Never in a thousand years would I have guessed the observation tower knowing your history with it but I'm pretty sure Carina will scream with joy when she sees this ep 😂
Every monday this is giving me a nice break from having a hectic start into the week. Thank you for constantly letting us catch a break :) I can't wait to see this. EDIT: This balloon captain/driver needs to have his license revoked. What a maniac, lol.
The waterfront looks absolutely beautiful. I love all of the creative detailing and specialized zoning. It all looks so nice and cohesive. The observation tower is a big yes, too. And, I cannot forget about the Chirper Balloon tours. 😂 This is definitely one of my favorite areas in Orchid Bay so far.
I was NOT expecting the Observation Tower! What a wonderful surprise and it sits really well above the beautifully designed park! In light of the feedback from the previous episode, I feel like a Sunlight Regulation Police HQ is now required somewhere in the downtown...
The observation tower! Wow! Did NOT expect that. But boy did you make it work. Excellent placement with the tall buildings behind it. That way it doesn't stick out like a sore, pointy thumb. Also the build around it is superb. Great call to bring in those King Leno assets and the elevated plaza. That area now looks very intended and not just some generic stuff thrown about. Everything about this build accentuated, complimented, and really fleshed out the previous downtown builds. Looks amazing. Oh, and the embankment of the transit lines just really hit the spot.
Regarding the towers being perhaps too close, maybe you could establish the “Tower Proximity Bureau” next to the “Gradient Police”. - Loved seeing the beachfront park come together.
IDK man, I think the observation tower is GENIUS. When you pulled that out I was like, "oh, yes please". It came together so nicely and is a perfect accent for that Skyline!
I’ve been binge watching Orchid bay for the past couple of weeks playing catch up and it’s quickly become my favourite city I’m currently watching. Keep up the eggselent work!
That observation tower is perfect here. Gives a real Toronto vibe to the waterfront. Of course the actual CN tower is just silly tall and dominates the skyline by just towering (heh) over it. Moving the observation tower out away from the rest of the skyline gives a similar effect when viewed from the water, as the tower *looks* taller than the buildings. I don’t think a library near the airport is that bad, actually. I used to work in an office under the approach paths of an airport. It was loud if I went out for a walk and a plane came in for a landing over my head, but inside it wasn’t loud enough to disturb our work. Though, I am almost wondering if the runways shouldn’t be parallel to the shore instead of perpendicular. It would require a lot of land fill, but it is common to build airports on reclaimed land like that.
After starting this series at the first lesson a week ago I finally caught up with your lesson plan a few minutes ago. Posted my last map a year ago and felt the need for a post - graduate course after after not even playing for several months. Not disappointed! Thanks!
I think a convention center could be a pretty cool addition, maybe to the end of the island once you pop the tiles. Vanilla fusion using warehouses as convention halls or something could be an interesting way to do it, and then surround with midrise hotels and condo buildings, shopping, etc. If you really wanted to get crazy you could even take inspiration from Long Beach, CA, and design the streets there to work well as a race track for a couple of weeks a year!
Love the inclusion of the Art Museum in the park. Such a difficult build to get right in respecting the open space but putting in the assets. Would love to see some pop up sports props in the open space behind the beach
The observation tower has very Sydney vibes to anyone hating on the placement ;) I personally love it and the art walking track has a very Melbourne vibe too! We are known for our artsy culture in Melbourne and can see this kind of install very easily along the water fronts :) Amazing episode! The chirper balloon is giving me some good laughs so I think leave it! Don't reposition it! haha
The observation tower reminds me of the TV towers you can find in almost every major German city, so it's a natural fit in any skyline, I think! The "Fernsehturm" in Berlin is surrounded by low, open plaza space which really makes it stand out and feel really important.
The observation tower is the unexpected yet perfect addition to the skyline. Love it more than I believed possible, Carina surely will be proud. That whole park area is great. Love Orchid Bay so much. You keep getting better and better. Awesome.
It's all turning into a nice blend of buildings from high to low! Love the whole park area today. I laughed when you named the library tp not a library 😄 It looks a bit like a barge boat so maybe it could be a yacht club or something instead lol. Great job!🤩
Absolutely lost it laughing at that chirper balloon squashing it's face against the side of the skyscraper windows. If i was like, in the office in that building I would scream. it would be a sight to behold to be sure haha
The new observation tower with the airport soon to come your downtown is looking a lot like Toronto, good stuff! You should get some inspiration from there especially for the area around the baseball stadium
Amazing as always! The observation tower is a very underrated asset in my opinion, and it really fits with the skyline here! I'm always inspired to stop whatever I'm doing and boot up C:S whenever I see your videos!
Started watching the series 3 days ago, so sad that i cought up, i cant binge anymore. Fell in love with the game watching the series. I'm glad you still didn't make the new airport tho, i have a name sudgestion -> Hi Orchid. The Hi Orchid and Bye Orchid twin airports would be amazing.
wow just wow! Such a good vibe on that park, and great assets. The mall and then wall-to-wall res, the madern art museum create a real nice, realistic modern feel. Smatterings of the older HD cmmercial keep it varied, and make it feel alive. I think the two green cities towers with thrown angles, the IT cluster, and the unique skyscraper along side the important transport infrastructure, all sandwiched between the Korean turqoise number and the park, is my favourite part of the city. 🌴🏬🗼
The icing on the cake for the build is Chirper Balloon giving some serious stink eye to the Gradient and Fence Orientation Police! 🤣. Who's going to police the Gradient Police? Chirper is! Sign me up for the Chirper Fan Club! I'd be honored to be the founding member and President. Club initiation fee attached.
Like it. Would ad some lonely trees in the grass area and some picnic tables. Might even make them official parks with park life to attract more people and increase the land value.
Lovely build as always. Glad i watched the walkthru at the end, was about to suggest the mall buildings around the base of the needle for the subtle whites and tans to match the modern art building. LoL 🤣👍
I agree about the towers tbf. Love the series. Also this downtown has me hyped for what Cities 2 will be like with improved graphics and global illumination, gonna be mental.
Im amazed! Your sense of space always inspires me. I always end up with way too much density and lack of space but your builds remind me to stay disciplined and consider how to use land. Thanks for the inspiration 👌
I wish there was a option to make a street racing circuit (like Monaco or Melbourne in F1) - your Ocean front Park would be awesome for that - imagine a couple weeks a year, a race series comes to town and races in the shadow of downtown. The sound of the engines echo through the skyscrapers and tourists flock about. That would be awesome. One can dream
Amazing as always! I don’t know if possible but it will be cool if there will be lights on the beach for those who want to dip late. Also, I’m all for more museums and theaters in Orchid Bay and that Not Actually a Library is awesome 😂
great stuff egg! really loving the overgrown path down to the beach with the docks & piers. it would be awesome to see some live music at the waterfront at some point :)
I am not a city dweller but I would totally airbnb a visit down there in those condos on the coastline! There was an asset of a tai chi style park that would be cool down there on the oceanfront ...maybe???
I think it would look cool if you put a bunch of the rainbow Giant's Causeway looking assets together. Like fill out the entire large circle with them!
The open green space at the bottom of the skyline, next to the big stadium, looks a bit empty. Kinda seems like land that has not yet been used. Maybe you could decorate it minimalistically with some small props like bushes and rocks. A simple pattern to kinda show that the open area is there for a reason, yaknow?
I am Team Observation Tower! I like it in this skyline. I don't think it belongs in every skyline, but it really works here and gives a nice focal point and pinnacle to an otherwise quite boxy and grey city. The skyline as a whole is loking really nice! Also I love the Chirper Overlord, anythign that makes you laugh that hard can stay, imo. Love it Egg, it's really coming along! 😍😍😍😍😄❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Really enjoy your videos and builds, one thing I don't always agree with is the number of roads that you put trees on. Like the condos on the sea front you can't see them now and they have no views themselves 😊
Great episode sir! Loved the circular public art area reminded me of the mandalas that i do but at 20:15 looked like there was two different quays? Anyways can't wait to see more! 👀
I don’t want to join the Airplane Police. I would like to let you know that aircraft generally can’t over fly a stadium or large event unless 3,000ft above said event.
Never in a thousand years would I have guessed the observation tower knowing your history with it but I'm pretty sure Carina will scream with joy when she sees this ep 😂
I think this is the first instance of it I've actually enjoyed 😆 Cheers Star!
That "Not A Library" at night looks amazing on the waterfront - like a cruise liner. Great placement!
Nice update.
I think the city needs a little grotty area that everyone can call Awkward Bay though 😋
Lol
Love this idea lol
That vanilla beachfront! Loved seeing those KingLeno assets/props and how good does it all look at night!? Great build for a good Monday. Thanks Egg!
Every monday this is giving me a nice break from having a hectic start into the week. Thank you for constantly letting us catch a break :) I can't wait to see this.
EDIT: This balloon captain/driver needs to have his license revoked. What a maniac, lol.
Hope the monday goes alright Dus!
I'm running out of adjectives for this series because I'm constantly saying how good it is! I just love how well you satisfy my slight OCD brain

I love the circular paths and art installation. It had never occurred to me to make a path into a circle. ❤
IDK man, I think the observation tower is GENIUS. When you pulled that out I was like, "oh, yes please". It came together so nicely and is a perfect accent for that Skyline!
Name the observation area 'Five Rings' after the three rings of art next to the observation tower. Great video as always Egg!
I’ve been binge watching Orchid bay for the past couple of weeks playing catch up and it’s quickly become my favourite city I’m currently watching. Keep up the eggselent work!

I love that library on the waterfront. I never realised until now that it actually resembles a boat, so it's perfect 👌
Indeed it does! #LibraryBoatgang
@@OVERCHARGEDEGG BOOKing a cruise? 😁

The park part is amazing. I would recommend putting some trees and natural assets to improve it.

That tower sits so well, you come up with really creative ideas to use very different buildings!
Thank you! 😊
The observation tower is back! Real nice plaza-pedestrian waterfront, really like it! And so much walking and public transport, lovely!
It's all turning into a nice blend of buildings from high to low! Love the whole park area today. I laughed when you named the library tp not a library 😄 It looks a bit like a barge boat so maybe it could be a yacht club or something instead lol. Great job!🤩
this build is getting better every time

The Grand Library placement is perfect! It actually looks like a ship next to the water! Maybe it's the Corporate HQ of the Cargo Ship company!
Amazing as always! The observation tower is a very underrated asset in my opinion, and it really fits with the skyline here! I'm always inspired to stop whatever I'm doing and boot up C:S whenever I see your videos!

Like it. Would ad some lonely trees in the grass area and some picnic tables. Might even make them official parks with park life to attract more people and increase the land value.
I really like the not-a-Library placed where it is! Maybe it can be the Sunlight Police HQ?
Lovely build as always. Glad i watched the walkthru at the end, was about to suggest the mall buildings around the base of the needle for the subtle whites and tans to match the modern art building. LoL 🤣👍
I agree about the towers tbf. Love the series. Also this downtown has me hyped for what Cities 2 will be like with improved graphics and global illumination, gonna be mental.
If those open air shopping malls weren't unique buildings they would have been absolutely perfect here.
Im amazed! Your sense of space always inspires me. I always end up with way too much density and lack of space but your builds remind me to stay disciplined and consider how to use land. Thanks for the inspiration 👌
41:08 should the new cities skylines logo. Loving the series.
Thank you for another great episode. Have a nice week. God bless you!

Thank you for putting out this video today. I needed this ❤
Observation tower was a good choice
You are a real artist. Nice work Egg.
Thank you for making my Mondays so much better.
Loving this series. Always embarrassingly excited to see a new upload for this city 👍👍
Lovely build! So many great ideas!
I reckon the Sunlight Regulations Police HQ would be perfect in the observation tower, having full view of any offenders in downtown
Perfect!
park feels a lot like brighton and its observation tower!
Great additions to the skyline. It’ll be interesting to see how the new content fits in once it’s released
The Timelapse music is some of the normal jams I listen too, was confused when it came on, thought so somehow exited out and started Spotify 😂😮
Orchid Bay is beginning to look like downtown Toronto with rail lines, CN tower and Gardner expressway
Looking at the similarities, I can definitely see where you’re coming from.
great stuff egg! really loving the overgrown path down to the beach with the docks & piers.
it would be awesome to see some live music at the waterfront at some point :)
The chirper balloon giving me some Team Rocket vibes with their Meowth balloon they flew around in all the time 🙈😂😂
I am not a city dweller but I would totally airbnb a visit down there in those condos on the coastline!
There was an asset of a tai chi style park that would be cool down there on the oceanfront ...maybe???
The Chirper baloon makes me giggle every time it's on the screen
Not actually a library seems like a perfect place to go to not actually prepare to exams
The Observation tower looks like the Calgary tower in Calgary or the CN tower in Toronto.
love the observation tower, nice episode :)
That song tho bro. Boss beat.
I think the waterside park deserves a monorail stop before the airport!:)
Yesss more green space. Love it.
Finally the god emperor chirper balloon returns! Always watching. Always knowing.
Palaven will always hold a place in my heart(I honestly thought this day would never come) but holy shit OE........ Orchard Bay is killer!
I think it would look cool if you put a bunch of the rainbow Giant's Causeway looking assets together. Like fill out the entire large circle with them!
YEEEESS another video of orchid bay.
Yeahh we all stan large cbd city
The open green space at the bottom of the skyline, next to the big stadium, looks a bit empty. Kinda seems like land that has not yet been used. Maybe you could decorate it minimalistically with some small props like bushes and rocks. A simple pattern to kinda show that the open area is there for a reason, yaknow?
amazing. the level of detail for vanilla!!
babe wake up a new build guide 2 is out
Im getting closer to hopefully catching a live one of these days. 3rd series of your's ive watched now keep up the awsome work.
I am Team Observation Tower! I like it in this skyline. I don't think it belongs in every skyline, but it really works here and gives a nice focal point and pinnacle to an otherwise quite boxy and grey city. The skyline as a whole is loking really nice! Also I love the Chirper Overlord, anythign that makes you laugh that hard can stay, imo. Love it Egg, it's really coming along! 😍😍😍😍😄❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Really enjoy your videos and builds, one thing I don't always agree with is the number of roads that you put trees on. Like the condos on the sea front you can't see them now and they have no views themselves 😊
Great episode sir! Loved the circular public art area reminded me of the mandalas that i do but at 20:15 looked like there was two different quays? Anyways can't wait to see more! 👀
A Ferris wheel or the London Eye next to the observation tower might look night especially with the pier nearby!
It would be hilarious if the chirper balloon asset was coded to ALWAYS face the camera
Some eco commercial would be nice on the waterfront
The great builder on yt.. i love it!🤩
I think the circular path bit should be called the Hans Niemann bead park, in honor of a fallen grand master I once knew
I don’t want to join the Airplane Police. I would like to let you know that aircraft generally can’t over fly a stadium or large event unless 3,000ft above said event.
You should add a decorative blimp line that goes by the stadium (the bagels especially)
Egg, sometimes this is the only thing that gets me going on Monday. Thank you so much ❤
There is a fix for the monorail line on the hub…but you would have to use network multitool in a vanilla build 🤷🏻♂️
I should have commented! Observation tower was my first and only thought, but I thought for sure everyone would think that so I didnt even scroll down
Super nice build!!
Ik it’s a good day when you post
Please have merch that just says "GET ON BOARD" 😂
When I saw this video I was like yay
The tree lined street is blocking the views from wall to wall buildings. I would think the buildings would be overlooking the water.
The people in the financial district need places to eat. Coffee shops. Dry cleaners. Post office.
I love your forest brush tree variety - might you share your trees you use and variability % of those trees? Huge help - thank you!!
I was born in the 80's. It'll be another 25 years before I can do whatever I like. 😅
this is amazing! i cant wait to see what u will do with CS2 when it is out!!
Looking so good!
At least if the lifts are out in the tower we can get the Chirper to work 😂
Looks amazing! Any way you could make it downloadable on Steam?
Looks great!
