Hello,
My name is Joseph A. Lambert and this my creation of Carthage. The metropolitan region boasts a population of 500,000, and was created using a realistic population mod and a total of less than 500 custom assets on the Steam workshop. This city, which requires the Airports, Far East, Match Day, and Vehicles DLC packs, was created as a world-class city designed to simulate realism.
The city itself is divided into 6 wards (West End, University Park, East Side, Albertson, Riverdale, and Center City), and adjoins several towns, including Lenox, Larchmont, Thornlie, Prescott, Ridgecrest, Wendover, Springfield, Franconia, Foster, Fremont, and Newton. The city was historically founded as an industrial center that also served as a part of the region's historic forest industry. The city then expanded to add jobs in the petroleum and silver mining industries, which later collapsed due to dwindling resources. The city now serves as a hub of the financial industry, which employs more people than any other industry.
The city boasts an amazing bus network and a commuter rail service that links the city with the surrounding towns. However, the main backbone of the public transit network is the Carthage Municipal Subway, which has six lines and 98 stations over 86 km of track. The first line to open was the Red Line, followed by the Blue, Green, and Orange lines in that order. These four lines use high capacity subway trains that carry 400 passengers. The Silver Line is a line that encircles the entire city, while the Gold Line serves the city's eastern suburbs and the maritime freight terminal. Both the Silver Line and Gold Line utilize driverless metro trains with a capacity of 200 people each, and are fully underground unlike the first four lines.

This is the main view of the city's downtown area. The centerpiece structure is the Artemis Pearl Tower, with the Teleport Terminal and Union Station also shown. In the background is the Winter Financial Center, which is based off First Canadian Place in Toronto. The building not far behind it is the Toaditopia headquarters, which is located in the University Park ward.

Carthage Memorial Stadium is home to Carthage FC, a soccer club that competes in the top flight division. They started out as a struggling expansion team during the city's 13th year of operations, but would go on to win their first championship title in the city's 48th year. They have 2 championship titles to date.

Here is a view of the overall area of the city and its surroundings. The city is connected by Interstate 47, with Interstate 247 and Interstate 647 serving the south and north peripheries. The western periphery is served by Interstate 33 and the eastern portion is served by Interstate 847. A branch off of Interstate 747 serves the city's airport.

The Cornelia Jacobs International Airport is the main airport for the city of Carthage. The airport has a main terminal with 24 gates on 2 concourses and 12 commuter gates in the areas formerly occupied by two small concourses. The airport also boasts a satellite terminal with 16 gates that is designed for use with larger aircraft, as well as a 12-gate freight terminal. The airport originally opened with a single commuter terminal, which was demolished to make room for the X-shaped main terminal building (which itself was inspired by concourse D at Harry Reid airport in Las Vegas).
