That harbor build just blows the others out of the water. Pun intended. I mean no slight to the others, they are lovely cities, but that Harbor is just nuts!
Wow! So many cool 1h builds. My fav is proably the La Plata based one. Love to look at that town so much on maps. Great work El Glendo! Edit: Oh man but Reiks harbors are really neat too and PP's classic central park. Now im conflicted. Congrats guys on excellent builds!
Im groundZero. I got confused on what visual enhancers meant and assumed it was mods that dint affect the simulation (find it does but i dint plop anything and intended to plop stones on the coastline but dint have time). But regardless im fine with getting disqualified as using find it could mean i used it, would be ridicolus to have someone audit 1hr of gameplay. I really apreciate you showcasing my city even though i broke the rules it really made my day 😄😄 Sidenote i gotta disagree with bending the rules of going to the other island because you never stated anywhere that it was against the rules or was a cheese tactic w😛😛
Nope. I've discussed this on stream a few times, but the two worlds collided a bit and I felt that i was becoming a distraction at work with the YT channel. Post channel, I'll likely go back to school with an aim to teach in the future.
@@CityPlannerPlays In a week I'll start my first job as a spatial planner and I learnt a lot from your channel! Absolutely love how you try to restrain from eminent domain and the inclusion of the city residents roleplay in Magnolia County, because planning is mostly about coordinating people and managing expectations, its not just building roads.😘
Based on what you said at the end, this seems unlikely, but I'd love to see a challenge that is purely to do with getting X stat as high as possible. Although I admire how this challenge was designed to be full of difficult decisions, I feel that we need something for _that_ type of person. I am absolutely suggesting this out of the kindness of my heart and not because i have worked out the mathematically optimal one-tile population challenge strategy. In other words, embrace the cheese tactics - _let the cheese wars begin._ edit - I'd like to clarify that i'm not against twists - i am, in fact, all for them - I am only referring to creative twists or things down to opinion.
19:16 It's just the time simulation was running. If you pause the game and then do landscaping and detailing you can't figure out. But if they still did it within an hour, this city is very impressive!
In the future require an un-edited video that shows the entire build. You wouldn't have to watch all 60 min of every video, just make sure the timestamp on the video coincides with what was presented.
6:54 La Plata is the capital of Buenos Aires (the state) not Argentina! The capital of Argentina is Buenos Aires (the state) or CABA (Autonomous City of Buenos Aires) LOL confusing
22:00 That makes me think about a something I did not even notice before ... where is off Shore Wind Paradox? CS1 had it from the start ... (I suppose that windpark is supposed to be offshore wind ... )
We need to do more of these as a community. Genuinely love the differences and workarounds. It feels exciting to me, these types of challenges. I don't know why, but I want more 😅
CPP, Have you looked at the pedestrian bridge mod at all? I am really interested in adding it to my mod list but am still concerned about the issues surrounding custom assets still.
Tbf to GroundZero the mods used while against the rules weren't anything crazy, although I'm sure FindIt! was a great time-saver and rightfully disqualified, glad it was included in the video though, definitely a deserved mention
FYI I encouraged growth by subsiding residential taxes at -10% for most of the build time. I only boosted it up to 30% at the end because I wanted to see if I could balance the budget.
Thank you so much for posting your attempt as a video and thank you CPP for collecting the videos in a Playlist. My first attempt were not more than 4000 people but after watching you video I was pretty excited. Without your video I wouldn't have tryed it again but then I wanted to beat your population. And succeeded 😁 Submission #3 was built by me.
Very cool cities! There's a lot to like in all of them, different bits from each. Love the new water tower as a lighthouse especially. I was super please with myself getting to almost 13k pop in my attempt, but also recognized that I was totally outclassed. That took me a few tries. I thought my port would be a great feature, but Reik's really blows it out of the park with the break waters and details in his. Also interesting to see hardly any specialized industries - guess they're just a waste of time when trying to build big fast. Thanks for running the challenge! Look forward to the next one :)
I love that you're doing things to help build up the game's community and appreciate that you've put in links for the participants who've posted videos.
Reiks City is really impressive. It has the highest population AND looks the best / most natural (at least to me). Oh...and Sunday is the 24th not the 21. (description) 😉
Amaaazing! Perhaps if the constraint is time, it makes sense to have the time as being the ingame time, meaning you can pause and think, but manage your money enough make it still work?
All of these are absolutely incredible 👏👏👏 I could spend a week and still not come even close to what they achieved in an hour! Well done to everyone! 🔥🔥🔥
If this game ever comes to console, you need to release this challenge again so we can have a go at it as well 👍 And of course, you would need to do it on console too 😉
I love this game but I wish Paradox would fix all the tearing that happens with stuff like roads and paths. I don't want to see the Upside Down anymore
I was going enter into this challenge, but time had other issues, then when I got some free time. I was having a weird new issue with the game. The weird issue for Cities skylines II, I’ve gotten now is when I lose Internet and discord starts to crash, and then Cities Skylines II crashes into a weird state.
So cool that Newfoundland is mentioned!!! I am from that island and it's also pronounces New-fin-land with the emphasis on "New" and "Land" not "found." But it's a common mistake, and I know at this point your not the best at pronunciation 🤣
@CityPlannerPlays Sweet, I definitely will! If I win, I'll have to get the rest of a rig to put the graphics card in (I play on a laptop atm), but I guess I'll burn that bridge if I get to it. 🤣
cheating is cheathing. Rule 1 = one island. #4 and #5: you're out. #2 = no transit at all #1 = only trams. Leaves #3 as a clear winner (to me) >> Ring road and seperation for accesroads to the homes, all edges of the island have houses, energy and industry well placed. Loved the winding road up the hill. One remark: I would move the trainstation 'up' and placed it 'south' of 11:38 = closer to town and people.
@@Keikdv Nice to read your comment. #3 was built by me. This was my 3rd attempt. At first I wanted to make the German train station the main building in the middle of the city, but this asset is too large for that island. So I wanted to build a French city around the French train station but things went a bit different due to the commercial and office demand.
Wind has little impact on sound. Though a pressure wave should technically be carried through the fluid in which it propagates. I hypothesize the Doppler effect may be observed at high wind speeds. I imagine it's actually quite negligible IRL.
Wait, if you're verifying the "one hour challenge" by the in game date, doesn't that mean people could take a lot more time than one hour with all that you can still do while the game is paused? I was curious how the "one hour" part would be enforced without users recording their run.
@@justinsinke2088 yeah this makes me wondering if the #5 was built within an hour. Mine is #3 and it was really hard to achieve this size of the city. Actually, It was my 3rd attempt, in the 1st attempt I had not much more than 4000 population. What I can say is the more often you built the city the faster you will be. If the #5 was really built within an hour, he/she has all of my respect. It looks so awesome!
@@l.h.1545 the thing im most suspicious of is how they managed to get high density hosuing as that is only gotten at level 8. In my run (im groundzero) i dint even reach level 8 and you also need time to let them grow. I dont think they cheated and i really would have loved to see how they managed to pull it off
I really wanted to submit a city to the challenge, but my game has started crashing every few minutes. I've tried everything I can think of to fix it, but no luck. It is unplayable for me right now...
The proper pronunciation of Newfoundland is "newfundlund" or "newfundland" much like many British place names, the "found" is not pronounced like it would be as a separate word
Probably a mod conflict, unfortunately. First thing I’d do is get Skype and clone your playset though. Sometimes that fixes issues for me, the new playset.
So I'm curious, fess up for the audience. I'm seeing all you major CS youtubers putting out lots of these city showcase videos for CS2. Are you being paid for this? It just seems rather convenient you all started to put these videos out around the same time. Doesn't make a difference to me if you are, I'm just curious if Paradox is trying to drum up interest in CS2 because if they are I think this is a good way of going about it.

More usefull than the Eiffel tower too

La Platita map is the best map in this video!
@@CityPlannerPlays it was my duty as an argentinian hahaha. Nice to see a city build inspired in my country though!
Sos argentino y decis que CABA es la capital de Argentina????? JAJAJAJAJA Madre mia! Buenos Aires es la capital...
The capital of Argentina is Buenos Aires, not the ciudad autónoma de buenos aires.
I wished Imperatur would do a submission. He's a beast.
Not enough time to lay down 8000000 stain decals lol. His new tile at a time series is awesome

I’m glad I tried this challenge out for myself, I had no idea how hard building this quickly AND aesthetically is, well done to the top 5!
Yeah. Same I think I hit something like 4,4k on my try.
Are you still working as a City Planner full time?
That's a very good question 👀
Nope. I've discussed this on stream a few times, but the two worlds collided a bit and I felt that i was becoming a distraction at work with the YT channel. Post channel, I'll likely go back to school with an aim to teach in the future.

Newfoundland and Corner Brook mentioned! Great to see a city based on my home! Thanks Reik and Phil.
Been to Corner Brook, I can see the inspiration in Reik's build. The paper factory's even in a similar location! Nicely done.
The way you pronounced Newfoundland hurt
Yeah, it got to me so bad I actually had to come here and leave a comment, haha.
Oh god, my heart really is pumping now!
Was a really fun thing to do, i'm glad you liked!!!
PD: I have a video, but is in spanish =/
I loved your city!!!
@MonkeyBurrito Thank you!
As someone who has no idea what im doing in this game and has a mortal enemy in traffic, i love your videos!!
Reik's build is truly impressive! Not so much of the high population count, but mostly due to the creative yet functional design!
Can Biffa come through and do some traffic fixes on these coties now please?

I’m torn between La Platita and Reik. I think La Platita has a better city overall though. Tough choice.
Wow!!! Super impressive builds; Imagination, industrious & most of all, super cooool :)
Thanks CPP for sharing & caring ;)
Well done to all submissions. They each had something to recommend them. I voted for Reik, but really liked elGendo87 too!

Really impressive builds by everyone. These would all take me a day to create!
Such a great group of builds. Good job everyone!
I never thought I'd see a man from Wisconsin say "no cheese"
Fabulous challenge, can't wait to see the cities created next year.

Shame this one coincided with a business trip but there are some damn talented builders out there
Btw there are a few video links in the comments of your initial post of the playlist that haven’t been added to the playlist yet 😉
I wonder how many practiced making 1 hour cities to prep for this... lol
