@@Akruas it's the same for all Eastern European cities. City Beautiful made a wonderful video on 'soviet' planning and it could certainly help you if you want to go that way with the storyline.
@@razvansamoila The guy literally says in that very video how not every single city, especially in different states of USSR had the same style. And Central Europe was not even in USSR. It's simply not true that the whole eastern block cities were the same.
@@Akruas. I mean it more in the sense that the Soviets still run things at this time. Remember that you already had Altengrad around the area that would later become the Eastern Bloc, and the Warsaw Pact was formed by the Soviets during the Cold War as essentially their version of NATO except they would ultimately control countries such as Poland, East Germany, etc. By that knowledge, wouldn't Altengrad logically be in a similar position as, say, Poland? You even had Soviet tanks running in the city during the World War II video, and I'm pretty sure the Red Army didn't go to somewhere like fucking Denmark during that time. Therefore, logically speaking, a lot of the city planning for Altengrad going forward would be very much in line with places such as Estonia, Czechoslovakia, Poland, list goes on. Is that not correct?
I've just been catching up on this series and I am floored! The WW2 cinematic episode was especially excellent! It's been an absolute joy to see the complete transformation of my Copper Creek map into a series I never would have imagined was even possible in Cities. I'm so anxious to see what's to come, and can't wait to see how Altengrad grows and transforms!
This is the first and only video I've ever seen from you but I'm blown away by the detail and realism level. It looks and feels so spot on for period accuracy, I can visualize similar industrial areas now that have faded into disuse over the years and go yeah that's accurate for how it would have been done back in the 40s. I guess I'm gonna have to subscribe
I don't know if this is what you're going for, but I think it would be really cool if you did something "Stalinist" since I know you said this was going to be behind the iron curtain. In the early 1950's, there could be some monumental avenue built like "Stalinallee" in Berlin (or similar examples in Minsk or Kyiv), or some monumental building project like the Palace of Culture and Science in Warsaw. Just a though, but it could be completely opposite of what you are planning. Awesome, series, glad to see some new episodes again!
Really nice! Looking forward on how you will recreate the city in the coming decades. I think it will be very interesting to see your take on how the cities rebuilt themselves following the different architectural movements. Can't wait also to see the change in the 90s - 00s!
In my opinion the history of Altengrad looks like this: Altengrad is placed in Chechia, where rivers of Vltava and Elbe merge. In reality city of Melnik lies there, but in this timeline it was founded by German colonisers, and that's why it has German name. It was pretty small city until the Prussian-Austrian war in 1866 when city of Usti nad Labem was destroyed. Altengrad was untouched and majority of people fleed to city, making it double its population until just 1875. When WWI broke out, Altengrad was inhabited by around 100 000 inhabitants, but the real growth came when Czechoslovakia was founded. In 1922, part of Sudetenland was given autonomy, and Altengrad (even if it was not part of Sudetenland in reality) became its capital - that's why there are parliament buildings. Also, when in hills around of the city iron and coal was found, steel mill and heavy industry was developed in Altengrad. City was attracting more and more people and in 1938 it was 300 000 inhabitants. In 1938 Altengrad, just like all Sudetenland, was annexed by Germany. During the war it was major industry complex and army supplier, until in may 7th was captured by Polish and Soviet forces. After the war, Germans left the city, which became part of communist Czechoslovakia. That's all what we have now. I wish to see more episodes and I love your videos @Akuras!
I think there should be a small mountain made of war debris. I live in Dresden, Germany, and we have something called a " Trümmerberg" here, which translates to " debris mountain". It would be cool to see something like that in Altengrad.
This Trümmerberg Was the Ruins of the Frauenkirche, which is rebuilded. But yes, i think this is a good ideal. I was Born in Dresden and still live nearby here.
Is this still cities skylines?? 😄 Wow...what a game. Excellent video. It's like a time-lapse of an entire story being played out frame by frame. Thanks. 👍
I can't wait to see T3 Tatra trams running on the tram lines thru the all city!! I got one idea: is it possible for you to make via CSL Map view mode plan of the city with its tram lines? It would be nice to see that!!
I know you said to contribute ideas for the future of Altengrad in Discord, but I am not on Discord, so I hope you don't mind them here. 1. How about a large war memorial in town near the river? A tourist site. New, larger hotels would be needed, more restaurants and sidewalk cafe's? 2. A new, larger railway station or even a small airport for international travel? 3. A new university and related infrastructure in a effort to focus on learning and progress in the wake of the war? This may lead to more cultural sites such as opera houses or ballet theaters, libraries and museums.
1. 1950s, hotels later 2. Probably won't build new stations, but expand existing ones 1980/90s 3. University planned for multiple decades, starting 1960s probably
When you build the new 50s and 60s housing I would love to see a bunch of those khruschevkas/commieblocks. They are extremely common in the old Soviet areas.
Typically every vehicle in this video would be uncommon for the 1940s. In the 1940s you would see vehicles from 1934-40-46--to whenever year we are at now. The vehicles he has currently are from around 1930, newsflash, vehicles did not look like 1930 by 1934.
One important question that should be asked and answered and which should determine the future of the city is: In Altengrad storyline...on which side of the Iron Curtain did the city stayed? West or East????
Question: How do you get started with something like this? Like I've been wanting to get started with custom builds like this, and I frequently find myself stuck in decision paralysis, not knowing where to start, or even how to achieve a particular vision I have. So how do you actually learn to do stuff like this?
I am going love and hate if you take a beautiful tram/pedestrian bridge, and turn it into a plain modernist 4 lane car road without public transport. Although if it’s on the red side of the curtain I imagine the tram line would be restored.
Amazing video man! I have a question tho, will Altengrad play a somewhat important role in the cold war? Like Military Bases or Rocket silos or something like a naval base? Keep up the good work :)
@@Akruas. I think it could actually serve a purpose in the Cold War, though not through direct combat or war supplies. I think a future build could be of a fictional Soviet facility in Altengrad where the Red Army trains their top tier soldiers and commanders. In other words, a much more behind the scenes build in comparison to the Central European town.
This is such a unique build i love the timeline it never ends the game the new years means new buildings more recent styles and i love that. Whats ur pc spect?
In the 70's you can do the thing my City did and demolish the beatiful gothic townhall and and replace is with an yellow colored abomonation of a skyscraper that nobody wants.
Skoro ti nepočujem český prízvuk, len občas nejaké slovíčko. Reč veľmi plynulá, žil si v Anglicku alebo ako to že si takýto znalý? Prečo robíš videá v Angličtine?
Maybe there should be a preserved tank memorial from the war that happened
Maybe there will be
Actually most war memorials are constructed way after the war itself
@ ok
i was going to make a comment about putting one on the island near where the tiger was destroyed
Something to remember for future builds: Soviet city planning put a LOT of emphasis on public spaces; Parks, Plazas, you get the picture.
This is not Soviet union.
He meant Soviet cities that where planned like these from the Soviet Union

It's a really great map, thank you for making it.
I love how you incorporate the time progression and the construction of a temporary bridge! It really feels like there's a story!
seriously cant get enough of this series. cant wait to see what the future holds!
6:30 when Altengrad is getting a Soviet rebuilding, it would make sense that there would be an open square with some flowers and a Lenin Statue
You know the guy is talented when he makes a fence from a wooden wagon

this is literally the best part of cities skylines ive ever seen just incredible
I watched this series way back in the beginning, and now I'm back. This is one of the coolest CS builds

I gotta say that this series is excellent!

Man, this city looks gorgeous, and like a real city too, none of that perfect grid stuff.
Grids exist in real life, too. It all depends on multiple factors including location.

ontop of just being amazing at building cities hes got this insanely cool twist to it which makes it just that much better
This city looks SOO Nice !
One thing I would like to see later on is something like the Palast der Republik, a grand arts building in the center of the town
Yay for more upcoming industries!
You could make a memorial or a war museum somewhere in the city, maybe even at the intersection battle ruins!???
YAAAAAS I've been waiting for this
When you build the new 50s and 60s housing I would love to see a bunch of those khruschevkas/commieblocks. They are extremely common in the old Soviet areas.
This is what city skylines 2 should be like
What a lovely improvised brisge. Kinda makes me wish, that kmore bridges were destroyed.
I would recomend you to build a freeway like the Embarcadero Freeway, that was build in the 60s and demolishet in the 90s.
the CS wizard is at it again! can't wait to see the results!
so excited for this series
Can't wait for the 1950s to arrive. And with it, glorious Soviet architecture
Rebuild Atlengrad back 👍
Next 1950s Altengrad Progression
Aaaa good old days
I was wondering, the 1950s/1960s are coming, and cars will be bit too old for these times, so you will replace them? If yes wish you good luck :D
Yes, I already have a list of suitable cars, trams and trains.
Typically every vehicle in this video would be uncommon for the 1940s. In the 1940s you would see vehicles from 1934-40-46--to whenever year we are at now. The vehicles he has currently are from around 1930, newsflash, vehicles did not look like 1930 by 1934.
I NEEDED MORE ALTENGRAD
What if the big factory became a history museum in the future? It looks big enough for such a thing, plus it's history.
Sure, most old factory buildings will become something else in modern times.
@@Akruas. Certainly wouldn't be the first time that occurred.
Really missed this :)
How about an Altengrad Metro?
Maybe, the first metro line of the city coud be built as a replacement for the tram line that was going through the collapsed bridge.
That would actually make a ton of sense. Huh.
everyone "let my city tell a story"
Akruas "hold my Staropramen, let the building of my city be a story too"
One important question that should be asked and answered and which should determine the future of the city is: In Altengrad storyline...on which side of the Iron Curtain did the city stayed? West or East????
east
@@Akruas oh poor Altengrad 🙈🙈🙈
Question: How do you get started with something like this?
Like I've been wanting to get started with custom builds like this, and I frequently find myself stuck in decision paralysis, not knowing where to start, or even how to achieve a particular vision I have.
So how do you actually learn to do stuff like this?
I can imagine that igloo houses and mushroom houses will appear like in the Maggiolina residential area of Milan
Are you going to build any smaller villages in the surrounding farmlands? Could be a good location for soviet residential blocks too
Love this city and its progression. Will there also be some kind of hug park like Divoká Šárka?
I am going love and hate if you take a beautiful tram/pedestrian bridge, and turn it into a plain modernist 4 lane car road without public transport.

2:55 Siren's bridge in Warsaw built by sappers.
This is such a unique build i love the timeline it never ends the game the new years means new buildings more recent styles and i love that. Whats ur pc spect?
Check the video description.
@@Akruas Okay! I will thanks!
you can build a magnificent park and garden
Are you building miljardprojekt?
I'd be interesting if you destroy a district and leave it as it is. This happened to almost a whole town Kostrzyń nad Odrą
Dancing House should be at the intersection eventually
can we get the map as a download? great work
It's already on my Workshop.
where I can get all the buildings and farmhouses and all the pink things you have, thank you
Will you build like Mosques in the future?
Wahnsinn. Ist das immer noch ein Spiel?
did you remember to change some of the cars driving on the roads to newer ones
He eventually changes them once he is already in the 50s era.
In the 70's you can do the thing my City did and demolish the beatiful gothic townhall and and replace is with an yellow colored abomonation of a skyscraper that nobody wants.
12:33 if altengrad will be in communist block, then this location will be for panel buildings? :3
Not exactly, I may or may not have some infrastructure plans for that place.
@@Akruas. Whatever you choose to do, it will likely be a treat to see.
Altengrad come back miss u
Amazing gob
I would love a Collaboration with Titan for future videos
A little bit of German vibes there lol
He sounds exactly like Dinesh D'Souza. Is it him?
Make a tram view again pls
If the series takes too long, you might be making similar episode of Altengrad in the future
Hopefully not but... well...
maybe you could build some monument near the pleca where tank battle hapened (sorry for shity english)
У него челенж : говорю не переставая говорить...
what if you make it every episode 2 years passes. This episode is 1946 next episode is 1948 and by the end to get to 2022 would take 38 episodes.
Commieblocks! Commieblocks! Commieblocks! Commieblocks!
Что это за версии игры такие не понимаю...
The wooden bridge should stay there through all the Soviet era, as they wouldn't repair it. Then after the war the populist government would.
No? It's not like construction stopped for 40 years, especially for important infrastructure.
@@Akruas I wouldn't have thought the Soviets would try build historic things in that style. They'd more likely build a new bridge.
