   4/5,

   Good idea the airport but it will be better you use the airport mods and make your own airport, IMO i do not like the default airport from cities xl.
   Second point, the city look a little bit "sad", i think you should build some decoration to make the city more colorful.
   But anyway, the city look good, i give you 4 stars

      Thank you :). My next step probably is upgrading to CXXL before I even start any new cities and then I'll definately try airport and harbour mods + get some better plazas, promenades, bridges etc.

   4/5,

   4 stars! I was unsure whether I should give you 3 or 4 stars, though:
   You have some nice ideas, e.g. that little airport
   on the peninsula, and I do like your CBD a lot!
   The railway through the suburbs looks quite good,
   though I would probably recommend the use
   of either some road bridges, or some railway brdiges,
   to avoid those intersections:
   http://xlnation.city/resources/dummy-railbridge.1493/
   The promenade was done quite properly, good job!
   Again, I do miss some more detail, e.g. some more decoration
   and more care for the airport and the port areas;
   e.g. some more warehouses next to the port, some
   decorative oil bins, and so on.
   Maybe you would like to have a look at the CJs of facaden,
   Malbourne and Rozenburg, or the ones of Inan, especially
   Bay City, they both show that you can decorate your port areas
   and make them quickly look very realistic!
   I do also respect that you run CXL 2011, though!
   Maybe changing to Platinum or XXL was better?
   Or is your laptop/PC the problem?

      Thanks for a good rating. And thanks for the railroad bridge tip. With details: I tried to get some mods for decorationg my cities, incl.some warehouses, that would have perfectly fitted to the port area, but apparently they don't work in 2011 version. I have a 4 year-old laptop and when I bought it, I didn't have in mind, that I need it for computer games. So, the performance is quite bad. I might upgrade to CXXL some day to see if it runs better (I understand, that it uses multiple cores).

   1/5,

   120 mil nossa bem pequena . esta ficando legal vejo futuro nessa cidade . você precisa utilizar melhor as arias vazias precisa de um preenchimento nas arias da costa para melhor visual . eu to finalizando minha cidade ela já esta com três milhões e setecentos habitantes eu gostei da ideia de criar cidades de um pais eu também vou fazer isso mais só depois de criar historias que diferencie cada cidade

      Thanks to google translate I can understand, what you are saying in general :). Well. I checked few of your city journals and we indeed have totally different styles. I like to keep my skylines minimalistic and I believe, that the size of the city isn't too importaint. 127 000 is a decent city in the corner of the world, where I come from (Baltics/Nordics). Yes, I have some empty areas, because my computer is nearly crashing, when I open this city and it can't handle expanding the city. But I'm OK with the city as it is. I'm also not into generating historic stories. I mainly like to create transportation networks and general looks of the city instead.
