Community Atlas - A huge metropolis somewhere
I hanker to create a huge city like I did with Dun Fingolfin.
I also wanted to stress Watabou to the max. So here is a city with 28,000+ buildings.
I intend to detail each building, using mainly CD3A, Medieval Buildings and SS5. Obviously, various areas will be demolished to make way for Stadiums, etc, and grand hotels, big mansions, university, museums, theatres, bathhouses and red light district etc.
But this is the start. I don't expect progress to be ultra fast - Dun Fingolfin took over a year.
Also, I detail two small areas I am concentrating on this week.
-
Community Atlas City of Tartateos - Shipyards District
-
Community Atlas - Stromphe City - Captains Dock District

Watabou City REVISED (annual 157)
This took less than 10 minutes to go from starting to insert the DXF to this. I have solved the problem of the road and river - it lies in the original setup of the map to export as SVG - make sure river and roads are NOT outlined. Even if they seem to disappear, they will be present on your svg, therefore DXF.
Once I am completely satisfied with the whole process, i will upload the whole process along with a new Template and DrawTools for both metric and (ugh) imperial. And the fills I use for the fields.
I will be renaming the CITY BLOCK sheet to SYMBOLS BUILDINGS.

Watabou City REVISED (annual 157)
I decided to really test the system and do a large city using the method above. This took just over 60 minutes, but not so bad really for this size city. FCW included if anyone wants to use it. I haven't added anything extra to what the actual city generated, ie no trees, hills, forests, swamps, invading troops, cluster bombs etc - the sort of normal stuff any city has these days.
Larger version in gallery.
I didn't bother to use Shaded polygon by Edge on the fields - i would do so if I was going to develop this city further. Does anyone want me to - perhaps an Atlas add?
