I legit love the story and the progression of this series! From medieval to renaissance, to pre WWI, WWII, the cold war era and now the modern era. I love the juxtaposition of old and new next to each other!
I've not watched the series yet - just stumbled over Akruas right now - , but this sounds suspiciously like donoteat01's Frankling series should've been.
this series is incredible, the history, the story, the detailing, realism. It reminds me of the Mars series, like next level Cities: Skylines, but RUclips content in general. I come from a east European excommunist country and this gives a hole new perspective and explains so much about those times. They don t teach history like this.
Right? I think this series could be complementary material for school kids. It's entertaining and educational. To me, this is the best CS series on YT.
@@2727daqwid there is one series by play curiosity that explores the very early beginnings of zagreb from nothing to a small independent city it is amazing and can represent the creation of many european cities but it is quite short which can also be an advantage. I know there was also a series for american cities when european first came to colonies but i can t remember the creator, if someone can remember pls comment
cant wait for altengrad to join the EU in 2009 (which would also come with tourism id assume/revitalisation/commercialisation of the downtown) small note/request. should definetly turn some old soviet building into a nightclub (berghain) Althaus would be a great name Alt refering to alternative and altengrad (edit: and haus being german for house ofc)
The Palast der Republik wasn't at the Alexanderplatz. The Alexanderplatz is about 1 km east behind the rail tracks. The Palast der Republik was at position where the Schloss/Humbold-Forum is today. The open spaces around the Palast der Republik are Schlossplatz, Lustgarten and Marx--Engels-Forum. (Anyway: Very nice episode again! Thank you)
A perfect episode to end the 80's! I really like the end scene, inspired by the demonstrations right in front of the Palast der Republik in Berlin, will inside the last birthday party f the GDR took place. May I ask, how you have managed to get this old TV asthetics? Fabulous work as always, looking forward to the "wild" 90's.
@@Akruas Thanks a lot for your aswer. As I do not play Cities:Skylines myself, I did not know all the features. I've hoped, it was some kind of a editing programm feature to make it look like shown on an old TV set - I am looking for something like this to gain this effect for my own videos (with deal with model railway of the GDR).
Late 80s we did a yearly autumn school trips to Tatra Mountains in Slovakia which were fantastic. 1989 we had to get passports since going with just ID cards was over. It took 2 weeks to get them, showing up at the police station every two days or so. I have no idea how my teacher convinced police to give a bunch of school kids passports, what a hero.
Doing a full building and an amazing plaza all in PO and it looking awesome to end with a huge example of historic capabilities of SC with these shots using the sound of the era... simple amazing, Akruas
There's a good book on why the Revolutions of 1989 happened so quickly and why their extent was so unexpected - "Private Truths, Public Lives" by Timur Kuran. The basic argument is that so many had been hiding their true beliefs under communism that nobody realized just how widespread the discontent was. Once the movement picked up enough steam, more and more people felt empowered to join and it quickly snowballed in a way nobody foresaw.
Oh my, with every single episode you manage to top the previous ones. You're raising the bar to extremely high levels and I'm here for it! Amazing stuff. Especially that footage at the end was chef's kiss.
Outstanding. No city and no build in CS1 that I no of feels so “living” and real as Altingrad. Thanks for al the time you put on preparing and sharing al the knowledge. I lived this times from the western side of the iron curtain, as a teenager. Really interesting. And your building skills, of course, there are no words 😅Cheers and keep Altingrad living, please
I’m probably gonna be the minority here but I absolutely love the design of these 70s and 80s buildings, and the interiors of Prague’s congress center are simply amazing!
It's interesting in the case of East Germany to note just how sudden and unexpected the end was. Of course the Monday prayers and demonstrations had been going on all year - but the announcement of the immediate opening of the border i.e. fall of the Berlin Wall was a huge mistake by the government. They sent out some minor minister to do a press conference and didn't give him details. The border was planned to be opened later, presumably in a more controlled manner, but when asked for a timescale he just said "As far as I know, immediately" which led to citizens overwhelming the border posts. The Stasi and police also came close to violently cracking down on one of the biggest marches in Leipzig but decided not to. Things could have ended very differently!
A thing that would fit perfectly this year would have been a new large boulevard that just cuts throught the old neightborhoods and a HUGE parlament building at the end of it (something similar to the Palace of the Parliament from Bucharest). Anyways, great video! Keep going on with the awensome work
16:05 the name of shopping centre next to Hotel Kyjev in Bratislava was called Prior... then it changed names a few times but it's been renamed back to Prior recently 😎
love the series♥maybe u find some inspiration for the 90's in my home town potsdam in east germany i know they build a huge shopping mall in one of the residencial areas from the soviet era.
I am German and I am well aware of recent history, but the way you tell it is really fascinating. Very easy to grasp, and I was not aware about the nature of nature of change in the satellite states.
Awesome video The addition of the protests is amazing and helps add a bit more story and life to this, like the ww2 video once did I love this entire series and honestly hope that the city will improve once the communist era ends (returning some old buildings like irl)
I really hope, he saved all the evolution states of the city separately... At the end (Altengrad 2100 ?), we REALLY need a special episode with cinematics of all the parts of the city through time - from the beginning to the end. I love it when you can clearly see from the same perspective how a location has changed over time.
The yellow windows are actually an early form of anti-UV coating. Later on they developed coatings that didn't have a colour, like the window tint you see in cars today, and I believe that clear coats are even available
@@True_NOON Oh, god no. Western liberal socialism is everything that was bad in communism, without any of the good, while also adding in a ton of hedonism and nihilism.
I love that rp. Please do it in future. Because this building chronologicaly is such a great concept. You could do north american city in cs 2 once its more optimised. Because north american cities had realy diferent way of development.
Amazing video as always ! With the end of Asturis and the beginin of the fall of the soviet regim in Altengrad, it's clearly the End Of A Era on your Channel. Thoses crouded shots at the end made me very nostalgic about the CityWokCityWall Mars Serie, and the fact that he quit youtube soon after. Maybe you could take some inspiration from him for your next project and push it futher ? I love your work and i'm so sad that Asturis is over, i'm so hyped for the next project ! Hope you kept the inspiration ! Keep going man ! I wait impatiently for your videos every Friday ! Kiss from France !
Sad episode... At least, we still have those beautiful castle. Hope. you don`t want to rebuild all of historical buildings, which are of greatest interest of Altengrad.
I stopped in first second and saw Zieleniak, wich is in northern Poland, and Pałac Kultury i Młodzieży, wich is in central Poland. What kind of funky town is this? Gonna find out in 20 minutes.

Old and new next to each other is how European cities built organically during the centuries.
I've not watched the series yet - just stumbled over Akruas right now - , but this sounds suspiciously like donoteat01's Frankling series should've been.
Seeing mass scale anti government protests in C:S is something to live for
we need a political mod
@@nashwagemakers YES
A bit like in SimCity back in the days, just so much better! :D
21:41 Love the addition of this clip. I hope to see more of this in the coming episodes
Reminds me of the WWII episode

@@2727daqwid im 13 and this is the main reason how i learnt about the eastern bloc lol
Palast der Republik building in the workshop: *exists*
Akruas: casually POing his own version from scratch
I legit yelled "nooooooo" at the exact moment old building got deleted in 0:40 lol. But nice work as always
I really hope it will come back, like some reconstructions of East Germany buildings in the 21st century, but with modern techniques.
same
@@1789Henrique I also hope that, since it was done irl and this mostly follows irl events
It probably will happen here too
don't worry the new neoliberal govt. will build a replica Prussian palace there in the 2020s
That had me sobbing
I get why the palace of the public was demolished (lead and asbestos are no joke), but god that was a hot building
Loved the ending! You should incorporate more role-play kind of stuff like that in the upcoming episodes.
The ending footages are insanely well constructed!!! Congrats on this whole series!!
21:27 I love that ending transition.
The start of postcoldwar age.
Also your own made goverment building is many times better than that german one.
cant wait for altengrad to join the EU in 2009 (which would also come with tourism id assume/revitalisation/commercialisation of the downtown)
small note/request. should definetly turn some old soviet building into a nightclub (berghain)
Althaus would be a great name
Alt refering to alternative and altengrad
(edit: and haus being german for house ofc)

The end of an era for Altengrad. Ready for the future, can’t wait to see new changes coming. Awesome episode as always.
a cliff hanger ending to an akruas video? i wouldve never though id ever see this

great video man, super impressed by the PO wizardry to create a whole building out of nothing but cubes, super existed by the new decade.
I also super exist
@@theorixlux need to add typing errors to show i'm not a bot, hope you understand.
Super existing is the new trend in life optimization
@@user-xr7id8me5t hahaha !!!
It’s either a testament to how far the tech in Cities: Skylines has come, or to just how basic and simple Modernist architecture was at this point
Can't wait for some patodeweloperka in the 90s and 00s
I personally hope to see all the villas in Podnikatelské baroko style 😅😅

Part 89 of Altengrad is 1989. He's genious!
Let's party like it's 1989 again. Lol.
Wonderfull episode of Altengrad! Great storyline and amazing building design. You keep getting better! You make CS1 still look amazing.
Absolutely beautiful episode like always 👍
The last clip was amazing
This series is an incredible achievement. Simply the best. Can't wait to see what comes next.
Oh my, with every single episode you manage to top the previous ones. You're raising the bar to extremely high levels and I'm here for it! Amazing stuff. Especially that footage at the end was chef's kiss.
Love the effort you put in this series. Not only you build but you also tell a story. No doubt my favourite city.
I love this Project so much. Everything about this series is just so amazing.
It would be cool to add Slovakian flag after split and united germany after unification.
I've been following since the begging, thanks for posting to this day. Truly exceptional work.

not gonna lie, the when the “tv footage” came on i for half a second thought it was actual historical footage

I see your plan... You're transforming Altengrad into Asturis in the future.... 😅
Another fantastic episode.👍
Can't wait to see the changes in the 90s and later the 2000s.
The builds are as always amazing, but that video at the end was on another level! Loved it!!

3 minutes in: “oh that’s a cool IKEA”.
I can't wait for this series to progress through the 90s and into the new decade!

I wonder if the trademark is held by the same company as in Czechia
@@serebii666 possibly yes, those stores were famous back in ČSSR days 🤷🏻♂
love the series♥maybe u find some inspiration for the 90's in my home town potsdam in east germany
i know they build a huge shopping mall in one of the residencial areas from the soviet era.
Terrifyingly realistic. Love the work, hate the inspirations!
Great detail st the end of the vídeo! I loved it
Love the police cordon - a great touch.
Not dead, its a break.
This series is beyond amazing
Cinematic at the end was a very good surprise!
Your work is so amazing! I really wonder, when CS2 will get to where CS1 is now. I hope the CS1 content never dies!
And why did I hear "Heidi" two times
I am German and I am well aware of recent history, but the way you tell it is really fascinating. Very easy to grasp, and I was not aware about the nature of nature of change in the satellite states.
POV 0:46 you saw building model, that is also in another game. Workers and Resources Soviet Republic
Awesome video
The addition of the protests is amazing and helps add a bit more story and life to this, like the ww2 video once did
I love this entire series and honestly hope that the city will improve once the communist era ends (returning some old buildings like irl)
The new palace is beautiful, I hope 'they' would keep it as sort of conference/concert venue
I personally like city skylines 1 over 2 and great vide btw!!!
Waow ! It's a really stunning work ! Bravo !
I really hope, he saved all the evolution states of the city separately...

Goodbye communism.
Hello capitalism.
Didn't work out so well for the Balkans. The vast majority of people here, want a return to communism.
And maybe in episode 124 hello socialism
@@True_NOON Oh, god no. Western liberal socialism is everything that was bad in communism, without any of the good, while also adding in a ton of hedonism and nihilism.
Goodbye our, hello mine
Its easy to identify what part of the city you would want to visit on vacation
Wow, such a great episode.
finally! i will be released from the altengrad dungeons \o/
I love that rp. Please do it in future. Because this building chronologicaly is such a great concept. You could do north american city in cs 2 once its more optimised. Because north american cities had realy diferent way of development.
Very nicely done, especially the end!
Not one of the best! but the best CS series on RUclips ever!!❤❤
Those protests at the end were glorious! :)
OMG! This episode was hecken amazing!!
Absolute banger of a video
Asside from the amazing narrative .. you are a creative PO GOD!
2:51 I thought my guy was gonna build an IKEA 😂😂
Nah. Missing the blue and yellow.

please make the democratic regime rebuild the old parliament building this is too painful lmao
Ooh can't wait for what's next!
Why was that beautiful building removed?😭
0:39 I thought the block on the left would be the place for the new government building, but no, sadly the beautiful old one got destroyed instead
Ending was surely spectacular.
That hurt ...
I was waiting for this
thanks for the history lesson, very interesting stuff!
Sad episode... At least, we still have those beautiful castle. Hope. you don`t want to rebuild all of historical buildings, which are of greatest interest of Altengrad.
Amazing!
dude this is crazy!!!
WE NEED A TRAM POV VIDEO SOON!!!
Wow you are very skilled and talented, wish I was this good lol! Nice video btw.
you should show the protestors at night with the new lighting!
i wish i could detail my cities like that
