Cities Skylines 2, but I only have one tile! 

Going to be playing a lot of this so I want to hear your best challenges and city ideas for Cities: Skylines 2, oh and don't forget to check it out when it releases on 24th October here: play.citiesskylines.com/RealCivilEngineer

Whenever Matt says he is going “off grid” for road design, you know it’s going to be the strongest shape

Finally the devs allow Matt to break their game in brand new ways!

wow this game is so realistic, just standing in the rain doing nothing such a finnish thing to do (only a drink was missing)

I can't believe it took me 9 whole minutes to notice the strongest shape.

"Let's mirror the coastline." The architect said calmly.

Paradox: "We should sponsor an episode of CSL2 with RCE!" Matt, 20 seconds in: "PWHOAR look at that road layout does anyone else see that?" Paradox: "... Ah."

I think it's time to compare the water physics of city skylines 2 vs city skylines 1

20:42 One tile. Nine tiles. Matt is counting like an architect.

Paradox: we'd love to sponsor a video :) Matt: what's your knob policy???

Fun fact: you can expand certain buildings such as the highschool for more capacity or add a sport field! Just click on the building and you’ll see it

12:33 "Jaksu" is a synonym of "energy" in finnish! Brilliant one, devs!

I’m shocked at how quickly he was able to erect all those buildings. What a strong city!

The Finland references are because of the developers of CS1 and CS2 are located in Finland

You can really see the lag! That's what I'm scared for!

9:21 I don't know why I thought he was just drawing random shapes in the beginning. I've been watching this channel long enough to know better so this shouldn't be a surprise anymore but yet it still sometimes catches me by off guard. I guess that's the real reason that the strongest shape will forever rein supreme!

So how are sewer lines designed when there are curved roads everywhere? In my irl city, nearly half the roads are curvy-wurvy

Matt: wants to fill in extra space with more houses* Also Matt: throws shade at America’s gridded city layout

10:05 Finland mentioned!!1!1!1!! Suomi mainittu perkele!!!

I saw you can buy tiles even if there not connected to another one what if you tried doing a city that was checkered style only buying tiles diagonally and none next to eachother?

Ignored all other RU-vidrs playing CS II until Matt got to play it. Worth the wait. I love Matt’s reactions each time his city levels up.

Matt - curious about this game, particularly if they've enhanced water physics at all. Would like to build things like streams, irrigation ditches, or small drainage channels, something that didn't work really well at that much smaller scale with Cities: Skylines.

My friend and I rate bridges IRL because it started as a joke and got out of hand in the best way possible. At least according to us. That bridge review made me so damn happy

Can't wait to pick this up at some point. Hopefully the devs actually manage to sort out the admitted performance issues they plan to release with by then.

First thing Matt does on a city building game: build a bridge

The rapid water near the prison could be a good spot for a hydroelectric power plant. Just stick a dam in there. The awkward small useless pieces of land between the private houses could have giant wind propellers. And you could set up subway trains and put the largest roads into tunnels too. That would save enough room to add some large malls and what not.

As a civil engineer, im mainly here for the architecture shade 🤣🤣🤣 very entertaining commentary to a very interesting game!

Im so excited to watch every single cs2 video from matt im literally just watching my pc be wasted until this game comes out

It's very nice and enjoyable to see you get so happy and excited for a game and finally getting to play it!! I'm definitely looking forward for more !

The TTP on this video was longer than I was expecting...I mean we knew what all those roads were going to be, but almost 10 minutes before the full Monty was impressively restrained for Matt.

As a Finnish person seeing all those proud Finns waving the flag, I must say SUOMI MAINITTU! Torilla tavataan PERKELE!!!!

YES, YES, YESSS!!! I LIKED WATCHING THE GAME FROM RU-vidRS I KNOW, BUT NONE OF THEM ACTUALLY KNOW HOW TO MAKE A LONG-TERM FUNCTIONAL CITY AND IT WAS SO SKSKDJDJSKSKSK So, thank you. Your knowledge is invaluably appreciated.

9:21 such a intriguing design I will take notes boss!

1:06 That is a very tight roundabout. Normally they have broad angles so traffic can flow more freely and semi trucks can make it around.

You know its a better game when you can build finland accidentally

can hear the « xmas has come early » tone in your voice, and it makes me happy 😂

11:49 thats a really interestinng shape you've got your city in xD

I love the the beginning of what I think will be a great game. Even if it will be perhaps costly with dlc. But my one wish that I used to think a CS sequel would bring would be that individual plots would connect despite curved roads. Fences could line up at whatever angle is needed. Their could be certain things like gardens/pools that always line up with the back of the house. Trees/garden sheds etc could connect to a back or side fence line. Then the grass yard texture could fill to fit the rest of the property within its fence line no matter the size or shape. More larger buildings and commercial/industrial could be fine with just adding more concrete ground textures in the blank spaces. There might be more games but I remember playing the Manor Lords demo and seeing that they did something like this for the little house plots and I was thinking the next Cities game would do this. But I’m back to filling in as many trees as I can in between houses to disguise the empty spots.

One thing im actually hoping for is that the Devs will include nice tools for Road Management. Cant wait to play this

Can't wait for Engitopia 2

nice one matt, pat on the back. he is drawing out the first lines of his road network and you know: he is going to do it, again, and i love it 🤣🤣

We do be getting the part 2s to all the old videos 🔥

He actually did it, got CS2. Still wish they made RCE play it while lifted up by a crane

Finland mentioned 🇫🇮💪🏻 Hope they have saunas there.

your positivity and enthusiasm are absolutely wonderful!! "the bridge is threatening me" i almost rolled of my couch lauging🤣

9:21 oh. RCE: Plays any game for the first time RCE seconds later: funny shape haha

Ive been waiting for this since cities skylines 2 was announced

So glad you got a copy at last and the devs saw sense but where the hell is the scaffolding going up then unravelling to reveal a new building? Gutted that's not there, one of the best things in a city builder is a new building being revealed in that way.

Colossal Order are Finnish Matt. You are always building Finland when playing their game

HE FINALLY GOT IT!

I've been waiting for this one :)

Soon as RCE didn’t make a knob with the roads straight away especially after all the set up about curved roads I realised the Devs obviously made a deal, we will sponsor you but no knobs on the first play through!! EDIT-- he just zoomed out…. Devs obviously were slipping when negotiating the sponsorship

This has been long overdue. I’m so excited that the devs finally gave Matt early access!

SO excited to see new cities and myth busting! RCE, is it possible to turn that motion blur off? Looks like it might be bringing down your framerate, and makes me feel queasy. lol

I love watching RCE’s videos, especially the city builders. I have to comment on the “30% is nothin’” line though. That’s a lot of taxes.

I am so excited for Matt's Cities Skylines II videos!!

In Germany we have a very stupid dad joke in the official naming of these bridges to nowhere: They're called a "Soda-Brücken"/"soda bridges". But Soda is not only meaning sparkling water, but you can write it "so da": "Just there". A very stupid dad joke on a nationwide level.

cant wait for the shenanigans youll make in this game! ✨

The sequel we all need

us tradesmen (master plumber and pipe fitter) talk just as much shit about engineers as architects, you should have to build what you draw, also great video !

Well, I don’t know how you do it across the pond, but over here in Murica, you can totally curve sewage lines. We do it all the time. in fact, it’s easier to curve those than water line unless it’s HTPE, which is less common.

15:05 as a non-uk-ian when i visited the uk and drove on your highways it's insane to me how you have traffic lights and roundabouts in the middle of highways, that's literally the most insane thing ever.

Yes he finally got city skylines 2! can't wait for Paddy 2.

Obviously you build Finland! Brilliant country, not biased at all.

Love to see the strong shapes have come to the new game 😂

The fact that you got this game early means you are an architect, architects designs things long before engineers get their hands on the product. from this point on i shall refer to Matt as the RealCivilArchitect(RCA), i may need to update some scores on Poly Bridge 3 as a result...

Glad to see they included you for once

9:40 there are places that allow you to reserve your spot and put in a headstone ahead of time. I've seen many that says "[Name] 19xx - (blank)". A bit grim if you ask me.

Can't wait to see more Cities Skylines 2 :D

I wasn’t even watching this initially I was elbow deep in another video and my app closes and I reopen it to this gift from the engineer gods

3:34 in Australia theres always small roads that just come off the 4 lane road to like a one way because theres cars on the side so we give way so basically comes off from like 70kph (45 mph) to 50kph idk why the tiny squashed roads have a limit of 50kph(30mph) probably cuz an architect made it

One of the things that irriated me about Cities Skylines on the Oculus Quest was that you only get one or two blocks (can't remember which), but you can't buy more. While it is awsome to see your city in VR, the problem is, I've used pretty much every centimetre of the blocks I have, apart from a bit that is occupied by a sheer rock face that I can't get rid of, or use. I haven't played Skylines 2 much yet, but will be doing so.

Honestly, everyone else has built grids (even if they're rhombusic they're still a grid) so seeing some curves is quite refreshing BUT YOU ALL MAKE 5 WAY INTERSECTION ROUNDABOUTS WHYYYY

Matt with mini motorway roundabouts: 😠 Matt with City skylines roundabouts:😮👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😍

7:59 Yes, there will be steam. Another half-realism of the game, you don't burn coal and collect the electrical output from it with grid plates, you burn coal to turn water into steam to drive turbines connected to generators. Coal plants should require lots of water. CS2 looks nice though, I will check it out... after I've finished InfraSpace :)

8:51 "Let's hope the trains don't open their windows" Well, that's very ironic, because we have in my area a "garbage train." They literally transport garbage on the train. And they love to park it overnight in the residential neighborhood.

This game seems amazing so far but i’m hoping they optimize it a little more

petition for real civil engineer to change his name to real civil architect on aprils fools

Considering the high pollution, bad healthcare and education, and the fact that it's a small gray city with a river flanked by tall mountains, this place reminds me a LOT of Santiago de Chile.

I'm defiantly excited to see a Cities Skylines 2 engitopia!

I am SOOOO exited for city skylines 2 because I did everything I could in City Skylines 1 (I bought every dlc) and I made so many cities.

1:27 Matt has such pure joy in his voice XD

That moment you get to see the shape of city wile listening to some serious talking like nothing is going on! XD

Matt thank you for some knowledge today I had to build a brige out of gumdrops and toothpicks and I made a truss bridge and won

So happy to see CS2!!

City Beautiful has recently talked about the efficiency of Hexagonal City Layouts on his youtube channel. Since you have tested another couple of layouts already I think it would be really cool if you could test that as well👀💪🏽

Looking forward to more Cities: Skylines 2 content!

Really looking forward to the cities skylines 2 videos.

...Classic British Town layout! Top Job lol

We have cul-de-sacs and all those curved roads out in the suburbs here in Chicagoland. They're a fucking nightmare to navigate in. The way they massively prioritize form over function suggests to me that they were designed by... architects...

14:57 even the signature building is repping Finland lol

Finally, now we can see the greatest archi...... Engineer in CS2

"Our prison is in, so now it is truly an engineering paradise as we have a place to put all the architects" XD made me laugh

Maybe after this we can get another poo-cano Or maybe an even bigger map that Matt would have to constantly keep on top of problems. It could be a test for how good his management skills are

As a British I declare the cul-de-sacs not just sufficient but excellent ; British stamp of approval 👍

A lot of those are actually steam. Visible emissions from coal power plants are very low due to regulations, hell emissions have been cracked down upon quite a lot in America. Also the power plant is modeled really well as they do look very similar to that from both ground level and in the air, so props to the devs for paying attention to detail.

I think there mmmmiiight be something off about the economics in this game :D We have 6000 residents, but a highschool, college and uni and a giant prison, but still making a positive income 🤣

the zoom out so you can finally see the cities shape got me 🤣

I’m happy to hear the devs sponsored the video

9:21 🤌 highly efficient city plan
