(Archive) Advertising District / Realm of the Gods

yeah, my newest park, 100x100. Themed around the egyptian gods, Geb (God of the earth), Orsiris (God of the dead), Thoth (God of the moon), Set (God of chaos) and Re (the sun god). Here is a pic of the entrance area -Geb's Realm-

The trees seem to dominate the path too much, and the flowers are a bit too bright for the earthy tones you have in the architecture.

Try using more bushes and ornamental trees, and tone the flower color down a bit.

But that's just me.

Aye, the flowers make the atmosphere so much more brighter. Without em' it just looks dumb... So, noone else comments on the flowers. And this is the earth gods realm. I'll try and use more bushes though, and tone down on the foliage.

This looks good, but i think there's too many trees, just take a few here and there out and it will look better. The flowers are a nice touch. The colors are nice. I think there should be some bushes. I like the flame torches they are a very nice touch. Good job, so far!

i dont like all the trees clashing together, but otherwise looks great. really nice colors also

I think you overdone it a bit with he trees but your buildings look good.

In my opinion, there are far too many flowers.

Keep the flowers as an accent, as a flower border to the paths, not interspersed throughout. Also, take each and every flower off the buildings. See if that makes it any better.

Architecture is good so far, structure wise, and the tree selection isn't bad, but i feel you could do with another type of tree in there, a fat one, just to pad out the foliage.

Too many flowers. I would suggest that you lose them from the balconies and roofs and put sometihng else their. Also maybe tone down the flowers.

Keep the foilage, it looks good with the building. IMO...


I think it's purdy.

I took off the flowers for the buildings and balconies, it does look much better... I'll post one or two more screens tomorrow. So wait!

Too many trees, and I'd reccomend getting rid of the bushes on the building. I pretty much just repeated what everyone else said, and it seems like those one-tile rooves are used a bit too much in my opinion on this screen, as well.

Yeah i aggre with you useing too many trees but i think your buildings are nice.

So keep going.

There are 3 reasons why the trees need to go.

1. When you build a beautiful building it's foolish to hide it behind trees. People (well except maybe mantis) don't delete trees to look at buildings. They scroll past and look at what is visible. Why do all that work for nothing?

2. The building has spanish tile roofing which makes me think of the southwestern United States which is desert. I suppose it's just my own personal bias, but I see that roofing and I think of hot arid locations. You seem to be thinking that too with the palm trees. You've got way too many trees for an arid location.

3. Those tall skinny trees are particularly ugly no matter how they're used. I hardly ever use them because they never look good in my opinion. Even without those other two reasons, I'd tell you to lose the trees just because I hate that particular tree type.

So that's it. If you like the trees, than go ahead and leave them in but those are my 3 reasons why I think they should go. Other than the trees, it looks pretty good. Colorful and detailed. I keep seeing RCT2 screens of buildings though and wondering what happened to all the rides. Don't people build coasters anymore? A year ago I thought it would be daring to build a park that didn't have any coasters in it but now it looks like everyone is doing that already. I've never made this complaint before, but that's just the kind of year it's been. Enough with the fancy buildings and the custom scenery. I want to see some coasters damn it!

Update: Construction on the parks first coaster has begun, I will show some screens of that later. Anywyas, I have a few new screens Here Not the greatest work i've ever done, but it works...

All I'm getting is red crosses for some reason...

Hmmmm... Something must be wrong with webshots, I'm getting that too now, weird

It is strange that Angel, Six Frags and I have also started a park themed to ancient Gods and Goddesses.

I wish I could see your screenshots, but as with deanosrs, I can't view them.
