Can I Survive 100 Years of Tsunamis in Cities: Skylines?

- I tried to survive by building a city that could withstand one tsunami every year for 100 years in Cities: Skylines. Start out in a pit below sea level and move upward...

This should be an easy challenge, simply spread a few bags of rice on the ground after each tsunami.
Rice: the mortal enemy of any quantity of water
😂
ABSORB
1 grain should suffice
just dont tell my asian friend
People coming back to underwater town every year: “this time will be different”
🤣🤣 Hahahaha
Have I ever told you, the definition of insanity?
Florida
That's what people all around the world do after Hurricanes. And I don't get it.
Maybe it's the Frostpunk situation of "Other places are even worse"?
Curiously enough the Richter scale equivalent for measuring a tsunami is called the Soloviev-Imamura tsunami intensity scale
SITIS is indeed a curious way to spell cities, but it is also a nice little palindrome
I like the way that name makes the noise of Tsunami hitting.
Shit, it's the incoming sea/shit... fitting
That is interesting. Since almost all of them are caused by earthquakes, I wonder if there is a relation between the two scales?
I know there are a ton of factors that go into how bad a tsunami is in any given location, but there must be a relation on can derive between the earthquake that causes the wave and the maximum possible intensity of said tsunami.
@@Nevir202 If an earthquake is the cause of a tsunami, then obviously, yes there is a direct relation between their intensities. It forms the initial input of kinetic energy into the water. However, how intense a tsunami is going to be when it hits the shore, and even where it hits the shore, is influenced so much more by things like travel time, topography, water temperature, salinity etc. that just the Richter number of the initial earthquake is simply not that useful for predicting how much damage a given wave might cause. On top of that, tsunamis can be caused by a bunch of other things so that Richter number doesn't even always exist.
From here on out I'm going to believe that AA has no memory retention and entirely ad-libs his scripts based only on the cliffnotes known as save names
watching his videos is oddly surreal idk how to explain it
@@dtendy4153 He does such a good job at time lapsing while telling all the relevant information so that it doesn’t even feel like a time lapse
@@johnypeperwinkle6207 And the info is entertaining and a great storybuilding design.
I love the occasional boat getting stuck on/in the wall
And how Ambiguousamphibian never even mentioned them. Just business as usual.
The cruise ship that permanently implanted itself into the 90 degree wall is now a famous landmark

A poonami has to be in the top 3 worst ways to die
How about a poonami while being killed on your taxes?
Hmm slow slicing (death by 1,000 cuts) bamboo torture, crucifixion, I can think of several more.
a poon-nami, on the other hand...
@@mandowarrior123 so you'd prefer to drown in a wall of everyone's rancid feces. Noted.
@@eucherenkovtop 1 way to die.
Cities Skylines has always been a flooding simulator first and a city builder second.
The fish stick factory surviving the first tsunami really tickles me. I'm imagining a Simpsons-esque scene where the struggling business sees its neighbours swept one by one. But then when the wave hits them, the factory not only survives, but is filled with free fish. "YAAAAYYYYY!"
You could call it a... *Conspirasea*
I imagine the ice cube factory got plenty of supply too
I’m not gonna lie watching ambiguous is like going on a really calm and thought provoking LSD trip
I cannot think of a more perfect way to describe his content
Well said. It's like poetry of poop and existence itself.
I can't stop fucking laughing at the poop-nami and subsequent lake with poo front property
totally agree. one of my favorite youtube videos of all time is his playthrough of that one cartel game where he was growing and exporting co- candy.
just not true
The fact that both the FISH stick factory and the ICE cube factory survived the second tsunami has me thinking that theres some kind of conspirasea going on👀
Gotta love how the save names are a little extra joke in of themselves
share with me your abundance of the nutritious eggs
"Where rich people would live at the top of the hill and be spared from the deadly waters, flooding their neighbors below"
*Ah, the Central Coast*
Congrats, you managed to simulate the Netherlands!
And Japan kind of.
@@keepyourshoesathedoorlmao no
When i saw that huge flood wall, all i could think of was:
When the taxes were lowered, people returned to the city and the water evaporated, the humans thought they were safe. But on the 1st of january humanity would receive a grim reminder...
Hearing the background music at the start, not in a Yogscast video, was a bit strange. But I love your content AA, keep being awesome!
Yogs
Yoggy bois.
Part of me always knew their intro music had to just be royalty free stuff, but this has to be the first time i've actually heard it anywhere else. definitely threw me for a loop.
I KNEW I RECOGNISED IT
@@ambiguousamphibian Chad Yog enjoyer
The cruise ship going crazy 9:24 😂
“Underwater: Literally and Financially”
Oh shit, the economy!
So, this is just a Miami 100 yr simulation?
Yes
Yes
your mom
@@glass_block your mom too
@@Westlee_ and yours.
Just a random comment out here, what does it for me is the way you vocalize your videos. The way you narrate them so to say. You use immensely complex references, some you probably got from the same books I read because I do get some of them, and you use such a rich vocabulary. I just love it.
The articulation gets me. The Kermit avatar sells it too.
@@smeggiamagarwine I mean, I'm not sure. But since he references Ulysses I guess some things might escape me?
🤓
I'll never forget the category 10 Poonami of '39. So many lives lost.
that's one way to call nazis
>looking for a new city to live in
>ask the city planner if their city is creepy or wet
>he doesnt understand
>pull out illustrated diagram explaining what is creepy and what is wet
>he laughs and says “it’s a good city sir”
>move in
>its wet
"To create this video, some of you may drown but it's a sacrifice that I am willing to make."
your discreet commentaries about class struggle are genius
Thank you sir for your philosophical and poetic commentary for all that you have made. Starting with Gerald Williams to the present. Looking forward to the next major update for Project Zomboid to see you at where it all began for me once again.
Very happy games are made so open ended like these days so someone like you can make something noone else would do in a million years
love these videos, but I miss you doing multi-video series in games. Not sure why you don't do them anymore, I really liked them.
~The Algorithm ~ despises numbers in titles so it's an economic choice
This is essentially the real-life story of a particularly flood-prone area of Australia in northern NSW
I'm quite glad you clarified in the beginning about it being 100 in-game years. I had my hand halfway to the nearest golf club for some xp before that.
I love the part when your videos have a storyline. thanks for posting
This is what foreigners expect when you tell them the Netherlands is below sealevel
Gotta love seeing the AA notification pop up.
As a Dutch person this is literally my culture
If you have trouble with this challenge just ask New Orleans city planners how they do it
the image of the boat colliding into the dirt wall like a dog rushing to a food bowl and the phrase "long term systemic health risks" has destroyed me- this entire video has destroyed me
Normal players: Zoning? You mean like residential or commercial?
This challenge: Aquatic Ruin Zone [Sonic drowning music intensifies]
The town is wet, but thanks to this video I am extremely dry.
One of your best yet. Sometimes I tell people about the saga of Torsolo and they do not like me talking about that. I can't imagine what it's like to have to follow something like that up. This is pretty good. I like it. I think what you do is really cool.
Alternate title: Recreating Sootopolis City in Cities: Skylines
I love your content man. Probably some of the most entertaining videos to watch. I bestow upon you my highest reward: watching your video during lunch. Keep up the good work man!
When he said ‘SEAattle’ I had a flashback of Homer banging his fist on the desk laughing at funny place names at Krusy’s clown college
Victory followed by ennui followed by multiple attempts at total destruction! Yep, @ambiguousamphibian at his finest! :D
Operation: Anti-Atlantis
The cruise ships and cargo ship steam into the walls are great.
Damn, bro really just made an entire history of 21st century New Orleans
I love how the cruise made some sick skate moves
I mean, of course there's demand, literally 100% of the city has potential water-front property values
This episode reminded me of the obscure but brilliant show "The Oblongs", when you moved all the rich people up to the hill.
I’m happy my city name idea made it into the video, SEAttle!
Citizens: help! My house is on fire!
AA: it's fine. It'll sort itself out on the first day of next year. Don't question it.
4:02 I like the dystopian overtones. Hills are sacred in the hole, so only the chosen few may survive the deluge
Another satisfying presentation of entertaining insanity.
Thank you, sir!
The tsunami not harming the fish and ice factories makes sense
All the materials for their work makes up for the flooding honestly
This was a dumb but legitimately interesting challenge. :) Thanks for thinking of it and going through with it.
ambiguousamphibian: "Today I'm going to build Amsterdam"
Keep up the good work mr.amphibian
Love the video as always!
I was wondering though, how come you never tried FrostPunk? Feel like it would be right up your aisle.
Iirc, the game had some pretty shit bugs that voukd just randomly dead-end you and the devs never fixed them?
@@alchemysaga3745 I don't know, never encountered any of those bugs, though I only have 20 hours in it.
My best guess is because Frostpunk isn’t as open ended as these games. AA likes to create his own stories using the games, whereas frostpunk is much more rigid with its story and goals.
Really fun video, thanks for the effort in it👍
this seems ridiculous until you realize what happens to florida and new orleans every year or so when there's a big storm
I was gonna say Vienna.
The funniest thing about this is that IRL, Seattle is ABOVE sea level...
As a Dutchman, this is a provocative question!
my fish stick factory
Damn, New Orleans simulator 2023 is looking pretty fun.
You certainly are the best and most ambiguous of all the amphibians.
This is like a dystopian novel/ movie. Incredible.
"100 Years of Tsunamis" is definitely an indie band I'd listen to
These videos are nothing short of an art form
Thanks for the vid AA! Love the Channel!
Hilarious concept! Great video! 🤘
I always catch myself smiling by the end of your videos
Let's get amphibious
I like to also call this one 100 years in a modded GTA game but you're the mayor and possibly an amphibian... but nobody else can swim.
any of y'all excited for city skylines 2?
Gonna be a fun year :)
This is officially one of my fav AA vids
9:37
“Long term systemic health risks”
>Shows a reenactment of the Costa Concordia
Honestly seems like a really great sci fi premise
I really like this style of video you put out.
I love how your save files tell a story.
This is going to be referred to years from now and you'll be seen as the next Nostradamus
Super awesome video idea homie
Is this where Kenobi learned the High Ground technique?
8:26 Evergiven flashbacks
When 2013 immediately turned to 2020
I felt that
2014-2018 were such good years tho
My favorite part of this video was when it clicked on my head and I realized "OH, this is just a Galveston Texas simulator" showcasing why is really stupid to build your entire city in a bowl below sea level
Amazing. The Spiffing Brit would be proud
Pre-Poonami Tax Hike is my drag name.
imagine if ambigousamphibian plays kenshi or a similar game again. that shit is nostalgia . much love ambigiousamphibian keep making content. love you bro
Ok after watching the video I noticed that your great story telling continues on in spite of the video games changing. Although I would like a more sandbox approach, your videos are still none the less outstanding. Keep doing what you're doing.
Man this is one wild game of Frostpunk
I actually really enjoyed this challenge :D
Dude I love your videos so much
Congratulations on your marriage Jordan
finally, a new cities skyline video
you're absolutely relaxed for being in that Tsiumai for like 12 something hrs :D
this is an incredible documentary about Florida
The Ice Cube Factory was actually strengthened by the tsunami
Me: Are you flooding this town in order to make it more hospitable for... amphibians, perhaps?
BigPhib: ... ... DON'T QUESTION IT!!!
Me: Let's be philosophical about it, and not give it another thought...
;-)
Frank's fish stick factory got more mystery meat inventory every year
I loved all of the ships just casually glitching out.
Damn, 13 seconds since upload and I just started playing Cities Skylines. Noice.
Was about to hit the bed, then remembered that this dropped today! Sleep will wait. AA comes first! 😅
You should play with the mod that makes disasters 100x stronger
Really amazing, your mastery of the English language is impressive.
