That's the nicest start to a vanilla city i've seen in a long time. Instead of just slapping everything in and sorting it out later, leaving the gaps for detailing and parks etc is a much better idea. It looks great, can't wait to see how this city progresses.
I know I'm not a Patreon member but I have two suggestions. Firstly, that little castle Island should be a fairground or casino complex, with lots of nightlights and colour. Secondly, with all these rivers downtown I'd love to see ferries replace some bus lines or other public transportation.
As an idea for people that doesn’t want to mass delete industry later. Try placing 3x3 areas and let them spawn in. You get cute little buildings without the nasty tall ones. Great start OE ❤
@burjalmadre By 3x3, I believe they mean this: Maximum-size buildings are 4x4, meaning four cells by four cells. This will get you large industrial, residential, or commercial facilities that may reach upwards in an unrealistic or sometimes immersion-breaking way. 3x3 buildings, or three cells by three cells, forces buildings to be marginally smaller. Their capacity for workers or residents decreases, but you get models that you typically don't see and are more reflective of a non-rural city >20,000 population, especially for industry. These models also tend to be wicked cute and are still functional. I hope this helped! ^_^
@@two2truths To elaborate on Cleaver's explanation, the trick to zoning in a lot of a specific size of building is to do it piecemeal - along the road you want the 3x3 industrial for example, zone in one little 3x3 square section of the grid to create a single building, then skip the next 3x3 area of the grid and zone the one after that, repeating this pattern of zoned and unzoned grid all the way through your indutrial area. If you're zoning two roads that are back to back (and the zoned areas would touch each other), make sure to do a checkerboard pattern, alternating which pieces are zoned and unzoned on the two roads, otherwise you might get some 3x4 buildings stealing the zoning from the other road, buildings tend to want to build in at their maximum possible size. This is also why you don't want to just zone the entire length of a road at 3 squares deep, because they'll try to build in as 4x3 buildings if they can. Once the areas you've zoned have filled in, you're free to come back through and zone in the rest of the area with the rest of your 3x3 squares, and you'll get an industrial zone made up of exclusively the smaller 3x3 buildings!
@@Khotetsu thats amazing! I used a similar tactic in some of my cities but this makes a lot of sense! Yes, it works, and looks, much nicer in the beginning of cities and for smaller 'towns' you want to have further away from downtowns etc. Thank you for that!
This is what I have been waiting for! With my cities always failing half way through, I feel like I did something fundamentally wrong really needed to see how its done, now that we have all these lovely DLCs from 2022.
I'd call it Tribegga Bay and here's why: three rivers intersecting on the map and an island sort of looking like Manhattan , so tri [Tribeca, a blend of triangle, below, and canal (“Canal Street, New York”)] and bEgga ist quite obvious ;). Bay because of, well, the bays :D. Just an idea and I hope it makes some sort of sense. So looking forward to this build! 💙
🎊 YAY new series! About the castle, I know it’s cities skylines but what if we just leave the castle as it is like a haunted castle that locals just don’t go to? Just an idea. Can’t wait to see where we’ll go from here Eggs!
This is the first video of yours that I've watched, and I just have to say that I absolutely LOVE IT. I didn't know that someone describing how to start a city could make me smile, but here we are. You understand the gameplay very well, and I'm so excited to see more of your content! Thank you
With the little school park props, there is a tile that look almost like pebbles( I think under the same tab) that might add a little bit of spice to them. Instead of having the blotchy grass and dirt area in there. Adding a little bit of fence helps tighten them up too! Loving what you've done so far, this is the first time I've been able to catch a build from the very begging. Pumped to see how it all comes together
Love the green zone and walkway. I like to zone a park and place gates between residential and industry for insane amounts of cash early on with the extra benefit of some nice detailing options.
I'm already loving how this new city is turning out. The different green belts and focal points are really nice-looking. I can't wait to see how the new Build Guide gets built!
I like your faux-church services thing you've done here, as well as your High Street, those assets with the street-side parking built in really help with the vibe. If you're going to put leisure along the waterfront across from the castle-thing it would be very cool if the castle was a concert venue, but I don't know if the assets would mesh. Happy New Year!
First time viewer here, couldn't help but notice you put a Water Tower in the "front" of your city near the round-about, say as your driving-in.. A man of culture, I see.. Very good.
Starting a new city is so exciting with a certain theme in mind. As soon as I saw those mountain ranges it reminded me of the southern coast of South Africa and even into the wine region. My name suggestion would be Eiersbaai, I hope the translation is correct! Looking forward to the rest of the build
You are the master of aesthetics, and so newbie-friendly. I've been playing since the game first came out, and while I enjoy the other two top channels, the greater amount of technical/engineering mods sometimes kill it for me. I want beautiful, well-planned cities and you're the source of that. You're easy to follow, as well; I love how you explain things. Just wanted you to know why I keep coming back, and I'm really enjoying this new city so far. Thank you!
I’ve been resetting my builds because I hated how my cities look. Can’t wait to copy your style! It really adds so much character to the city! Looking forward to the next videos
I've been getting into cities skylines recently (still playing with my first city, vanilla with no mods) and the way you're planning and executing is absolutely inspiring. I'm so excited to watch this series and continue to learn :)
So excited for the new series, off to a great start! Starting the city in a sensible manner is always my hardest challenge. My first name thought is Destiny 2 derived because I immediately thought Dreaming City with the LUT and the mountains so my suggestion is Rhe-Egg-silvia (Rheasilvia)
Omg I saw this at 6am when I woke up, but had to move house today so I spent all day waiting! Finally plonked into bed and enjoyed this as my relax time sooo much! I'm so freaking excited for this map and series! I love PhillipBrady's name suggestion - very appropriate. Your church idea is so creative! I might even build along when I get time 😊
A bit late catching this stream. I have a sporadic following habit. I really like what you are doing and how you are presenting it as 'city building,' not 'city zoning' - It is the finer detailing point that I am still learning. Love what you did with the SSR assets. Makes me think of an American School House from the 19th Century. Looking forward to learning more as you produce more episodes. Thank you for what you do with our community.
Revisting your channel after a long while... it's insane how much you've improved since burgusia, and you were already fantastic then! Very much in love with your police/fire stations, I would've never thought of using them as churches... very creative.
I'm so excited to watch this city develop, my first time I've watched from the start. Repurposing the fire and police as churches is a great idea and really helps to create a special feel for this part of the city.
I've been sick with covid over the New Year weekend and had to work today despite still being ill - when the notification popped up earlier on my phone it was just the tonic I needed to keep me going through the rest of the afternoon. Got a cuppa, a packet of biccies, my feet up and about to hit play - cannot wait :-)
This is beautiful Egg! So excited to see this new series. Love the landscaped one-way system. Love the historic police and fire stations, I’ve had that DLC all this time and didn’t realize I had them! I personally enjoy making attractive generic industry areas at the start of my cities, using techniques that I’ve learned from your videos! As long as you can get rid of the ugly purple ground color it’s very doable!
So excited for this new serie! As i mention several times, i really like your style, you make those towns look so realistic even if it's vanilla style 👏 Can't wait for the next episode! Keep up Boss!
This is a great start to a new city. I really appreciate when you add assets and tell us what DLC they are from. It makes it useful to see waht DLCs we'd want to bring in. Nice idea of using the police and fire stations as churches.
what I've really thought about this , after watching you , imperatur, biffa , , two dollars, cityplannerplays and Palm's time(I have to say palm's time is on another level , even with mods ) you are my favourite , because of your commentary and lore , every time I watch I want to play, and with that , happy New year 😃'
In terms of artistic design and geometry, I like the orientation of your baseball field. In terms of not having fly balls end up in the playground and the building's windows, I would reorient the field to face toward the big trees.
I think you should lower the green belt in parts then the path will follow the ground and you can bridge the road over it… may give a fun more unique organic look Also you should add a cemetery to one of your churches
20:42 That is LITERALLY what all the schools in my area seem like! In fact we chucked one out in the middle of an empty field, don't even think there was a road to it when it was planned. The funny part was when it was JUST finished the weather got wet for a few days and a large chunk of the building dropped about 6 inches! Fortunately the school hadn't opened yet so no one was in it!
A very nice start into a new city, I like all the green belt ♥️🌲and it's a nice change from noob yolk that you're using all dlc content from the start. Looking forward to build along 😎
Happy to be able to keep up with this series from the start (haven’t got so many episodes to catch up with). Console could definitely use more QoL tools/features which I hope will make it into a follow up game
It was quite a surprise to see the new city starting today! Egg you are awesome man! I find it fascinating being from England that you are able to design your cities with right hand drive. Especially when it comes time to designing complex interchanges. I am from the United States and i think trying to play this game with left hand drive would scramble my brain.
I'm still kinda new to this game building stuff wise so following along with this is gonna be super helpful for me. I've been watching the noobs guide alongside this and both series are really phenomenal to follow along with. When I personally learn stuff I need to do it myself so that it sticks. So following along and learning by doing is gonna be really fun
This was/is my first build with the map pack... Absolutely gorgeous map... Used that island for a nice lil walkable park that citizens use to bridge between spaced out residential and a nice little riverside commercial district
I am so happy to watch a series from the start! I am still watching older builds too. Your genuine enthusiasm is so lovely to hear. (Palaven is my fave overall so far of the cities I have watched - but you are so creative that all of them have nice "spice"!!)
I’m building a city in NY basically meant to rival NYC called Nieuw Haarlem. It’s got Dutch roots too, but like NYC the British took it over. Anywho, I have a street called Kerk Street (Dutch for church) and it literally has a few important churches for the city and I’ve found adding churches and other random buildings really makes everything feel like a real city.
Bloody marvelous. I think I will just watch all your videos. No one told me you have to have a Bachelor of Arts degree to play City Skylines. Watching your video was like taking a meditation class. I feel at peace just listening to your voice. I have just restarted and made your dog bone intersection. I am still struggling turning this way and that. I had to watch your video twice. Thank you. I will persevere. I already have Industries what DLC do you suggest I get next. My first problem was running out of resources when mining. and my next problem is how do get to oil in a river bed. Thanks for all your videos.
Thanks bro, glad you are enjoying it! Theres a video for that haha: ruclips.net/video/w5JysLzntOw/видео.html&t And whole bunch of other tier lists in the playlist if you want them! Enjoy :)
Cheers for another vanilla build, I’ll build along as well. Until you go past 9 tiles, much appreciated to see you doing new content so soon after noobs guide finished
43:41 This brought to mind the old TV series Grange Hill and all the "behind the bike sheds" scenes. Adding bike parking spots would probably be doable, considering bikes seem to function in the same manner as pedestrian vehicles.
i recommend building the airport near to the downtown on the island to the left, where there is alot of space for public transit connections and close to the cargo port at the top of the map, island airports are also very realistic and happen all the time in real life
I would call it : Rock Vanilla. 1. Rock : the obvious rock in the roundabout 2. Rock: let's pretend this town has an history with rock&roll 3. Rock: because vanilla build rocks!
I've started a new city so many times because I keep building too tightly and at some point I end up in boring zoning, so that it just doesn't look nice and I don't want to build anymore. Unfortunately, you can't put the bushes that close together on the console, there's always some air in between. :-(
Wow what a great map! This it TOTALLY different than Ilos! Looking good so far, and I'm excited to see how far you'll take it. There's so much opportunity! The homemade baseball field is a nice touch. And on a more fun note, that cinematic looking at the church - with the blue Maserati - is classic!!!
I'd call this map 'Fort Sherman' or 'Dalton's Ferry'. The Fort Sherman name comes from the castle, which I think would have been repurposed as a fort called 'Fort Sherman'. 'Dalton's Ferry' doesn't really come from anywhere, I just think it sounds good.
I would call this city 'Orchid Bay', as Orchids are the plant Vanilla is derived from. Seems appropriate.
Ohh thats deep, I like it
It has to be Orchid Bay no doubt
Orchid Bay for me
I like this
And synthetic vanilla is derived from the anal glands of beavers.
"we'll cross that bridge when we come to it" when describing the plans for elevated pathways... Next level commentary 👌
That's the nicest start to a vanilla city i've seen in a long time. Instead of just slapping everything in and sorting it out later, leaving the gaps for detailing and parks etc is a much better idea. It looks great, can't wait to see how this city progresses.

"Placing pipes under the roads is a waste of nodes." FINALLY!! A RUclipsr who gets it! 23m spacing is all you need for efficient water pipe spacing.
This might be the first time in my CS content viewing life, that I've started watching a lets build on the day it was launched!
Day 1 gang!

Really cool name.
Agree with the name suggesting.
Ooooh, do love a new series 🙂
Enjoy buddy 😎
Me too.

Always an option! Could be haunted maybe?
I removed a couple of walls and turned it into a camping spot with camp fires lighting the castle walls , looks well

I cannot afford being a patron, but I would if I could
Super excited for this new series! The new city should be called Yolkshire
With the little school park props, there is a tile that look almost like pebbles( I think under the same tab) that might add a little bit of spice to them.

It's incredible how you reinvent yourself with each new build. I love how you repurposed the "churches". Nice city start!
Thank you for watching! :)
St. Popo and Our Lady of the Firefighters.
I'm already loving how this new city is turning out. The different green belts and focal points are really nice-looking. I can't wait to see how the new Build Guide gets built!
Glad you like them! Hope you enjoy the rest of the series mate :)
For the emergency services churches you could leave space next to them to put the cemeteries when you unlock them

Always loved vanilla builds. Ilos do have a special Place in my cities skylines heart though! So glad to see this vanilla Series!! Yay
Thanks for watching
Every time I start a new city I always say to myself “this time it won’t be grid shaped…” but it always ends in a linear disappointment.

Glad to hear! Slowing down and tailoring areas really opens up the game imo!
I really like that idea of building a city rather then just placing things down, awesome start to the city!
I've been getting into cities skylines recently (still playing with my first city, vanilla with no mods) and the way you're planning and executing is absolutely inspiring. I'm so excited to watch this series and continue to learn :)
Yes! I’ve taken a break off cities skyline but you’ve gotten me back into Im looking forward to more videos🎉
Yes, i love your Vanilla Citybuilding. Thank you for this nice start, can't wait for the next ones.
I'm excited for a new series. I played along with Noob Yolk and learned a lot. I look forward to following along with EggBenedicton

Can't wait to see what this build guide will turn out to be! I can already see the vision in this first episode.
Looking forward to seeing how the build develops. All the best for 2023 mate.
Very cute start to a new city that's sure to be just as spectacular as all of your others. Showing off your amazing vanilla skills from the get-go!
Love you Rich
I'm so excited to watch this city develop, my first time I've watched from the start. Repurposing the fire and police as churches is a great idea and really helps to create a special feel for this part of the city.
I've been sick with covid over the New Year weekend and had to work today despite still being ill - when the notification popped up earlier on my phone it was just the tonic I needed to keep me going through the rest of the afternoon. Got a cuppa, a packet of biccies, my feet up and about to hit play - cannot wait :-)
Hope you feel better soon and enjoyed the video :)
This is beautiful Egg! So excited to see this new series. Love the landscaped one-way system.

I've been looking for a series for a while and i think this is the one, super calming voice.
Love the start and excited to see what’s to come with this city! The little church’s are such a nice unique vanilla touch, super original!

Oh, man! I've been so heavy into World of Warcraft since November that I've not had time to play CS but I always love your Vanilla Series!
This is always the hardest part for me is getting the initial city set up in a way that isn't blocky and ugly. Thanks for this.

Amazing city start! Love the open airy and wooded areas with the one-directional paired roads 🌳🛣
This was/is my first build with the map pack... Absolutely gorgeous map... Used that island for a nice lil walkable park that citizens use to bridge between spaced out residential and a nice little riverside commercial district
Have watched this video about 3 times now including one where i have tried to replicate it. Absolutely brilliant thanks for putting this together.
Glad you're enjoying it mate!

Avonfell.
This map looks like something out of Norway. So the words for rivers and mountains put together.
Wow absolutely beautiful. From beginning to end. Absolutely every little bit. You got such a creative mind for this
Thank you so much 😀
Superb! And coinciding with a day off work. Let's start building!
Enjoy, Ben!
I’m building a city in NY basically meant to rival NYC called Nieuw Haarlem. It’s got Dutch roots too, but like NYC the British took it over.
Anywho, I have a street called Kerk Street (Dutch for church) and it literally has a few important churches for the city and I’ve found adding churches and other random buildings really makes everything feel like a real city.

Theres a video for that haha: ruclips.net/video/w5JysLzntOw/видео.html&t
And whole bunch of other tier lists in the playlist if you want them! Enjoy :)
Love the new city build with you building it in vanilla , keep it up, i would call the city Valencia Orchid Bay, got a ring to it :)
Cheers for another vanilla build, I’ll build along as well. Until you go past 9 tiles, much appreciated to see you doing new content so soon after noobs guide finished
Strathinver would be an interesting name, Strath for the wide valley and Inver for the river confluence.
Looking forward to how this progresses.
Great new series, loving the info pop-ups
Based on the starting music, maybe Riften would be a fitting name :)
Really looks awesome!❤❤❤ your ‘build’ style has really evolved. Wonderful to watch
I say this as a positive because your voice is soo soothing man, it legitimately helps me fall asleep, its amazing😂
43:41 This brought to mind the old TV series Grange Hill and all the "behind the bike sheds" scenes. Adding bike parking spots would probably be doable, considering bikes seem to function in the same manner as pedestrian vehicles.
i recommend building the airport near to the downtown on the island to the left, where there is alot of space for public transit connections and close to the cargo port at the top of the map, island airports are also very realistic and happen all the time in real life
Just finished Berguzia, now on to Orchid Bay. Such good guides to learn how the mind of a CS legend works
thank you mate! I'm with covid right now and this is gonna be te absolute peak of my day
Feel better soon!
Looking awesome already! Looking forward to ep.2! You should upload this to steam so i can download it! :)
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES, lemme grab a beer and enjoy this!!!! I was sad that the other series ended...
Enjoy bro!
You are so right with historical buildings, so right 👍
You’re the Bob Ross of cities skylines! Love this series!
Brand new viewer here! Man this is so much better then my cities! Love this so much!
haha thanks bro! Plenty of Cities content on the channel for you to enjoy :)
and we have a discord if you aren't there yet. Come hang, very active!
I would call it : Rock Vanilla.
1. Rock : the obvious rock in the roundabout
2. Rock: let's pretend this town has an history with rock&roll
3. Rock: because vanilla build rocks!
Great start to a build as always! Look forward to seeing how this progresses
I've started a new city so many times because I keep building too tightly and at some point I end up in boring zoning, so that it just doesn't look nice and I don't want to build anymore.
Unfortunately, you can't put the bushes that close together on the console, there's always some air in between. :-(
Yeah, collision space on console is wider for some reason! Keep on with the series, it'll stop you doing that :)
It would also be cool to add canals beside residential areas. Nice city design! (;
Wow what a great map! This it TOTALLY different than Ilos! Looking good so far, and I'm excited to see how far you'll take it. There's so much opportunity! The homemade baseball field is a nice touch. And on a more fun note, that cinematic looking at the church - with the blue Maserati - is classic!!!
Commenting to support. Thanx for all the great content. I watch every chance I get from truck stops across America
Safe driving Steve!
Love how 6 minutes in a new series egg's already talking about trams, yes please!
oh boy. what a way to start the year!
Yessss....new series...now I will build along with you and learn a few things....Great!!!
Its amasing what you can do even when without mods. Awesome job....
I'm voting for the city name of Eldur and the beginning is well done! Can't wait to see the city grow up slowly 🙌 😊
All im going to say is you have made my year again overcharged egg and thank you, i cant wait to see more of wats to come.
Cheers George!
City name should be Egginburgh!
I'd call this map 'Fort Sherman' or 'Dalton's Ferry'. The Fort Sherman name comes from the castle, which I think would have been repurposed as a fort called 'Fort Sherman'. 'Dalton's Ferry' doesn't really come from anywhere, I just think it sounds good.
I'd say something like Whitewater Pass, or name it after the Island Ruin, like River-Fork Motte.
Finally, an unmodded series. Love your videos egg!
