I really love this series. The amount of effort put into representing so many cultures and eras is astounding. The amount of creativity and high quality work both in builds and videos is above most other content I have seen. I love seeing how the city evolves and shows different innovations in history, positive and negative. Great work! ❤
The tram stop on The Monastery Island is so cool - with the road geometry that's naturally slowing down the traffic, pedestrian friendly with no underpass. Also loved watching the traffic at the new intersection under The Zieleniak from Gdańsk :D
I just love watching Altengrad develop over time. I'm learning so much of the history as well as it just being fun to watch the city grow over time. Excellent work, Akruas.
I'm as always amazed by the amount of detail and research put into this! Blown away!! If you are open for suggestions: By the end of the 60's/beginning of the 70's, in cities like East Berlin, Moscow, Bratislava, and more, TV towers were popping up, so I would be very curious how Altengrad might look like with one.
Everytime I click on a video of Akruas you just know what you'll get: you're just astonished and you'll always find dozens of ideas for your own city. Thanks for your piece of art
I absolutely love this series. The gradual and detailed transition. The knowledge background of history and realization in cities skylines. Ah this is perfect
The reworked networks are so satisfying. Your content is greatly informative, it's a bliss learning while watching some beautiful cities develop, which is what so special about this series. Great work.
Trams take so much nuance to implement beautifully in cities and the vanilla tools just are not satisfactory enough for my preference. What you did here was just the cherery on top of how good the modding community has made this game. Thanks for the video.
This is so damn realistic and good that I almost didn't click the thumbnail until I read what channel it was because it looked like a real image and not CS. Love this series, been awhile since I've watched an episode ❤
Akruas, I so deeply appreciate the historic background you always describe in detail, and how the city is turning out to look. Even got my boyfriend interested in your series! Stunning work as always!
→ car waiting list: In the 80s (in eastern Germany), my father waited ~ 10 years for a Lada (Soviet-made car) [I guess he started a bit before the beginning of the 80s, as by the end he had it]. During that time he used his motorcycle, and saved the money for the car, so it was not a "pay in advance" then. (It might have been different during the 60s, no idea.) → Tram stop on the middle of the road with car line beside it: That's quite common in eastern Berlin on the medium-sized roads, which wouldn't have enough space for an island tram stop. Nowadays you usually (at least on the busier roads) have a traffic light which makes sure that cars won't enter when the tram is stopping there, back then (and also now in the lower-traffic situations) it was just the rules (you need to stop when a tram is stopping left of you).
I always have so much fun watching these episodes! I work in urban development but recently made the switch to heritage development. It would be really cool if you did an episode on the worst (or accidental) demolitions of historic structures in Altengrad and throughout Eastern Europe. It could make a great connecting episode later when you hit the 2000s when the movement to rebuild some of these lost buildings started to gain traction! There's a lot of great Examples like the Homboldt Forum, the castle in Budapest, etc. It would also be cool to show how these countries managed archeological sites, like maybe altengrad sits on an ancient Roman settlement or fort. Another idea would be using an episode to talk about tourism, since that was a booming industry for both foreign and domestic travelers
I was in the Imperial War Museum in Manchester, UK, today. They had aTribant 61 on display that a government official used. It said most people waited 10-15 years to get one. Crazy timing on this video.
The car boom in Poland in the mid 90s was tied to IIRC reducing the taxes for imported cars, but the taxes were still quite high for complete cars. Private importers found out that cars without the engine were not considered cars, so they took the engines out before crossing the German-Polish border, and then installing them in Poland. There were some interesting things happening with those cars. Usually their production year in the registration was the year of importing. I happen to own such car, it's a Ford Orion made in 1988, but it was imported to Poland in 1997, so it's 9 years newer in the registration papers.
i own a soviet era car, but it was built and made after the fall of the soviet union, its a 1997 LADA 2107 with the biggest possible engine 1.7 injector, even tho the car is post soviet, it still has the exact same body from the USSR
Great work and pretty good documentation! In the GDR it was said: "To Eastern Berlin the best, the leftovers for the rest!" GDR Berlin received the best goods and the latest technologies, while many other cities had to wait...
I absolutely love this series. And I'm always happy to see the city change and develop as the years go by. It really is a living organism you are working on, and probably the most realistic CS build out there. Great work Akruas! Greetings from Warsaw.
Tram Stops where you have to cross the street in front of cars are still quite common in vienna. However they have been adapted: they are now raised that people in wheelchairs can get into low floor trams and now have road markings to indicate cars to stop if there's a tram at the stop. Newer stations have separate islands much like you built in the beginning of the episode.
Definitely the best Cities Skylines Series on youtube. Can't wait for another episode! Just one suggestion: try to decrease the acceleration and braking of the cars it will look even more realistic. They launch like Nissan GTR right now. :)
I would love to see, as it's own video or inside the ending cinematics of a regular one, a first person drive down one of these reworked boulevards. Maybe with the new textures as well, for such a low angle
A guy i know still drives his Trabant. Im german btw, and I love old cars! I would love if you could make a scrap yard for old cars, still keep going, love your vids!
I really wish that you could have a part in the development of CS 2, cause if you did, I think the game would probably look leaps and bounds over whatever they come up with. And yes, I know thats before I even see what they have made.
Great episode as usual! I'm just curious: What's the background noise I'm hearing every time you speak? It's been there for as long as I've been watching your content.
Nice video Akruas!! I have question: Will there be any tram line that will be built like "Rychlá tramvaj" in Brno? Something like line 8 that connects big housing estates Líšeň and Bohunice (newly also Campus square via tram tunnel). This line goes most of its lenght separated from the cars on rails that looks like for a train and the trams are reaching speed of 60kmph. The plan for lines like this were that there would be a tunnel thru the city center due to speed of this trams that eas planned on 80kmph and also to segregate the trams from the cars atc. At the end the line isnt going underground (except few small tunnels under roads) and on some places it goes on the same road as cars. I think it would be nice to see something like this in Altengrad!! Pěkné video Akruasi!! Mám otázku: Bude se stavět nějaká tramvajová trať jako "Rychlá tramvaj" v Brně? Něco jako linka 8, která spojuje velká sídliště Líšeň a Bohunice (nově i Campus square tramvajovým tunelem). Tato linka jede většinu své délky oddělená od automobilů na kolejích, které vypadají jako pro vlak a tramvaje dosahují rychlosti 60 km/h. Plán pro takovéto tratě byl takový, že by byl tunel přes centrum města kvůli rychlosti těchto tramvají, která byla plánována na 80 km/h, a také aby se oddělily tramvaje od aut atd. Nakonec trať nevede pod zemí (kromě několika malých tunelů pod silnicemi) a na některých místech jede i po stejné silnici jako auta. Myslím, že by bylo hezké vidět něco takového v Altengradu!!!
* It was planned that sets of two trams of the Tatra KT8D5 type would be deployed here. * Bylo plánováno že by zde byly nasazeny soupravy dvou tramvají typu Tatra KT8D5.
Yeah, in eastern Europe, magalomaniacal communist regimes built huge highways. They were often cutting through demolished (either by Germans in WW2 or after war by communists) old towns to connect outskirts with city centre. So it was pretty typical
At around the 2min mark I enjoyed your analysis of the various ideological underpinnings of the Car Ownership Question. I can kind of sympathise with both sides, but ultimately I think in many countries the wrong decision was made, which they didn't realise at that time but now we are dealing with the consequences My thinking is always this: Cars, should be for the racing track and the country road. Grocery shopping, hanging out with your friends at the bar, these are jobs for buses and trains. In my ideal utopia, all cars would be MacLaren and Porsche, and all the Toyota Corollas will be replaced by buses
Maybe you could consider building a power plant in Altengrad? In my hometown (Konin) one of the power plants (there are two here) is from the 1960s and I have some photos from around that time that I can share if you are interested
late to the party, I know, but my experience in Austria was probably a little more extensive than other westeners had. We got export models (so the nice ones) and the cars were just atrocious compared to anything else. I was like am unholy alliance of Italian and British carmaking, built by people who didn't give a f. a friend of mine put it like that: a Lada costs a third of a golf, but in the time you have the golf, you'll need 5 ladas. Same for the old Skoda, a friend of your family showed off his brand new car and then proceeded to accidentally rip off the inner door handle. My dad drove around town with a pipe wrench instead of a gear lever in his first car, an old Skoda.
In Poland you needed to wait for your own car or your own apartment in flat ,even 10-20 years . This city looks so postgerman like Gdansk or Wroclaw . Kaliningrad in Russia was totally destroyed and Soviets build a new city
@@jemsyago7163 Not entirely underground. Lots of metro systems have segments, stations and infrastructure above ground, at least here in Europe. Some Eastern European cities, such as Bucharest, are a notable exception (though the metro network is being expanded with above-ground stations)
@@jemsyago7163 Yes, especially if he does construction sites for it. A lot of metro systems in Eastern Europe were built using cut-and-cover methods, it would be interesting to see that here.

With depressing industrial collapse, skycrapers growing in the center of the city. A even bigger boom of car ownership, urban caos, etc...
Yeah and than the change in the 2010s/20s with pedestrian only streets and the building of new modern buildings in the old industry complexes.

Best Citybuilder and I like all your incredible research to the topics.
I wish such road upgrades back then were always as reasonable and respectful for their surroundings as you've shown here. Great video as always!
my toxic trait is thinking i could build something even remotely close to this, just because as you said with mods it's easier nowdays
You’re the best ever. I love the bit of history to your build.

I honestly dont even care about the gameplay.. I just enjoy listening to your history lessons
Crazy how much research you do for these videos
My favourite series on TH-cam is back! great video as always :))
Came for the exceptional gameplay. Stayed for the even better history lesson.
Author why are there no trolleybuses in your city?
Yes that would be cool!
and you can also add a metro cable car and a funicular
