@@AeliusAnonymous I believe Paradox has said in the past that they are contractually required to release a console version, so it’s highly unlikely they won’t release one. That said, it could very well be released and abandoned 6 months later, with no bug fixes. Especially if Paradox decides to cut their loses and drop the franchise

You make this look so much easier than it actually is. You commented at one point that by laying out all the roads first you are developing the city backwards. I'd love to see you do a video where you try and build as close as possible to the way a normal city would develop naturally (Specifically focusing on how the road layout would organically develop rather than having the foundations already down).

If you want to see a city developed in that historical manner check out Akruas' Altengrad series. Extremely different from CPP since he plays heavily modded and basically ignores the simulation and game itself, but he goes in extreme depth on real historical city growth from the start of the 20th century to today.

One suggestion for the next time we do lots of road building, if you could talk a bit more about how/why you angle the grids you do and slow that bit down that would help a ton! Maybe you could use the draw tool to mark the key orientation points along the map like you did with the industry/community areas? I was building along, but my second grid orientation was all off so I had to make some adjustments. Once I figured out why you oriented the way you did, it made sense, just got confused while following along ^^;.

I like how you draw exactly where you want the road to go even if there will be a conflict, and then adjust the conflicting roads to accomidate the new road. This is really great for the over-all shape of the grid! I've always avoided the conflicting roads and wind around them, treating exiting roads as immutable and having an extra wonkjy grid. CS 2 road tools help a lot too, but thanks I learned something

So I built alongside you and a little beyond. I struggle with the way the residential zoning works, like the menu itself. I regularly got EU and US mixed up and at one point accidentally placed med density Apts instead of row housing. The icons just aren't distinct enough, the colors all bleed together and I can't quickly distinguish US from EU properties. It also took me a bit to get into the green but it was so rewarding when I finally did, especially after seeing people freak out about the econ update.

I decided to play along. Something I've wanted to do with a content producer's game series for a long time, but never committed to. This 1 hour video took me about 4 hours to watch, with many re-winds to figure out what I'd missed. For example, right when you said we're in the green, I was so close to running out of money and I was still deep in the red. I very narrowly avoided disaster by rewinding and finding the part where you adjusted the taxes. It didn't take me long to realize I was never going to match your angles and road placement exactly, so my city doesn't look quite like yours. Close, but not quite. Especially where the grids mesh together, there's a lot more jank in mine.

For the neighborhood called Chester Grove just out of town from Sugar Grove - I’d like to suggest Mt Kinderhook. That’s the nickname of Martin van Buren, who became President right after Michigan attained statehood (and so I’d presume around when Superior did too), so I can see it as a fitting name for the now-flattened hill. And then we can have another Van Buren Street in the neighborhood (don’t rename Underhill Street, that one hilariously cuts right through where the hill used to be!).

Hey there! Just watched your awesome video! Can't wait to see more guides for this game from you. Hoping your next video guide will cover budget systems. I've found a cool strategy to make lots of money early on by tweaking taxes and cutting back on services. Even before hitting level 3, I've been able to rake in up to 4k profit. Once at level 4, I've hit 20k+ through parking, parks, and mostly taxes. And guess what? City growth stays pretty steady at level 4 happiness, and honestly, maintaining level 5 happiness doesn't seem to make a huge difference in growth. Thanks for sharing the tips!

Thank you for showing us the mechanics of the Economy 2.0 version of the game. This is super valuable to me; thanks! I have a suggestion for your farm planning, however. Sorry for this being TLDR... I really doubt that most farmers are going to try to maintain forests and tree-lines "all the way around" their farms. It's better to clear that land and keep it mowed or disc'd low to prevent brush fires from destroying the land and buildings, and from killing the livestock or crops. Also, trees will later impede getting around on the land with heavy equipment. If your backhoe blows an engine seal out on the back 40 acres and you need to tow it back to the maintenance shed, you don't want to be forced to drive your tow rig across your already-planted ground just to fetch the backhoe. And driving it across the freshly tilled soil will just crush it and make it harder to plant...or will get your tow rig stuck in the mud. So really, a farm should have access roads or paths to allow you to get to any part of your property without tearing up the crops or damaging the paddocks. And if you have trees, now they will need to be groomed and maintained, or they'll become diseased and stunted. Tree roots will also compete with the crops for water, compost, and fertilizer. And when trees get sick or old, or are struck by lightning or a tornado, they will fall down and crush the crops, or, if they are big enough, could end up blocking access for big machinery such as combines, or harvesters. And then rotting trees actually draw valuable nitrogen OUT of the soil for a long time before they become net-beneficial to the soil. No no, trees need to be removed, or planted only in places that are strategic and logical for what you're doing with that land. Fences with gates are a more realistic option. They will keep livestock in and (most) four-legged predators out. Fences with gates will also prevent poachers and thieves from coming onto the property with their own heavy equipment and stealing your equipment, crops, or livestock, while trees will hide and mask the activities of criminals and vandals. As mentioned above, you might grow a treeline at one end of the property for a windbreak, or maybe for a snowbreak, if you get snow. Or local or state law may require that you build and maintain a tree line along your property that fronts with a certain road or freeway. But I doubt any farmer would want to grow trees on all 4 sides of his property; especially not if he's already in competition with the mega-giant factory farms in the region. Efficiency is the name of the game for the successful farmer, ESPECIALLY if he's a small family farmer, or a member of a farming co-operative. Better to build a fence and treat it with an oil-based protectant (or old motor oil from his great grand daddy's 100 year old John Deere that he still uses every spring) to keep it that wood from rotting. Some of the oldest fences in the world are still "young" by any real measure because they are made of wood and they are preserved regularly with oil, and are maintained in working order by American farmers! It's not unusual to see farms with fences that are 120 years old or older. These fences might be an ugly and greasy black color, but they sure don't need to be replaced just because they got "worn out", no. They only need to be repaired or replaced if they're damaged by weather, vandalism, or an accident. Good series! Thanks for bringing it to us! 😀

I just modified this map quite a bit this week. Made some smallest mountains a bit more smaller, but still maintained the looked of the island and I also gave the map some custom map tiles instead of the generic grid one. Let me tell you it takes quite a while to do custom map tiles😅 This map would work very well with an Asian inspired build.

i stopped playing Cities 2 because it felt like there was no improvement on building the city over the first one. now i can see there have been some improvements. the surfaces alone look so satisfying to work with.

Wow, thank you for making this video! I just picked up CS2 post econ 2.0 and have been struggling. This is exactly what I’ve been looking for. I can’t wait for episode 2. I do have to admit, I’m still a little confused on roads and what not, I’m hoping that’ll click soon.

Omg yeeees. I've been wanting this so bad. I'm new to CS2 and I just can't keep a city floating due to economy 2.0! Thank you you're a godsend! ❤

It's great to see the reboot after the Econ 2.0 patch came out. Hopefully you'll touch on traffic in a future episode as that is usually where I get nailed. I can get my city going and the budget balanced and then I'm nailed by that pesky traffic. I can usually trace this back to a single connection to the highway and a single entrance into the main part of the city (I tend to use custom maps). So, I look forward to seeing how you deal with that in this city. Once again, a very informative and fun video which is one of your mainstays. Thanks, CPP!

Cemeteries can actually be a great equivalent to a public park, I live near Cleveland and many people use Lakeview Cemetery as an area for walking, biking, there's small gathering areas. And it's just very beautiful and well maintained.
