Which Are The Best Hotels & Retreats Maps In Cities Skylines & Why?

[@kimmipops5143]

Would be nice if they sometimes got rid of the double highway for starting and maybe introduced some smaller roads/highways to start your city from 😞

[@scarypineapple8608]

A smaller road would cause massive traffic issues with people just trying to travel to your city.

[@Kristofburger]

The main issue with that is they would have to scoot the smaller highways into the base game instead of requiring Mass Transit.

[@laurenj2315]

I think your attempts to ping the Discord about this show you are definitely in need of a holiday 😄 Thanks for the tier list, Egg!

[@OVERCHARGEDEGG]

😩 Discord proper mugged me off ❤ cheers lauren!

[@pogodziej]

Honestly? Ever since I saw the first episode of Thessia I wish they could make a map or two maps that only have a Train Station and a Cargo Train Station with rail connections in the starting tile and only the next unlockabe tiles have the highway connection. Obviously sensibly designed. That was soo cool watching people moving in walking out of the train station. And no annoying vanilla highway interchange to redesign.

[@Oktopia]

Would have been cool with a winter map with an alpine feel to it. Putting in those log cabin-esque assets and having a ski resort build. :D Nice maps all in all. I'm definitely going to get this pack.

[@pcdosgirl]

Sheesh, now I really want to play the winter maps. I grew up near the Alps, the new dlc is perfect for snowy climates! "Why don't we put her in charge!?!" -Pvt Hudson

[@NikkyElso]

More winter maps are desperately needed now that CO knows how to make decent maps now.

[@Oktopia]

@@NikkyElso Agreed!

[@TangerineUnicornDesign]

The mixed biome maps are awesome, I hope that CS2 really leans into that as a concept because it's so much more realistic.

[@picklepotpieofficial]

Maze Valley reminds me of Durango, CO. A college town surrounded by bluffs, the college itself sits up on one. Only a couple outside connections via national roads that climb said bluffs up onto the mesa tops, which then head down to the desert. Head north into the mountains theres a couple small historic mining towns -now tourist towns- with limited footprints. Could be really neat

[@83athom]

Maze Valley at least seems like one of the few maps a hydrodam seems viable without massively altering the terrain. Could possibly do like a Boulder City / Las Vegas build on it.

[@ben0329]

Only just got to Emerald Cliffs but it’s such a nice map. Those hills looks amazing in the background from the castle top!

[@gameliasims]

As someone who lives on a ridge, I appreciate the steep mountains in Maze Valley. Ive been looking for a place to build switchback roads. I only wish it was temperate.

[@greendragonfly4831]

Shifting sands is what I've started my first city on with my PC. This is S tier for builders i love it.

[@StarStuff.]

Emerald Cliffs is cool, the numerous castles give a perfect excuse to develop smaller town centres around them and their surrounding neighbourhoods, like they used to be at odds with each other in the past, and then give them one big downtown, but have to see the map more in detail. Maze Valley instantly reminded me of The Wandering Village on top of dino Dave 😄 Not sure if it's possible to link the mountaintops with cable cars, never tried to use them so up high... Actually is it possible to build bridges that high? I guess I just have to try... Thank you for getting out the tier list so quickly ❤

[@wyzemann]

Wow! These maps intrigue me as much as my first run-through with the original game's non-DLC maps. These are a lot more refined and varied; what a terrific send-off!

[@raine1260]

Costal Flatlands looks like it could be a fun tourist map. Thanks for the overview!

[@MattR336]

I always appreciate these map reviews. Thank you for going through them so thoroughly

[@rebecca99994]

Thanks for getting this out so quickly. I tend to dislike European maps, so disappointing the only temperate one didn't have what I was looking for.

[@ilkerozgen2165]

I am not sure if we are going to get more maps but can you make a tierlist with all maps in the game or maybe just your favorites?

[@OVERCHARGEDEGG]

All the maps have their own tier list, broken down by dlc and vanilla. On the playlist if you're interested!

[@ilkerozgen2165]

@@OVERCHARGEDEGG no i meant like best of all times. Maybe you can compare best one of each dlc with each other.

[@azuarc]

@@ilkerozgen2165 Agreed. It's much easier to have a consolidated list than going through a dozen different videos.

[@NoDecaf7]

​@@azuarc I'm currently going through that process actually lol!

[@joshuatayloe8616]

The last one seems the most intriguing to me. Basically you start with an extremely buildable flat map that requires you to use all skills to make it unique. A lot of tera forming opportunities and you have to connect the 2 highways yourself. Also with just the single river it makes the map hydro power viable.

[@thargoff]

OE, you are just the best in introducing and describing maps for Cities Skylines. With a lot of fun as well and your personal touch. :)

[@YourAverageProgrammer1]

I recommend only using Water Towers in Maize Valley if playing vanilla with no DLCs because using the sewage drainers will waste your limited water use. Otherwise use a DLC that has a land sewage system or conversion plant that turns the sewage into drinking water. Also the so called clean water sewage drainer thing in green cities DLC does not work. Even though, there is no visible water pollution, it still makes your city sick however with that DLC you could still use the trash cleaners

[@skinniestfatman5641]

Maps look good, the maze map kinda reminds me of Innsbruck nestled inbetween the Alps

[@EATHinNZ]

I'd love to see you do a vanilla build on Emerald Cliffs once you're done with Orchid Bay, since you're close to the node limit and CS2 is a bit of a let down currently

[@Bobberino22]

Good video, these maps are great for resmastered version but the 9 tile limit for some of us kills. Thanks for showing me that it’s not worth getting (for me). Can’t wait to upgrade and try out all these really cool maps in full like they’re intended!

[@pcdosgirl]

Thank you Egg, you wasted no time getting the cartography analyses out to us. Imho, the map info is vital. I plan to dump sand over the entire Winding Waters map and make it tropical. And the fishing is BORING! Good grief, it's not that hard to have all four fish available on one map. But yeah, thanks again Egg, love all your Map Tiers videos.

[@YourAverageProgrammer1]

I just took advantage of the summer sale and bought a few DLCs. Even though you don't compare those DLCs with each other, I still appreciate how it turns it from a like 12+ map choice is just like a choice between like 4 maps because its a lot more organized when I watch these and I can easily see "Ok, this is my favorite Hotels and Retreats, and this is my favorite Sunset harbor" etc. I only need to compare my favorite of each because as I said prior you only compare the DLCs maps with each other mainly which is okay, (duh your doing the community a favor, saying its not enough would be like telling somebody who just donated 3000 dollars to charity and saying "HEY YOU BETTER DONATE ANOTHER 1000) anyways back on topic, It also just the fact you go deep into almost every possible piece of information we could use so I don't need to go load up all these maps myself and can just watch these short but useful videos please, keep making these videos once CS2 is released too. Thanks!

[@AntneeUK]

I always love to see an Egg tier-list. It's these videos that The Algorithm™ first recommended and how I discovered your channel, before I got into Noob Yolk. Great to see you keep making them

[@jaredstivers]

I know Overcharge Eggs would do another series but i would like to see a Snow map, possibly a mini Series, before Cities Skylines 2. If if it's a 9 tiles vanilla playthrough could be cool.

[@usernameiphone3gkid]

I was thinking that mountain looked like Camel Back Mountain right before you said it lmaooo

[@izzydebouwer5560]

I’m going to build a cable car in maze valley that goes straight to the plateau with the castle.

[@charlieboy-420]

Would you be willing to have a go at ranking all of the different various transport stations, stops and hubs one day please?

[@justincredible1990]

I agree with your ratings except I'd say Shifting Sands is a must play.

[@sErgEantaEgis12]

I wish we could have gotten a true desert map style instead of "tropical but with lots of sand" with high temperatures during the day, low during the night and very little rain.

[@csch1510]

Winding Rivers reminds me of Rotterdam Turn the map 180 degrees from east to west, Change the rivers at the now west end into a big body of water, Voila!

[@RRembrandt]

I love emerald hills but trees are flickering for me. Doesn't happen on the other maps

[@aresivrc1800]

Thank you for yet another great overview.

[@nagranoth_]

What the hell? That first map actually has a starting position that makes sense as a location where you'd start a city. First map I've seen that has that. 1:13 oh... never mind. I thought it was next to the river, but of course it isn't, you have to have grown enough to buy that square.

[@quoniam426]

Winding River is a more friendly and wildly river map than Prague.

Good afternoon mate!

[@Vincent_A]

Do you have a page with all the tier lists collected?

[@rayizard5687]

3:34 the issue with the train when only using base game nine tiles makes me hate this map

[@johnterpack3940]

I'm one of those masochists who gets a kick out of maps like Maze Valley. But it can definitely be a challenge building believable networks. Emerald Cliffs does look interesting. Probably the only other map I'd play out of that pack. My big gripe is all the rubbish scattered about. I can't stand wasting time going around the map deleting all the ruins and shipwrecks. Those aren't features to me. I actually find it somewhat insulting. It's like the mapmaker is telling me I need to do something there.

[@MichaelPigott]

How do you get the map thumbnails that you put in the tier list?

[@howlingwulfe5995]

I'm excited for Emerald Cliffs!!

[@CaptainSpielt]

i like your browser tabs haha :D

[@esterlingo9664]

I started a new build on Maze Valley last night. I feel you judged it too harshly in this case. It's not a Prussian Peaks map. 🤣

[@scarypineapple8608]

I’m using the series x remastered version but cannot find it in the store… any thoughts?

[@michaelw6222]

thanks, Egg.
