This is the video I’ve been wanting for all week

[@robbertluiken7780]

I second that😁

[@OVERCHARGEDEGG]

Enjoy!

[@RutgerJan2009]

Same here 😎

[@landofsuchbeauty]

It's Monday morning! 😆

[@TheBlueDragon86]

Same!

[@aaronneitzel6864]

You are so great at filling in those awkwardly shaped parts of a city. And while everything looks so great, you do it in a simple way too. I’ve Been following you since Palaven but this might be my favorite build of yours so far. Well done man. I think the big subscriber growth in your channel recently is a reflection of your efforts here.

[@OVERCHARGEDEGG]

Thank you mate! Very kind of you

[@fewcandy]

Ahh thank you for shouting out Auridon's festival area! ♥Absolutely love what you did with this waterfront, Build Guide is freaking awesome!! Thanks for all the content Egg!

[@OVERCHARGEDEGG]

No worries FewC! Glad you're enjoying it :)

[@victorsantos9884]

This series and CityZilla beginners guide are my favorites, great work

[@Kitch3nW3nch]

Orchid Bay videos are my favourite thing about my week lately. While I do miss how perfect you can get things to sit with all the mods in Illos, the ways you manipulate roads and buildings are so simple but so satisfying. You sir are a legend! Keep up the amazing work and looking forward to the first Orchid Bay stream ❤️😆

[@mcbro5041]

Hey Egg, i think it would really suit the mountain if you place trees at the bottom of it and progressivly smaller vegetatation as you go up. It helps to get a better feeling of the height of the Mountain.

[@TP-pi2ge]

Stunning! I just started a new city and I am using your technique of a slower build and more detailing, and I must say, I am enjoying playing Cities so much more. I keep looking at my city from different angles as you suggest and it's amazing!

[@OVERCHARGEDEGG]

Ah glad to hear! Very fun isn't it!

[@duszhduszh]

I love your style. Each addition feels smooth and fits in easy. You clearly know what you're doing and not only is great to follow this series, there's a ton of inspiration for my build. So thank you as always OE.

[@lpjdrummer12295]

I absolutely love this Egg. Not finished yet, but you might wanna check that underground metro station. It going under the river might be an issue, it might not have enough clearance to slope far enough down to get under the water. I can already see where the downtown is gonna set, and I'm so excited for what you do next!

[@OVERCHARGEDEGG]

Drew it in todays recording, all good! :)

[@MrMadmark7]

As usual. You amaze me with this city. It's an amazing city to behold with the sites, and flow. Not all one place looks alike. You can see the different areas, yet they blend together almost perfectly. I'll be eagerly waiting for the next video. Yet please take all the time you need. It will always be worth the wait!

[@the_titan_atlas]

25:19 - wait, is that...? 25:27 - yup, unauthorised building spotted... 25:46 - umm, unauthorised building SPOTTED 26:25 - UNAUTHORISED BUILDING SPOTTED 27:07 - *flips table* 27:15 - Oh thank goodness, it's gone! Otherwise...solid episode! Love the waterfront towers and bustling plaza vibes you've got going on!

[@gazzamuso]

That road they're all parking on outside the car ports, could it be one of those wide sidewalk roads instead to force them in there?

[@nanfredman1991]

Fewcandy's festival area was one of the first of her vids I watched, and it blew my mind! Now you put a public stage in the middle of a this plaza space--perfect! And I love that the cougar is there waiting for you to put in the wine bar. ;) And the transition is rather magnificent, in a practical way.

[@joenuts5167]

You should put separate bike paths between the tram and roads leading to the toll booths. It’s such an under utilized space and would fit perfectly! Love your videos!

[@Koiworks84]

This is my therapy... I haven't played the game in years but this is the closest to meditation as I will get! Thank you!

[@jessebooth6752]

What a tune for the detailing! I'd love to see an aerial shot of the city at the end of the episodes to show the before and after as it grows. Super satisfying 😌

[@nicolemarietoma]

Ah, what a gorgeous build Egg. I’m loving this city so much and I def need to update my console so I can continue building alongside you beyond the 9 vanilla tiles ❤

[@brickscities3367]

I absolutely love the new pops in height with the gorgeous plazas in between. Such a great build.

[@jamesanderson3295]

Another excellent build! Really like how you fill out each space and treat it as it's own separate build but also link it so well with the rest of the city. Looking forward to the downtown build which probably won't be for a while! Wondering if you'll have a 'ring road' around the island to map out the downtown :)

[@OVERCHARGEDEGG]

Thanks bro! I've been playing with a kind of bus ring using the new highspeed roads, but I think certainly some kind of circular traffic relief will happen somewhere :)

[@arghyaroychowdhury7089]

@@OVERCHARGEDEGG hfuhfjfv

[@jamesanderson3295]

@@OVERCHARGEDEGG sounds like a great idea! I really enjoyed the overground metro loop you made in Palaven so a high speed bus loop would be pretty cool. I'm sure we can expect something new and exciting!

[@JamessAviation]

I’m always happy to see a new orchid bay video, and this one was perfect. I love this city so much. Thanks egg!

[@matthiasrauscher8104]

Every time I think to myself: no, that's not going to work, dude. But then I always see a smile on my face and think: wow! It's so much fun to watch you and follow your thoughts, which "always" work out :)

[@lilfrisk613]

Those switch-back roads look so great! You turned an awkward space into something beautiful

[@dwr1001]

Whenever I watch this series I realise how unrealistic my cities have been. Thanks for bringing realism in skylines to my attention. Keep up the great work!

[@Clayfacer]

I gotta be honest I used to only watch your modded series Ilos and Thesia and usually skipped the vanilla stuff but watching the first few episodes of your newest vanilla series it really got me interested in the vanilla vibe so now here I am binge watching this series while I wait for new episodes of the new series to come out lmao. but these builds are insane! cant believe I skipped these.

[@OVERCHARGEDEGG]

Haha thanks, glad we can sell you on Vanilla 😌

[@jzeltman]

Great build. I really like the park info booth in the middle of the subway station

[@michelpratini712]

Wonderful! With each episode, the city becomes more and more incredible. Very inspiring.

[@ClareFlack]

Loving how this turned out. And agree about the difference layers. Makes such a difference when done right.

[@landofsuchbeauty]

Hmmm...strange that the game labelled it the Statue of Wealth. It's actually a memorial to Bunny La Roux, the late husband and long-time bandmate of Lily La Roux, the multi-platinum international pop music phenomenon who returns regularly to perform at the Festival Area in her hometown of Orchid Bay. Bunny La Roux passed away unexpectedly in a bizarre detailing accident when a prop line of small rocks buried him alive as he was penning lyrics to a new song in a local meadow.

[@catka304]

I have been so excited to see this transition to high density! Wonderful video as always, Eggy! The riverfront reminds me so much of downtown Jacksonville ❤ Also, I believe the deer ate the cougar and then the wolf ate the deer. The cirrrrrcle of liiiiife.

[@jcosunshine]

Fabulous epiosde! One of the coolest things I've ever seen you do was the very simple act of removing that piece of road and dropping in the info booth at the metro station. Honestly! SOOO cool! Little things like that really bring vanilla assets to life and make the areas come alive with bustling cims raging about having to pay a congestion fee. Maybe some healthcare in that area so they can seek therapy to get that rage under control? 😝 As always, loved it all, love seeing the city take shape, and looking forward to where the city is going. Maybe a baseball stadium across the river there? Just an idea 😉❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@BakedZiTi77]

Awesome video as always egg! I love the abundance of the pedestrian paths flowing all around. Can't wait till they get uber busy and seeing all the walking porn that's coming! I'm also really interested to see how busy all the ways into the eventually downtown will turn out, so many different routes to cross that little river. Can't wait for the next one dude! Also livestream?!?!?!

[@idiealot3203]

Perfection as per usual. I love how everything ties together so seamlessly.

[@wjaitch]

Spoiled us a couple weeks with two episodes and I can't get enough! More Build Guide 2!! So pumped for the rest of the series. Keep up the great work!

[@abfruits]

Great build. Noob2 is such good timing for me! Really love seeing how you go about developing areas, what's next, etc!

[@pgmetcalf]

Looks great. I generally transition my low residential to mid rise with a large park. If it's a very large park drawn in and I'm feeling particularly brutalist, I'll smash a flyover right through the middle of it so traffic doesn't go on a major detour. I'll also put small industrial and office parks in the midrise skirt and quite a lot of proms and paths etc

[@OfficialVibeTracks]

these cities is my perfect for coastal with mythical views! 😊👍

[@gooseum]

this was great!!!! been waiting all week, could sit down and watch this for hours. it's lovely how much you care and how excited you are about things in the game, it makes it sooo much more enjoyable as a viewer. thank you for the video egg!!!

[@axeldorman262]

I might be a little late but the new pedestrian area next to the bridges are giving me major new jersey into nyc vibes thru the George Washington Bridge. The tall buildings that stick out among the rest of the landscape being visible right next to the bridge is amazing

[@RAI-1911]

The deers chased the cougars out XD Thanks for the entertainment as always mate :)

[@timrogers5696]

Loving your Narratives, The story adds to the overall amazing build.

[@E6GSY]

Very cute build. I think the winding road down to the area should be a pedestrian path too. People walking down to see that statue walking in the middle would be a great view

[@ponaboy]

almost instantaneous pedestrian traffic into the riverwalk. looks good with the live venue, right on the water. cannae wait to see all of these networks roll into the hi-rise downtown!!

[@LazarusDangerfield]

Great build & great inspiration as always. 😊I'm so stoked that as a console player, I'll finally have 25 tiles to do the vision for my own cities justice!

[@christrites4251]

When the Brooklyn and Queens DLC is released I'd like to see you do a large urban grid style city based on say New York, Philly, Chicago, or maybe Boston with it's old-world meandering street style would suite you better? Enjoy the videos, keep it up, great content. Also, I really hope they add medium density housing and commercial in the new game (Cities 2) fingers crossed.

[@j.j.r.6075]

I noticed a change in the style of your builds, from Palaven. There is so much more planning in terms of skyline and infrastucutre, but builds feel less modular. Or at least, there's a lot of transitional space to make the city feel alive and well used. It's also more daring... putting that Torre Condo tower outside the downtown and into midrise feel... braver than before. It might not have fitted into the early skyline, but it certainly does. Love it! 🗼🏢🌄

[@ernestoone5872]

frankly you are the best joke apart from I have been following you for a short time, you are building your city with professionalism, love, congratulations

[@samenshahriar6249]

I AM LOVING IT!!! Awesome build man! Mix some bushes with those stone wall or breakwater so that they look more organic. Also don't forget to upgrade that concert area to 4 star ! Higher capacity will create generate more densely walking sims. I integrated your tram design in my city. Can't wait to integrate overground and underground mono-metro and train! 😍😍😍😍😍😍

[@Oktopia]

I have a hard time with slopes, but that transitional switchback is a golden tip. Thanks!

[@Dude_its_Lyz]

Another very insightful and thoughtful video. No surprise there, Egg.

[@4rkang31]

I'm in need of some help with this. Looking forward to the new ep!

[@christinah4018]

That shot of the cougar stalking the festival area cracked me up 😂😂

[@esterlingo9664]

Great build Egg! Loving the direction you're taking with Orchid Bay.

[@ndl1324]

Ughhhh this vid has me so excited! I'm about to transition to some heights into downtown in my city.

[@Black_Shaheen]

Finally a new video!I've been waiting every day for this. I hope you had more time to make them more frequent!! We can't get enough Egg city building😀😀😀 Have a nice week mate!

[@dragona-jf7mh]

You might want to make a path from the bike highway down to the quay area. Allow the cyclists to enter the area. Nice build.

[@DavyOordijk]

Hey Egg, loving the content as usual. I have a friendly suggestion, I think if you flip the metro station 180° you can keep the center path in front of the festival area going straight. Which would look better in my opinion in such a high value commercial area. :)

[@DavyOordijk]

Never mind, you placed the info booth, but still it might work even with the walking path?

[@ben0329]

I must admit I made an audible gasp when you placed the concert stage but it does actually work really nicely and has the added bonus of drawing a lot of cims in. Can’t wait to see how busy the plaza gets once the metro is hooked in

[@artistfkaW]

You might find it inspirational to look at the Haddad Riverfront Park in Charleston WV. Similar vibes to the quay and festival area you have here

[@DashboardCookies]

good gods that festival plaza is crazy awesome looking!

[@PuiDeZmeuYT]

I missed 6 episodes and this city grew so much! Gotta watch them all, now

[@mr.unknown5420]

Chill time 😍

[@MattJamesK]

There's some great content creator european and north american pedestrian bridges that may be a nice option for that bike bridge (bikes can still use it but will take pedestrians off the one ways as well).

[@ohska5905]

truly can't wait for the rest of downtown to start building up. once again, just another great vid

[@OVERCHARGEDEGG]

Thank you for watching! It should be fun!

[@StarStuff.]

Awesome build, sort of reminds me of the city centre of my hometown. We need more conversations with Editing Egg and other alter egos 😁

[@storytellerdavis]

Gorgeous build. Loved it. Always appreciate the ways you use the park assets. That and your use of metro. I always afterthought plop down the little metro station. Need to work on being more thoughtful.

[@alexnotlando]

the metro heading past the festival area reminds me of manchester, at the castlefield bowl

So enjoy this build egg , even better than noobs guide 😊

[@OVERCHARGEDEGG]

Thanks Martin!

[@siebejochems112]

Yes I've been looking forward to this video for a whole week. The new plaza looks great. Only thing i question is the 'welcome to Orchid Bay' sign, it makes sense because it's where you might be looking but its on wrong side of the road imo. Still looks great tho.

[@partosbendeguz9841]

Egg, I like how you sorted out the farm district! I'd love to see a district near the shore that attracts tourists with cinemas or fishing piers. Enjoying your videos man, keep up the good work! You inspire me everyday regarding my cities!

[@ThePankcho]

Love your content Egg! to make te AI to use the parking slots in vanilla you can upgrade the road to grass road or anyone that prevents park on the street

[@bombidil3]

My only gripe with making all your low density retail historical at level 1 is that you miss out on the absolutely gorgeous 4x4 red brick almost victorian looking building. It's fantastic for representing "old but still nice" areas of town that have a sense of having been bustling urban areas for quite some time already.

[@shaymazor89]

I would put the festival area right at the edge of the "forested park" and remove the forest, this will create the perfect place for live outdoor concerts thanks to the slope

[@bazzakrak]

And another good video from the knight of the calcium shell. Not sure if it is possible, but if there is ore in the mountain, I would like to see how you would wrestle with putting mines on mountain sides for a quarry with the difference in typography heights.

[@IsaiahWells]

Good point! Amazing work! $17 million is a lot of money! All is good!👍

[@rAndy_883]

Hi! I love this serie! It’s truly well planned and realistic, with a minimum of mods that make it really enjoyable. By the way, what about to add cable cars to cross the river? 37:42 I’d like to see a full stage 😁, maybe not here, maybe somewhere else but I’d like to see it

[@thomas_bergkvist]

Looks great, Egg 😍😎

[@apaku]

Loving the plaza, reminds me a lot of Hamburg's Jungfernstieg with the quay, some walkable space and european city-center buildings as backdrop. From the cinematics it seems like there's some generic residential zoning in the small area between the office park and the cylce roads (above the plaza), I wonder if that would fit better as either MCM or maybe even green cities as that's what is dominant in this part of town? Looking forward to first stream of Orchid Bay, curious what you're doing with those empty areas.

[@ruidy100]

Another awesome episode just love your builds Egg.

[@mpcamposz]

"Tohe Condje Jardeem" is hou you'd pronounce it in portuguese kkkkkkkkk. Amazing episode as always

[@astutheit]

If you want to force the use of those car-parks switch the plain road to one of the 2 lane with a median; trees, grass or just the concrete on, and they will be forced into the car-parks.

[@AFP7]

do a cycle bridge from the downtown to the old city

[@CharmTh3Boss23]

I think you should check out the highline in NYC. it's a pedestrian walk way that weaves in between office and commercial buildings. As a new yorker that is definitely one of the most beautiful walks you can take it the city.

[@OVERCHARGEDEGG]

I will do, thank you!

[@OVERCHARGEDEGG]

I just checked this out, very cool idea! We'll definitely do something like this :)

The Korean CCP is great for medium-density residential buildings, as long as you zone 3x3 or bigger.

[@Eisofice]

I have a really bad habit, as someone who has worked in gardens, of always arranging the garden sections with plants I know would grow well together in real life, one would think that it would be the opportunity to build a literal fantasy garden but you really can't stop your brain sometimes

[@jaguartherascal]

i imagine that one guy doesnt get the memo about the one way roads and always goes down them only to realize it doesnt go anywhere and theyre just stuck there until the road expands
