Thank you very much for the motivating and encouraging review, they are rare lately, as we all know. Yes, i found some freetime i wanted to efficiently use to create Ohpo and Desert Town. I really like concept cities like Desert Town, i like things we haven't seen yet that often. Not that easy after all those years. Unfortunately we have not enough mods to create winter cities, poverty, norwegian houses etc. so i appreciate that you acknowledge my Las Vegas Theme. Especially thanks for your last sentence <3
I really miss your CJ so much, it was a development over years, what i have seen in the forums. There are so much things like a dam, a marshalling yard, the conveyor system and the overall high quality of the transition area and the size of the city. Maybe it is still to come?
Thanks for taking time to look at Ohpo and Desert Town! Greetings and C U

Hi there. Thank you! Surprisingly i found a few weeks of freetime to finally create the island town Ohpo, then due to a lockdown here and holidays some more to create Desert Town. It was fun building again. I try to make a poorer city next, but freetime is running out... nice to see you around.

Thank you! Indeed Breaking Bad was the model of the idea with that caravan :-) Actually i also like the empty desert pictures...deserts are fascinating to me, but i did not know for a long time how to build a city there. Thanks for the nice review and the nice words also for the circuit! Nice to see you still here :-)

Thank you as always for the detailed review. And thank you for the acknowledgement and recognizing Desert Town as creative as it is :-D. I had the same feeling during the creation that i haven't seen such cities before. I was about to give up, because it looked so boring and didn't know what to do beside the gambling street, but with time it looked better and better and the ideas for other areas came up :-). Thanks also for praising the circuit.
About the size of the desert...well, in my imagination the size of 270,000 km² is an overall size of the desert, not just the size within the country. The desert extends abroad (southward). El Pablo for example is a Bordertown in the desert too. But i think i did not make that size-thing clear in the information i gave.
The reststation and the highway exit/entrance there have actually a real model. But i agree that the size and lenght of the ramps turned out too big.
Btw: its Hotel Eropagnis (Singapore backwards - where the building is located in reality ;-P). It is a hotel chain, i built it in Coldwater too. That are that little details and informations that connect my cities. There are more of that infos in this CJ. Thanks you and merry Christmas!
