"I've always had a pretty good idea of what I was going to build here, but when I started building, man, it took a very different turn!" 😂 This should be the tag line for your channel!
My lore on this area is that it was once an insignificant forested area when Dundee was once a lone town. But during the 20th century and the completion of Dundee Bridge, the area quickly develop but was less historical than Downtown Dundee. So the locals just call it “The Westsides” in reference how it quickly develop but too artificial for it to deserve an unique name. Love you, $2.20!
My two cents? Whatever name you end up with, it needs a "head" or "point" affixed to it. Ooh, Matilda Point? Matilda Bay? Something to do with waltzing? Final point, Devonport in Auckland's got a small naval base..? Maybe you could add in a small navy boat and a dry dock, perhaps?
I'm not sure about which direction this is, but I think just South/East/North/West Dundee is a suitable name. Don't need to all crazy! That highway you showed from Sydney horrified me, and I'm incredibly eager to see it come to life in Dundee too!
Simcity musics are masterclasses on their own, the game is shit, but sometimes I still play it because of the kind of cozy ambiance you get when you play. I also find that the Sims's daily routine is much more present in Simcity (nobody in the streets at night appart from around casinos, at 7am everyone goes at their working place, then in the afternoon they go shopping, etc) Which makes the game really nice when you just wanna sit and watch your "city" (more like a square of skyscrapers) live. And I like that ! You don't find that logic that much in C:S, I think they should implement it, it really adds life.
Really digging this episode. It feels almost refreshing to see you doing another location and building it up, but the knowledge of just a rotated camera is the fullest of Dundee. It's gonna be so cool to see it all linked together
Like it a lot. The on/off ramps in the middle of the highway look a bit strange but that's because the map is left-hand drive and it's not something we see a lot of here in the UK. For the future, maybe mansions high on the hillside overlooking the bay, the posh side of town, and maybe a bit of a park with viewing platform? I think the Strauss Road Bridge (animated) would work well on the breakwater road, especially with a ferry going through it. Nice job
I know this isn't related to Canada at all, but there are some point tower assets on the workshop you could use for the skyline. I think they would match if not perfect. Maybe right next to the highway. Also Vancouver has a building regulation where the buildings cannot be a certain height so they don't cover the mountain backdrop. Great episode, I've been waiting for this area to be built on, it was screaming it.
19:27 About this part: Really enjoyed watching this video and having it the background while working. Kept it on the second screen the whole time while sewing and definitely checking out more of your channel.
Local 'Shore Boy' here, regarding a name for the area. I grew up in a suburb called Glenfield on the North Shore, which prior to European arrival was known as Kaipātiki (Kai-par-tea-key) which translates into english as flounder. It was so called because all of the muddy estuaries in the area meant flounder was plentiful and it was the main source of food in the area. Hence why when you began adding in the rivers/estuaries I thought a name like Kaipātiki or Kaipātiki Bay would be perfect for the area.
Oceania is one of my favorite city skylines series ever. You are so talented and the whole map is beautiful. What if the city across from Dundee has a similar name like Lunlee or Vunvee. Again, amazing work!
Personally loving the idea of more suburbs. I'm guessing something less historical than Dundee proper, but still pretty old. Cities skylines builds always skimp on the suburbs.
The new place should be a part of Dundee only, it would be too close for a new city. Also I like the old bridge by the country side which was changed into the 2 lane highway 3:22, really hope it comes back
Honestly I think it makes the most sense to have that place across the river to be a part of Dundee, because otherwise the density of Dundee doesn't make a ton of sense. And making it a different town would make the place look more like Atlanta and less like "Oceania"
I would love to see an extension of Downtown Dundee but maybe with a more historic, low-rise business and shopping district with a couple high-rise appartments and town houses towards the Bay Area. Love your videos and can’t wait to see what you’ll do with Dundee. Edit: I think something like the interior of the Melbourne CBD would look cool for this side of Dundee, similar to the areas along Elizebeth, Collins, and Russel Street with elements from a colonial architecture style, with some residential scattered throughout.
Sim City music get me 10year old flashback, when i think that i have the nicest city and then come cities skylines a i was absolutely amazed how good the game is
I find it sad to see the wooden bridge gone, although you often try to immitate the old roads/connections still being around ( 3:15 ). Maybe you could put it back in, but slightly moved from the new (updated) bridge :)
A zoo would be cool, Perth and Sydney both have zoos on the opposite side of the river/bay from the CBD and they both have a ferry line that basically exist just to cater to the tourists going to the zoo. Or maybe even a big park with good views of Dundee, that would be pretty cool too.
I feel like a different city would fell more belonging than suburbs for this region. And for the name, it could be something like Hempshire Bays. It could originally be focused on the growing and manufacturing of Hempseeds, creating a small port on the bay (converted into a marina in modern days) to commercialize their products easier. The Shire them reorganized it’s economy within negotiations with Dandee for making the whole region one unified city, but the negotiations failed and Hempshire Bays is currently trying to solve its exodus for lacking of labor by investing in the technology sector, building a big Research Center midtown and firming contracts with Dandee’s University. Just a little lore I thought of. Be free to use it if you like it
Absolutely love this new style of editing and direction you're going. I think the zoo would be an awesome idea, especially a bayside zoo like the Toranga Zoo. I also think you should incorporate a nature reserve into your build around this side going into the mountains, taking inspiration from the hillside reserves around Auckland. And maybe this is just me, but I think a drawbridge over the key you just built would allow sailboats to pass through if you decide to build a marina.
me, from Boston, seeing a cable stayed bridge across a wide inlet, leading to a city shoved onto a set of hilly land with random jut-outs, and known for it's ridiculously complex roads: "hmm yes very familiar"
The old wood bridge at 3:20 should be kept as a walking bridge and the new bridge should be off centre to the left or right of it. Very common in regional areas to just build along side the old and then disconnect it.
An idea for the area is to put one or two more sports stadiums because I know that some cities has one stadium in the downtown area and one in the suburbs like in San Francisco and Chicago for an example. Also I think taking the San Francisco Bay area for inspiration would be cool.
Network Multitool has a better slope tool than MoveIt. MoveIt just looks at the distance in a straight line between the points furthest away from each other, which means that the sloping is only accurate for straight paths. NMT looks at the distance along the path, which makes it accurate for curved roads as well. The only benefit of MoveIt’s slope tool is that you can use it for objects other than networks as well.
Your dedication to this channel is outstanding....I have went through a couple burnouts with the game but you just keep building and that in and of it self is inspiring and why I remain subscribed..I feel like I lived in Oceania at some point..
In the second downtown or on the other side, what about an expo/convention center? I'm sure it can double as an urban/professional center and as a rural expo/country fair. Or otherwise some sort of festival grounds. Reckon with that much space it can be a good filler. And like other people have alluded to, some sort of military infrastructure (albeit small, this isn't a huge island or nation with massive geopolitical ties.) Or perhaps a sporting port/marina to contrast with the commercial port, perhaps close to some rich suburbs so that the aristocracy can get a fix of rapidly-depreciating-asset turned maritime amusement?
It would be great to name the area next to Dundee after Australian native names, like Wollongong just south of Sydney! Currently there’s only English-inspired names around Oceania and this new town can be a bit more unique from the rest of the map
Yeah I always found the highway system in Sydney so confusing when I checked it out on Google Earth. The only substantial motorway system I have much real life experience with is Auckland's which is far simpler.
My idea of this series is that Oceania is like a single (yet diverse) australian state, in which there's a massive capital city and other cities are significantly smaller. So I think that this expansion should be a part of Dundee.
yessss finally! I knew we need a huge expansion at some point and by the way, I think it should be part of Dundee rather than something different because I think the city is wildly out of scale in comparison to the downtown
Dunno why but that little breakwater/bridge thing you built reminded me of Tom Uglys bridge down off Blakehurst/Sylvania for some reason, they're nothing really alike but for some reason it gives me the same feeling. The little windy road through the valley, kind of like into the Blue Mountains? For the rail thing, check out the rail line through the Hawksbury, caught that to and from Sydney to Newcastle a few times going on the water front there is really quite pretty. Also, lol yeah the expressway over the harbour bridge is BS, thank god for trains IMO.
Hobart has another city over the river and it’s still sort of part of the city but not because it goes all the way out and the major highway goes through it and out to the east coast
Haha, you took inspiration from my home area North Shore, Auckland. I haven't finished the video, but I will be judging you @two dollars twenty on how it looks compared to the North Shore.
To be honest, I really like how the new area is going, some suggestions for the new area are that in Auckland if there is water there is a dock/marina, boat ramps are everywhere and the government likes to make everything that has a plant a reserve. Overall try looking maybe at Devonport, specifically at the shops area near the water for inspiration also.
Could you incorporate harbour side bushland areas like Balls Head near North Sydney. I think one thing in Sydney atleast that rlly makes the north shore stand out from the south is the amount of bushland areas scattered along the coastal suburbs and seperating suburbs such as Greenwich and Wollstonecraft.
I don't know how it'd work in-game but in real life there's a reserve on Auckland's north shore called North Head, a volcanic cone that was turned into a coastal fort in the Victorian era. Maybe it'd look good in-game and perhaps give Dunners a bit more history?
A couple of days ago I thought to myself man I can’t wait till two dollars twenty finally starts building on the other side of the bay/bridge it’s gonna be sick. Then I wake up and see this video I’m so excited
the way American cities are organized the settlement on the other side of the bay would probably be a separately governed twin town. One that takes pride in the urban legend of the massive hill that once resided where storytellers are sitting telling the legend
Maybe for the coastline train route, maybe it can branch off the metro line and it could be express line purely for linking towns? Like amtrak in america.
I mean, the suburb of Dundee could be called called "Yarramundi" since it is based off mostly Sydney (Yarramundi was the tribal leader of the tribe around Sydney and in Sydney)
The music reminded me of sims city 😂 and btw love the series! Can’t wait to see what you build! But I’d say they you should combine them! It would look so good!!
I think a cool name for the new area might be Tarntanyangga, its Kaurna Aboriginal for meeting place and I think Dundee metropolitan area could do with some more Aboriginal names.

Final point, Devonport in Auckland's got a small naval base..? Maybe you could add in a small navy boat and a dry dock, perhaps?
Agree with the "head" or "point"
I understand you’re trying to emulate Waltzing Matilda but it literally means sheep 🐑
Matilda Bay is a real place in Perth :)
How did u comment a day ago?
@@darkbin180 patrons get early access to videos😁
I'm not sure about which direction this is, but I think just South/East/North/West Dundee is a suitable name. Don't need to all crazy!
That highway you showed from Sydney horrified me, and I'm incredibly eager to see it come to life in Dundee too!
maybe even new Dundee, like new Belgrade for example (even tho it's part of Belgrade)
I like the idea of North/east/south/west.
God, some of the nostalgia when listening to the Simcity music. Kinda miss those!
Exactly the same on my side! The theme music omg...
Simcity musics are masterclasses on their own, the game is shit, but sometimes I still play it because of the kind of cozy ambiance you get when you play. I also find that the Sims's daily routine is much more present in Simcity (nobody in the streets at night appart from around casinos, at 7am everyone goes at their working place, then in the afternoon they go shopping, etc)
Which makes the game really nice when you just wanna sit and watch your "city" (more like a square of skyscrapers) live. And I like that ! You don't find that logic that much in C:S, I think they should implement it, it really adds life.
I found it ironic to use the music from the worst sim city to use fot the best city building game 😂
Wait i thought I heard some old-school runescape music as well
2:45 "Definitely a slow road; a scenic drive"
Car enthusiasts are about to do a lil bit of speeding 🤫🧐
I can hear the phonk already 😏
The SimCity music!!!! So awesome! Would love to see a SimCity 4 series
Really digging this episode. It feels almost refreshing to see you doing another location and building it up, but the knowledge of just a rotated camera is the fullest of Dundee. It's gonna be so cool to see it all linked together

I think the Strauss Road Bridge (animated) would work well on the breakwater road, especially with a ferry going through it. Nice job
Great stuff as always. That break wall bridge was a really nice touch 👌
New format is great,
Oh wow thank you! I’ve never had one of these before. You’re a legend!
@@twodollarstwenty never done it before either, didn't realize it would make a comment 😂
I know this isn't related to Canada at all, but there are some point tower assets on the workshop you could use for the skyline. I think they would match if not perfect. Maybe right next to the highway.
Also Vancouver has a building regulation where the buildings cannot be a certain height so they don't cover the mountain backdrop.

Watching this on a dark rainy Thursday morning, with a hot coffee, and listening to the nostalgic sim city type music is truly comforting.
Waking up earlier on Saturday to watch another Oceania episode is totally worth it!
Agreed

Loved the SIM City 4 music over the video. Great progress again. I envy your talent
Topography looks on point.. Cannot wait for it to be what it will be!
I dont really have something to say but man do I love the Oceania series!
Also the simcity music activated some old memories :)
Dude, simcity music hits with a nostalgia but also terror
Awesome episode. It’s so exciting to see so many possibilities opening up. Love the music, too.
I love the music from simcity

Edit: I think something like the interior of the Melbourne CBD would look cool for this side of Dundee, similar to the areas along Elizebeth, Collins, and Russel Street with elements from a colonial architecture style, with some residential scattered throughout.
The other side should be named Crocodile Point or Head, just to make sure that Crocodile Dundee gets the recognition he deserves.
Sim City music get me 10year old flashback, when i think that i have the nicest city and then come cities skylines a i was absolutely amazed how good the game is
You should build a local tourist attraction like a zoo or a waterpark over there to see daytime traffic going to the other side of the river
Yes
I find it sad to see the wooden bridge gone, although you often try to immitate the old roads/connections still being around ( 3:15 ). Maybe you could put it back in, but slightly moved from the new (updated) bridge :)

I was getting a St Petersburg/Tampa vibe from the other side. Maybe a name like Callahan Bay?

11:57 Theres a similar motorway system in Auckland, I believe it’s called spaghetti junction for the same reasons.
Yeah I always found the highway system in Sydney so confusing when I checked it out on Google Earth. The only substantial motorway system I have much real life experience with is Auckland's which is far simpler.
check out Lisbons train line along the river! I use it often and it’s got very good views, and at times it can be packed.
I always loved the simcity background music

I think it needs a separate name but be under the Dundee banner.
Edit: also the key with the trees remind me of Lake Geneva in Wisconsin
This area could be called Warritah. hence the the name of Warritah bay
This new bridge looks really cool :D
Haha, you took inspiration from my home area North Shore, Auckland. I haven't finished the video, but I will be judging you @two dollars twenty on how it looks compared to the North Shore.
Call it Broughty Ferry. It's a neighbourhood next to Dundee (Scotland)
To be honest, I really like how the new area is going, some suggestions for the new area are that in Auckland if there is water there is a dock/marina, boat ramps are everywhere and the government likes to make everything that has a plant a reserve. Overall try looking maybe at Devonport, specifically at the shops area near the water for inspiration also.
I vote for Irwin's Point. Yes that's a triple meaning buried in there.
Could you incorporate harbour side bushland areas like Balls Head near North Sydney.
I think one thing in Sydney atleast that rlly makes the north shore stand out from the south is the amount of bushland areas scattered along the coastal suburbs and seperating suburbs such as Greenwich and Wollstonecraft.
You should add that lift bridge from your New Orleans inspired series at that quay bridge you built this episode.
I don't know how it'd work in-game but in real life there's a reserve on Auckland's north shore called North Head, a volcanic cone that was turned into a coastal fort in the Victorian era. Maybe it'd look good in-game and perhaps give Dunners a bit more history?
A couple of days ago I thought to myself man I can’t wait till two dollars twenty finally starts building on the other side of the bay/bridge it’s gonna be sick. Then I wake up and see this video I’m so excited
This just came in my head a few seconds ago but you can call the new city Orley if you want.
Name it Wallaby Way as a nice Finding Nemo reference! If you can get 42 in there somewhere, bonus points!
Absolutely love the content! Keep it up!
5:45 that looks like the map of India and Bangladesh
You should name it new Dundee
the way American cities are organized the settlement on the other side of the bay would probably be a separately governed twin town.
One that takes pride in the urban legend of the massive hill that once resided where storytellers are sitting telling the legend
Yay the city is expanding!
I think you should call it West Dundee or something similar
I think it would be cool if the lower part of the land bridge was a scenic walkway for pedestrians-like a boardwalk
I mean you could call the area Newport on …. (The rivers name) as in real Dundee, the town at the other side of the bridge is called Newport on Tay
Of course the first thing to be done is add the services destroyed back in somewhere. Perhaps a water treatment complex. Hospital is a good idea.
the other side of the bay city should be called Deedun
Such kind of episodes reminds me of marble mountain 🥰
I am new to this channel, and your videos have really inspired me to play cities again.
Great to hear! Thanks for watching
The moutan pass from city to outskirts reminds me gta 5 map i think you could snag a lot of ideas from it
Maybe for the coastline train route, maybe it can branch off the metro line and it could be express line purely for linking towns? Like amtrak in america.
This is such a cool city!
BTW i think you should call the new city coaroo port or something like that
That highway intersection looks dangerous af.
I would realy like to see a cruise terminal somewhere. Maybe with a ship asset placed there
You make city skyline look easy
I mean, the suburb of Dundee could be called called "Yarramundi" since it is based off mostly Sydney (Yarramundi was the tribal leader of the tribe around Sydney and in Sydney)
Call it outer dundee area like in vancouver canada where we have the outer areas called greater or outer vancouver
The music reminded me of sims city 😂 and btw love the series! Can’t wait to see what you build! But I’d say they you should combine them! It would look so good!!
I think if you're taking inspiration from North Shore in Auckland, definitely Bayswater is great name to go for
I think a cool name for the new area might be Tarntanyangga, its Kaurna Aboriginal for meeting place and I think Dundee metropolitan area could do with some more Aboriginal names.
I would like the name Carginoari or Comborrah or something like that. Looking forward to this.
Can u please use some inspiration from qld and brisbane
How can I remove the dirts along the network roads etc? Thanks!
The Sim City theme reminds me of my early 20s
"North Dundee" would be a great name for it:)
Even though you said you're not going to do a zoo, perhaps the other side of the city could be Irwin Point or Irwin Bay.
The actual city of Dundee is located next to the river Tay. So maybe you could name it something like tayside.
Love the videos keep it up buddy👍
simcity 4 soundtrack? my man! ❤️
this looks so goodd!!!
