The place where the two rivers meet is called a confluence

[@Ratchet4647]

Luciano Médica Catalán You can also use that term when you refer to things coming together in unison.

[@lewismansah6479]

Wow Akruas, Thanks for doing the research on the tram tracks running on the bridge. That was interesting and very informative. I'll try to somehow include that in the story I'm writing set in Altengrad. Keep up great work and I look forward to the next episode.

When I was in Prague 19 years ago I saw some old photographs in a exhibit, there was a Nazi banner on Charles Bridge Eastern tower and tram tracks going under the arch and I was very surprises to see tram tracks on that old bridge. So the tram tracks were taken off after WW2. The tracks seemed to shine so it is likely they were still in use... As for tram electrification, even with continuous current, there is still a positive and negative, Usually positive is given by the third rail or cable and the negative is the return current through one of the rails themselves. London underground uses a special system with one electric rail on the side and one in the middle, one is positive and the other negative but the polarity is not equally split between the two to have the ideal polarity for train lights circuit in the arriving current. The segmented ground rail was the same in Paris early 20th Century for trams as Parisian elites didn't want cables in the Historical center. However it was not alwaus reliable and people tend to suicide old horses on defective ground electrical rails... In Paris, trams disappeared in 1937 and about 15 years ago you could still see segments of tram tracks somewhere near St Augustin if I recall... The system has been modernized perfected by Alstom and you can find it in Orleans, Tours and mostly Bordeaux.

[@unconventionalideas5683]

13.5% gradients are permitted in Lisbon, but Lisbon is Lisbon, where they also have 11 meter turning radii and thus did not get cable hauled railways or even trams until 1933 as a result of these harsh technical requirements.

[@dyn_sh0tix]

I was in Prague one week ago, and I think that there were Tram-Tracks before the Second World War on the Kars-Bridge

[@FolgoreCZ]

I am in Prague right now and I'm pretty sure they are not. :-D

[@Akruas]

I live in Prague, the tracks are gone, maybe you think of a different bridge.

[@dyn_sh0tix]

Akruas sorry, i meant before the world war 😅. Sorry for my bad English xD

[@civishamburgum1234]

Such low bridges are not navigable. That's why historically ferrys were prefered.

[@toni0082]

are you german?

[@andrewcassidy1790]

huh, I was reading about ground-level power supply for trams just yesterday!

[@cgpanda4282]

On the last bit of this half island you could also build something like the "deutsches Eck" in Koblenz, Germany. It's the place where two rivers, Rhine and Mosel meet. I think this would fit very good in here. They've also build a very modern cable car from here up to the local castle.

[@Akruas]

looks good, yes something similar is planned

[@acematthewocampo2181]

I know it’s just the beginning but altengrad looks amazing

[@stronghold1917]

Хоть и из России, но я люблю смотреть твой канал, в особенности видео про Альтенград. Мне всегда нравился европейский стиль и всегда мечтал побывать в Европе или хоть куда-нибудь выехать из этой Сибири :( . В этих видео я могу хоть как-то полюбоваться и помечтать о Европе. Удачи и успехов тебе и надеюсь, что видео будут выходить чаще.

[@jimduffy7199]

Thank you for the fascinating history lesson. City planning and history - my two favourite topics. I am a historian by training.

[@mewosh_]

You already have a plan on what to do on this *island*? If not you can build something like Ostrów Tumski from Wrocław. 😉

[@bartomiejwalich6108]

Ty złodzieju pomysłów!!🤣

[@bartomiejwalich6108]

Tak poza tym to ostrów tumski jest w Poznaniu

[@dominikhrabi6853]

@@bartomiejwalich6108 Ostrów Tumski jest również we Wrocławiu gdyż Ostrów to po prostu wyspa, a tym Tum to z łaciny katedra, więc Ostrów Tumski to wyspa Katedralna ENG: Ostrów Tumski is also in Wrocław, because Ostrów is other name for Island and Tum is from Latin Cathedral, so Ostrów Tumski is just Cathedral Island.

[@Akruas]

I do already have some plans for that place, but there is another island in this river where I could do something like that. The old mill from those Wroclaw islands also looks interesting

[@BibiduleDeEtre]

I think the two branches of the river would be merging, and not spliting, as rivers rarely split for very long. otherwise, daaaamn the layout of the city is starting to appear ! Altengrad is so gorgeous !

[@lunamcmanus5706]

I've been thinking about Altengrad and perhaps adding a Jewish quarter to the city is an idea? , such as the one found in Krakow for example? There are many cities in central europe with jewish quarters

[@ndv135]

Since he is basing a lot off Prague, it seems relevant to mention that it also has a Jewish Quarter. But really, all that would really be distinct about it would be that it would be an area of the old town built around a synagogue instead of a church, still something that would make sense, but wouldn't really be all that different.

[@StephenN1904]

Considering this takes place in the 1920's, will you be building an early metro/subway as was done in say Paris, London and Budapest? not sure if Metro Overhaul Mod has early European metro trains available. Loving this series btw.

[@cadurevival6702]

You’re so talented! I love your series.

[@HendrikDaStar]

Altengrad is already a Masterpiece!

[@W_movieschannel]

Hi, I like your videos a lot and may I ask you a question? In this video, when you put a building, there are the cobblestone automatically between building and road. How can you do this. The normal condition should be general cement material, right? How can I do that like you? And thanks your help !!

[@Akruas]

I changed the default texture to cobblestone using the Theme Mixer mod. This texture is part of the Farmland map theme.

[@mewosh_]

I've been waiting for this episode for a long time and it's awesome. 😁

[@lordvaderdarthsith]

Incredible work. I wish someone would mod the citizens to look like they are from the 1920s, I'd done it myself if I knew how to :(

[@HighExplosiveSerenade]

Damn son! what a beautiful city! I can't wait to see what comes next! :)

[@samborpuskas]

The cable going on the ground for the tram is called a conduit.

[@JarHead12345]

OCD moment when you see where the dirt road comes to the 4 way intersection but there is no dirt in said intersection.

[@mt07_leo]

Keep the nice vids up! Look at the bridge in Porto, could you do something like that? (I think it would fit in the city)

[@Akruas]

Ponte Luís I you mean? It's really tall, not sure if we have the right place for it, but we'll see

[@lewisharrad6148]

Looks like the bridge in Prague

[@КривийАндрій]

GREAT

[@babyborish]

how do you manage to put the cobblestone decals just to the roads or the sidewalks?When I use decals it always ends up in places that I dont want.

[@Akruas]

I sometimes convert decals into Procedural Objects and manipulate its shape, I did a tutorial on that kzbin.info/www/bejne/b3ayp3aZqd15jrc

[@dragonlukasmapping805]

Akruas do you will make some construction site or river harbor for small ships or some high office buildings or build airport in 1920s a lot countries in central europe have it biggest was in czech republic i think :)

[@jirkavebr-czmapper8059]

You should build some industrial areas.

[@OndrejBorovec]

Trams on the Charles bring were only between 1905-8 and I guess you have passed that point, so it was not a good idea, rather build a bridge like the one between Smichov and Vysehrad just for trams

[@ukaszflorkowski2435]

I'm really loving this series! I watch every single episode as soon as I can, and it's really nice to look at. However, I think that you made a very big mistake in this episode. There's a reason that on the river banks only fishermen's huts used to be - rivers flood each year. And every few years (around 5 back then, 10 today) there's a bigger flood, that affects even the higher located parts of the city. There DEFINITELY should not be any big, stone/brick buildings just on the river bank. I'm obviously talking about a low river bank (Altengrad has one, not yet changed by humans), because, for example, Prague already has a tall river bank, and therefore there's no flood risk. I think that you should either rise the shore to about 2-3 meters and leave the buildings, making a typical river bank of a big city focused around a river, or get rid of these buildings and place a harbour or a pier in there, leaving the rest of the coast to marshes and forests, especially because this is just the 1920, but as this is a big city, I don't think this is wanted.

[@Akruas]

Sorry, you're wrong. The building I placed that goes slightly into the river is almost exactly at this height above the usual water level in real life. When I was placing the small buildings just next to the bridge I literally had street view from Prague opened on the second screen, I even roughly measured just how hight they are above the water to make it similar. Sure the never parts have higher walls around the river, but some parts don't, especially around the Charles Bridge. There's even a palace there that's roughly one floor height above the water.

[@ukaszflorkowski2435]

@@Akruas Okay, sorry, maybe the game perspective messed with me. I thought that this garden-like alley was basically on the river level. That's weird though, I always remembered rivers in big cities having these big walls around them. How do they prevent flooding then? I live next to a river, but a more rural one, so when the flood comes, all the water goes to the forests on the other side. A big city should have something similar, but not inside the city, more like large rural areas upstream... But why am I telling you this, you are the main planner here :D Thanks that you responded to my concern, good luck on Altengrad... I feel that this series is going to last for a VERY long time, so don't lose motivation!

[@dragonlukasmapping805]

And can i ask you say you will make altengrad in 1920s to early 2000s so you will not go in to future ?

You can’t get it for free unless you pirate it.

It's only on Steam so the only way you'll get it for free is if someone gifts it to you. If you pirate it you can't get mods (not to mention finding pirated versions of Steam-only games is not worth your time and a scummy thing to do with a good indie game).
