Thanks Mr Egg for your honest review :) To explain those random or unfitting highway roads scattered around the maps. it was not allowed to use gravel or normal roads outside of the starting tile. so i had to change them to something similar and the next best fit where the new two lane bus highway networks.
Ah that would make sense!! Thank you for your amazing work bro ❤️ you did an outstanding job with this map pack! Looking forward to starting a new city on one 😌
Just wanted to say I’ve been playing Bay of Rivers and the detailing is so incredible and unique - really appreciate the amount of time and love you poured in to these maps. Thanks for doing them!
I know as a dane we only really got taught about them if we choose certain classes in high school@@jla9285 But I would have thought he knew about them as well, they have the Uffington White Horse in the UK afterall
Honestly I would love to see what you could do with Bay of Rivers. The amount of detailing that just comes with the map plus your unique detailing touch could be really fun to watch!
Love these videos, I always struggle with choosing new maps! I'd really appreciate if you could show the typical 9 tile radius for future map reviews for us console/unmodded players - I've heard this pack produces some strange city layouts without 81 tiles.
My vote is for Land of the Isles. Feels quite different from a lot of your previous cities, interested to see what you'd do with so much water. And you sound really into it.
Great overview of these maps Egg. Love the Nazca Lines reference - must have taken forever for Sidai to copy. These reviews are very helpful and also bring other builders to those of us who might otherwise not know who they are. Thanks Egg.
He 100% set standards for city skylines 2 maps ! (Or next dlc ) Also felt like if next dlc happens itll be ports (as the maps are constantly hinting it )
I appreciate these videos, I’m new to the game and I always have a hard time deciding what map to build on so I watch these videos to help me decide what map will scratch that itch.
Wonderful tier list again, mate! I love that first map, I think your new vanilla series would look great there. Interested to see what the community thinks and of course what map you decide on! Lovely searches as well, I agree that there seems to be some bias against egg shaped maps, like what IS that?? 😍😍😍😍😍❤❤❤❤❤❤🥚🥚🥚🥚🥚🥚🍳🍳🍳🍳
Great promotion and presentation of these maps, with all details necessary. All maps have their audience, I am sure. I would vote for you to do Bay of Rivers next!
Been waiting for your review on maps to start another city. I like temperate maps and so far I love bay of rivers! I love the mountain work in all of these maps though. They're so pretty to look at. I think Land of The Isles or Winding River gets my vote for your next vanilla series.
Thanks for the Map rundown 👍For your next build i'd have to vote 'Winding River', so many opportunities for cute little builds, especially now with pedestrian areas. Nice little Japanese pedestrian rice villages.
Just started building a city on River Delta. Amazing map that I highly recommend. Lots of water, outside connections, and beautifully flat land. 10 out of 10 would play again.
Love your videos and you are the first I go to when cities skylines gets new content. Could you possibly also show the starting tile? I think that would be very useful for vanilla players like myself - because even tho the maps have great features, it dosen't matter if you can't reach all of them within the 9 tile limit.
Thank you! Indeed, someone requested that I also show the 9 tile radius which I will do. I had already recorded this by the time I saw it so will definitely Include it in the criteria on the next map tier list 😌
I've started building a new city on the Land of the Isles map and I'm loving it. I love how it has lots of different areas to build a bigger city in the middle and smaller communities on outer portions of the islands; good for a more of a regional build. I think this would be an excellent map for you to do your next let's play series on. Great video Egg! And excellent maps Sidai!
That highway construction detailing on the first map (Bay of Rivers) is amazing, that alone gets it a vote from me. And it's gorgeous overall too 😍 Love the highway billboards and prop detailing in Desert Valley. The crater reminded me of your ore build in 5b1c season 2. But none of the desert maps are comparable to Ilos
I do like the Bay of Rivers map the most. River maps are my absolute favorite type of maps to build on. I might start a city on that one during the holidays. Hilly strait also looks interesting. Reminds me of a fjord. But I can definetly see this one being a challenge with that small amount of buildable space.
1st map with the bus road along the sea bay you can only use highway outside the start 25 tiles. Bus road is as the only one that doesn’t show a disconnected sign
Thanks for the show room of maps. 💪🏿 I'll really like to see you develop Bay of Rivers. Thanks for all your guides and tutorials. My biggest challenge at this moment is to study the terrain before starting building. Also I'm from the Caribbean so it's really hard for me to see trams and monorails in my cities. 🤣😂
I really appreciate all your videos. I find it hard to start a map, like where to go with the main roads. Watching your videos really helps me and I try to copy them so I can get better. The way you explain stuff makes it a lot easier. Thank you. I vote for bay of rivers or land of isles.
To be honest, Sidai is the best mapmaker by far. His creativity and detailing are very impressive. Although there are a lot of deficiency in vanilla game, he tries to do his best. So I am glad to see this DLC with Sidai's amazing maps.
As a console player anything that says 81 tiles unfriendly gets my vote! So much easier with pre defined natural boundaries to make a good looking city, a natural boundary to the city is probably the hardest thing to achieve on many vanilla maps.
The 2nd desert map with the bridge, going into tunnels, coming out for a short bit and tunneling back out into the desert is giving me some serious Earth Bound vibes where you leave the desert going into some tunnels into fourside over a bridge.
Thanks for the overview on the maps, some quite interesting ones there. As far as the next vanilla city goes, I think Winding Rivers would be very interesting, but you mentioned you don't want to do a tropical one again. I'm thinking Land of Isles could be quite interesting to build on, especially since it seems to be more 9-tile-friendly than some of the others and there's a lot of beach building space.
I have watched all your map review videos and enjoyed very much; I wish you made a video with your personal top 10 favourites that includes workshop, map packs and dlc maps. Or have you done that already?
Land of Isles needs to be your next vanilla map. You've done boreal, you've done snow, you've now done dessert and while I don't know the theme of Diamond Coast, it's time you did something with a lot of water on it. Not having a huge buildable space just means this will be a quicker series, which is fine, cause there's only like 100 "stock" maps to choose from now, so you got a LOT to do
It has to be either of the first two must play options for me (Bay of Rivers and Land of the Isles). Whichever one, you should challenge yourself and incorporate all the half finished junctions, walking paths and motorways as well as those weird bus lane islands. I think either of those would be great N00bs guide maps.
Nice map review as usual egg. I'd hafta agree with catka304 and cast my vote for Bay of Rivers. I'm tempted to get the mappack for the map myself as well as support Sidai for all his contributions.
How about a 9 tile max build, using all DLC , I play on console and follow roughly what you build in each time however once we hit 9, I can't go any further which kills me as you build some fantastic areas later on , love your content and would be great to see you do a noob guide on one of these maps.
You should build the next vanilla city on land of the isles. The vibe of the map fits your cities well! The only thing I don’t like about this map pack is the maps don’t feel like places where cities would be built. I put lots of history and lore into my cities, I feel a lot of these maps don’t feel like they have that history. But overall these maps look good!
Thanks for the Tier List. I'm dismayed that I chose the worst map out of these for a new city. However, the lack of variety in the terrain explains why I'm finding myself building the incredible, sprawling, grid city! Time for a new city again.
i personally can't stand it when the map maker already says.. this is where you should build X. ahead of the time or use ground rescources to paint in farm fields. I really just want a wilderness to figure out myself.
Why the hate for the vanilla European map theme? I don't find it any worse than any of the other vanilla themes? You mentioned a few times in this video, is there some tea I've missed??
Make what you will of my previous comment, but the first map I tried to play was River Plains and I kinda agree that it is pretty boring. I like my buildable areas, but I was not getting any inspiration from that one once I filled out the corner. I'm having a good build on Tabletop Mountains, though. Works very well for 9-tiles. The extended area outside the main 25 might be boring, but all I see is blue fog.
yeah, annoying. Move The Mouse put it best, that's it's vanilla players that need maps the most and some of the placement of things means awkward design choices or there are no natural boundaries which can take you out of the game. If you are using mods, you most likely don't need a map pack as you can download whatever from the workshop. 3 extra tiles would do me on PS4 for most maps, but not gonna happen
@@alexmason2595 I don't even want to cram in stuff, just to make the city 'breathe a bit and give it a more natural city limit/use the one obvious tile of massive empty space that makes no sense that you wouldn't build in
Hey everyone I know this is unrelated to the video but in my city I’ve been experiencing a problem and I was wondering if any of you knew how to fix it, I have some modern city center buildings that are in a pedestrian area and on pedestrian roads, they worked perfectly fine for the longest time but now each one of them are complaining about not having enough goods to sell but I have the pedestrian zone distribution center things all placed down so I don’t know what’s happening, do any of you know?

That art on the desert map are replicas of the Nazca Lines in Peru. Very cool they’ve been done here!
I noticed that too! Very nice touch indeed.
I like how one of them is the Paradox Interactive logo too - very clever
I know as a dane we only really got taught about them if we choose certain classes in high school@@jla9285
But I would have thought he knew about them as well, they have the Uffington White Horse in the UK afterall
yeah, im surprised he didn't recognize them
The "Mining Pit" is also a recreation of a famous Meteor Crater in Arizona.
Honestly I would love to see what you could do with Bay of Rivers. The amount of detailing that just comes with the map plus your unique detailing touch could be really fun to watch!
Love these videos, I always struggle with choosing new maps! I'd really appreciate if you could show the typical 9 tile radius for future map reviews for us console/unmodded players - I've heard this pack produces some strange city layouts without 81 tiles.
My vote is for Land of the Isles. Feels quite different from a lot of your previous cities, interested to see what you'd do with so much water. And you sound really into it.
Those factories on the first map, I already decided I am going to put Unique factories there, and use a harbor next-door
JUST THE FIRST MAP IS WORTH THE ENTIRE DLC PRICE OMG THESE ARE AMAZING
Great overview of these maps Egg. Love the Nazca Lines reference - must have taken forever for Sidai to copy. These reviews are very helpful and also bring other builders to those of us who might otherwise not know who they are. Thanks Egg.
Amazing maps, I just had to get the pack. I used your ig links of course. Thanks for this wonderful review Egg! 💙
Land of the Isles is the personal favourite here, closely followed by Bay of Rivers, astonishingly beautiful maps.
He 100% set standards for city skylines 2 maps ! (Or next dlc )
Also felt like if next dlc happens itll be ports (as the maps are constantly hinting it )

Can you build on the side of the mountains on any of these maps? I wanna have a mountainous neighborhood

Definitely a vote for Winding River. That massive ore island, I'm sure you'd make the most epic build out of it.
3rd map them drawings are Aztec lines. One of them is the paradox sign
That highway construction detailing on the first map (Bay of Rivers) is amazing, that alone gets it a vote from me. And it's gorgeous overall too 😍

Awesome map pack. Thank you for the review.
1st map: that random bit of road is to symbolise a run off ramp for trucks when the brakes fail
I adore the Bay of Rivers map! That ones got my vote :)
Always look forward to your opinions on new content ✌️ far too much for me to keep up with on my own, appreciate you.
Bay of Rivers is my favorite, but I ended up going with Land of the Isles for my city and am really loving it so far.
To be honest, Sidai is the best mapmaker by far. His creativity and detailing are very impressive. Although there are a lot of deficiency in vanilla game, he tries to do his best. So I am glad to see this DLC with Sidai's amazing maps.

Love this series. Could you please do an episode for the Airports DLC so we can have a complete list of all Vanilla/DLC maps
The Google search tabs at the top of the screen at the start of the vid. 🤣
Was waiting on this ❤️
The 2nd desert map with the bridge, going into tunnels, coming out for a short bit and tunneling back out into the desert is giving me some serious Earth Bound vibes where you leave the desert going into some tunnels into fourside over a bridge.
Great job mate lovely video keep pushing🥳
I want to see you do either 'Hilly Strait' or 'Bay of Rivers'

I know Noob Yolk is tropical… but my goodness would I enjoy seeing you build on Winding River! You sound excited just talking about it!
These maps are absolutely gorgeous and so ingenious. Amazing pack.
I have watched all your map review videos and enjoyed very much; I wish you made a video with your personal top 10 favourites that includes workshop, map packs and dlc maps. Or have you done that already?
Thanks for the amazing video! Lots of good maps but Land of the Isles should be the one for the guide imho.

Winding River was the first map I chose to build on. I would love to see your new build on it too
Land of isles, for the nex noob guide :D thanks for the video, the maps are amazing!
I have not been able to pick one to try since they are so well done.
For the next build, I have to vote for either winding river or bay of rivers
Land of the isles is gonna be where my 2nd city is gonna be built. Thanks for rating the map egg, now ik where my city is gonna be built
Definitely Bay of Rivers or Land of Isles please egg!! What a stunning map pack overall though and thank you for rating them for us :)
For me is winding river is tha map for you to replace the vanilla build noobs guide, cant wait to see your creative idea with that map!
It has to be either of the first two must play options for me (Bay of Rivers and Land of the Isles). Whichever one, you should challenge yourself and incorporate all the half finished junctions, walking paths and motorways as well as those weird bus lane islands.

Winding River for next map. I wanna see what you do with that ore area
only watched Bay of Rivers. What an amazing map. would love to build all over that, but stuck with 9 tiles being on console
I'd like to see you play on River Delta. I'd also like to see me play on River Delta. Great Vid!
I can’t pick a favourite out of those must plays! They’re all very good
Nice review of these maps! Just an FYI, neither Utah or Arizona are in the Midwest.
What map are you choosing for your next vanilla build? I'd quite like to see you try Winding River, looks cool.
Needed this one, thanks
Oil barons rejoice! Not sure which map I'll try next. :) Great review Egg
can you tell me what mod camera you doing that? to zoom in so close
for the next map, i'd say bay of rivers. I bet you could do amazing things on it
You should build the next vanilla city on land of the isles. The vibe of the map fits your cities well! The only thing I don’t like about this map pack is the maps don’t feel like places where cities would be built. I put lots of history and lore into my cities, I feel a lot of these maps don’t feel like they have that history. But overall these maps look good!
I would say Bay of Rivers. That’s the most fascinating one for me.
Winding River - would be great for the next build
Thanks for the Tier List. I'm dismayed that I chose the worst map out of these for a new city. However, the lack of variety in the terrain explains why I'm finding myself building the incredible, sprawling, grid city! Time for a new city again.
Which map would this be?
Oh nice i was just thinking a few minutes ago if this video was up or not lol
New vanilla play through.... HELL YEAH!
Would love to see a Bay of Rivers build!
Hilly Straight has strong Juneau, Alaska (US) vibes. I’d be surprised if it weren’t part of the inspiration for the map.
Land Of The Isles for the next map ☺ I love tropicaal themed maps an this is absoluteley adorable.
I think winding river would be great to see you build on
The Midwest is east of here (Utah and Arizona).
So there’s no color correction/ tint colors on console??
Can you do a tire list for CCPs? Thanks.
Since mountain plains (the map I'm using on console at the moment)is a B-tier what map would you recommend for a console user?
I think a city on Hilly Straits or Bay of Rivers would be cool
The crater is more a meteor crater than a volcano.
It is indeed a representation of the barringer crater in Arizona, USA
i personally can't stand it when the map maker already says.. this is where you should build X. ahead of the time or use ground rescources to paint in farm fields.
I really just want a wilderness to figure out myself.
OE, my vote is for Winding River. That ore isle is the best feature of all the maps. DO IT!🙏🏾
Could you do It with ccp dlc?
A tier list? There's already one in the playlist bro
I cannot seem to find bay of rivers in steam workshop...
It's not on the workshop mate, it's in Sidais content creator pack
I'm patiently waiting for episode 5 for your creative mode series.......... But it's killing me haha 😂😉👍
Oh bro ❤️ creative mode will return, I promise
Why the hate for the vanilla European map theme? I don't find it any worse than any of the other vanilla themes? You mentioned a few times in this video, is there some tea I've missed??
euro assets are ugly, and don't build well. A euro-themed map means you have to district everything if you don't want the stock euro assets to come in
@@Sweet05cts ohhhh, I had no idea the "biome" affected the game like that
I'm gonna say Winding River for the next build.
I vote for bay of rivers. That is the most detailed map i ever seen
Lets vote guys.
The next vanilla series should be on: "Land of the Isles"
Who is with me?
The hilly strait map looks incredibly fun to play on! Would look great with a focused downtown and snaky villages in the hill valleys!
*sees Overcharged Egg ranking*
*notes which ones are "Must Play," crosses those out*
*notes which ones are B-tier and makes plans*
Ok, thanks!

Whats the problem with these tunnels :V

Too bad about the 9 tile limit for vanilla
yeah, annoying.

3 extra tiles would do me on PS4 for most maps, but not gonna happen
@@simonp1204 I agree, 3 extra tile would be all we need. Even just one tile would made such a difference

Hey everyone I know this is unrelated to the video but in my city I’ve been experiencing a problem and I was wondering if any of you knew how to fix it, I have some modern city center buildings that are in a pedestrian area and on pedestrian roads, they worked perfectly fine for the longest time but now each one of them are complaining about not having enough goods to sell but I have the pedestrian zone distribution center things all placed down so I don’t know what’s happening, do any of you know?
come to the discord; problems arent worked out from YT comments
