Undoubtedly, there will be. So the odds for that bet won’t be much higher than 1.0, not much to win with that bet. A more interesting bet would be whose fault it will be.

Very nice work. Your main city is very nicely detailed, great job! Detail in cities is what I like to see.

Question: Is Misty River a neighborhood? It’s a great name, reminds me of “Whiskey River” the song. Also, what kind of buildings are in the outer suburban ring northeast of the city? (Near mallet hill road area)

I like this city a lot and I haven’t seen it before, keep up the good work and post often on User Diaries!
