I wont be tricked. NL can't trick me to buy another logistics game by playing them really poorly and making me want to just do it right.

[@lorenzobagnato4805]

If only there was a free version of the game on Android (and maybe ios too idk)...

[@Simoniz07]

Strongest-willed NL viewer

[@Uaene]

iOS version is so much harder than the steam version, airports reach full capacity hella fast

[@aoimiyamori9517]

​@@lorenzobagnato4805 android version is balanced differently in order to get you to make in-app purchases

“it would be cheaper to get a life” shifted something within me

[@yassineb.8659]

His one liners are actually amazing

[@sleepiestgf]

the banter in this one is so good. the spokes, the buy a bike/take a train idiot, the making fun of both americans and europeans

[@hzeal3797]

NL when planning air routes to Nice, the second busiest airport behind Paris: idk just buy a bike lmao NL when planning air routes to Podgorica: yes this has to be the busiest airport in the entire world, if you want to go anywhere you must go through Podgorica

[@ScorpionXXXVII]

Well it doesn't seem like the game models actual populations, so any airport can be a major hub

[@lorenzobagnato4805]

He knows France banned short haul flights

[@deeznoots6241]

@@ScorpionXXXVIIit definitely does model population to an extent, bigger cities will produce more passengers. Trying to hook up China or India is hell in this game, so many passengers from the humongous city pops.

[@Baleur]

Loved watching this whole video without NL realizing that upgrading airports only upgrades the buffer, while adding more airplanes to existing routes is what actually increases throughput, thus reducing the need to have a larger buffer to begin with, and on top of all that, acts as an equalizing function on the whole world since the delay between input and output is decreased.

[@invention64]

Yup, towards the end he had passengers piling up in a bunch of airports headed for Barcelona.

[@bduddy55555]

Today Twitch chat learns about the hub-and-spoke system and why they can't get a nonstop flight from their backyard to literally every other airport in the world

[@JordanPeace]

can't relate, my backyard is literally JFK International Airport

[@pociksasiskin7285]

Average NL chatter has a private helipad on the roof of their house.

[@ThatOneIrishFurry]

Chat be like "hub and spoke means every airport is both a hub and a spoke"

[@ThatOneIrishFurry]

I respect NL playing the "1 plane per airport" challenge run for his first playthrough! Reminded me of when he was doing the "never recall units" challenge in wildfrost

[@masterplusmargarita]

This is basically "what if mini metro but simpler and glacially slow", isn't it?

[@vmp916]

My favorite part of this was chat back seating that there were not enough direct flight options and NL used that to strawman all of European travelers about them being entitled.

[@ConFusi0n]

[@xantos456]

To get to Japan we drove an hour and a half to Cincinnati then a hour and a half flight to Chicago then something like a 8 hour flight to Helsinki with a 8 hour layover then another 7/8 hour flight to Tokyo. It was something like a 28 hour trip with a 12 hour time change lol and we flew over basically everything.

[@Bleighckques]

What do you mean, you didn't connect through Hamburg?

[@yorutaichou]

The upgrade noise is like someone deciding to record their smoke detector as it slowly waltzes to hell. Replace your batteries folks

[@yorutaichou]

55 minutes in and someone says this exact thing. Thank you random chatter.

lol. loved when it was addressed

[@SplorchGorch]

Thank god someone else noticed. My dogs were on-edge the entire video haha

Fast forward to NL playing OpenTTD arguing with chat about why Ro-Ro is the superior station layout.

[@Michael-kp4bd]

We don’t even have ł’s in English, we don’t even call it Polska, I don’t know why we don’t just Americanize it to like Vrotzwav. Ehhhh, never mind “Raw Claw” reigns supreme.

[@bduddy55555]

I do hope he keeps playing this, the rants are absolutely top-tier

[@mcgoo721]

Cant wait to see this. My grandpa tried to help to unite europe once and it did NOT sound easy.

[@slothbro2740]

my man hates munich

[@ahmadburhanhabibi]

All roads lead to Hamburg

[@brandonr2906]

Game has potential, but really needs more ways to see the macro-level data - longest trips, demand, profitability, etc. Kind of just feels like a digital board game right now. (Disclaimer: making this comment having only watched the first 25 minutes)

[@brandonr2906]

Ok I watched a few more minutes and got bored. NL nailed it when he said the entire game was "click red things until they turn yellow or green"

[@ScorpionXXXVII]

Yeah. Demand not being met has zero penalty except not making max money, and the timer, which also doesn't seem like an issue

[@bradleysiddeguzman3466]

I've played the game, if you don't unlock loads of countries as early as possible and get the extra time, you'll start to struggle because the price of buying a new country gets exponentially hire

[@G00N3R7883]

Does the game have costs for staff wages, plane fuel and maintenance? Because it looks like you just pay one purchase price for a new plane/airport and then have constant profit.

[@deeznoots6241]

@@G00N3R7883it is just constant profit, the challenge isn’t making money, its not getting overwhelmed by ever growing numbers of passengers wanting to travel further and further distances.

[@Dubz0r13]

Those good ol' EU4 zooming in and zooming out skills on display. Good form!

[@Michael-kp4bd]

54:24 “I’m not your hub, I connected to your hub.”

I am begging you to connect all the capital cities to take pressure off Hamburg

[@TBH_Inc]

42:40 I did that over my college’s spring break!! Lot cheaper to squeeze 4 people in a car and have them each drive 6 hours than to fly from Ohio to Utah.

[@bduddy55555]

[@Rararawr]

He will never upgrade a plane to get people out of the airport for a quarter of the cost to upgrade the airport

[@LordUroko88]

You want to fly from New York to Washington dc? Well first you need a layover in hamburg

[@MsPymParticles]

[@Michael-kp4bd]

I don’t think I could watch anyone else play something this dry. It’s like the perfect playground for NL to do the goofiest shit and scold chat

[@Llewellyon]

Why does the UK look like a Bad Dragon in this game?

[@csguy3223]

The reason you don’t fly backwards if you jump on a plane is because the plane is moving you forward at the same rate it is moving. So you’re flying very fast but you’re just in the plane sitting down so it feels like you’re not really moving.

[@altmindo]

i love @nothernlion exactly because he (havent) acnowledged that the sound of connecting airports is the sound of smoke alarm. took me an hour.

As a Slovak, I take little (a lot of) offence, in how you've literally unlocked all the countries surrounding Slovakia before unlocking Slovakia lmao. Nonetheless, great vid. Love you!

[@Mtnbike121]

"A new city in poland...... next to warsaw", i laughed so hard at this lmao

[@limbridk]

He played very well. Still a few strange choices in there, but all in all, well played. That being said, I would have liked him to get Iceland and Canada. Huge planes, long haul, big bucks.

[@csguy3223]

I get the hub system, but it definitely feels like distributing the load would put less risk of failure in a single point.

[@agblattvids]

He's never gonna play this again but it was so nice while it lasted

[@tacokarl]

The Paine Field reference had me pogging

[@timturner7609]

This is what killed darkest dungeon and wild frost. Lol

[@d4670]

Would the ideal layout be to decide a general small radius per hub, have all other airports within that radius exclusively travel to that hub airport and maybe form a ring with them, do that for another layer, and have all the double hub airports interconnect entirely?

[@vario6492]

Many people were saying that NL makes up quotes that include 'many people are/were saying this' as he goes along

[@Forbizz]

It's cheaper to add a plane than to upgrade a plane. * upgrades 3 planes

[@Ekklo]

I have to say NL...I dunno if I have smiled or laughed as much in a while as this here. Keep it up King. Only wish I was there watching you keep chat in check. 🤘

[@Nick-xu7ns]

[@JimiPain]

[@eospogito8388]

“Feels like we have a little Oslo hub” caused me so much pain

[@altmindo]

46:34 here you hear the man with experience in travel. i really makde no sense for portugal/spain to have no flight hub, considering ther are the closest between US and the mid/south-EU. curvature accounted. we need to have a hub in barcelona/lisbon IRL

[@GKinWor]

wow this game is awesome

[@minorking1121]

All these flights for places like down the street from each other.

[@zaaxi7424]

Have you ever stood up on a plane as its coming into land? Its the time spend taxi-ing on the runway too, the speed at which passengers decide to collect their luggage and remove oneself from the aeroplane is unbearable. I for one am a stretch my legs enjoyer, as soon as we hit the tarmac I wanna be off the plane and on my way to the beach

Milan is kinda big and really expensive and masive air-trafic hub tbh.

[@trevortheminiman]

Depends on where you live in America I think. I'm in Michigan, it's a big state, so a 3 hour drive is easy. There's almost no public transportation, so you just gotta deal with it. Makes 3 hour flights, no big deal either. The problem is the 3 hour drive to the airport.

[@HobtheGoblin]

I can't fathom what getting on a plane for these 13 minute flights is like. Doesn't spending 2 hours in TSA negate the benefits of flying?
