Starting my very first Series in Cities Skylines 2 | Speedbuild + No Commentary

For the first 8 minutes it seemed to me that the new game with a more realistic color scheme was somehow dark and lacking contrast. But then the weather in imperatur's city changed and from a cloudy day the day became sunny)

[@MoveTheMouse]

Not giving creators control over weather is a big miss.

[@solly2420]

The dreary grey is the most off putting part for me. I get that some people want a really realistic city and I definitely don’t want pink octopus but I really enjoy the pops of Colour that cities 1 provides.

The King of Vanilla Builds strikes again! You are coming out of the gate strong, my friend. Forts, vineyards, ports, marinas, all things I'd love to try making in my first vanilla city but wouldn't have thought possible! Really appreciate you showing off these techniques so early!

thanks bro!

[@franciscofelici8163]

I think your full potential is now unleashed. You were just too good for CS1. This is amazing, the realism, the way you mastered the new mechanics so fast, the way you plan every sector of the map. You have to make a tutorial of that, by the way

[@GKFF9872]

I’ve randomly been watching videos about star fortresses lately and now to see you recreate one in CS2 had me flabbergasted.

[@imperatur]

that´s crazy😂

[@bricks_and_cities]

Wow, this was some beautiful work from Imperatur. The precision and ingenious thinking in this city is really what makes it so good.

[@imperatur]

Thank you very much buddy x3

[@solly2420]

This video just single handedly reignited my hope and excitement for this game, that had been squashed the last few days. Awesome build.

[@frojoe2004]

People are really criticizing that the game doesn't come day one with 8 years worth of post development work and mods ready to use. The performance issues are concerning, but I hope optimization will come with time. But really, it's so frustrating to see people compare the base game of CS2 with CS1 plus all the DLC and popular mods. That's an apples and oranges comparison. It'll take probably a year at least for the game to shake out and find its footing. CS1 came out against Sim City(2013) which was easy competition. CS2 is coming out while CS1 is just beginning to show its age and still has probably a good 3 years of life left in it (it was still receiving DLC less than half a year ago). The game need time to come into its own. But the foundation is there for something amaxing.

[@Nikx-youtube]

@@frojoe2004no mainly people were criticising the performance im pretty sure, which is astonishingly terrible. Still excited tho.

[@imperatur]

Glad you enjoyed it!❤

[@8roomsofelixir]

The star fort build is really good! Strong Goryōkaku vibe here.

[@thewolfpack_j3572]

i immediately thought of Kastellet in Copenhagen

[@spacrid1757]

I think its based on Fort McHenry in Maryland

[@waldo109]

Nothing against your commentary content, but this is by far my favourite way to watch a video come to life. Timelapse + music = perfection.

[@pennywise5095]

The musicstyle though...

[@maddmarmot]

Still the undisputed champion of skylines! People were complaining about the lack of detailing available but you show them how to work with what you got!!

[@Sam-mb9zy]

Bro the star shaped fort build is SO next level. You sir, are a genius and an artist, very inspiring, thanks for sharing and cant wait to get my hands on this game! Keep up the good work m8 cheers

[@imperatur]

thanks mate ❤

[@spacrid1757]

Did you base the fort on Fort Mchenry?@@imperatur

[@darcos7535]

Incredible really. I feel all that time with you playing vanilla pays off here. One of the best examples of building "out of the box" that I have seen in cs2.

[@OettesCities]

Really mate? You're calling me a mad muppet because I planted the vineyard in Last Angeles by hand and now you are doing the same here? You are the mad muppet!! 😅😅😅

[@imperatur]

haha du hättest move it benutzen können ich nicht 😢😂

[@abfruits]

Lots of community members: There just isn't a good way to detail. Imperatur: Hold my beer. Proceeds to build ridiculously great road networks and interchanges, excellent farms, A STAR FORT, port, national monument, and vineyards, all before 5000 pop. Sheesh. So good. One other comment - I think it's really interesting how you threw so many different types of builds in there. It's interesting to see so many different types of things at low population. Most of us don't think that way.

[@MGstaR17]

Wonderful 👍 Looks even more sophisticated. Gonna try the new game soon.

[@nikolasgobeil3716]

Amazing fort-like structure! I instantaneously had Quebec City vibes 🥰 Very excited for the rest of the build!

[@TheBusStop12]

The Star fort build is extremely cool and has inspired me to try and attempt a Suomenlinna like sea fortress build (UNESCO world heritage sea fortress in Helsinki) when I get the game myself

[@henryofskalitz2590]

*Sveaborg

[@Bazsaroozsa]

I find this awesome, but not for the reason you'd think. You managed to work around the lack of so many tools, decorations, detailed without detailing etc... and still managed to come up with a decently looking town. I really hope CO will listen to the complaints and add what's on the top of our wishlists to make this game a worthy successor. The potential is definitely there.

[@mehmett7645]

Imperatur, what do you think about game's optimization will be in the future?

[@gijskramer1702]

it will be better because CO is optimising it for console. thats why they delayed the game for console, the game was not optimised enough. once that update comes through the performance will skyrocket for pc players. i have faith in that!

[@Archman155]

@@gijskramer1702if the game is releasing THIS fucked, i doubt that it will ever have great performance. will probably run like a pig on console too even with more optimisation

[@imperatur]

@@gijskramer1702i hope so!!

[@jofresivilla4466]

What really pisses me off is that they left the road building tool exactly the same and it was one of the most necessary things to change is that it always follows the terrain and never the slope You should have the option to either follow the terrain or make a progressive slope throughout the section you are doing. Progressive slope is something the transport fever 2 tool already allows, I don't understand how CS2 hasn't implemented it yet...

[@ck_mia4540]

Can you please continue with the traditional Cities Skylines I videos as well? Am I alone in thinking that the assets in the new City Skylines are ugly and repetitive? I think you are the most talented city builder on KZbin, and even you can't make their product look good.

[@imperatur]

we will see:)

[@whitesentinix]

Looking forward to your noob/pro/modder series for CSII! This one is fantastic to start with!

[@daveawb]

Now this is the series I have been waiting for. There is no other substitute for an imperatur build.

[@sutannusin100]

While we wait for citie skyline 2 in 24 october let watch this engineer build his city🤩

What i got form the video is that slopes are a PAIN IN THE ASS to manage without move it tools.

[@antonczerwinske5910]

Great video, i'd love to see you incorporate public transit in the next video

[@Caine33]

I find it funny how huge it looks with a lot of infrastructure, and then you see the population is 3,7K and you realize it's barely a village. :D

[@mikeygoad4556]

I’m so mad how much hate people are giving this game besides the lag (which is common on new games it needs testing and feedback that’s how they fix stuff) it’s honestly a great game and they’ve been updating and putting in the things the people want

[@hsbhsbjhasbjhbas]

They need to improve the buildings, they are ugly, CS1 had better buildings, I am kinda disappointed I am not gonna lie.

[@cozyrinn]

I think i should download city skylines 2 since its looking better than city skylines 1.. im also a new player of city skylines..

Have fun:))

[@LikeAGroove]

you are the living proof you don't need mods to play this game and create beautiful things, the people crying about steam workshop should watch this video and learn

[@terrarasa8589]

The process for getting quays right seems really difficult now without a dedicated quay tool. Can see you get frustrated with trying to get the look right around the port

[@Bobbysworld22]

Love these fast builds your the best at them and your detailing is impeccable you don’t skip a beat

[@neoultra76]

I just start to build my city with cities 2 I, however, want to restart new city since I watch this video. hmm. nice work

[@unfms]

does it bother anyone that the roads/buildings dont have any real texture. everything looks like plastic.

[@Bamfviola666]

tbh i feel u are one of the most underrated players of this game, i feel u are damn amazing !

[@christianmcmanus8378]

Some people watch the news in the AM, i watch imperatur play cities skylines. The music just relaxes me. Love your series'. Really looking forward to this

[@Khotetsu]

I see quays continue to be as challenging as ever. I saw somebody the other day (I wish I remembered who so I could give them credit) who made it easier by drawing a road behind where he wanted to put the quay first, then following the road with the landscaping tool to give it an even edge before placing down the actual road he wanted. Looked like it made it work a lot more consistently. Love the build though, especially the star fort. Looks great!

[@kevinbusalla5424]

I wish I could have the same level of your creativity. I am so jealous, I could only build boxes design roads with a little bit of curve and that's it. Like my city has no life and boring. Unlike yours it's alive and satisfying to look at.

[@captainnutsack8151]

I feel you man lol. I struggle to create stuff that is vibrant or even barely realistic looking. Imperatur is an artist

[@WestAirAviation]

i can't believe IGN rated this a 6/10. It's got so many improvements over CS2.

[@strider029]

It does feel a bit downgraded though (in terms of contents) if you have all the DLCs in CS1 and went to CS2 (I feel like CS1 has gotten so big it's become difficult even for Paradox to compete with their own game). - The blurrier textures is a turnoff (probably on-purpose either for optimization or for the art style). - The disasters especially the tornado looks way better in CS1 compared to CS2 - The lack of Steam Workshop support for CS2 is also a bummer - Drawing regions/districts has gotten more complicated than CS1, I feel like brushing is better than drawing the borders yourself - Missing prop designing feature (So much more that I forgot when writing this comment) But CS2 definitely got new QoL improvements that I like, especially the roads, and the assets are more consistent now and not a mashup of science fiction, cartoonish and realistic assets. (This is not me hating the game, but I have heavy criticisms with the game. I'm most likely getting it regardless sooner or later anyway)

[@Archman155]

@@strider029 dont forget the game struggles to run on literally anything. it can bring a 3080 to its knees while still looking mediocre

[@almerindaromeira8352]

I think year from now the game is going to be fun and playable. I mean. No road anarchy, no move it, no detailing mods, no traffic president. Trees look ugly, low res LOD kicki in too soon, map textures for grass, rock etc. are low res 1024x1024 max I would say maybe even less. Huge downgrade from 2K and 4K themes which we had thanks to workshop which we wont have now...

[@John315]

So you decide beforehand where your low desnity area will be, where the center will be, etc, and then you build the whole road network. I used to build randomly, that's why all my cities looked like shit and none of them, really worked. And i built A LOT of them till i got bored, cause i thought this game is unbalanced, since nothing worked.... It just seems you REALLY have to think of the very final look of the city, before you even build a single road. Which sounds impossible to me...
