Series Finale - Cities Skylines: Nydal - EP 51

[@PresCities]

Nydal is genuinely the most complete and well-put-together European city I've ever seen made in this game. Well done!

[@qzg7857]

I highly recomend altengrad then

[@fuzlet2276]

@@qzg7857 Personally, I don't like Altengrad, beacuse it is in the 1930s, but it is just my preference.

[@Stegar]

@@qzg7857 Akruas hasn't been uploading much lately, but I guess if you haven't watched it the there are still like 20 episodes to binge

[@kingofmashedpotatoes]

Have you tried Brunswald?

[@HierophanticRose]

Its crazy to think that an entire generation of Cities Skylines content creators like Flux, Yuttho, and Strict left for a whole new generation to come, and how each of them have very very different approaches.

[@colebrock4695]

Strictoaster is the G.O.A.T he was the first city detailer we watched and the best to ever do it. We love and miss you!

[@akshatsahay9015]

Man I've been watching Nydal for a while, almost a year. Feels bad to see it go but I'm excited to see what's next!

[@Victor-cu5uj]

Damn, time flies. It feels like it was a few months ago this series began and FBS, Arrowhead Junction, Seenu and Cedar Valley all feel so recent. Thank you for this and all your other amazing Cities series Strict!

[@itsenzo2004]

Victor Wallgren miss seenu so much lol

[@brownbearstrategy6917]

I hate when I realize how long many years ago Arrowhead Junction was and how fast time flies

[@TheScania1991]

Genuenly still hoping that Strictoaster and also Flux will make a surprise comeback für Cities Skylines 2, not gonna lie

[@adhiwicaksono6149]

Here on my yearly pilgrimage to this great channel

[@nikolaspushkin7325]

The legend, i grew up with this guy. Trully miss your work ❤

[@dcmayo]

Strict, I hope you still check your notifications on here from time to time. I saw the Cities Skylines 2 trailer and immediately thought about Nydal. Hope you're thriving out there, man.

[@rienksjoerdsma]

Don't put yourself down man, we love hearing you talk. I am excited to see where you take this channel.

[@ZestyMountain]

Fr, strictoaster is easily in the top 20 percent of youtube commentators

[@fury.461]

Well...

[@rienksjoerdsma]

@@fury.461 :(

[@ritchieollie]

Hearing that outro music for the last time hit me right in the feels. Congratulations man. Someone else said it too, but you were the first cities detailer I watched. It's been amazing to follow you as a creator and to watch you work. You eye for detail is amazing. You have such a high standard for this channel and you can see it in all of your graphics and how everything is presented. It's all beautiful and it's all you. Well done man, another wonderful City to add to your remarkable body of work.

[@silchuki1457]

Well, you were one of the first "detailers" I watched when I got into Cities. Thanks for all this content and hope to see you back at some point. Take it easy! :)

[@aturchomicz821]

it all started with Seenu...

[@Serentropic]

Awe, Strict

[@arquitectomegalul]

I've been watching this series in a row in two weeks. Oh man i've loved all your videos and I'll miss nydal because it became my routine while I had breakfast

[@gijskramer1702]

Feels so weird seeing this series stop. Watched since day one release of Nydal. That was almosy 3 years ago. Time flies.....

[@DesignCandy]

51 Episodes strong! Great job as always. Thanks for the amazing time you put into this!

[@theoriginalbuggins]

Thank you. It's a weird thing, especially during social isolation. Spending this much time listening to you, you feel like someone I know better than some actual friends! These are strange times we live in. So thank you, all the time you put into this is much appreciated. You set the standard for me when I first started playing CS, and look how the game has blossomed, and the astonishing work people do now. (Mars, anyone?) It kinda feels like you got that all started. Well done. Good luck, and I'll be following your work, I've a feeling you're good at whatever you turn your hand to.

[@antonwulp]

I've stopped playing CS for a while. I do still subscribe to a lot of assets/mods, but last time I also removed a lot. The game still needs so much time to load and it's not fun without decent assets. Also noticed that I'm only watching your series, sort of stopped all the others. To be honest I feel the game needs a part 2. The graphics in the base game are just too outdated.

[@Rahulram-fe4qy]

Yes. Valid point

[@antonin701]

100% agreed. I kind of stopped playing too for the same reasons : performance (in game and loading time) and graphics (the game looks like crap without a huge amount of assets/mod/Map themes/LUT/good maps). The game is rumored to receive a sequel next year. I hope it is true. And I hope that if it is, Strictoaster will play it and create wonderful cities again.

[@IngoGarza]

I've recently upgraded my pc and went from 15 min load time to 40 seconds. Game changer. But I am also hoping for a cities 2.0

[@danielpavlik7242]

It also needs to be optimised.

[@antonwulp]

@@IngoGarza I've got a high spec PC build 2 years ago. And a new map with hardly any mods goes quickly. But not when you have a lot of mods (that you basicly need to really enjoy the game).

[@westezosmashups1385]

Nydal was one of the best CS series in the world. This series will be remembered.

[@uthris]

An amazing series and an amazing build! Feel proud over this my friend - 10/10

[@debloated9589]

Hope ur doing good strict, I just keep coming to these gameplays cuz they're so relaxing to see and hear. Un abrazo 🥰

[@elijah19820130]

This series is one of the reasons I really got into the detailing and modding side of this game. What a great ride it was, from start to the finish.

[@Languste]

What a journey that was! It was an insane series, starting with how much detail you put into everything, the cinematics, the music, all of this was perfectly on point. A great project!

[@papagrge2260]

love you strict. been watching you since the first episode of seenu i was 12 now i’m 15 crazy how time flies. you’ve always been an inspiration of how hard work truly pays off. good to see where your channels at now. much love. would love to see you continue but if you’re feeling burnt out just do whatever makes you happy. that should always be the number 1 focus

[@unfabulouslyfabulous]

thank you for your dedication to bringing this city to life! i've been following nydal's progress since the beginning, the livestreams have brought me company when i was studying and the episodes were a time of relaxation to look forward to. you've put together a wonderful city and your hard work has not gone unnoticed. thank you!!!

[@bertrandfitzpatrick4307]

I've only recently started looking at some of the detailers in CS and you've been one of my favorites. Thank you for all of the awesome ideas and content and hopefully you continue to find joy in all of the things that come next for you! If and/or when you come back to CS, I'm sure you'll have a ton of people to welcome you back! Good luck!

[@BossMan-yu1og]

I commend you sir! Your dedication to this game, more over your content, is extraordinary. I can't believe you started this city 2 years ago. I can't even seem to remain committed enough to keep my cities running after a month! Bravo.

[@rtzzzzzz]

You're amazing dude! Respect!

[@marvinmycat5839]

This is the first Cities: Skylines series that I'd seen and subscribed to. This is the series that really blew my mind on what the modded game can do and how beautiful and realistic the simulation can be. I was then and remain very impressed of how the game and the creator have artistically crafted a detailed, nuanced and functioning city. I have watched and will watch all the other and upcoming series of this game by Strictoaster. Keep up the great work!

[@adhiwicaksono6149]

I have once again made my pilgrimage, may the toast remain warm in your heart

[@hampusruneson2023]

Thank you so much for this awesome series! I remember watching all your episodes with great passion, I even watched one when i was at hospital. Thank you so much for all inspiration and relaxation you have given me! Keep up the good work!

[@redswanmusic3627]

This is the first cities:skylines series I've binged all the way through, and I've loved every minute of it. Thank you so much.

[@MrLeodu72]

Strict, I watch your videos since the simscity days and I'm so happy you went that far. Your builds are really good and your comments are funny and relaxing. Thanks for everything!

[@ricardomendez7293]

Awesome series! I loved it. Would it be possible to make one episode in which you showcase every area of the city and another one where you show the city in a cool cinematic from above? I think that would give a proper closure to this amazing series!

[@visekual6248]

This was the first series of city skylines that i watched, simply because you were the first youtuber that i found that would offer a good ratio between time, progress, a pleasant narration and coincidentally had just started. And taking advantage of this comment, it is not possible to remove assets you don't like, such as cars, from the game files

[@JAQREL]

in a way, I'm glad this series ended because every time I watch a Nydal video Strictoaster will do a detailing thing that is subtle but genius and I would be like, why didn't I think of that, and then I'd have to make a note of it, and there's so many of those notes that I've made that I can't even remember or have never gotten around to doing, so that's it, that's the only reason I'm glad this ended, there are so many reasons that I'm not glad this series ended so real talk tho I didn't mean it when I said in a way, I'm glad this series ended

[@quadrocaterpus7865]

The amount of dedication and work put in over the past few years has been amazing, staying with a project for this long that is mainly for enjoyment is inspiring and you managed to make a beautiful city while doing that

[@morg1396]

We miss you strict! Would love to see a return for Cities Skylines 2

[@sideblocks9446]

NOOOOO I WANTED TO SEE THE NYDAL AIRPORT 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 Or at least a heliport

[@TheRSAngle]

Download and make it

[@duszhduszh]

I have recently started to binge watch the series to pass some time and I have to say I am really impressed with the outcome of the city. The attention to the tail is really amazing and I applaud you for your effort and keeping up the good work throughout the whole series. Thank you and take care!

[@jfhjish]

Awww man ... Came back to Cities just to find out you've checked out. I feel like this happened to me right around the end of Simcity 5 too. Let's hope this means the next great city-builder is right around the corner then. See ya then, when it happens! Enjoy life.

[@quattromeister020]

Going to miss Nydal, it was my favorite city skylines series ever. It- Was- Beautiful. Thank you Strictoaster!

[@albertguedj731]

first of all thanks for all the work you do for your youtube channel it's really one of the most enjoyable to watch city building/ management games. i'm really sad it's the end of nydal because it was such a good serie i hope that you will not abandon Cities Skylines completely if you still enjoy building because it really is incredible to watch you build and i must admit that the commentary is one of the reason why. I get that this is demanding a lot of work and i'm really grateful of it. I am disapointed because of the quality of your work is difficult to find elsewhere and not because you are stopping, you're bond to nothing and i hope that you don't feel pressured by my message it really isn't the intent i just wanted to share my thoughts and thank you. P.S really sorry for my terrible english

[@CaladorPTN]

Thank you so much for this amazing series! I've thoroughly enjoyed the experience and I've loved every episode of Nydal! P.S. Love my house in Nydal and it's location overlooking the canal!

[@ButzPunk]

Thanks for sharing the creation of Nydal with us!

[@izaiasjunior1588]

It is the best and most beautiful city that I have ever seen in this game so far!

[@jojonnyjones]

Hope to hear you soon, Strict :)

[@VonRye]

Thank you for all of your Cities builds. My PC can barely run this game, so I just watch people like you who build amazing cities and enjoy it vicariously through you.

[@ryanswai4861]

Hope you'll come back to cities with a new series

[@meher_pratap]

I've been watching this channel ever since Design centric Sim City started and man has it been a great journey. I used to play Sim City and then migrated to Cities Skylines.. spent almost a year playing around with mods, experimenting on Cedar Valley and Arrowhead Jn. It was great, the obsession to detail is awesome and I hope it inspires a lot of budding town/city planners in the future.

[@jimhanson]

I loved watching this, and seeing each episode as it came out, month after month. As the city evolved, I was struck by how often your eye and mind made the perfect design choice to make the whole an accurate and enjoyable portrayal of the European city it was meant to be. Thank you!

[@PSNghiadriver]

It's been a pleasure to follow along Strictoaster. Amazing build as always. The "unrefined" commentary has always been something I enjoyed. It actually keeps me more engaged. Good luck with everything else you've got going on. I hope it works out for the best for you!

[@tigershadow5615]

This series is absolutely one of my favorites. Thank you so much for your work on it. Its been a pleasure watching

[@kingofmashedpotatoes]

Hey the last 5(?) days of binging this series have been great. Seeing Nydal grow from nothing to this amazing city has been great! Hope you can work on more cities you love and don't face all the problems you did during Nydal. Will miss Nydal though and I'm excited to check out more of your work! :D

[@blujitsu2180]

Thank you for committing to this series. I had no idea how you even did it for so long until I looked at the results- it’s just such a beautiful city. Don’t be so hard on yourself over the little details, though. Now, an obligatory “I want to live in Nydal”.

[@tobydissel]

Been subscribed since the early SimCity days, and probably have watched nearly all your vids :) Thank you for yet another awesome series Strict, this one was massive! You are probably right to take a step back from CS for a while after all this stuff. Thanks for all the content and hopefully more to come!

[@БутерБрод-ы8ш]

You should detail the mountains a bit, and add rural supporting roads as well

[@7ern]

You did an amazing job with this series man

[@frgworks8889]

Strictoaster is not only an amazing builder, but also a great tutor - look at his tutorials on mods, making videos, overcoming terrain differences etc!

[@Jamaha5]

I mean I guess I knew I’d been watching this series a long time, but realising that two long years together have come to a close... It’s a lot. Long live Nydal

[@mooniemoon12]

i remember watching the first episode and i knew this would be great! time really flies, it doesn't feel like it's been that long :")

[@gaberamatube]

Thanks for a great series. This series got me into watching cities skylines videos and even buying the game myself. Take care and thanks for your hard work

[@jeffreyjumisko5165]

Strictoaster, Nydal is awesome. I’ll miss seeing it develop. I hope you will enjoy your break from Cities: Skylines. I hope you will come back to it, once you have some new inspiration. Whatever it is, I’ll be ready to watch. A complete pleasure. I think you are quite good at the narration, by the way.

[@waltercunningham4892]

this has been such a great series- i loved seeing it develop over such a long period. good luck to you in your future projects!... lol that lady dgaf

[@NickDoddTV]

You read my mind with your opening! I have seen Nydal since Episode 1! Amazing work my friend. Absolutely amazing. I did a couple of Cities Skylines videos and partially because I was quite inspired by your city building!

[@dandyooo]

"Hopefully, I see you in the next one" I just want you to know that I admire everything you've done in Cities Skylines. From Seenu, FBS, Miracle Mile until Nydal. It's kinda hard that you're going to a hiatus state but I respect that. You really did a great job. I'll probably miss your videos. 😭

[@dan_draft]

I just rewatch the series except the live streams. Man, time really flies. I used to watch this series, Marble Mountain and Sedona after long day at work or even during at work in the office. Haha good times. 👍🍷

[@antonin701]

It was definitely the best CSL project I've watched so far. I hope that CSL2 indeed releases next year (only rumors for now). And if it does, I hope you'll like it and show us your beautiful creations !

[@mrmaison4924]

I enjoyed watching you create Nydal. Thanks for sharing your talent.

[@thiemofischer2230]

... and what a series it was :) . Congratulations man! Glad you listen to yourself so well, that you know when it's time for new beginnings.

[@ldaragao6811]

Thsi series was actually the reason i started to play CS. Yeah, i was too late for this game. Congrats man, loved every episode and hopefully you will find motivation for another project after your break.

[@morsmorde1]

Started watching in first episode and although I haven't seen some of live streams and real time content, I can confidently say this was the best Cities: Skylines series that I have watched. It was so detailed and beautiful to watch. Not to mention taught me a lot of new things with the assets and mods I had. Thank you very much for this series Strict, it's been a blast. I hope you can start a new one whenever you are ready. Also you are great at commentating, it's meandering a bit but it's fun

[@Acrolvm]

Thank your for putting in so much effort. I've been watching this series since you started and it has been a great way to relax. I hope whatever you move onto now makes you happy!

[@diecicatorce6259]

I started watching you in the middle of Cedar Valley, all the way through Interama, Seenu, Arrowhead, Miracle Mile, FBS and now Nydal. Excited to see what's next after the detox!

[@alexanderpbyron]

I always got excited seeing a new episode of your series popping up on my recommended! Thank you for the amazingly detailed build, and [despite what you say] the matching quality commentary! Look forward to seeing where your imagination goes next 👏🏼

[@vatima2]

That was amazing. Really an amazing project. Thank you

[@claytonhauck]

Thanks for all the time and energy you put into this series!! Was fun to see it come alive. Take care IRL!!!

[@RJHSVideos]

It’s beautiful! I know you said this was the last one, but I’d love a bit of a montage tour or some kind of first person experience so we can feel it from the ground!

[@WilliamsBQH]

I'm so glad you've given Nydal a wonderful send off at a time that made sense for you. It's been a great ride Strict! Best of luck with all of you non-Cities Skylines adventures!

[@Rudy-ec1er]

Fantastic series. A little sad to see it end but its essentially done. You did a great job. Can’t wait to see what’s next. Really hoping for a midwestern build.

[@denisduchesne2899]

[@switch_lp1302]

Wow, Nydal it was exciting time with you

[@martendschrage]

Can't believe it's been that long. Going to miss that theme song and the series. Catch you when you're back in the game. Always enjoy your videos and details.

[@szymonyson3952]

That was my favorite series for the last 2 years. I was always waiting for new episode. It was some sort of common part of my fast fast changing live. Everything has change, only this was always the same. Great. Always, after hard day, when I saw your episode, I was smiling because I knew, I will have great 20 minutes. Thank you.

[@daniilknigin8713]

Wow, feels kinda sad, but i get what you're saying, it's fine, do your thing, i wish you luck in all of your endeavours! It's been fun!

[@trainswithnickyt]

An awesome episode, I think that you've left the series at the right point, it looks like a complete city. I'm sure that others will take the save game and add extras, possibly even overhaul some parts, but I think you've done great. I look forward to going back and exploring earlier episodes that I've missed over the last year, in the meantime, bring on the Lone Butte :D

[@juliansantos8478]

¡Que bien que quedó! Voy a a extrañar ver como se construye esta ciudad, era muy relajante. Ojalá se den más proyectos así a futuro. Muy buen trabajo!

[@garyhorder1556]

Yet another new playerish finding your channel, just to find this was last upload, plenty to binge though :)

[@spartan117zm]

There’s a lot of things that all of us could always do more to, but sometimes it’s not about doing more, it’s about being happy with what you’ve already done. This has been a great series and you’ve done a great job, and I know we’ll all be eagerly awaiting whatever it is you decide to do next. And hey, if you don’t enjoy doing a lot of commentary, there’s nobody saying you have to. You could do a little at the beginning and end to say hi and maybe a quick summary of what you worked on, and then fill the rest of the video with some good music. I think everybody would enjoy that just as much.

[@ShaneSchmidt]

Been watching this project since it's inception. You've done a great job and we all look forward to the next one. :)

[@DillSulix]

this was an amazing series! thanks for the entertainment :D

[@bbinc.6918]

Personally I think you’re really good at giving commentary at your own videos and I am very happy to hear that you’re honest with us about the situation ❤️💛👏🏼🙏🏼👊🏼

[@Timurv1234]

This is the best and most realistic European city I've ever seen!

[@nathancreek6086]

2018?? I can't believe how long I've been watching this series
