City 9 - Map in progress

[Roby]

Updating with some screenshots, this time I decided to erase the catwalk in favour for a train track similar to the one in Industrial 17, because the catwalk was poor at hiding citizen movement from the plaza, especially from the CP, which meant every time you wanted to try and sneak on the catwalks, you'd almost surely be seen and it just wasn't good at all, I'm in the process of building a train track that will at least offer some cover for the citizens while moving, while preserving the verticality of the map.

Oh, I also decided to scrap the central half of the canal and replace it with a small park/garden.

Bonus screenshot:

@Atle The shadows in c24 are not correct.

@Atle The shadows in c24 are not correct.

I don't really understand how they can not be correct because it is up to the map developer on how he/she wants the map to be and look like.

they're not matching with the objects they need to match with, which is an issue atle addressed he'll be working on fixing

too many decals

too many decals

don't think it really matters as long as he doesn't use the same ones twice within the immediate vicinity and he mixes it up a bit.

Once city 24 dies out...........................

Apologies for the delay in updates, but my map has undergone another drastic layout change because the last layout was a disaster in terms of optimization attempts. Today I'm showing you the new plaza:
