When the undertown flooded, you stopped making money from it, but you were still paying upkeep, which is why you lost in the end

[@Seegtease]

You could totally do this challenge. Once the lower city was flooded, you needed to destroy all the roads and services that were causing you to hemorrhage money. Sure your city has shrunk, but you'd have a lot of time to grow it back on the high land. Just live within your means!

[@Genesis8934]

9:30 Architect move detected. The water won't hit the canal until it over tops the sea wall... Probably better to canal *then* sea wall, give the water some place to go first then the sea wall becomes taller by extension.

[@cyberfutur5000]

Some one should make this concept into a whole game! But maybe in reverse, so that the water goes away periodically and increasingly serviere. And maybe put in some sort of water dwelling rodent in it, just for the loughs. Jeez I would watch the hell out of that, if Matt would play such a game.

[@rachelcookie321]

A game where the water is constantly rising would be interesting though. The game could take place on like an infinitely tall mountain and you have to keep trying to advance your city while at the same time constantly moving it upwards. And possibly there could be new challenges the further up you go like with oxygen and stuff. Could take place on an alien planet so you can be more free with what is realistic.

[@MM-yj7yt]

That's a cool idea, honestly! Also I'd like to see some water drainage/irigation management, with canals and reservoirs. There would be some potential for environmental storytelling about the positive impact on nature and revitilising wastelands. Matt, please make a Timberborn roleplay in Cities: Skylines, like playing a game as if it was another game.

Ahhh the good ‘ol Netherlands simulator! Funny enough in ye oldie times the dutchies would actually build on hills and flood the lower areas to keep away any attacking forces. Anyway absolutely enjoyed the video, these type of challenges are always a blast to watch!

[@TransistorBased]

I love the idea that it's like 3am and someone has just broken into your house. You call for the police, and after a surprisingly quick amount of time multiple police vehicles roll up. However they do nothing to stop the criminals but start moving your furniture out and putting up their desks

[@niceneasyraps]

[@christophergallagher3721]

Water in Cities Skylines acts really weird when you change game speeds. The first burst was probably from shifting between slow and fast game speeds.

[@devileh]

Imagine your block being 80 houses long. Sucks if you need to get to the other side. 😂

[@KeeganYF12]

There was another map with the same concept a few years ago. It had some actual terrain for you to work with, which I think would be far more interesting. It also didn't have a flooding problem like here.

[@Originalsj25]

Idea: You probably could’ve started pumping water from the canals, which would’ve killed two birds with one stone by lowering the water levels in the canals, making them a viable solution, as well as having a source of water for the town.

[@mtbrocket]

Interesting. What you really need is a long, skinny map with a series of steps. Start at the bottom and over time the map just fills up so each step is then flooded. See if you can build faster than the rising water.

[@jackfishthe6th373]

I have always loved the challenge of defending against water in this game. Defending against Tsunami's is also fun.

[@nathanielboertien]

If you put water pumps in the canal and then turn them off they will continue to suck water so you can try and put many to stop the water from rising.

[@NotInterXX]

i think the reason you lost is A: the upkeep, and B: you had it on 3x speed for the final parts

Once you started building up it would have been a good idea to protect your services by moving them to the new area or just turning them all off so you dont have to pay the upkeep.

[@LaaWodyyy]

Thanks for another cities skylines vid These my favorite

[@kai-uwefranck6076]

If you don't mind being an evil mayer, and you want fast cash. First build cheap roads and when you control the taxis drop that next to nothing. people will flood in, once everything is built, raise the taxis and rob your citizens blind. Once they have left, demolish all the buildings and repeat again. You will be shocked how fast you get cash and then you basically have what you need for the long game

[@hollownation]

I’ve been watching quite a few of your CS videos over the last few weeks been keeping me amused but this one was awesome genuine tension the likes of which only top creators manage to pull of with serious hard work. You could do an entire series of just this map because it’s instant tension, multiple attempts over and over trying to beat your own high score with different techniques of course you real teaser is you will never win but the battle is what makes this impossible to look away from the fact that we know how this will end but not when. I’m very serious I want more of this so bad I think I would watch an entire channel devoted to this map.

This was a nice one, but you forgot you also have water pumping services, and you could had put water pumps on the canal and drain it away. And as soon the main city started to flood, destroy everything that costs money, every service, and dezone the whole place, even remove roads that are not needed anymore, except the higher elevation. But I think your city went bankrupt also because you never paid anymore attention to the highway going out. You could have just used the national 4 way highway for going in and out. Great video, love the video edits. As a fellow CS content creator, may I ask where you get those sound effects? They are really nice and give 'situation awareness'. 🙂

[@toddabbott781]

Can you stack a sea wall on a sea wall? Also never use graveyards and garbage dumps... always upgrade them to recycle centers and crematoriums as soon as you can. Also once stuff stated flooding you should have demolished it all as it still costs you money when flooded. That is what drove you into bankruptcy. You should have done all high density up top and had all the utilities up there. Then demolish everything below if you could not build up the sea walls higher.

[@samuelhulme8347]

Stacking sea walls is a no in vanilla but it could be in move it and anarchy mods
