Bonjour

District name: Rindfleischetikettierungsüberwachungsaufgabenübertragungsgesetz It translates to "i like tea"

[@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines]

🤣

[@gastah5so170]

The translation says “Beef Labeling Supervision Task Transfer Act” 😂

[@joshcuffe1168]

Old Brauenburg as the district name! Play on words with Brewburgh, with a german twist

[@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines]

Ooh clever! :-)

[@lg.studio]

Then go with Alt, instead of Old, do be more German.

[@StarShadowPrimal]

I like it, but you could also play on that and then let the name evolve in a more organic way that ended up with the English-speaking locals calling it something that sounds more like words they know, like Old Brownsburg, or shortening it to something Obrunsburg.

[@DrakeGamer85]

Really clever! Didn't think of that! XD

[@inyobill]

Alt Braueberg

[@maxscharff1267]

If we would wanna go tea-related: the most famous German tea is the „Friesentee“ or „Ostfriesentee“… so i propose „East Friesen“ or maybe you could call the River Friesen

[@edwardtheinsane]

For your very deep river, you could just lean in and emphasize its canyon-ness. And turn it into a feature and make it a national park or something. I haven't really seen anyone do that.

[@szabolcsbenedek1504]

I don't know, seems a bit odd to me. There doesn't seem to be a clear center of this conglomerate of separately grown up cities. It's like they grew into eachother, and even the street layouts don't seem to be centered towards anything. The old town's streets in Europe always lead to a square, or towards a destination. And from one to another were conected for better transportation. I can't see the evolution from one part of town to the next, it seems as if Autumn Medows was the ”new city, built on the shining hill up above”, just so that the others can be conglomerated. I like the small triangles for the firehouse, and the crematorium. They are built in the right places, look like the type of square I was talking about, being a destination around destinations

[@TheZzuzy]

Its time to name it Biffaburg city in honor of all your hard work and dedication over the years!

[@Comdroid66]

Biffa this city is breathtaking!! Wow I'm glad you are still making amazing content, Happy Festive Season 🎉🎉

[@cheech-7-7-7]

I never ever saw a carpark in the middle of a german housing complex Biffman. Usually like in Belin you could walk around a houseblock without finding an entrance to the backyard. You can only enter those little green islands through the house itself

[@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines]

I bestowed upon them the beauty of a close by parked car :-)

[@rahansk8200]

In the rental in Berlin, where I was, there was a small car park in the courtyard of the building. And I was 10 minutes from the center by metro.

[@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines]

So what you're saying is someone commented something on the Internet as fact and your own personal irl situation proved them wrong 👍😅

[@cheech-7-7-7]

@@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines I was talking about those Building Complexes wich are made in 1920 to 1950, most of those old houses have been bombed in WW2. The ones that still exist usually had no carparks inside...lots of them have a garage under the house

Yey !!! Biffa is back and takes my hometown of Berlin as a building example !!!

[@Japonicastar]

“Just adds a little something something” that’s ConflictNerd’s level of description! Love you both by the way! 😊

[@TheDigitalDevils]

Missed opportunity to start and place the German train station with full upgrades for doublesided access and in what would be the center of the town and expand outwards from that. That is the way most older European towns actually are built. That and churches galore with huge empty squares for the towns people to meet up at the farmers markets etc. Most things use centers to expand outwards from. This is just "plop one here, something else here etc."

[@nealjroberts4050]

These areas are usually called something like Old Town by the locals so Oldbrew? Altenbräu in German. Or perhaps Oude Brouwsel for that Dutch element.

[@time_to_teaparty]

I have a suggestion about the highway in the EU section. In Berlin there is the "A100" highway that wraps around south/west Berlin. Most section of west Berlin have that highway sunken into the ground so the connection roads are not cut in half. They function as on- and offramps too. When you need more inspiration, there are some nice road layouts around "Savignyplatz", "Meyerinckplatz" and subwaystation "Spichernstr." West Berlin wasn't as much destroyed as the east in the war so you find more old style layouts there. For the future Japanpack I can suggest you some cool layouts in Tokyo. Interesting enough, the city of Pyongyang has some interesting street layouts and island builds.

[@feliciiaab]

I’ve been re-watching Blightea-on-the-wold and missing that city. This video came just in time and gave me more european vibes!

[@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines]

Cities 2 UK build coming soon 👍😁

[@feliciiaab]

@@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines Ouhh! Looking forward to it 🤩

[@BlueDirico]

Love that start for the old city, the Berlin's inspiration is very nice with the river around !

[@roybmanofmerlin]

I love how your Horky Porky Road layouts still seem organised and pretty looking. Maybe the suburb could be called Brewlin. Or Brewlin Gardens

[@derbygaz]

Biffa, I think if you push the High School back a bit further and turn the alley into a road, the resulting triangle would look great with medium dwellings on. This would look normal in an old town

[@666JGNotts]

Great idea, looking forward to it taking shape over the next few episodes 😊 It’s a shame though that the river level seems to be a lot lower than street level as far as I can see…. I could be wrong though!

[@lukejams]

now this is the right way to play cities skylines, placing buildings by hand, block by block, looks so much more organic.

[@EldGames]

Had to watch 20:40 a few times, thought you said "Housing Mistakes" and I was like, "No, those look good, I don't think they are mistakes." Turns out it was my mistake - "Houseing and Estates"

[@sampreston200]

love this new addition to the city

[@EternalGamingNet]

[@FaithlessEmoRacing]

Could call this area TeaSong Mills. As a small tribute to its foundation but with a new Tea related twist.

[@ExpedientFalcon]

Classic anarchy mode adding random extra nodes and breaking your roundabouts.

[@mattazmy]

Great concept; this is the first time we have seen you do this.

[@dijikstra8]

Very nice! I wouldn't really call it "old town" though, those buildings are more like 19th-early 20th century, the kind that make up large parts of European inner cities. "Old town" to me at least connotates a much older area, like medieveal era.

[@GCOSBenbow]

The old city/cradle of Paris is known as Île de la Cité (City Island), most will say the equivalent in Berlin is Nikolaiviertel (Nicholas's Quarter). Maybe take inspiration from both and call it 'Brew City Quarter'?

[@Likasense]

London had one too, but it connected it with the neigbouring landmass

[@cheech-7-7-7]

Oh yeah, I had the same Idea to show you a map of Hamburg or Berlin to show you that we have kind of huge house blocks but there is mostly a huge space in the middle like a park with big trees.

[@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines]

Yeah it was great inspiration 😁

[@ws_stelzi79]

District name: Bräuburg - This would be an almost literal German translation of "Brewburgh" without the "new" part. It also has a very fancy (at least in English) looking "ä" that really makes sense here and isn't some fancy style thing. 🤪

[@PartTimeMAYOR]

Seems really nice and natural!

[@brustavez]

Really loving the combo of French and German packs!

[@BillyBnMore]

Wow CS2 is finally coming together

[@zendorin]

The name of the district could be The AnTEAque District 😁

I like the river cutting through the mountain gives a canyon look IMHO

[@PhilSrobeighn]

Oh boy, I'm rarely in early enough for the naming discussion! But all I can come up with is a silly one: how about Heiss-Blattwasser?

[@DanAI17]

I'd go with Alt Buren-burgh, roughly Old Brewburgh in German! Loved Berlin when I went this year so looking forward to seeing this area develop!

[@SMITHY705]

Going back a couple of videos but I definitely think the university should be called fort brewberg university (FBU). With the ruins there it sure has an old fort feel 👍

[@YHY88]

25:28 for a district name: Palais des Thés (FR) or Ronnefeldt (DE). Both are well-known tea brands.

[@Amethyst454]

I love the music in the 15+ min mark

[@DungeonKeeper]

In Germany we have a special kind of sugar - Kluntje - and it is a rock candy. It is often drunk in dark tee (some like it with cream) in East Frisia (Ostfriesland). Maybe "Kluntje" could be a name for some part of the map :D

[@brendanwall9513]

Suggestion to use the new ‘old’ French train station instead of the small one. Fits the old city idea better.

[@AceCat]

I'd like to suggest Old Brüberg for the name. Its Europeany and a nod to it being the OG part of the city... 🤔 Loving the city though!

[@trainmaniac5524]

At 3:22 on the top of the river is the train station U Spittelmarkt. That is the train station that was closest to my hotel when I was Berlin.

[@nacoran]

Not sure for the whole city, but one of the blocks should be Tea Square. A hotel called The Four Celestial Seasons, a pair of tall buildings called the Twinning Towers...

[@cheech-7-7-7]

oh thank you, that´s what I was waiting for...could be a bit longer...

[@ChaserYohmoi]

Love how biffa keeps putting schools on the basic alley that has no sidewalks 😂

[@robertrickwood8896]

You could rename Birdsong Mills to East Frisian. It’s in Germany. It’s famous for its tea museum and German tea culture.

[@nortonniersen3154]

Maybe a name that has changed over time. My idear is Kohl-Kaiser-Brück. The original name was Colonia Julius Caesar but after the Roman empire fell the name changed and because of a stone bridge surviving until the Middle ages Brück for Bridge was added. It would simbolise a milenia old history.

[@lvcas2557]

i think a great name for this could be "Camellia's town" it come from the latin name of the tree where the tea come from, could be good since it's like an old town vibe

[@ipex8772]

My Idea for the new district would be "Kräuterstadt", which is German for "Herb Town".

[@mouhamadoudiako]

Name should be Valburgh as the oldest town before urbanization on New Brewburgh!

[@esumiwa5583]

Biffa: time to ditch the X and join Bluesky!

[@simongeard4824]

The "islands" you point out at the start look like locks for ships going upriver... I've never been to Berlin, but I saw similar structures in Prague...

[@mygerms9568]

The area should be called Berghain

[@WillyLangley]

Nice Video!

[@Saftiger_Teig]

I would replace the level stock interchange, since they are really uncommon in Germany, instead you could use a cloverleaf interchanges, which you see here everywhere.

[@SiqueScarface]

If this new district is modelled after Berlin, it could have a name like Teelow. Seelow is a small town East of Berlin. And Tee is the German word for Tea. We also could get a German-French portmanteau and name it Thelow, with thé being the French word for tea. And to not turn it into the low, maybe Thelau instead.

[@3ords3orth]

With the mix of German & French assets maybe, Palais des Thés? I think that store has locations in both countries.

[@frenchfriar]

Maybe avoid doing so many overpasses it feels unrealistic to me because I am pretty sure those bridges are really expensive compared to a regular crossing.

02:15: Them're locks

[@beratna1]

While I really enjoy this series, I can't shake the feeling that the 4way highway interchange was and still is hugely overbuilt. (Case in point: the tunnel for the industry buildings). The current German themed quarter is a good thing, however I feel like the Autobahn shouldn't be going through the old town.

[@simongeard4824]

Yeah, I think that stack interchange should be downgraded... it's a massive system interchange, but with half of it now converted to urban roads, a simpler service interchange would be more in keeping with how the area is actually being developed.

[@brucebacsi]

Krankenwagenstadt as a district name, because we need some beautiful german names in CitiSkylines :D
