    Guys, stop saying that french cities don't look like that. That it's just Paris and so on. The whole country would need at least 10 region packs to illustrate the diversity of architectures of the country. Let the content creator do their jobs, i'm sure we will end up with a Brittany style or a Alsacian style assets if we give enough time to creators to make them

      @@ApollonDriverwhat the devs NEED to do is entirely subjective. They objectively need to improve performance and foundational mechanics. I still get 5/5 max level office jobs. There’s no technical limitation to adding an extensive French architecture pack. A more extensive asset library won’t slow down the simulation, just load times. And it just so happens that French architecture influenced/shares multiple European architectural styles. CS2 has been out for a year and we’ve received one small architectural pack (when compared to what we would already had if they added the asset editor) and abysmal improvements to the game.

      It could have been a two episodes mini series with a little thought put in, instead of just rushing an unrealistic road layout and dumping services all over. If you just wanted to do a review of the new content you could have done one just looking at the assets and commenting on them, this way not a single new building got any proper attention and you made the whole package look generic in the worst way.
      This is not up to quality with your usual content in my opinion.

    I'm french and I swear we've built things more recently than a century ago but yeah anyway, this looks great. It's just a bit frustrating that the assets only focus on Paris and only in an historic way... Would have loved to see Provence type low density housing, modern and futurist administrative buildings, museums, stadiums... We have modern looking transport infrastructures too... But it does look very nice

    • @Infrastructurist
      @Infrastructurist  День назад +48

      I would always love more assets, haha! But I think Paris is the best place to start as far as a French-themed region pack goes (especially before we have the asset editor) because it represents what most people associate with French architecture (whether rightfully or not) and lays a great foundation to build Paris-inspired. I would love more packs in the future covering other French styles, e.g red-roofed Mediterranean as you mentioned, but I think it's nice that this pack doesn't try to do too much at once because that risks spreading the different zones "too thin", instead of being focused :-) Just my 2 cents - and thanks a lot!

    Hey French here, love your videos, just want to say for French city we rarely use 2 lanes roads, even less 2 lanes + parking, like for example the "Paris Gare Nord" so the big train station is only 1 lanes + parking on the bigger one we can replace the parking for a bus lane in some nice city> We also have a lot of one way road + parking.
    Now on the pack it is looking good, too bad it is againt limited to 90 degrees angles because if you look at paris on a map you will see that most of the corner are not close to 90 degrees, the roads themself are mostly strait it is just the angles they meet at that are wild and I love them for that
    Ps : I enjoy the micro building format over macro quick city one, for a showcase the macro is the only one that make sense but for the regular series micro with a lot of details and tough is what make you unique over other city builder creator

    • @who_is_artis
      @who_is_artis День назад +5

When I load a save, buildings from mods sometimes appear randomly in my small town of only 100 people, and if I try to delete them, the game crashes again.

    Okay so just another comment for non-french viewers : the grey type of mettalic roof is mostly found in Paris, and other cities built and developped in the late 19th and 20th century, damaged and reconstructed after WWII. This is called the hausmannian style. It can be darker than in the assets here though.
    The red tiles roof are found in the south of France, they are very mediterrenean but can be found in the south third of the country. However, red houses are found in the north, but it's the bircks of the walls, and not the tiles.
    A lot of small cities, historic city centres of big cities still have old buildings with bricks.
    In the west side (Britanny, Normandy), there are slate black roofs.
    In general style are not mixed in France at least for housing (low density) : it's either grey, back slate or orange/red roman tiles.
    The low rent french housing assets are so on point, although one could argue it could be eastern european or german-ish. But there is so much architectural variety anyway. Same thing with the signature office building : so on point haha

Also, typical sidewalks/plazas/pedestrian zones would have been great, red cobblestones would have been a good fit here, the gray in gray everywhere on paths is not so nice...

Creators should spend more time on improving the rules of the game so the zoning isn't confined to 90degrees figures with so many roads around. They just should look at that Paris that inspired them in that French pack and see the street layout, see all the plazas and sit and think how they can improve system in the game so it allows that. We really not asking much. Mods are there it's true but still some things can't be done and often popping buildings can destroy a save or functionality of those buildings or completely blow out the buildings demand marker.

    in my opinion, the pack is gorgeous but the colours may be a bit repetitive. i think this pack (and the ones that are still to come) will be suuper sick to COMBINE with the current buildings CS2 has to offer. for example, i could see some of these buildings near the school hub in your easthaven county series. or what about that sick police station, in the middle of your new downtown!
    i liked seeing you build for scale instead of detail for a change, but i can say with certainty that i prefer your more detailed work: it gives me more time to see certain parts of the city because you have to work on it for longer, every part of the city is more memorable, it creates depth, colour and FEELING.

      Would have been nice but I am not sure what I would have "sacrificed" for it - we have to manage expectations :-)

      ​@@Infrastructurist I think the England pack will include low residential, also praying for some commercial buildings.

    Assets look great but am I the only one shocked by the whitish color of these buildings? They look alright when you look at them very closely but as soon as you zoom out it looks odd. That's going to be a pain to change the color of every building with recolor mod.
