Looking good!

3 more episodes! We're now well over 70,000 people

Two Episodes to report! In the first - the city gets a new governor - in the form of the Dark Lord Sauron! (best mod ever?!) and then in Ep 14 - I create a zone using the new Nightlife district bringing flashy hotels, bars and nightclubs!

Episode 12 - and we sail past the 50,000 people mark! Despite the traffic problems and the worker shortages - going past this mark after 12 episodes (at about 30 mins each means I've been going around 6 hours) makes me feel like I'm doing well?!

are you using a European map?

Episode 11! - I start adding a few cool mods, and we go nuclear!

I think mostly because I'm being a bit lazy in that respect - and for speed - also I'm not that good at road design yet to create anything better - I will certainly try experimenting with a few more going forward. Are there any good ones in the Workshop you can recommend?

and Here is Episode 10 - the title is Ironic - because the majority of the episode is dedicated to building a massive oil refinery to purge the land of its riches! Still having the worker shortage problem - and already starting to see ways that city 2 can be much improved.

it stopped you from reading further but then you posted afterwards? I meant the convo with Dedgren btw?

where can I download that map you're using?

Episode 9 - and I'm struggling with that 'forestry' area - I think building the residential round the outside might limit it - but I've had some ideas for Episode 10 that might be able to sort it out - do you guys have any decent tips on building 'specialised' industrial areas? Also - is there a way on this forum to delete the slightly unsavoury messages above? - I don't want it stopping people from reading further?

Thanks again for your feedback. Interesting point about the video length - I guess with a lot of editing I could probably fit a 30min episode into 10, but I think my point is to do more of a 'lets play' and I have also been told elsewhere (only 2 ppl said this tho) that they like me talking about my 'thinking process'. Can I ask who else on Youtube or here's videos you like to watch? I've noticed - and this really isn't a criticism - that lots of people on this site care more about the 'city design' than the 'game' - almost turning it into a city-builder-sandbox rather than a city-building-based business video game (What a great game it is, by the way, that lends itself to both ideologies). I'm surprised the amount of people who play the game with the infinite money on. Then again I've certainly done things like 'turn the money off' on Rollercoaster Tycoon in the past to make the best looking theme park possible. The reason I ask is that I watched a fair few Youtubers play C:S - Although I'd say these are people that play a whole bunch of different games, and C:S is one series among many - like what I'm trying to do (I'm also playing Fifa 16 and Unturned atm.... Fallout 4 is calling). I followed Youtubers like Keralis, BDoubleO, TOvlogs, Fluxtrance (and I know they're in a WAY different league to me). I noticed that: - Their videos are generally between 25-35mins - They don't really 'edit' the videos - occasionally they will 'go offline' and build like a complex road network or something to save the viewers watching 3 straight hours of road building. (I did this between eps 4 and 5) - They make mistakes deliberately - I make them because I'm a bit carp at the game haha - They play the 'game' - ie keep the money on, try to please the citizens etc. I wanted to try and follow this model because honestly IMO I prefer it over someone 'painting' a city - as beautiful as they are. So I'm wondering what you would think of their style of video vs what you are suggesting? They are probably trying to appeal to a more 'general' market - as I am really. Anyway they're my thoughts - interested in your thoughts on what i've said? And now after reading all that you deserve a reward - here's ep 8

And here is episode 7 - I've added a few spots of class with the big opera house and other amenities - but, despite my happiness in the show, think I may have caused myself a lot of work with where I've put that cargo dock! Also, I put in a mod directly out of Skyrim - and worshippers come in their droves! Again any feedback welcome and hope you enjoy the show.

Do you? are they on the workshop? - I managed to download a Los Pollos Hermanos, & the AIA Cabs Company from Breaking Bad - and a Shrine of Talos from Skyrim - which gets placed in my next vid haha. I've got no idea how to make workshop things but I'd have a go if I could

Thank you - I've actually seen Konrad before he does some great things. I'm trying to start building something good myself - but I'm pretty new to the game - Hopefully I'll get as good as you at road designing! Also - any assets you can recommend? I randomly downloaded a Shrine of Talos from Skyrim as a unique building haha. Here is a link to my thread on it if you're interested - keep up the good work.
