      I only ever seem to use them to control flow on split roads/double neighborhoods, or that weird scenario where one color travels one way to a destination and the other color goes the opposite way, which while it flies in the face of many players' logic, is not always a terrible decision to end up making!

    This came up on recommended today and you have earned a sub. Love your tone of voice and attitude.
    MM is my new favorite game and have already put over 80h in it. Have been using various tactics, like you, to get to high scores, like blocking with roads to force different spawns, mostly with success. Have managed to get, on average, to between 5k to 10k on all the maps apart just 2, Dar es Salaam and Mexico. Non of it work there for some reason, could not get past 3k no matter how many times I've tried. What did work was just to let the game do its thing and that allowed for higher scores of 6k - 7k. Weird.
    So far my highest score is 21113 on Manila with 28th rank. Profoundly proud of that :).
    Keep up the good work, your channel will grow in no time, I'm sure of that.

    Yellow could have been more manageable by avoiding 4ways. Also most of the motorways created a 4way as well. You can spot them on roads with clot like traffic. Not a magic cure but an extra .5-1k more easily. Pink had a cyan spawn making a 4way and would have been the next most fatal.
    Blocking houses is a decent start but requires real time management and is too stressful making you burnout faster. It's best to only block buildings from spawning on islands.

    Not a bad run. If you could have blocked that top island you might have gone somewhat further. I imagine there is a sweet spot of how many destinations you have on the map once it's full, not enough and the pressure on the existing destinations might be too high.
    Those bridges you made for the 2 pinks just north of the river was hilarious when you could have just diverted the road above them to allow them to connect. I love the idea of making the game find new spawn areas for a house colour even if your execution in the bottom left didn't work very well and yet the game paid you off by spawning a purple/blue destination right next to them anyway.
    I try to predict what colour destination is most likely to come out. It gets a bit hard later in the game but half way is ok. It tends to spawn a destination that you already have an over supply of houses for the existing destinations of that colour. In that way you can try to make it spawn the destination in an existing neighborhood of the same colour - but it’s not an exact science.

    • @Retroflux

    Hey, thanks for a great video. Are you able to expand upon the trick of using roads to prevent spawn? In regard to, for example, how many tiles in an area need to be covered to prevent a spawn? Is there a trick to do it more efficiently? I'm always worried that a few buildings will pop up inbetween where I place the temporary roads. @1:40, you have lots of wavy roads, would it not be possible for anything to spawn between them, or you mainly place them there to prevent the large building from spawning there?
    Very impressive to get 7K+ trips. I haven't even came close to that yet! Maybe one day

    • @Retroflux
      @Retroflux  Год назад

      Hey! Some people put in roads to prevent spawns or prepare areas for future spawns - both are different techniques that use the same mechanic.
      For the first, you look to block or delay a destination spawn from happening by putting down roads where it is supposed to spawn (which you can determine after a number of runs on a map). These can then be taken off later once you have the resources to properly connect the destination to a source of houses.
      For the second one, you're using foresight and game knowledge to know where things will spawn and saying "it would be very bad for my chances of winning if this became blocked by X", so you build there preemptively to avoid that from happening. Wellington has a good example of this: there is a white population that spawns in the bottom-middle of the map, and a set of destinations that spawns in the top-middle. If you're not careful, the valuable real estate that would connect those two is covered by other destinations and roadways, so you prevent that from happening by adding the road you want them to use early on.
      Hope this helps! :)

    This game is basically suburban sprawl.
    In real life, you follow a road hierarchy. That’s the best road layout efficiency, Which means the collector roads will absorb the most traffic (that’s what they are designed to do: COLLECT TRAFFIC) and cars will get off the collector roads and onto a street that will lead them do the destination. These “streets” are what’s called Local roads. These streets supposed to have more intersections than collector roads and shouldn’t create more traffic than collector roads.
    Now, do not connect a highway to a local road because it will create traffic. Do you want hundreds of cars driving on your street every day? And backed up?
    I thought so. Connect them to the collector roads (again they COLLECT TRAFFIC, they will absorb the most traffic).
    Follow this road hierarchy and you will get automatic 5k.
    Another example is your body’s anatomy. Look at your arteries, that’s where the blood travels faster and branches off to veins, where less and less traffic occurs. You don’t want traffic on your veins, they will burst or clogged. You don’t want blood clots. You don’t want anything that slows your blood flow.

      Yes, cars will slow down at anything more than a three-way. I tend to make cluster nodes that then feed into larger roadways that are (for the most part) free from interruption, with any intersecting lines being y-junctions to keep traffic flowing. :)

    I see you block with long lines of roads. if you do single roads you block more than long lines of roads. Since a single road will be two spaces. But 2 roads connected only takes up 3 spaces. 3 roads 4 spaces etc. you might know this just thought I’d tell you.

      Always is a dangerous word! If I'm sitting on zero road tiles and have plans for expansion, I might be inclined to take a bridge + 20 tiles over a motorway + 10 tiles... But even then, if you're traveling more than 20 tiles, the motorway becomes the best option

      tl;dr yes, but with a lot of conditions.
      Sometimes yes, though you don't immediately get back the roads that are currently being used, so you'll be working with a road deficit while you're rebuilding. Makes it pretty tough to actually rebuild, and after a certain point the demand for cars is so high you CANNOT rebuild because the time it takes to get everyone back out to the destinations will end the game.

      Hey! Level 2 happens semi-randomly (or at least the pattern is so obscure it's not worth figuring out), but it's just calculated against the current demand curve. As the game progresses, the game will request more cars to each colour per minute, and will eventually satisfy that with making the structure a circle.

      I've pulled back significantly on my blocking since this video. I learned that the game sometimes stops spawning houses if it gets blocked, so you starve yourself! Now the roads I put down are much more like preemptively planning a city, like saying "I'll need a road here in the future to handle traffic flow". That's much more in the spirit of the game, I think, and I recommend it very much!
