The Most Iconic Start to a City? | Let's Play Cities: Skylines EP 1

[@ImperialJedi]

Anybody up for some Nostalgia? Also it's the Asanu Beach Map from the Content Creator Pack that was released when Airports came out!

[@DynamiteTiger1]

One of the biggest reasons why I haven't been back to this game is because of traffic management in vanilla. But I haven't really done much with mods. A suggested mod pack would be greatly appreciated!

It’s so good to see you back on KZbin. I think I speak for everyone when I say we missed you.

[@ImperialJedi]

Time is weird, I have no idea how and why there's always these long gaps but always good to be back and seeing some familiar faces in the comment section :)

[@Riccous1]

Agreed

[@jesselesperance7213]

I agree I've missed your videos

[@CityPlannerPlays]

Welcome back to KZbin, Jedi! I look forward to catching this series!

[@ImperialJedi]

Always happy to see a comment from you! Hope everyone on your end is doing well

[@Codybyproductions682]

Hi cityplanner

[@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines]

Welcome back! 👍😁👍

[@ImperialJedi]

The man himself!! Maybe we need a Biffa roundabout now?? And thank you :)

[@Meeesa]

It's the OG Bob Ross of C:S!! As always, very happy to see you back on the YT!!

[@MrCrowleymrc9]

The Bob Ross of Cities Skyline is back on KZbin!!! Now that you're back, you can't leave again (long breaks)!

[@Haeronalda]

Definitely felt nostalgic as you were the first youtuber who got me into cities and I will love to see more. I can't do mods as I play on PS4, but I'll try to build along when I'll have the time. Thank you for creating more content!

[@summertime69]

First time viewer, hello! As someone whose worked in call centers for years, let me just say, your audience knows when you're smiling, and most customers/viewers like it. Don't apologize for being happy :) At most of these call centers, successful agents have mirrors on their desks to remind themselves to smile. Be happy. I like that you're happy.

[@ImperialJedi]

Heyo! Appreciate you dropping a comment, good insight too :) Hope you're happy too!

[@joed527]

Me too, first time

[@Stant123]

20:10 Snowfall player here, Highways don't get plowed. They aren't affected by snow at all. If this were a snowfall map, then upgrading all of the one ways to highway once they're unlocked solves the loop back problem, meaning it can be deleted at that point. Upgrading the one ways to highway also has the added benefit of removing the zoning so you can't accidentally put buildings and services there.

[@CraydaysOnTube]

Oh, nostalgia hits so hard! I remember watching your series couple of years ago. It was at summer as well. Now I instantly reminded of these days and excited about new series. Welcome back!

[@scubasteve9895]

Just want to say I’ve been playing this game for a few months now and have watched and gotten a lot of inspiration from your older let’s plays so I’m very excited to be able to experience this one in real time.

[@th3_rezur3ct1on]

Yes! have been waiting on this series for a LONG time!

[@neil_murphy1989]

Rez you me and everyone else here

[@jontreacle]

i seem to fall out of love with this game from time to time and then you come back. hooked again, keep up the fantastic content

[@zacwhertvine6765]

Daaang! Blast from the past! Been a couple years and even had to go back and find the Lakewood let’s play to remember where I started watching. Good to see a new city come across my feed here. Gonna have to see what all has changed and you’re the best one to learn from.

[@londontoffee]

Return of the Jediiiiiiii ☺️

[@ominousjorts]

Glad to see you back! Edit: I agree with what someone said below, using limited/essential mods (like traffic president, 25 tiles, etc.) Maybe as you go further along in the series you can add more in!

[@medman6649]

Really love how the overpass is completely flat. Nicely done.

[@ChaconChe]

Stumbled upon this. Fell in love with the commentary. Ty!

[@Nicoladen1]

28:47 I loved that joke tbh 😂 It's just so blatantly real. Great series!

[@RAI-1911]

Love to see you back! This build's so nostalgic... Always use this and battery to start my cities. Thanks as always :-)

[@madametrafficjam8347]

I literally just opened up Steam to update the game and look at new mods just in case I'd want to play some this week and I got the notification! Great minds think alike today!

[@ImperialJedi]

It's so funny how that always seems to be the case! Great time to be coming back! And great minds do indeed think alike :)

[@arwynOG]

I have been watching your Lets Play Cities Skylines videos for years. When I first got the game at release I had the hardest time getting a city up & running and it always came down to not having a good start. Enter your videos and to this day, I still start my cities this way. It is so wonderful to hear your voice again - you're the Bob Ross of Cities Skylines :D

[@medman6649]

What's most fun about your videos is that they inspire me to try things I wouldn't normally do. Great content.

[@apotheosis27]

Welcome back, looking forward to this series!

[@CardStash23]

Loved this episode - can't wait until the next one! Glad you are back on KZbin!

[@isabellem7292]

Happy to have you back and excited to see the start of a new city! 🤩

[@xeqou2325]

The one and only Cities Skylines player is back. I learnd so much from you. Your first step is legendary. Thank you mate. Greetings from germany.

[@tetrygon8264]

welcome back bud! It is good to catch your content here since the schedule just doesn't jive with Twitch.

[@iantubol90]

I love how newbie friendly this video is.

[@aksmami]

You are my all time #1 ASMR guy lol 😂 I love your narrative and creative building. Throughout these long gaps I used to fondly remember your videos but this time only to be surprised by the start of this nostalgic and classic series. Much love from Turkey ❤️

[@Hiatuslacuna]

Welcome back! Please keep up the good work on your let's play. I love it when you reboot and start another fresh town for us to enjoy.

[@flyvox]

Glad to see you start another series, Imperial! Looking forward to this one. 💜

[@qwertz_hun]

It's always nice to see a new series from you!

[@LavenderSkyla]

Imperial Jedi you're the reason I bought the game years ago and still love to play it today. Thank you

[@gyngertano5409]

Welcome back! Glad to see a new video from you. Hoping for more.

[@cjbarnes3000]

I got into CS due to you and so excited to see this Let's Play! Welcome back!

The original tutorial series was what brought me to this channel, back then I was playing on my Xbox One, now I'm a gaming PC with 64GB of RAM Ryzen 5 3600XT and RTX 3060. I remember you were were running a 4770K. I work a call center now too but from home.

[@JKenettOfficial]

welcome back jedi! looking forward to this series

[@chriswallace17]

So glad you are back!!

[@rhysdavis7068]

I've not come across your videos before but this was a great introduction to you, and your channel. I like what I'm seeing so far! Can't wait to follow along as you play! Cheers from Quebec!

[@Anonymous-yk9km]

YES JEDI! Love so much that you're doing another one of these. I absolutely adore your approach and method to playing this game and have learnt so much from your playstyle. Will definitely be keeping up with this one! - IncreasingKarma

[@Hiatuslacuna]

"Vanilla with sprinkles" -- Best way to explain the use for mods.😁

[@christopheraltman5522]

Blast from the pre-pandemic past! I started watching in 18’, I think? Love watching your stuff!

[@acp8760]

I used to watch you alot. I switched to CPP and Biffa but your city starts are so cool and I don't think I have seen many people do this. Welcome back. It is nice to hear your voice again.

[@mfbjo6854]

I actually used to feel quite intimidated by the game and could never really get going. I learned so much from your videos and now I'm 800 hours deep and still use this start almost every new city I make.

[@ronsterious]

hello Jedi! cool to see you active here! you got me hooked on CS and it started here on YT.

[@Expat_Jimmy]

I haven't played since the 5 builders series. Really love watching your builds.

[@playtimewithdragonfire]

I just hit play. But wanted to pause to say that it is good to see you back. Thank you for the inspiration you gave me to start my own videos.

[@CatLadyJude]

Nice start! I'll definitely be following along.

aa it has been long sinse i played cs. Nice to see you starting a new series. I'm looking forward to this. Maybe you can play with some mods, just the essencial ones.

Well, maybe I should have read the description before commenting hahah

Great to have ya back on YT 🤗

[@jasonk795]

I build a beginner city to fund my future city. I plan and design it and only complete the road to connect sections one at a time. Takes a little bit to get the people moved. The city is done before they move in.

[@KeeperOfDragons30]

yes now i can watch you when i at work in my breaks glad your back

[@ImperialJedi]

Hey man! Hope all is well with you and the family! Always happy to see a comment from you!

if you use the move it mod, placing wind turbines in high winds don't matter to much as you can just use move it to raise the turbine till it hits 8.

So good to see you back!! Im currently doing a streaming series called livetopia on this map on my youtube and its a fun map to do but very challenging! Very hilly but still its good! Hope this series stays!

I always start my cities the exact same way but I’m gonna try this soon

[@benderxx1338]

Welcome back 😎 fun video

[@jereme123]

The MoveIt mod has an option to slope roads easily. Shift click a minimum of three nodes using move it and then click the slope option and it will calculate a linear slope and save the time finicking with road height slope adjustments.

[@EternalMashing]

Rewatching these videos, can't wait for you to come back to KZbin. We miss you!

[@BlargleRagequit]

woooo new jedi lets play dropped \o/

[@rldash]

i STILL use this same exact starting road method ever since your original videos...its a Top 3 city start method

[@snagletoothscott3729]

If you really want to keep somewhat realistic with water lines once you get outside of the city to connect to water and sewer, instead of running them under highways run them together with power lines. Quite often a local or state government, in order to keep down how often it has to go through imminent domain proceedings, will get all the utilities together on strip so all the infrastructure is in one corridor. Game wise it also helps so you can remember where your out of town sewer lines are as you expand outward. When I do water towers I do much the same thing.. In-town water towers I usually use the gravel path to the tower (so theoretically the city can access it) and run the sewer under that path back to the main line under the road. More and more, modern subdivision developments are being built where the utilities are run up a thin strip in the back of properties (a small corridor between them is baked into the planning). Only the main lines to the subdivision have the utilities under the road (and maybe some rain run off sewers, but most subs are built with retention ponds where the rain water runs into, then into the sewer main). Since these are only service lines, they are generally smaller and shallower and so only light equipment is needed to dig them up and don't need to tear out and do expensive road work.

[@delroyclarke1989]

Awesome episode, good to see you back again 😀 I currently have covid so watching your episodes make me feel better 👌

Feel better friend!!

Welcome back! Your original series most definitely got me into Skylines back in the day and loving it since - very happy to see you pop up on my feed :) Could you possibly list out the baseline mods you're using? I've made notes throughout but just wanted to be sure.

[@marcie1671]

Finnished my first year of teaching, I totally find this game destressing. I am not great, I still have trouble with population bubbles and traffic. My cat watches it too while I am playing.

[@Jinjinajin]

Welcome back!

[@shantisamiller4512]

This is the best start I have found

[@legojenn]

Thanks for starting a new build. I'm addicted to grids. There's no good reason for it and I'm trying break free. I live in bloody Ottawa Ontario. I don't think that there's a straight road in the urban part of the city.

[@fallouts9869]

duuuuuuudeeeeee we missed you sooooo much!!!!!!

[@dr.bherrin]

I'm a diehard fan. But since my PC was lost a year ago, I have to play on Console/Stadia, and that means no mods....so seeing gameplay without mod requirements is important for me.

[@CookiedoughProductions]

I just downloaded it a few days ago again and I keep watching my city failing and trying to fix it but I keep coming back it’s really fun

[@Kmaaq]

The nicest youtuber is back!

[@mrmacc1312]

Just awesome thank you

[@fieryphoenix586]

Depending on the location, I've taken to making an overpass bridge and just continuing the freeway as the city progresses.

I'm always jealous of the mods available on Computer as a Console player but I'm just glad to have such a quality City Builder game Great content #NewSub

[@GlennNakamura]

Thank you for this series. I'm a noob. Only been playing CS1 since May, caught up in the CS2 hype. Only started adding mods and assets a month ago. I have pre-ordered CS2. I bulit a centrally located transit hub with 10 bus lanes, 4 metro stations and 1 train station. I currently have 10 bus lines, however really only 5 different routes. I'm using 2 lanes for each route, so my 1A and 1B lines are using 2 separate lanes. My plan is to eventually move my 1A and 1B lines to use the same lane and then have the other 5 lanes available for new routes. My concern is that with all the buses that will eventually be coming into this hub, it will eventually create traffic problems. Based on your examples, it looks like I should use the hub for closer areas, but create any new bus lines that service new areas that are far from the hub, but make them share existing stops, or create stops that are close to existing bus stops and don't feel like I always have to return to my main transit hub. I like that, especially because for the farther away routes, there's a lot of wasted bus travel and traffic just to get to the first route stop and from the last stop back to the hub. Or perhaps multiple smaller bus hubs scattered throughout my city? Btw, I think I heard you mention TO in one of your videos. I'm in Mississauga. I know geography doesn't matter, but if I should decide to join a discord server in the future, then perhaps yours would be convenient. I've never joined one b4 so I don't know what is involved and if it is helpful? I'll be 72 at Christmas. I don't know if I can add any value to the group.
