Cities Skylines - The Foundation of Praetoria (Part 1)

Cities Skylines just turned 7 years old, and it's STILL the best modern era city-builder out there! So out of sheer nostalgia, we're jumping back into the game with a brand new city: Praetoria. I envision she shall become a shining jewel for the world, a thriving metropolis with unparalleled beauty and luxury... so now we just need to make that dream a reality!

Pleasing to learn Pravus is starting a game without nerve-wrecking difficulty for his own personal enjoyment! Praise Pravus!

[@pinglord7279]

I think your water tower might be a bit too close to your industry area, causing people to get ill.

[@Rachitoi]

Move the water tower Pravus!

[@MrRnkRBLX]

Good thinking 💭

[@PS4DUDE333]

Tru

[@TGYTCrafts]

Oh yeah…..

[@Virsteinn]

26:16 Pravus has something akin to a jumpscare reaction. This series sure got off to a strong start.

[@bigpiggaming512]

Electricity jumpscare

[@guitar602991]

He was shocked 🤣

[@Ashkihyena]

When I hear jumpscares Cities Skylines isn’t the first thing that comes to mind.

[@Shezaad18]

Got excited as I thought this city would be inspired by Pretoria, where I used to live. But still excited for the approach of this series. Can't wait for more!

[@Funfactschannel..]

Same

[@tino85011]

So pleased you've done this series. Love this game

[@eris9062]

Pravus, I'm sorry, no, grids are one of the *least* traffic efficent methods of road planning what they excel at is connection for small (relative) cost, the thing is with grids if one part of the grid starts to get clogged it can bring the entire city to a halt which is why most countries don't use a grid system for city planning, because although they're cheap and easy they lead many socio-economic issues, namely dependency on cars as it reduces the efficency of PT, high urban pollution, atomisation, reduced fuel efficency, increased traffic times, etc. this is one of the fundamental reasons why cul-de-sacs are possibly the biggest faliure of uurban planning in modern history. Real cities have curves. edit: I just want to say I'm loving the pre-planning and this episode was wonderful, please don't take my earlier comment as saying you're bad or anything

[@TheSpyGorillas]

check the noise, land, and water pollutions as these are the causes of sickness. also dont try to save every penny, i spemd alot of money and it ends make me profits than if you didnt spend much, cities skylines is more of a building game less of a strategy so money isnt much of a problem

[@TheGrinbery]

And we're back to cities skylines! I missed that game if I be honest

[@73malaki]

Welcome back ... Buddy! :)

[@austincaple289]

same

[@troyboi7662]

I never watched your last play through, or at least don’t remember it, so I’m excited to see this one! And I’m probably gonna look for your old play through(s) while I wait for each upload haha.

[@zakthiart7594]

funny thing with the city name. there is a irl city with the name Pretoria so it looks like its misspelt

[@evertythingnice6798]

Lol that's what I was thinking

[@gabrielprusso8970]

Pipes underneath the road... Where they belong!

[@josephhoward7912]

When starting your city instead of chucking both the entrance and the exit to the highway on the same road it’s better to use a roundabout👍 Praise Pravus!

[@NDO1998]

Oh wow, that's a very nice surprise!

[@tnk4me4]

I've been playing this game vicariously for years and just recently bought a copy in the latest paradox sale. It's a great game. And I'm exited for this new series.

[@historynerd72]

As a South African fan i was very excited and thought u were modeling ur city after Pretoria(1 of our capital cities)😂... Anyway great video looking forward to more

[@Smiley123ization]

Same, was hoping for some Jakaranda streets

[@tatenerwande2070]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🇿🇦🇿🇦

[@the-b0y.]

I'm Zambian but I thought the same😅😂😂

[@hammy3462]

He forgot the load shedding 🤣🤣

[@dailyrandom3949]

Strange how you find yourself in random places in here. discovered this game yesterday and I'm hooked

[@bluu3268]

Damn my friend was right. Everyone IS playing city skylines

[@bouncycrawfish5430]

Preatoria is very close to an actual city Pretoria one of the Capitals of South Africa 🇿🇦

[@Lightningpro-qs7ps]

I very happy your back to cities skylines I really enjoy watching these type of games!

[@finnmulder8549]

I'm so excited cant wait for episode 2!!

[@AnoNymous-lh7qm]

Yes! Thank you so much for bringing another series of Cities Skylines!

[@AqzaHAT]

Hell yeah! Keeping up with the logarithm, keep it going. Lovin it

[@bartoszkosmowski7149]

4:51 Pravus grids are terrible at traffic management (at least IRL, I don't know about cities Skylines)

[@schwarzschild976]

Thought the same. Reminded me of the video 'Why Cities With Grids Are Terribly Designed' comparing Chicago and Copenhagen.

[@rodrigocuevaquijano4601]

I've never thought about planning ahead by zoning the whole map in advance. It's a great idea. I'm gonna use it when I play.

[@gamingfox9845]

Okay, this might be a 1000 part series I can watch all day :)

[@jasonpayne2321]

Planning out the city has me excited af

[@Daniel-gk1dp]

Never played or seen the game before. Watching your videos right now, highly enjoyable!

[@2b2useful]

nothing is more permanent, than a temporary city layout

[@jakubpopowski3887]

Civil war flashback when i heard Dixie Park

[@maverickrisinger8103]

I’ve been so excited for this series and I can’t even watch it yet 🥲

[@ohiopsdfordman]

Im so excited to watch this series been a while since ive seen some good cities gameplay.

[@dbush4life]

I going to love this series

[@christophers8443]

DUDE THIS IS FRIGGIN AWESOME

[@thedumbchicken7120]

[@user-kk1xc3ty6n]

Love cities skylines! Looking forward to seeing it grow!

[@nicholasmaher1909]

Excited for this series!

[@josephdragunov374]

Seems like a nice change of pace.

[@TheGretalian]

Let’s gooooo

[@adskiyangel3323]

"Ideally, we don't need to have too many trucks through the city" - Pravus Haha, good luck with that xD P.s. The plan looks solid though

[@garrettlaundry357]

Being the son of a truck driver, I take offense to this statement...

[@James-kg7rv]

Yayyyyy I’m so excited for this

[@SethBacon09]

Feels like this man did this whole video in one take.

[@weeb9466]

Love the content keep it coming

[@funlightfactory6031]

To get rid of the brush menu, press the ore option (the icon between the three trees and water square) and then press it again.

[@weeb9466]

“Our first victims, I mean residents” 😂🤣

[@tupcho33]

Love your series, would like to see your approach on people and resources soviet republic

[@geesecouchtaming7223]

Pravus you should try The Battle of Polytopia and apply your skills with strategy games on it

[@draconightfury9946]

I wish most of these quality of life mods were just added into the game

[@DeathSynadate]

I normally don't comment or like or Interact with videos because I take content for granted. But please continue this series thanks

[@shadowglitchtrap3832]

Oh here we go

[@rhinoracer]

Praetoria looked a lot like my home city Pretoria in South Africa...you clickbaited me without even trying...it worked though, I'mma watch your channel now

[@rjc.valencia5815]

Pls continue this series 🙏🙏🙏

[@mattdeman2839]

I feel like they should make a game like this but like a dictatorship kind of way

[@joerange459]

You should check out the Tropico games series

[@PugnaciousProductions]

Tropico could be enough for you, but it isn’t really like city skylines imo, it shares a lot of aspects, but they tend to shuffle around eachother in terms of depth and shallowness for their mechanics

[@dereinepeterpan5637]

Workers and Resources: Soviet Republic. The game is far more in depth though and you build a whole country instead of one town

[@lazuliartz1296]

I'd say play Frostpunk for that experience. Although I will say that Frostpunk is brutal in terms of difficulty lol.

[@alanl9497]

Right. Like having your citizens wage war against another country and they somehow find themselves with an abundance of natural resources 😂

[@kaadutz]

Yasss we are back to Cities Skylines

[@C5RandomMotivations]

Oh yeH almost finished watching your last season cities skylines now will add this to playlist

[@galaxynetwork4469]

wow this city name is really close to a city in my country, Pretoria

[@haexi1010]

No way! Hahahha, I just started a city. on this map too. Will be fun to see how you are developing it

[@LovITSWE]

101% budget on city services with vehicles ads one more vehicle for minimum cost.

[@arianaisalwayslonley11]

clicked on this so fast! cant wait for the second one!

[@GhostCryProductions]

Ding! Ding! Goes the Trolley!~

[@askingalex2319]

lol I use to live in Pretoria, its a city in South Africa

[@opsaxena5516]

Finnaaly u played this agiain

[@opsaxena5516]

[@edstar81]

looking forward to this

[@TheSuperNinja1234]

I instantly clicked this you have no idea

[@syamsuladdenno6715]

Me too… and when i heard he gonna plan this out im already excited!

[@arpamn3507]

Same lol as soon as i see left a movie behind

[@HotMochaCake]

Lol I was waiting for you to call it Bow Park as well

[@paulkviding3842]

Yes Cities Skylines I love this game

[@AccOriginal]

If you wanna boost your game performance (and by extend the FPS), get rid of the very dated Ultimate Eyecandy in exchange for Play It. That also includes the day/night time feature and a simulation speed slider, so you don't need the old slider mod anymore. It's so much more optimized than UE.

[@robertwilkins7714]

You should check out Rimworld

[@GreaterD]

i dont know why,but im getting the feeling this city is going to have a big crime problem and will get the nickname Predatoria

[@jankhalil2065]

love this game . hope maybe you can do Anno 1800 again sometime

[@Telsion]

A surprise but a welcome one!

[@PrinceAlhorian]

Preatoria... Hmmmm Any connection to my country's (South Africa) capital, Pretoria?

[@Zestone01]

Hmmmmmm, one of the three capitals my good South African friend

[@PrinceAlhorian]

@@Zestone01 Executive Capital - Pretoria, Judicial Capital - Bloemfontein, Legislative Capital - Cape Town. But as most of the running of the Country has historically been done in Pretoria we kinda see the city as the defacto first capital.

[@Zestone01]

@@PrinceAlhorian but you see I live in cape town so......😂

[@PrinceAlhorian]

@@Zestone01 I'm in Jozi... So were familiar with two of the three flavours of shenanigans in our country. Mzansi you gotta love her, warts and all. Peace for you brother.

[@Zestone01]

@@PrinceAlhorian peace to you too my brother Gotta love the country even with all it's kak😂

[@NitrasN]

21:00 - When that guy in Apartment 1 had the extra large king-sized Burrito for dinner D: Oof

[@vineheart01]

i miss this game. But i havnt played it in awhile and when i came back to try it i saw like $100+ worth of DLC i didnt have and freaked out lol

[@YourHostIrwin]

“Your permit is revoked!” Made me laugh

[@aron_156]

What are the mods used here or where can I find the list of mods?

[@TheMono25]

I've just downloaded this game it reminds me of the very 1st Sim city I'm just installing it now hopefully its Updated game to remember my childhood

[@zrnov1934]

wishing this and banished could come back (democracy would be appreciated!)

[@josephvelazquez3227]

Me coming back to check the end because of how episode 2 started lol

[@skb3000]

8:35 played too much plague inc😂

[@partnermammoth2562]

yeah yeah

[@MrSHADOWANGEL999]

Glorious

[@seanwhite4837]

If can add a nice big zoo for the tourists.

[@Obsdragon]

Unlike Salt Lake City, Praetoria does NOT just incinerate all non-glass recycling.

[@darkphantom9117]

i do recommend "theo town" very good city bibber

[@thekailwolfsinshow8374]

21:03 i pausd at this part and thought he about to say "SUicide spike" instead of "SEwage backups" like damn I was got a the first ngl

[@Weyird]

Pretoria is (one of the) capital(s) of South Africa... It's weird seeing a city named Praetoria.

[@theprinceofallsaiyans_vegita]

If you right click on a district you can choose different architectural designs.

[@kirpaljotsingh1146]

When he said our first victims😂😂😂😂

[@robertwilkerson9706]

Probably don't have even a 100 hours and I agree that's it's one of the best modern building games ever

[@interstate1335]

So at 26:12 or so you can see a building on fire JUST before the town loses power. Is it just me or did that cause the outage?

[@laploopy7830]

Could you please do another moded rimworld playthrough, I know myself and maybe some others loved the last 2 and have been waiting for you to make another one

[@fitnessimperial]

When it comes to infrastructures, zoning, education, transportation, overall happiness, future potential and all the things that makes the perfect city in City Skyline: Which city in America or UK, would you say is the absolute best city with great examples of how it should be done?

[@evertythingnice6798]

I clicked coz I thought the city is Pretoria, love that city irl

[@cintylou72]

epic👍👍💀🔥

[@alessiobenvenuto5159]

Yes. Yes you did. 😳

Whose idea was it to put the cesspool of humanity, tweeter, into this game?
