I accidentally viewed this comment before watching the story portion, was very confusing out of context
@@SickoBytesame lol
@@SickoByteMy first thought would have been that it was a sim who did that. 😂 😂
I accidentally saw this comment before the video even started, I was very confused. Now that I’ve watched the video I understand.

13:46 The word "soccer" is a British invention that British people stopped using only around 40 years ago, according to a 2014 paper by University of Michigan professor Stefan Szymanski.
The word "soccer" comes from the use of the term "association football" in Britain, and goes back 200 years.
In the early 1800s, a bunch of British universities took "football" - a medieval game - and started playing their own versions of it, all under different rules. To standardize things across the country, these games were categorized under different organizations with different names.
One variant of the game you played with your hands became "rugby football." Another variant came to be known as "association football" after the Football Association formed to promote the game in 1863, 15 years after the rules were made at Cambridge.
"Rugby football" became "rugger" for short, then "rugby". "Association football" became "soccer."
But it's not called soccer in England
@@Mroziukz🤦♂️
@@Mroziukzliterally the first sentence explained wet that comment is stupid
Classic England, forgetting they invented something, and getting mad at America for using it.
They’re also the reason we don’t use the metric system. Our president wanted to convert to the metric system, but the ship carrying the weights was robbed by British pirates
Biffa showed how you can activate dev mode, to build outside the city borders, to cross that span in the corners.
oooh good intel. making me glad i read the comments out here
finally i found a use for my literacy.@@1brocktune
How to get dev mode
It looks like the land ownership in the American West. All along the original transcontinental railroad, every other square mile was given to the Railroad companies. So today there are still large swaths of land that are checkerboarded areas of private/public lands. (Public lands, another very American thing)
How the fuck is public fans an American thing 🤦🏻♂️
"This reminds me of a terrible road in Cardiff!"
Man has a grudge 😂
46°07'00.1"S 169°57'50.1"E Reminded me of this road in Milton NZ, started building the road from both ends on the right hand side of the line.
Hey Matt, do you think you could do an all bridge city??
If anyone can do it, an engineer can.
How does he build this stuff so quick I haven’t even left the first tile after 4 days lmao
the magic of editing
This is his job. He probably plays between 5 and 8 hours a day. Pretty easy to progress in a single edited video in that amount of time. I get about an hour or maybe two a day to game. So it would take me probably 4 days to get to this point if I played the same game every day, so it makes sense. You can progress incredibly quick when this is your full time job.
@@skylinelibertarian3835no its because he’s a real civil engineer
the magic of edit... oh someone already commented that.
Yeah it's in the edit. Also, and I'm not hating because his style is just to have fun, but he puts very minimal thought into actually designing a city (unless it's for the meme lol.) He just plops stuff down wherever. Pretty quick to fly through the progressions like that.
Matt, I was wondering what is the steepest gradient you can build a fully functioning city on, maybe a micro city on a cliff edge could be fun but a full size city would be awesome to see
I wonder if they're ever gonna add civil/natural features like creeks, floodplains, reservoirs, retention ponds, wetlands, grassland, forest preserves, etc. A lot of these are natural but react differently to different disasters. Minor disasters would be nice too. Water main breaks, transformer failures, vandalism that actually does something, etc.
I'm in Cardiff, and the example you showed is quite hilarious. I might check it out if I'm in town tomorrow!
Would love to see a hexagon city
I think he's done that.
And there are still many more patterns waiting to be explored
I think we know which pattern he’ll do next, and it’s very efficient.
bro predicted the future
A cliff city, there every tile is on the highest and lowest altitude.
You know, funny enough, it was the brits that first called soccer "soccer." We kept saying it the same when we became a nation and in typical brit fashion, you had to be different so you changed the name to football. Little history of the word there for ya lol
Imagine your brand new house that you have been saving for your whole life gets demolished just because the city planner says it's "off the checkerboard grid"
The grain farms are doing really well on non-fertile land 😂
OK, you just wing down some grids, practically willy-nilly, add stuff WHEREVER, and you easily upgrade your city just like that! Here I am trying to follow tutorials and be precise and pretty and plan stuff out... Dang. I'm going to try your way. Looks like a load of fun! Thanks for this, I needed a good giggle today!
The water industry bit was good😂
privatized water sounds problematic as fuck lmao
@@reecedoggg I mean, you're not wrong...
I really do love a side track to google street view to see garbage roads 😂 (my old job involed staring at ground imagery so I really do get a kick out of it)
New series idea, see if you can recreate popular cities in this game. Bring the wheel of bridge-tune over to city skylines!
I really enjoyed this one; it helps me get over trying to make a "perfect" city. There are loads of pros and cons to different designs, and it'll be fun to find out what they are.
I was not expecting that type of story time 😂😂😂
loving your content
can you please make a perfect city series
like which is perfect in all ways?
He did but you have to be a patreon.
The Engitopia isn't perfect?
So a city full of strong shapes? :D
@@fishermastergrWAY too much knobs
@@fishermastergr Yes Engitopia is perfect but from not all angles
I wonder what playing chess on this looks like, like what happens when you take out a tower? Or, 2 towers?

@@Hungary_0987 and I will drive there in my Porch 911
did u really say that...
A forever war.
You must embrace the architectural engineer inside you. Build only in circles and roundabouts.
Thanks for another very entertaining video. The sizes of buildings in Cities Skylines 2 is baffling. From my North American experience elementary and high schools are larger than football (soccer) pitches and the waterpark would be larger than than any of those. Yet in the game the water park is the smallest by quite a bit.
the way he built this city is dystopian, the cole mine next to the only recreation😭😭
I love going out to play tennis and developing my lungs so they can better inhale that coal dust!
This is literally how the land between Seligman and Williams Arizona is laid out. It’s just a checkerboard of 250 acre squares between private land and state trust land. No cities, just cabins. But it exists in the world.
"There are no shortcuts in engineering"
Jesus fuck I wish every engineer thought like you Matt. I had an engineer at work tell me that the part they needed MUST exist, because it was on a blueprint. That part did not in fact exist and it was the most obscure fucking thing ever. They drew and created that blueprint.
'Story time with Matt' was hilarious, instantly subbed. Love a fellow Brit just doing his thing, hope you're enjoying the game.
Looking forward to more CS2 content Matt 👍🏻
Love your vids, fun and, educating and because of you I am thinking about getting an engineering degree!
SAME!!!
Boy are you in for a shock when you find out what engineering really is 😂 Especially civil or structural engineering, it's like being in maths class forever except you never get to do the good maths.
I was really good at math and still am so@@kunimitsune177
I always enjoy Cities Skylines Videos. Keep doing that streams Matt. 👍
Nice dig at private water! 😂😉 Also nice shout out to Biffa, he talked about you on his recent episode. Nice to see such comradery from the community! Thanks for another great episode! 😊
6:32 Matt: Now no one will ever know
The Viewers: I literally saw your whole city
I somehow perfected the time 6:32 😂
18:35 Matt, horses have a great taste, and tatars or Kazakhs can agree.
9:26 SUCH IRONIC TALK MATT
I recently saw a video describing a hexagonal grid for city planning. Pretty much never used in real life. I wonder how it would work for City Skylines 2. A future challenge, perhaps?
Here’s a few ideas I had since I can’t play the game myself 😢:
1. A mountain range city/ “Floating city” 3 or more cities places on the peak of mountain tops connected by bridges, walkways or train as well as a few towns at the base. Of each mountain.
2. Using the grid feature to recreate Manhattan (NYC) which is my home.
3. A hexagon City made of smaller hexagons
4. A City of islands that all connect to a single hub island/city center.
5. Outlandish class dividers, upper class lives closer to the city center and parks, middle class is a short drive or Public transportation ride away, lower class lives in the slums and is the furthest away from amenities maybe going as far as having to traverse a bridge or 2
Yeah, perfect world, roads don't have to jank around an electric pillar. But I've also seen some that went around a tree, so I know others that exist than your example at the college. :)
3:35 “People need lungs to live”- Matt 2023
I'd like to see proper city planning in the next video. Can you do a circular city, with roads like cogs on a wheel, or a giant round-a-bout, with dense commercial in the city center, dense residential in the next layer out, medium and low residential as you go out further, and industrial on the outer-most layer, not forgetting to keep most of the map pristine for nature?
In America we're so used to sprawling suburbs that our city planners have forgotten that we need forests and open plains.
I was not expecting to hear a Sk8er Boi referance in a RCE video... you surprise me everyday, Matt.
I WAS THINKING THE SAMEEE
The British actually used to call Soccer "Soccer" first. It is short for "Association Football" (Assoc'er -> socc'er) to distinguish it from any other variant from the island, especially "Rugby Football". This artificial "don't call it soccer" trope is absurd, since this is what YOU used to call it.
14:23 how random to let us know where you studied XD
18:34 b-but they are a good way to supplement iron if your body is lacking!
Grids work really well when you have very flat land and use four-way stops. The Great Plains are *full* of cities aligned on a grid, generally with a major road every mile. It's part of the reason we probably will never switch to metric. Measuring the distance between arterial roads would involve too many decimal spaces.
14:07 its called a chicane mate in track language, a left followed by a right or the other way around🤠
Fun fact: "soccer" is still a British name for the sport. It comes from distinguishing between "rugby football" and "association football". A "soccer" was someone who played "asSOCciation football" - SOC-cer.
16:28 "Maybe I *do* wanna get into American football..." LMFAO
you can also have tunnels to connect the tiles
I loved the part of your video where you said, "It's bridge time," and bridged all over your city. Truly one of the cities of all time.
I’m certain that I’m not the only person that when RCE uploads run to the kitchen get drink and food and relax (especially on city skyline vids)
You’re not
Can we get a part two of just building a checkerboard city or a series
What's funny about the football-soccer debate is that the word "soccer" was coined by a Brit. As a Canadian, I grew up watching the CFL and calling the North American game football... but I call it all football now since starting to watch the EPL and Bundesliga regularly, and I think most North Americans are unaware of the origins of the game we call football having its roots in rugby... but that's a rant for another time and place.
"The checkered city is the perfect city, it runs perfectly"
Checkered City: Running at a 16k loss PER HOUR.
i imagine a checkerboard city in real life would just have massive problems with wildlife. like in the middle squares where wildlife is surrounded by either suburb or city, crossing into another wildlife square would just cause chaos in the livable areas between the squares. in america we still have mountain lions and bears, as well as deer, opossums, racoons and other wildlife that come into residential areas so i cant imagine this would be any better.
13:51 Ummm, actually, the British came up with the name soccer as part of a fad where they were obsessed with adding -er to the end of words(or something). The Americans decided to use it, but the British later decided they didn't like it and the Americans chose not to join them. I'm sure there's a lot more to it than that, but that's all the etymological history related to this topic I know, so there.
16:29 “Oh my goodness, what are they? Maybe I do want to get into American football”
Lmao
If the people living in that house were happy when the house caught on fire and walked out like they did it was definitely Arson and I bet they made that kid do it!
This is basically a half finished game released in its beta stage. The devs basically save a ton of money by just having people who buy it this state and just report bugs back to the devs for free, which they later might or might not repair and might just leave it to that hands of modders.
I mean mods are pretty much what brings the lifeblood of the last game.
They really half-asseed this...
17:36 storytime with Matt gave me a therapy ad, it listens and knows
I watch your videos from my recommendations so often that I never even realised I wasn't actually subscribed to you. "If I get 2m subs before Christmas" was a good reminder. 😅
I like how Matt is worried about how the arm is near the highway, and not about how the.... blade? Is probably big enough to park a hundred cars on the side of it....
there are enough tiles to make the strongest shape city lay out now
I applaud this man for managing to squeeze 5 minutes worth of gameplay into a 22 minute video.
I’m happy I subscribed because there was such a long break that I forgot about the series and I was pleasantly surprised to see another ep
I think unlocking the additional tiles to build your road without paying for them is in the spirit of the rules.
There is a highway roundabout exit mod for Cities Skyline 1 or OG or whatever. It is upgradeable and a massive patience saver when it comes to arguing with road heights and making bridges happen over other roads.
This was a very good video, honestly would love to see multiple videos of this city type!!
fun fact, the british came up with the name Soccer as a shortening for Association Football and the name football originally was just a generic pejorative to mock any "filthy peasant sport" played on your own feet and not from horseback. so basically all poor people sports were called soccer until relatively recently in history.
The game where people can identify as Helicopter, get a surgery to look like one and walk with the crowd like it's the most normal thing...
Such Progressive. Very Inclusive. WoW.
15:56 As an American I love Matt's American impression
If the checkerboard layout is strong, the strongest shape layout must be unstoppable.
Fractal citylines next !! Sierpiński Triangle and all that good stuff ^^ thanks to yoour ingenuity and civility. Love from MTL
The unused blank plots of land could be used for farming and other livestock uses and the allowed plots can be used for buildings and industries etc, it would still keep it checkboard but with a mix of rural and urban areas.
gotta love when im already rewatching old cities skylines videos then i get this notification… yay!
As a wise man once said "so the plan is that all the pollution from the cars will go straight into all the parks to like clean up the area" a true way to toughen up the children's immune system
Bro has the most random ideas but they entertain us! 😂😂
From trying to get a skatepark in my hometown Matt, I can tell you that almost every skatepark is "architectually designed" - where we could do with alot more engineers! But going to Swansea University, did you ever go down to the Skatepark down by the Leisure Centre in Swansea? Might very well have skated together and not known it! :D Cariad fawr - Much love!
14:30 That's a street? That would be considered a narrow walking path in America! 🤔
yes lets just forget that the word soccer is actually originated from Oxford University, and is just another example of how whenever Americans would try to conform with words the British would get stuck up and change how they spoke as response.
"Maybe i wanna get into american football"💀
Matt: "Disclaimer: please don't eat the horses. Horses are nice."
Me, who knows a thing or two about the temperaments of horses and cows:
Me, who just remembered you eat the steer instead of the heifers: 🤦♀️
I loved the American accent when you were placing the SOCCER FIELD
It's all downhill to the cemetery? Sounds like life, mate :P
14:54 - you should name that road the "Cardiff bend road" :)
19:35 Police is on the way to arrest some architects. I love that matt have a beef with architects 😂😂😂🔝
Grids are good 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
England: "Here;s this great game we invented. It's called soccer."
US: "Awesome, thanks!"
England: "Wait, no!"
Woo, shout out to Biffa! The Best city engineer, toast a cuppa tea to him! 💜
RCE: mentions horse hydra
LGIO: heavy breathing
I Would LOVE TO LIVE HERE! Keep it up I watch your videos everyday! And in love them.
I really think you should make a new series of another consistent play through of city skylines! I following throughs city growing not as much a new one every time.
Wow, almost two million subscribers, It feels like you released the "Truss me i'm an Engineer" song yesterday!
13:46 soccer is technically not wrong, it is actually shorthand for "associated football". At the time it was invented Rugby football was already popular so in order to distinguish the two football games apart, rugby football was shortened to "rugger" and associated football was shortened to "a'soccer" and later just soccer.
Have to audibly laugh at every architect jab. Gotta love it.
Perhaps we can just remember that football started as a game played with a head sized rock. It is called football because it is about running. Nobody is kicking a head sized rock.
There was a fire on 105 Hawthorne Street and there are 6 residentials.. outside were three and a few seconds later you can see the "waiting for hearse" symbol.. R.I.P.
Didn’t expect the random reference and Google map lesson of my old university bendy road!
Can you imagine building your dream house along with your very successful business just for your mayor to destroy both because he wants his city to look like a checkerboard.
3:33 I never knew that thanks so much!!
"maybe I should get into American football"... Omg that was hilarious!
