SoW: Battle for Moscow and other Igromir news

The docks you see are, on the other side of the river the Greenland Dock, on this side on the Ilse of Dogs, to the left is the Millwall outer dock leading to the river, at right angles to it leading to the right is the Millwall inner dock which is topped by the West India/Millwall dock. These should be railways, warehouses and docking facilities as well as dock workers housing.

Come on...

And Oleg you see this house in that coner... the roof was pink not red.. mdr

How much time did you think its take to create London in the exact same think...... and the other city.... and all this think. Try to be close as possible.. but hey... you wanna wait for 20 yrs

Seriously...

Yes I am serious. The major industrial areas should have an industrial feel about them. I'm not talking about producing a painstakingly accurate recreation but maybe at least having a different generic layout in the industrial areas, certainly having dock cranes around the major docks and maybe having a different house type for industrial workers housing. Maybe also major items like power stations should be represented, and certain key factory sites, like the aircraft factories. Perhaps details like these will come later, or perhaps there will be the facility for the "community" to add these details?

One of the major route finding features leading into London are the elevated brick viaducts carrying the railways. I can understand that it may be difficult to model all of those but I would still be interested in seeing how the rail features will be modelled as you approach the capital and the numbers of tracks on each rail route increase, and how the road rail crossing points will be dealt with.

I am hoping to see these viaducts as well.
But I imagine it is a big headache for the development team even just trying to fit railways through all the modelling work (of buildings) they did for the cities. I'm still hoping though.

Seriously, it's a poor quality shot of a work in progress. That's why I didn't directly refer to the image rather pointed out what the Isle of Dogs looks like. We've already seen models of dockyard cranes, warehouses, rail heads.

Details? I've already seen sub-urban semis terraced in inner city urbations but haven't commented on them because I couldn't care less.

As to details. The Isle of Dogs is the docklands. It's one of the most significant targets for the Luftwaffe's raids on London during the BoB. It is acres and acres of warehouses, docks, wharves, rail heads, factories and workers' housing. It's the heart of a maritime empire, it's not a little detail.
