How to Start a Boreal City with Detail in Cities Skylines! | Auridon Ep.1

Welcome to Auridon! This is a 'lightly’ modded Cities Skylines lets play series, although I do use a ton of mods the series will use mostly Vanilla (+DLC) game assets with only a handful of extras from the workshop. The focus of this build is on making a detailed city, with functional mass transit, including all DLC and content creator packs. 2022 ready! The series is based on game play mixed in with detailing timelapse's.
Episode 1 focuses on how to start a city and forward plan our road networks, industry areas and transport options. We build our elementary and high schools, and a small commercial water front town centre. There is less emphasis on the detail here than later episodes as we are playing through the milestones so detailing is limited until landscaping is unlocked!
This is my first Cities: Skylines let's play series for KZbin, in-fact my first ever video, and I know there's lots of work to do so please bear with me!

I've taken massive inspiration for this build, and to start my channel, from the Cities: Skylines greats such as Biffa, Imperatur and City Planner Plays (among many many others i would add!!) but above all from the amazing OverchargedEgg and in particular his Palaven series which has heavily inspired this city. You can check that out here:

No water pipes under the road and you are handing out praise. Tsk..Tsk ;-)

[@davidcorreia3901]

Wow, I'm glad City recommended you. You're really good.

Roundabout in episode 1...! I can see this will be a great series. Very enjoyable, fantastic first ever video too 👍😁👍 (Here from City Planner Plays)

[@fewcandy]

Wow, thank you Biffa!! I learned roundabout techniques from the best 😁 glad you enjoyed it!

[@nicholas_pope]

Holy cup of tea, comment from biffa, great support in the cities skylines community

39:18 I think Biffa was proud to see the large Rick put Into the roundabout.

[@TS_Mind_Swept]

@@fewcandy yes; don't listen to the roundabout haters, they'll just drag you down (just remember miese en place ;p)

I was literally just tagging you! but couldn't find you :D

Thank you Egg 🥰

[@_RandomPea]

Just got you on recommendations today, good pace and style , and considering this was your first very impressive! Like the way you explain your thought process. I'm a console player but have learnt a lot from KZbinrs like Ricky King. Nice to see you start cities the same as me... Dirt road everywhere! :)

[@OVERCHARGEDEGG]

Yes please, those little height layers around the bridge on the 4 lane and that whole school park design? Yes please FewC! Great video :)

[@sarahsingh348]

You're insane in such a good way! This is amazing! Subscribed!

[@haxwood]

Oh yay, I was looking for a new build series! This was a really great first episode - I love detailing too, especially with the schools! For name suggestions - I thought of Woodhaven - inspired by the woody trees throughout the area alongside with the tranquil vibe of the waterfront.

[@fewcandy]

Great name suggestion! Thank you

[@ridingforpresident-jelzins5808]

This city already looks great! Please keep on making next videos 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@PunkVoter]

Great first video. I love how the whole community comes together here and supports a new member. Even the "big" names!

[@Kimar7779]

I am so hyped to have found a new Cities creator! Can't wait to see what the city becomes!

[@joeschmoe0216]

Fantastic job, I am always impressed when people get into this level of detail with their cities, and your handling of the landscaping and the business plaza was just amazing. Again, well done. Excited to see where it goes!

[@davidrichens4453]

Fantastic start, really enjoyed it, in fact you’ve inspired me to have a go on youtube, been meaning to for a couple of years but lack of confidence won! Looking forward to see how things grow!

Really impressed with how the city is looking after just one episode. And as for the micro-detailing.....just WOW!!

[@617aaron617]

This is pretty darn good for your first video. I'll be looking forward to more.

[@kennymccormick4233]

Loving this new series! I would love to hear some commentary while you do timelapse so we can hear the tought process on the detail work you do. Love listening to that! Keep it up!

[@sarahducky86]

I followed Overcharged Egg's advice and checked out your channel. I'm so glad I did. This is looking brilliant already. Can't wait to see what is to come. This was an automatic and enthusiastic like and subscribe!

I’m excited to catch-up on this series! Already impressed :D

[@pappasquirrel8015]

Yo, the explanation and the gameplay is so smooth.... 👌👌

Amazing!!!!! Congrats on the first video and PLEASE keep ‘em coming!!!

[@thewytchdoktor]

I got sent here by Overcharged Egg and his recommendation hasn't disappointed. Love the content, and I'm sure this channel will contribute to my not getting any work done.

[@heidiwheeler1930]

Really well done. I wouldn’t have known this was a first for you if you hadn’t announced it. You’re definitely not a novice at Cities Skylines! I’ve been playing for a year now, and your video goes to show how much I don’t know. I’m really looking forward to future postings from you.

[@fewcandy]

Thank you so much! Really appreciate the comment!

[@Frog-vr151]

Great start great narration. You gained a follower

[@michaelbrewell99]

G’day excellent video very detailed and love the explanations. Keep going Joy got me in.

[@MrSunshine251]

Like so many others, I came here on Egg's recommendation. Great episode and start to your series Few! I'd never have known it was your first ever video. Definitely keen to see the next one! Happily subscribed 😊👍

[@TheTivec]

Was catching up on City Planner Plays videos and had your series recommended, and as you're wrapping up the first episode I can see why. Excellent work! Looking forward to more detailing work in the future.

[@fewcandy]

Thank you! Hopefully you'll find the content takes a step up from this first episode! 😆

[@peglegpat8369]

Great First Video!!! I would have never thought that unless you said something!!

[@Josh_The_Tech]

KZbin recommended this as I watch a lot of Cities content. Didn’t know it was your first video until you said. You’ve got it down! Great to see another UK Cities KZbinr too.

[@danielstenzel8683]

Very nice Video. Considering it is your first it is truly amazing. Got a nice style to your Build. Can't wait to see more. :)

[@ashbash2634]

Really enjoyed this build! Great first video :) i subbed and can't wait to watch the rest

[@pineapplelove65]

Love finding a new lets player. Looking forward to the series.

[@Nelson-Sunburn]

Found ur video from a promo by Overcharged Egg.. i must say, love the way u approach the game: modded but at same time respecting the milestones and the budget that is given. Well done, loved ur 1st video.

[@quantumkong8118]

This just came up in my watch algorithm, well done on your first video...you're very much a natural presenter. You have a new subscriber!

[@WillCSOfficial]

This is so good!

[@kiraph]

I came over from CPP rec and, wow! Such a great start to this build and a really different approach. I'm looking forward to seeing where you go with this build. :) Very inspired to try something different next time I play.

[@marvingvk]

I really enjoyed watching this episode. Looking forward for a lot more 🙃

[@frenchfriar]

Welcome to You-Tube! I find it hard to believe this was your first video, it was so well done. Definitely subscribed, I cannot wait to see where this city goes, and I truly enjoyed both your presentation style and your city aesthetic. Well done!

[@d9dga]

Oohoo... New binge initiated, looking forward to a very precise build 😂

[@brown1971]

Such a fine start! Definitely does not feel like a first video. Already well polished.

[@fewcandy]

Thank you!

[@rikkifudge761]

Love this looking forward to watching this city grow.

[@tazannacolt3313]

Looking forward to the series

[@GKFF9872]

Oval-abouts! The only other cities skylines KZbinr I’ve seen who does it. In my opinion far superior to a roundabout to handle heavy traffic.

[@Strangekabuki]

Found you via a FB list! Great first episode. Great voice for narration. Really keeps you engaged without being distracted. Unlock all, but regular light mod play. Exactly my style. The square unlocking always rubbed me wrong. Will follow with pleasure. 6k plus subs already. Great start.

[@actiontoystories7015]

Amazing first video on KZbin!, you are definitely got yourself a new follower 😀

[@baibore]

Thanks for the positive vibes on wednesday morning. Great start! Good sets of mods and you are using them quite well, I wish I can do the same for my cities. I really liked the non-grid layout for the suburbs. You have a new subscriber now and I am sure that we will have a wonderful city when this series ended. Till the next episode!

[@TheDecWhale]

Great job, the video is absolutely amazing, FC!

[@swivvy3037]

Mad to think this is your first video! Love your playstyle where you try to be a bit realistic and fluid rather than min maxing the space with perfect grid systems etc... Even how you edit to highlight "oh yeah I've seen this, ignore it for now" is a refreshing break Can't wait to see how this series evolves

[@tornado_smith]

Love the vid. Really looking forward to this series. Biffa eat your heart out.
