More Highways to Catch Up With the West - Altengrad 96

[@drunkdriving_germany]

The random ass pyramid casino has got to be the most 90s thing ever

[@serebii666]

Between the Luxor Las Vegas that opened in 1993, or the Memphis Pyramid in Nashville in 1991, or Prague's Goja Music Hall Na Výstavišti in 1991, it was just the zeitgeist. No wonder the Mummy became such a popular film franchise

[@Exoneos]

@@serebii666 Louvre Pyramid 1989 close to the nineties lol

[@saber1885]

I appreciate how the series has evolved into history lessons disguised as cities skylines videos.

[@jasonlescalleet5611]

This feels like one of those big, epic, multi-generational stories. Altengrad has changed so much over the decades. I can’t be the only one nostalgic for the pre war era, with the medieval-through-early-20th-century buildings. Before the Nazis, before Communism. Looking back it feels like a simpler time.

[@danimonte7088]

so true dude

[@kaiserteddie9564]

14:12 i wonder what type of goodfella owns those fancy black cars, hopfully people who arent shaddy at all hehehe

[@KittenRaee]

"Certain natural events" I literally exclaimed "oh shit!", because while I was not there for it, I worked for government agency that dealt with infrastructure resulting from this event and I saw the sheer scale of it.

[@iron_hare]

for stopping traffic at the petrol station, you could maybe force traffic through your stop sign as they leave the casino / mcdonald’s in stead of allowing a direct route back onto the highway. another idea, if it was actually implemented in the 90s eastern bloc: a weigh station for trucks - could force them off the highway and through a stop sign in front of a road services building + weighing platform via a heavy traffic ban district.

New Altengrad episode = the world becomes a better place

[@ninjathedeadguy2655]

WAIT A NEW ALTENGRAD VIDEO JUST DROPPED!!!!!🎉🎉🎉

[@qzg7857]

1997 my wife and her family were evacuated to nearby city cause... the thing was happening. As if Central Europe did not go thru a lot already. We even made a songs in Poland about this event in Poland. Most damaged was Wrocław which You seem to take more than a few inspirations already

[@MisterLajk]

@@qzg7857 funnily enough. When Altengrad gets into 2000s he can make it happen again. As in 2002 there was even bigger one in Czechia, the biggest… thing… captured in modern history of our country.

[@grisvonlada68]

Why is everyone talking about "the event" like it's a big secret. Am I missing an inside joke?

[@OpenSparviere]

​​@@grisvonlada68Maybe it was such a big event that they talk about it is as if everybody knows what was the biggest event that happened that year

[@KPSWZGII]

@@grisvonlada68 Oh that was a big event I remember it. If You say 1997 Even we will all think of this for sure.

[@MisterLajk]

Oh no… 1997? Are we going to see some tsunami waves? 😂

[@qzg7857]

1997 there will be Wrocław in next episode for sure. My wife was a child but she remembers her family being evacuated

[@danonck]

Just a few clicks around the dam or terraforming the riverside and we have the flood, without the need of any rainfall. 😂

[@petitkruger2175]

I just realised the episode numbers somewhat correlate with the year - so epsiode number 96 is close to the year 1996

Hi from South Africa

A warm hi back from the Netherlands 👋🏻👋🏻

@@CakeboyRiP thanks 👍

[@steinberg02]

this is by far the beste series in cities skylines i've ever seen - the sheer amount of development and education over such a long period of time is amazing. thank you very much.

[@woltroztrainspottingrel]

Maybe for the next episode you could take a look at railway infrastructure after the 1997 central european flood? Perhaps remake the central railway station, electrification, new yards/depots, etc etc

[@justheretocomment4810]

He already renovated the train station on stream I‘m pretty sure the episode is gonna come out soon

[@woltroztrainspottingrel]

@@justheretocomment4810 Ah okay

[@bruh666]

maybe you can plop an invisable commercial building underneath the gas station, so people actually visit

[@RC_animation]

Road episodes are my favorite. Keep up the good work

[@fagocitotico]

an Altengrad Episode is just the motivation I needed to survive one more workday 😂

[@danonck]

Omg, the flood of '97 coming to Altengrad, can this series BE any better? This episode was lovely too, obviously. I'm always here for infrastructure builds!

[@damn3256]

Just a recommendation for the bus transport networks: For this age, a great fit is the B732 (in the workshop). Ran from the 90s until 2015 in Prague, last one got retired in 2019 in Havlíčkův Brod. I'm not sure if this hasn't been said/implemented yet, but would make a lot of difference for the perfectionist bus nerds lol

[@Akruas]

That asset doesn't look good at all in game.

[@renaultopelbmw]

So cool to still see someone using the original Skylines, seems like everyone has transitioned to Skylines 2. Love the content... Thank you for your time and effort.

[@rastademar6027]

I really love this city

[@goldigenshin]

I totally love your content, i have watched every video since last 5 years

[@200mccsa]

Love this series! Will there be more first-person rides through Asturis? Also curious about your next project-do you think CS2 is (or will be) in a state to support a long-term custom project? I think it would be cool to imagine a kind of alternate-history utopian city-what if the various "mistakes" in city planning in the 20th and 21st centuries hadn't happened?

[@WillrichvonVille]

I think this would be Altengrad pre-1939, because of the equally shared infrastructure between cars and trains.

[@skutočny_svišť]

No, R1 in slovakia from Trnava to Nitra is open in end of the 1980´s

[@maciejgutt338]

love the series!!! I hope citizens of Altengrad are reading up their sandbangs xdd

[@SoWhiskey]

I can't wait for the next episode! Deluge?

[@IbisCiteasSoundaufnahmen]

If you include 1997, do you also include the same thing in 2002? It was a huge thing in East Germany. Or do you just do this one time. Or just some parts,? But I need to say, I really like your series. I wait every two weeks for a new episode :D

[@PremDaiii]

Love the episodes as always!

[@theweebrt]

17:28 a suggestion. Set pedestrian crossing regulated with traffic lights (hidden in the pump column) and set the time of the traffic lights as you like. You might as well try and raise the speed limits in the gas station and lower it on the highway just outside the station... just yo try to increase the traffic in the station. Just suggestion. I love your videos andi follow you since beginning of Aurelia. Keep on!

[@jakubcesarzdakos5442]

I wonder if there is someone who has seen all (or most) of the events shown throughout the series and now watches it

[@france7579]

Would be really cool if you went and added custom highway signs using po

[@Fraslet]

Great as always 👍🏻

[@aleksandernasiowski8139]

@Akuras I in poland we build one highway called gierkowka from warsaw to katowice fully new road which could be called highway. In 1970-1980 A little mistake but you still done a great work!

[@Akruas]

Could be called but wasn't.

[@davidthememer5852]

Still droppin bangers😎😎😎

[@LucaFuchs2]

19:00 the cars drive on the shoulder.

[@GrimT86]

That triple p project you discussed is something my state did for its EZ Pass lanes. It's a bit shady though, because state troopers are enforcing the speed, occupancy and fast lane pass laws for a private company while they price gouge people to use the fast lanes ($15 or more between a handful of exits). Anyone from my area will immediately recognize what I'm talking about and where i am.

WAKE UP BABE NEW ALTENGRAD VIDEO

[@idc1347]

hell yeah 1997 flood is coming

[@ibecomhaire8724]

Can't you use one of those invisible parks to create a sort of demand for the gas station?

[@Ben_MuscleInnit]

As someone who lives in Opole I think I know what's gonna happen in the next episode

[@aleksajojevic3959]

I think those trucks on the gas station are parked the wrong way, they should be perpendicular to what they are facing now!

[@asticek2115]

It would be interesting if u would simulate the 2002 ,,100year old" flood of Prague. It wouldn't be that dramatic because Altengrad doesn't have a metro to be flooded.

[@rastademar6027]

What a spoiler (Jahrtausendflut)

[@MrEast666]

Bro! Please make a theater/concert hall like TSX Broadway or something like that. Its engineering marvel:) of course in later decades.

[@frantasramota1359]

Why do I have feeling that the highway ring wont be completed.

[@snoepjebeertje8938]

You made very realistic highways, i love it. Could you share the Steam Workshop link of the "Magistrala" roads that you have used? Thank you.

[@georgeowen2553]

17:30 would an entertainment block cube not encourage car users to 'visit' the petrol station?

[@SamuelBrylski]

What happened in central Europe in 1997?

[@dragonbornexpress5650]

Let's just say the Oder, Moravia, and Elbe rivers kind of....expressed their discontent with humanity.

[@Arathorn-PL]

There was a powerful flood, im Poland called Powódź Tysiąclecia (Flood od the Millennium)

[@JAYKAY-z6g]

How about a small international Airport for altengrad as it is getting pretty big. There are for sure some Airport projects of former soviet Countries

With that kind of tease, absolutely. Central European Flood, 1997.

[@jakubw.2779]

Are you really gonna simulate THAT event, including lots of FLOW, from 1997? Kind of anxious to see it being made in cities skylines. Or do you mean completely different event. But considering you mainly cover Czechia, Slovakia and Poland and take inspiration from them it has to be THAT event.

[@JJejek]

Do you have metro in altengrad? It would be nice addiction to the big city

Really nice, can you share with this roads? I mean the name of networks or Link to the workshop

Is it possible to get the custom highway roads without markings or something similar? It would be much appreciated, thanks

[@mpastv]

You can get these kind of roads in the workshop. They have IMT in the title and there are collections i think.

[@x_zschannel]

@@mpastv Thanks, it is just that when building highway interchanges for example I prefer the customisability of making the bridges rather than having to resort to vanilla

[@nomedocanal8496]

I know they are not the focus, but i really think that you should've give at least some insights and information throghout the series about romania and bulgaria, maybe a little bit to yugoslavia and ussr. I just think it would be cool for us to even notice the differences between those countries to central europe...

[@alexandruianu8432]

Technically you should call them Motorways (or controlled-access highways), not Highways, since highway is actually just a paved road of any kind outside city limits.

[@yanislee1085]

But didn’t socialist states prioritize on rail connections more than highways? Arent their other means of transport to get by?

[@Akruas]

This is the 90s, no more socialist states.

[@susangoaway]

The EU era... I am going to puke. In Poland these S-ways are basically the same level as german autobahns. We just have extremely high standards when it comes to A-ways. (with somewhat dumb junction planning) and I guess the EU did give us a boost in that regard. But now it is taking it all away and taxing everyone to death in the name of some sick climate ideology, which is even more infuriating because Poland was supposed to be independent and not have a replacement for Moscow which is Brussels today. 13:10 Is that a Czech thing? I don't know if that was a thing in Poland. Though Poland had to deal with massive market reforms first. And things were being done, slowly but surely, even without EU help. In all honesty, 2004 was a mistake. Poland finished its first ring in.... around 2019. And it was not the capital (which has been delayed due to sabotage by politicians and bureaucracy)

[@petjuh1985]

That climate stuff can prevent us from a climate crisis and horrible future. And it gives you cleaner air and more nature. Only idiots are against is. So shut up and read stuff before you post nonsense.

[@dragonbornexpress5650]

"climate ideology" Someone hasn't done basic research, it seems. Also, comparing Brussels to Soviet era Moscow is hilarious; Despite you living in Poland, it seems you know absolutely nothing about your country's past because that is pure ignorance.

[@susangoaway]

@@dragonbornexpress5650 Aha, you not only want to tell a Physicist how Physics work, because someone doesn't toe the official line you've been indoctrinated into, but also want to tell a Pole how the situation is like in Poland xD Congrats on being special needs.

[@susangoaway]

@@dragonbornexpress5650 Seems like youtube deleted my comment. Either way, you're the ignorant one. It's not hilarious at all. It is alarming, and it is a fact that Poland is not an independent country, especially with the most recent elections where the EU essentially couped our former government by heavy interference in our national elections. You should consider either learning about other countries and stop being bigoted or keep to yourself so you stop embarassing yourself with that ignorance.
