Asturis ep. 1
If the city has a space elevator, it should presumably have a massive aerospace industry. Maybe your equivalent of NASA could have their headquarters near the bay?
This would be an amazing project to see Akruas do a take on
yeah just no rocket launches or anything because well... there is literally a space elevator right there
Such industries are often situated near the airport.
@@mathieugariepy2948 or a big gambling city system
@@mathieugariepy2948 If it's a launch facility you would be more likely to do it many miles away from civilization because of how loud it gets. A rocket launch from a heavy launch vehicle would be something like 110 dB at 15 miles away, which is the equivalent noise level as being at a live rock concert. When thinking of earth as a future space faring civilization, it's generally imagined that launch facilities will be many miles out at sea, where people and payload take trains or boats out to floating launch sites. Although rocket production sites don't launch rockets themselves, they do engine testing which is also pretty loud and which requires road closures to keep people out during testing. You have active tank farms with highly reactive propellant supplying the engines during testing, and you don't want people around if something blows up (which is common).
All this to say that any kind of rocket industry is generally going to set up shop in quite isolated areas. I would imagine a production and engine testing facility on land, but at an isolated spot, and also near a pier so large barges can take the rockets out to the launch sites. The launch sites themselves would be out in the water on something similar to the floating oil rigs of today.
I am a big fan of the aurelia city, surely this kind of futuristic city will cheer me up again after aurelia had just ended a few (weeks or month) ago
Give CitywokCitywall's mars series a look. It will surely be something for you if you're into futuristic cities made in Cities Skylines..
Sorry for the advertisement of other channels
@@PapWhiskyMooMoo thanks for the suggestion, i have already seen it though. I don't know if there is a new episode or not
He's got a lighthouse, but is not going full AC7 with having a extremely hug tunnel that can host both cars, and trains, aswell as the occasional aircraft, and can allow a full sized crane to work safely inside it.
dang, I thought it looks familiar
Too bad but tbh it was quite a pain in the a to fly through it xD
It would be perfect to hear free bird in the background seeing a random jet goes thru a tunnel to the space elevator in this game xD
I clicked as quick as possible the moment I saw the Ace Combat 7 space elevator 😁
I just noticed that
This is a certified ace combat 7 moment
Aurelia was great and I believe Asturis will be even better. Your work is truly amazing, GL!
PS: Zdravím z Česka :-)
Díky :)
Wow!
now we need a mute psychopath flying an F-22 inside of the space elevator
Are you a fan of Ace Combat series? The space elevator looks very similar to the space elevator in AC7. On the other hand, Aurelia is one of the countries in the Ace Combat universe.
That's because it is the Lighthouse. In some shots while he's customizing it, yo can see ISEV.
@@BattleshipOrion oh yeah you're right, the base building is the Lighthouse! I'd love to use it on my own cities. Gonna look for it in the Workshop. Cheers!
Never played/saw it.
@@Akruas Might wanna at least see a play-though so that you'll understand future comments. Just the space elevator alone is a famous building. And no, it does not work like the space center.
@@Akruas
The loading zone for the actual elevator vehicles is a massive artificial cavern beneath the island with rails, cranes and roadways.
I am absolutely in awe of this series already, and it's barely started. You're already distinguished it from Aurelia so much, yet it has that unmistakable Akruas Touch. Those hover-trains work better than they have any right to.
Looking nice! It reminds me of the space elevator from Ace Combat.
This is gorgeous, this series is going to be wonderful
This is awesome. Have you considered having something like tidal planes or mangroves or swamps between the sea and the edge of the water?????? i think those are much more interesting that just a big hard divide, even if its just long beaches past the sea wall with shallow
Yes! I was expeting a much bigger hiatus between Aurelia and your new series! Great news we got a new city with a GREAT start. Congratulations again!
Some Solarpunk elements would be fun too
The cinematics for this episode was so perfect. Have you thought about adding a glass covering over the train station so people don't have to get drenched in the rain? I really love your cities. Great job!!
You should add an arcology, similar to the x seed 4000 or mega-pyramid designs, alongside being futuristic it would allow for extremely high density city planning, and fully walkable cityscapes.
I’m so excited about this city already!! The elevator reminds me of New Mombasa from the halo franchise!
btw the elevator will look like a sundial on the city, it could be a project like putting some number of the hour on the coast of the city so anyone will know the time
I had a vision of kids out playing and using the shadow of the space elevator for their games.
Thank you for finally doing a space elevator!!! Super excited for this series; you are my favorite Cities TH-camr and I genuinely look forward to everything you create. Thank you for the great videos!
Really Outstanding Work. The fact that it’s one big tower with trains leading up to it makes it remind me of Scarif from Rogue One.
I was a huge fan of Aurelia, I really enjoyed you building that city, so I was sad and disappointed that Aurelia ended, and I wasn't going to watch this one out of petty spite. But this looks awesome. I'm in!
Those floating train rings look so good!
I love the way the colors pop in the cinematics
Akraus is the master of PO. I don't know of anyone else that has such command over it or even uses it as much. Everything is custom and that's bananas.
aurelia: dystopia
asturis: utopia
keep up the good work!!!
as every good city designer knows the first thing you must get going in a city is not proper infrastructure or amenities like schools and healthcare... but an elevator to SPACE!! Elon would be proud!
I think they should also have emergency services there too. Also, I think you should have something to recognize the first human settlers of the planet. Maybe a wall of the people who devoted themselves to making this planet home for humans. Add that to the spaceport as an attraction maybe later on as your city grows. Maybe turn the original survival capsules into a museum of some kind. Maybe have some of the first drones as well. And maybe name the city after it's founder. But that's just my opinion.
It felt like aurelia was a late 90s/early 2000s idea of the near future I really liked that! This already feels like a early 2010s/modern idea of the future
This is looking really good. To be honest I like the bolder colors, they make everything look much bolder and much more clear. Can't wait for next week and future builds!!
So excited about this new city. You keep pushing the limits of the game.
I can’t wait to see more of this project, also i have a question, this city is located in the same universe where Aurelia exist? If yes, they’re located in the same time period? or they are distant in their chronology?
i think, yes, because this city is sister of aurelia
@@Maxemad oh really? I didn't know
@@solarium7887 there's an episode #0
@@danbstep damn i didn't know that for real 😭
Probably a bit more in the future.
aaaaargh! that procedural eyecandy!!! Love those flying trains! The CS wizard strikes again!
no jet-worthy tunnel connecting the depths of the elevator with the land? HERESY
lmao
I'm also using a space elevator as the basis for my city. Really looking forward to seeing what you have planned.
This is what we have all been waiting for. Every cities skylines player has something they can learn from you
This series is already shaping out to be incredible. Cannot wait for more!
You know, the design reminds me of the space elevator in ace combat
This city & map seems like a great opportunity to really explore arcology. I would love to see what your talent and imagination can do with that. Thank you for sharing!
Love the halo style space elevator.
If you want to see more of this particular tether, it's named The Lighthouse and it's a major location/maguffin in the game _Ace Combat 7,_ much like the Mombasa Uplift is to _Halo._
This is art
Excited for the new series!
Akruas is the kinda guy that would accidentally create black holes just for a city.
One moment we have a neighborhood, the other moment it's diminished to a single vertex.
I never comment, but i'm just so really happy to see a new series from you. hope you will enjoy making it as much as we will devour your content; just keep going love your content.
It looks astonishing👍
*erusea has joined the chat*
👀 "Oi, you got a loicense for that loighthouse m8?"
Dude, I am so excited for this. Haven't even started the vid yet.
ah yes, ace combat space elevator... i like this already
*Erusea has entered*
thank you for a new futuristic city, i loved to watch aurelia grow. :)
Incredible start!
Already better than the halo show lol
great job w this city! love this one already!! i would like to suggest you making some of the park pieces of the elevator some kind of a comercial/market/plaza, so that we see people going in and out and using the space outside the elevator!! keep up the great job, love your videos!!
This is stupidly exciting. If it comes out anything like the level of detail that Aurelia did, I'm going to love this series! Will you ever release Aurelia for download to be able to view it in close up detail?
Nice!
You set a really high bar for yourself with Aurelia and Altengrad, but somehow you keep exceeding expectation. Well done my friend! - HAVVKZ
Yes, warm and bright colors can change the whole vibe. Discovered you from Aurelia and I am excited for the new map!
Dude I just realised its like Anno 2070 (Aurelia) and Anno 2205 (Asturis)
Wow that Looks amazing
I have watched Aurelia city from the start and never missed an episode ! I know with this one it s gonna be the same ! Just love it
quick note, cruise ships CAN bring in regular citizens.
Welcome mortal to The Imperial City, the capital city of Cyrodiil and the Septim Empire. Located on the City Isle in the midst of Lake Rumare in the Heartlands it is visible from many miles mainly due to White-Gold Tower which is looming over the city. The Ayleid-built city consists of a total of ten districts. Six of them are arranged in a circle around the central Palace District. The remaining three are located outside the main city walls. A vast sewer system interconnected with ruined Ayleid structures run under the city. :)
This some new type of art ,wonderful job
So excited for this series!
Beautiful and inspiring. I hope to live in a future like this. 😊
Fucking love your theme and idea for this city.
super cool
I am so excited for this series!!
Now you just need an arsenal bird lol
Can't wait for it
Aurelia was already a blast and now this with the amazing Flying trains mod and assets which I wanted to try so much but is probably too much for my PC so I couldn't but it looks soooooo amazing
I knew it. Space elevators are cool.
I love this series! i know its only episode 1 but its so awesome! your so good at building! I love the idea of a futuristisk city to! I love futuristic things! Very Nice city so far! 9.98/10
I would pay a patreon subscription for like a master class step-by-step tutorial series on how tf you do this stuff, what mods you're using to do it, assets and stuff. I imagine it would be hella tedious but I bet I'm not the only one that would pay to see it!
Or you can just go to my streams. Also mod collection is in the video description.
@@Akruas I'm new here, I fell through the TH-cam rabbit hole to stumble across you! But thanks, I will :)
Starting this series with a bang, a space elevator no less... And for sure it would be a proper founding step for a city on the land.
Surely the large city would come first?
A project as massive as an orbital tether would need a huge amount of resources and that's just what cities are, concentrated resources.
Love the new series!
I'm already in love with this series and it's only ep. 1... 😁
That space elevator in from ace combat 7 how do I now cause I have the game my self
This is very, very cool. Keep up the good work!
fantastic ideas
Looking really interesting 👌
So excited for this!
This is such a cool idea!!
maybe you can add some structure city like a selatapura port city (Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown reference)
This is so cool
So great to be watching your project growing right from the beginning
Hyped whats gonna come👍👍
This guy, so incredible
7:40 I *need* to know what the ploppable cubes are called. I looked at your modlist but I can't find them in the list and I don't think you say the name anywhere in the video. It's going to drive me nuts lol
steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/?id=2066406432
This is so exiting! I cant wait for what comes next, it already has a great start! I do wonder if you are still figuring out what you will use for background music because i felt it was missing.
I'd love to see platform screen doors between the train and the platform, would look more time appropriate to protect people from the trains
Skylines wizardry
Very much tomorrow land vibes from the sound of it
Looks like elevator from Ace Combat
It do indeed be Lighthouse.
AMAZING
Are you still playing Cities Skylines? It looks completly different! Good job!
Yo he's got the ac7 space elevator
Nice one. By the way, if you ever want to build a futuristic airport again, look up the concept of a circular airport.
If there is cables attached to the three peninsulas to the space elevator bit for stability ,it would be more realistic
realistic ...
lets hope the arsenal bird doesn't get stolen again
Cool! 👍🏾😎
Hello, im from Indonesia
i really like your job on the CS
Cyberpunk 👍
Is Like the Jakob Elevator!
