Ardaman is an Senator city founded and owned by _cosmon, located at LW46 on the MRT Lakeshore Line. Ardaman was founded on December 7, 2020.
History
After vibely lost his previous location for his city, he was suggested to use the random location button to find a new area to develop. This resulted in him ending up in Ward 8 in Zeta, where he liked the idea of rivers and plains, and thus on November 5, 2020, construction of Ardaman began. Much of November was focused on the city's town hall, the Ardaman World Trade Center, but in late November, progress shifted towards developing a Councillor town. After a few weeks of hard work developing several districts, Ardaman was declared a Councillor town on December 12, 2020.
Shortly after getting Councillor, Ardaman started aiming for Mayor by focusing on more commercial and infrastructure-focused buildings, such as Ardaman Central and the Ardaman Center for the Performing Arts. Ardaman also has formed plans to connect with the outside world with the proposed B84 road and deals with warp rail companies. On December 31, 2020, the town received Mayor, despite its relatively small size.
Moderate plans for Senator included the construction of more legal and educational districts. Ardaman's current focus is scale and infrastructure, focusing on more inter-city transport. However, development is on a small break as the mayor pursues other cities and projects. Ardaman was unanimously promoted to Senator on November 26, 2021.
