I have been a subscriber for many years now, but I have been closely following your CS2 content since the game released. I have got to say that you are one of the most important members of the CS2 community right now. You have been dedicated since day 1 to providing fair and honest opinions and reactions to the game and its development. I cannot thank you enough for being a PILLAR of this game's community. It is only a shame that more game communities do not have more people like you in them. I truly believe that you are making a difference in the game's community and that Paradox was very smart to have went to you (and other youtubers) for opinions on the game's development and invited you to their summit this summer. Thank you so much for what you do! Videos like this are SO important for a game which has been a little bit of a disaster since launch. I believe we are heading in the right direction, though, and that the game has already improved significantly!

[@erikaverink8418]

I agree. I personally haven't played the game the last few months (time and playing stellaris again), but i will buy this package. Simply because i like this game especially with the latest improvements and will play it again. I always make a calculation for myself. That is this if it cost € 10 and i play 20 hours more because of it, it only costs me 0,50 an hour. Cheaper then a beer in a pub. And Paradox/CO games have a very long life span, with all their improvements and DLC's (i know this is an earning model). But buying a game and that is it, doesn't work for me. But this is just me.

[@Cigmacica]

My guess is either Tokyo or rural Japan, judging from the packs up to now. Germany and France got lots of architectural styles too, yet they’ve chose to specifically focus on specific cities (Paris and Berlin, wich is understandable) While the Uk one was really moreso about the countryside

For the growables in “Urban Promenades”, I could see them being used as part of a re-development programme in, say, old warehousing or port districts

[@flare2000x]

Exactly. Reminds me of some of the new buildings down near false creek in Vancouver BC.

[@henry_alphonse]

They could also be used to simulate redevelopment in historic European-style city centers. In my city, for example, you might sometimes come across a block of older historic buildings with a modern one crammed in between them where an old one once stood. Provided the distance from the sidewalk and everything matches fairly well you could have an area with german or french growables and a few urban promenades buildings dotted throughout. I think it would make the city feel more alive and lived in.

[@LeZylox]

[@dylan_downtown]

Having extendable metro interfaces is huge. Finally no more putting two subway stations right next to each other and forcing passengers to transfer above ground.

[@CityPlannerPlays]

Between that and the ability to completely change the facade of a train station with an extension... I'm in heaven!

[@mdhazeldine]

I agree. I've been waiting for a metro interchange station since launch. It would be nice to have a cross type one too, but I can live with a side by side one for now. The other thing we really need is a main line terminus.

[@TheTaxxor]

@@mdhazeldinecan’t believe we still don’t have an end station of any kind besides the cargo station (where we’d actually don’t want an end station most of the time). What I really want to see asap are the train end station and the metro plaza which were the heart of downtown Verde Beach

[@dayanreynolds8851]

Lol the forced above ground transfer between stations always gave me distinctly Washington, DC vibes, which has a couple places where stations were meant to connect but didn’t because of local and inter-agency politics.

[@circumflex3105]

I like that they didnt abandon the sub building functionality, because it kind of felt like it with the region packs. Also the sub buildings have nice sizes, so that for example they fit perfectly to a side or two of them complete a new rectangle. A feature that should be reconsidered for the base game buildings as well…

[@CityPlannerPlays]

Agreed. Hoping that the fix the radius thing though. I really like the way they changed the sub buildings this past summer.

[@IKetoth]

The modern set is legitimately just a full on update on service buildings IMO, the buildings are much more reasonably scaled for an urban environment while looking much nicer architecturally. I think I'll end up using those a LOT edit: I also tend to like the sub-buildings, I wish they were a bit more organically shaped than just squares and had a much bigger effect on the building, but they do help the idea of building a big hospital campus or police campus or whatever, rather than just this one building in a dry square footprint, the hospital or whatever as an "area" feels a lot more real that way, rather than a gamey square plot where you have to remove fences with move-it and do a whole lot of editing just to get to that look

[@riq_ceo]

I think it’s crazy how many of the educational facilities are multi story. Of the 4 schools I went to since 1st grade only 2 were multi level. I’d love to see more single story schools. I’d love to see high schools that resemble those you’d see in Texas/Oklahoma where it’s more like a campus. More customizable in that sense.

[@Project2457official]

That is more than likely because you went to suburban schools! Many of these schools are centered around higher density suburbs which typically are less car dependent-while I wouldn’t mind more single story assets the small elementary and high school are certainly pulling their weight. For a while we lacked these urban, peri-urban and denser suburban assets and had to contend with all the large footprint elementary schools.

[@michalinadabrowska1392]

In Poland it’s normal to have multi story schools, both my primary school, junior high and high school were 3 levels. My university also had 3 stories.

I feel like constraints add a huge amount of history and creativity rather than hampering flexibility. It is a game after all. Though I understand the need for some freedom, it can be fixed with mods. The reason I loved Verde beach was you working around the limitations of Vanilla. Being placed in a box should be treated as a challenge not a handicap. 💕❤️❣️🎈

[@CityPlannerPlays]

I actually really like Sub buildings, but don't love that they're snapping on the side. So many of these assets could be used to make cool campuses if that gets fixed. I DO like that for extensions, it makes it easy to retrofit these into built up areas. And I agree - constraints lead to creativity and are a good thing imo. It's one of the reason I've really been enjoying Segunda Beach tbh! Good to see you, btw, Comrade!

[@dillongeary7847]

I love both the packs here, its great getting such variety in both assets and service buildings, but i cant help but feel that the assets in the Modern Architecture ccp feel old compared to the other assets we have in cs2. one of the greatest improvement cs2 had over cs1 was the quality and detail in assets, even if there wasnt many, and the MA pack feels like a step back to me. Still gonna use both in my builds tho!

[@TheShortStory]

Looks like we're getting closer to a release of the asset creation tool. That's what CS2 desperately needs at this point.

Increased costs across the board, unfortunately. Not surprising - base game is more and if I'm not mistaken, Bridges and Ports is $20.

[@NoobPlaysSkylines]

Sub buildings are awesome. Creating unique campuses that feel different is always going to be better than an in footprint expansion.

[@TheStarchamber]

I like how they mesh together, hence the blank sides, but I'd like some more standalone buildings. Almost all developments where I live are standalone without shared walls. Also, we really need a mod that lists all the asset sizes - I'm going to need a spreadsheet at this rate to see what will or won't spawn!

[@s-upper]

i believe we should get more liberate amount of range of placing sub-buildings. because "in theory" we should be able to place them over roads or somewhere remotely close, but in reality, in vanilla, you barely could detach 2 tiles away before it doesnt allow you placing it

[@clockworkangel6780]

That’s definitely good progress after a year, but I would want more transport hubs options like stations where several metro and rail lines can come together and more variety in rolling stock

[@marcrubin9359]

I do feel like I need to add this because large buildings get a lot of hate here, but some of the large vanilla assets are very reasonable. The vanila hospital for example, looks like many hospitals that I have seen, both in suburban NJ and Pennsylvania. Sure I'd prefer it to be a modern glass or older brick, but the size and shape is spot on. Even looking at the main hospital in Maddison, it looks quite large.

They're really good assets I think, but for $8 (and not supporting steam family share (some CS2 dlc does, and some doesn't)), and in the UK being 10% more expensive I can't see these being worth it. Maybe bundled in with other DLC and on sale they could be worth grabbing, but they seem pretty small for their price.

Got this as part of the ultimate bundle, and along with all the free stuff we've been getting, it is really fleshing out the content nicely. Regarding the price as stand alone DLC, I think the price for both = three or four cofees is pretty good. Long after the coffee is a distant memory, you'll still be using these assets :) I'm hoping for two things with the Japanese and US assets: More business buildings, and please for the love of god, give is some two story commercials (not mixed). I have been trying today to build a small 'city', and the assets go from single to 4 floors with little to nothing inbetween. Though I love the French and German packs, they are, for my current build, just too tall, although the aesthetic works well. Asset creator is much needed, as we really do need more *tiny* assets - some small stores and homes. The UK pack had to do row homes in blocks of three or four to get them looking right; i.e. the front of a typical row homes in the UK is only 5 to 6m (and I know as I have lived in a couple). The last one I lived in was about 12ft wide, and about 20ft deep+yard. Also a use for more diverse 1u wide assets would be as 'space fillers', so we can space out our regular buildings in a more realistic and organic way. Great vid CPP. One quick question ... I saw a vid of yours the other day where you used anarchy to remove some sub elements (tables, hedges, signs etc.). Then you moved the asset without it reverting to standard. When I touch an asset or adjust a nearby road all the sub elements re-spawn. How did you manage to 'lock' these out? Thanks!

Better bulldozer. Then click on the leftmost button and remove subelements. You can’t remove one at a time (won’t stick) but the other two options work. Good luck!

Companies already concluded that the average consumer is an idiot. Keep buying those DLC's

[@DefiniteHD]

Unless the DLC is actually worth buying but most of the time it's not.

The second pack is what additional content should be, balanced and adds extra variety to the base game. I will be getting it. Thanks for showing me the differences and allowing me to choose.

Glad this was helpful!

With respect to all the service buildings we now have (most of them better than the vanilla game), I was curious about what you said with respect to using certain assets instead of the vanilla ones. Especially since you tend to tell a story with your cities and allow for natural growth and changes (mulligans aside), would you start off with a non-urban school/fire station/etc and then change to one of these when you urbanize? Or fudge things and start off with one of the urban ones?

I want an Art Deco pack so much, I'd love to have a 1920's looking downtown.

17:40 you know what else is massive? that low taper fade meme

That Bus hub reminds me more of the buildings here around Ann Arbor, except the big one I pass by on my way to work is much shorter and longer. I would really like more buildings of that style though.
