That's really cool! I see no locks or anything to get boats from one circle to the next though?

Oh hey, I love the Richet structure. I believe there should also be tributaries coming down from the mountains.
JahNoodles
I bet you the property value of those by the main roads are unaffordable to the the farmers

I watched a real neat thing on the location. Supposed to be in Africa, near the northern west top. Seems a good of place as any.

I have 1000s of hours in those games... still play them sometimes.
AndrewS816
Yeah, but did they have Sharks with Laser Beams in their moats?!

Compare with Carthage

This reminds me of the old classic, The Journeyman Project 3: Legacy of Time. Played the that through several times.
Whenshaithitsthefanputyourheadinthebreeze
More canals in order te reach the center and higher bridges?
allizart
Water reclamation plant?
GNiko
Is that a giant racetrack on the outer circle?
TrixNStix
It is when I'm going faster >:3
TheUnstoppableWampas
It's not not that.
trojanplatypus
That makes the most sense.
smartasswithcookies
No, it is the highway
darthstormer
The Atlantians loved their Nascar.
xXxSTEVOxXx
And they built a road course no less. True NASCAR die hards those atlantians...
FlurpNerp
It's for pod racing.
circlebreaker
Yes, site of the daily Guardman's Shin Splintsernator 500.
Imbbqn
Yeah… look up the Richat Structure, or eye of the Sahara. There’s interesting evidence for this correlation…
keenidiot
Not really. Digs there never turned up anything but Neolithic tools.
MERGATROYDER
Let’s just build it.
BobbyVegana
we have the technology
SomeDetroitGuy
Only if you want your city to smell like shit and be overwhelmed with mosquitos.
TheSecondPiewackit
If you keep it flowing, you just have to deal with the mosquitos. Anywhere next to fresh water is gonna have them.
synthetichug
So like most of michigan then?
SacrificialClam
Is that tenochti...technock....tenochti...the Aztec circle city?
NotACanadian
Club Technochocolate. And it's not a circle but it's definitely similar.

Ismellofhockey
That's the one.
RustledYourJimmies
I think it’s supposed to be Atlantis.
SacrificialClam
Um Atlantis is underwater. Haven't you ever seen the Disney movie?!
prolorus
There exists a modern Mexican city right now that looks like this.
Ismellofhockey
Wasn't Tenochtitlan like this?
batatatat
that’s what i was thinking
vindik8or
More like Venice but I see the comparison.
Ismellofhockey
http://www.latinamericanstudies.org/aztecs/Tenochtitlan-4.jpg Why more like Venice?
vindik8or
I mean Tenochtitlan is more like Venice than this picture.
vindik8or
That said, Tenochtitlan is on a lake while Venice is connected to the sea, presumably like Atlantis.
GoodEarthBetweenMyToes
I don't see a water inlet. That city will smell like loon shit on warm days, and have terrible mosquitos.
bigchop45
what if its fed by an underground spring
GoodEarthBetweenMyToes
Without high volume and adequate circulation? Swimmer's itch.
ShamaOA
Also very prone to flooding I'd reckon.
TurdHurdler
May explain something about Atlantis.
GoodEarthBetweenMyToes
This comment is under-rated.
executivedisfunction
Water visible further back in the valley. Water runs downhill?
SomeDetroitGuy
But not into the shit-smelling lagoons
TheeRojoDuke
christiangoth
There's no river, canal, or anything to carry water into the city. If it ever reaches the city it will do so by flooding the fields.
IsACouchASeat
There's what looks to be a small stream leading into the city opposite the port entrance. Can't see the water but the meandering trees
IsACouchASeat
Still doesn't look like it would be a significant enough of a flow to keep those lagoons fresh
LollipopFromHell
Atlantis was supposed to be three ringed too. But i dont see where the ship in the pic can go with all the bridges blocking its passage.
montyman185
A more conventional waterfront makes way more sense logistically. Just don't pull a London and build 2 cut off cities on a river
weewaawoowoo
Aye, we didn't get boats or bridges in London 'til 1928. It was a total logistical nightmare for the near 1900 years prior. Idiots!
Remmon1
It's entirely possible it's just a defensively measure. Make the enemy fight over the bridges between each ring.
PerpetuityPhoto
I believe those are supposed to be locks.
Feralkyn
It looks like the bridges are big enough to allow the ships to go in and out beneath, but there's docks in that outer ring. I'm more sad
Feralkyn
there aren't waterways between the rings!
Feanordidnothingwrong3000
Yeah wait, how did the ships get to the inner rings then?
Feralkyn
I'd have to guess a separate little trade waterway with its own shipbuilding, or maybe they move ships across land periodically to have
Feralkyn
ships for inner ring trade... idk but it looks cool!
ChocolateCookieAndFudge
They could have been carried by swallows.
QuartzPoker
That is Atlantis.
IncrediRis
are they hiring?

OuroborosX
Maybe that would be like a "freight" ship that docks in the first chamber, and smaller boats go from there?
BenHobson
Would make sense. It might be perspective, but the sea and ring water levels appear to be different.
montyman185
If you're gonna do that, just commit to canals. That extra unloading/loading step is a lot of effort.
OuroborosX
Lol. You mean like when they unload at every single port in the world to this day and distribute goods in smaller trucks?
badgesweedontneednostinkingbadges
I believe he was referring to having to portage around the bridges, taking stuff off of boats, to put it back on other boats.
montyman185
For this layout, once you get the smaller boat into the city, you'd still have to unload into a truck to get it where it's going. -
OuroborosX
Because if a ship carries say spices, it brings a large cargo that is then distributed into smaller cargo. Basic shipping and distribution.
montyman185
Either make it so the boat that get loaded at the main port can access the whole city, or unload into trucks at the start so you don't -
