Update 1: A bit of randomness


As my first update on Wamorra I'll be showing a bit of pictures from the neighborhood called Nellis, which used to be a small unremarkable village but got boggled up by Wamorra in recent years. It is officially part of Wamorra since 1998. There are also some random views of Wamorra in general.

Nellis on one side, heavy industry and low quality appartments on the other side of the river Wamor (not very original the people, I know).

A random street in the centre of Nellis. The only pub in this neighborhood.

Nightview taken by a climber. Wamorra is surrounded by hills and cliffs on all sides, except the seaside of course.

Same view at noon.

Update 2: Saint Sophia


One of the historical and touristical landmarks of Wamorra is the Saint Sophia Church, on Saint Sophia Peninsula. Today I'll take you on a stroll through the peninsula.

Showcase for the State of Wamorra Cxl_screenshot_wamorra_46
This is what you see when you leave metro station Saaint-Sophia. The church is quite walk away from us yet. Not to mention we'll be going uphill most of the time.

Showcase for the State of Wamorra Cxl_screenshot_wamorra_47
Now we've started our walk with a small climb. The village, part of Wamorra, is a mixture of medieval and 17-18th century houses.

Showcase for the State of Wamorra Cxl_screenshot_wamorra_48
We could turn left here, but just so you can enjoy the view and see more of the peninsula I'll make us take a detour.

Showcase for the State of Wamorra Cxl_screenshot_wamorra_49
Here you can see a few of the medieval houses left on the peninsula as well modern appartement buildings near the beach on the mainland.

Showcase for the State of Wamorra Cxl_screenshot_wamorra_50
This road is the connection between Saint Sophia and Wamorra.

Showcase for the State of Wamorra Cxl_screenshot_wamorra_51
View from Saint Sophia on a bridge crossing the A20 and the last appartements before the industrial area. Wamorra is based on oil-drilling and industry.

Showcase for the State of Wamorra Cxl_screenshot_wamorra_52
This small street is the way to our destination. Serious climbing ahead now!

Showcase for the State of Wamorra Cxl_screenshot_wamorra_53
Walking past some medieval houses. This street is often part of a stage in the yearly held Tour of Dantanaea.

Showcase for the State of Wamorra Cxl_screenshot_wamorra_54
Just a little further.

Showcase for the State of Wamorra Cxl_screenshot_wamorra_55
We've arrived! Time for a rest in front of the church.

Showcase for the State of Wamorra Cxl_screenshot_wamorra_56
From here you can see most of the city. Right in front of us is the Shell Arena, home of Wamorra FC and the Wamorra Drillers.

Showcase for the State of Wamorra Cxl_screenshot_wamorra_57
Last opportunity for taking pictures before we head back to the hotel! While not that big, Wamorra sure looks nice by night.

Beautiful! I love it all! Very Happy The place reminds me a lot of where I live Razz (you often have to walk uphill or downhill for varying distances if you don't want to get caught in one of the locally infamous traffic jams), and the chuch looks almost exactly like the belltower of a church that I've passed quite a few times Razz

Thanks. It's a RL-building, somewhere in the Ukraine, I think, but I'm not sure.

While k50 thinks the best part of CXL is the birds-eye views, in my opinion it's the night shots. Very nice job here.

imo, the best part about Cities XL is the street/surface level and near-street/surface level views. Razz
