Cities Skylines, but the sea level is constantly rising! 

Can you please try this challenge again sometime? I was actually really invested in this lol

"You cannot engineer the sea" Dutchies: "Hold our Heineken"

When the undertown flooded, you stopped making money from it, but you were still paying upkeep, which is why you lost in the end

The fact that matt was racing the tide but played the whole thing on fast forward made me laugh and infurated me at the same time. Man likes a challenge I guess

As a junior city planner engineer myself, also specializing in drainage , my heart rate was also rising like the sea water level in this video 😅😂📈

I don't think the map was made with the pausing limitation in mind. I would like to see more of this please. -Strategic water pump placement? Flood disaster response trucks? Dams? Quays?

"if people live longer they pay tax longer" -sentence of the year

Some one should make this concept into a whole game! But maybe in reverse, so that the water goes away periodically and increasingly serviere. And maybe put in some sort of water dwelling rodent in it, just for the loughs. Jeez I would watch the hell out of that, if Matt would play such a game.

"What's up with electricity, oh- We have no electricity." -Motorway Matt, 2023

You could totally do this challenge. Once the lower city was flooded, you needed to destroy all the roads and services that were causing you to hemorrhage money. Sure your city has shrunk, but you'd have a lot of time to grow it back on the high land. Just live within your means!

That moment when he asked, "who built this map?" It looks like a very strong cliff.

9:30 Architect move detected. The water won't hit the canal until it over tops the sea wall... Probably better to canal *then* sea wall, give the water some place to go first then the sea wall becomes taller by extension.

Imagine your block being 80 houses long. Sucks if you need to get to the other side. 😂

Water in Cities Skylines acts really weird when you change game speeds. The first burst was probably from shifting between slow and fast game speeds.

Ahhh the good ‘ol Netherlands simulator! Funny enough in ye oldie times the dutchies would actually build on hills and flood the lower areas to keep away any attacking forces. Anyway absolutely enjoyed the video, these type of challenges are always a blast to watch!

There was another map with the same concept a few years ago. It had some actual terrain for you to work with, which I think would be far more interesting. It also didn't have a flooding problem like here.

That "Ahhhh" at 2:49 got me good. Maybe add an extra portion to the editors' two meals a week?

Play more of the island game like this! Can’t wait to watch

We need a part 2 NOW This is amazing

Matt had a whole ass dystopian time line going. Moral lesson and all (you need a working class to survive).

Interesting. What you really need is a long, skinny map with a series of steps. Start at the bottom and over time the map just fills up so each step is then flooded. See if you can build faster than the rising water.

POV: You're a Dutch city planner.

NOW THIS IS CONTENT

"We gave windmills a chance" is Matt foreshadowing what German politicians will say I the future?

If people can smell their disappearing garbage it is still bothering everyone. I wonder what would come out if you actually built a perfect city, according to all building codes and such. Would be awesome to see your design.

I have always loved the challenge of defending against water in this game. Defending against Tsunami's is also fun.

If you build an airport on the high land, people can get in and out and you may keep running the city forever!

I really like your content. Keeps me smiling. Especially Timberborners.

If you put water pumps in the canal and then turn them off they will continue to suck water so you can try and put many to stop the water from rising.

i think the reason you lost is A: the upkeep, and B: you had it on 3x speed for the final parts

Anyone else feels anxiety about when he has all those issues he still keeps the speed on times 3?

5:24 "Good thing i didn't buy any tiles that way and kept going that direction." Me focusing on the flow of water at the top left of the screen.

Never fails to make an amazing video, keep rocking!

I wake up and I’m excited to watch your videos you start my day off so good your different to the other city skyline RU-vidrs you the best man keep it up! 😊

"I should probably just stop talking and start building." The most realistic engineering statement I have heard today.

Id really love to watch Matt to build it to 90k population, normal map, no mods. Imagine the sick spaghetti he would build to solve the traffic issues?

Would actually enjoy this challenge again, perhaps a different map, and additional challenges within

No-pause Cities:Skylines stresses me out lol

This is a great video.Also Matt,anarchy allows to build networks on water

Love the fact you quoted Gillian Mckeith in this episode "oh no the poo. The poo is not good."

"Let's raise these a couple of percent, noone will notice, right?" How ridiculous, our real world rulers would never do such a devious thing!

Matt is here yet again, with another certified banger of a video

Once you started building up it would have been a good idea to protect your services by moving them to the new area or just turning them all off so you dont have to pay the upkeep.

Day 64 of asking Matt to play No Mans Sky. 5 days left...

Haha, very funny. To look at this while people in my country are dying from flooding after the Kakhovka dam tragedy. Perfect timing.

Thanks for another cities skylines vid These my favorite

Your city skylines content is my favourite!

Challenges like this are so fun. More please!

I love how he said i won't pause, then paused 4 minutes later, got me dying 😂

LETS GO ANOTHER CITIES SKYLINES BANGER RCE FTW

Cities Skylines: *cannot build on water* Me: builds on dry land then moves it using the Move It mod 😂

This is very interesting to watch being someone from south Louisiana. Might be useful…

Loved this video!

U need to build up! -Every Capitalist ever 😂

I would love to see you try again this map with the knowledge you now have!

Nice one Matt!

This was highly stressful, but in an entertaining way! Give it another go!

Man i wanna try this. Gotta move the services up high ground when you still have money, and I guess dezone the bottom. Because abandonment kills the demand. I have to try this

This is the best chalenge you have done!

onto the outer border wall and use aiports from as soon as possible was the strategy I was thinking of

Who else remembers when this dude had 5k subs only 2 years ago. Big love. Watching your channel grow as fast as it did was amazing

Please do this challenge again! I really liked it lol

You were so close! Please do a follow up episode where you rightfully make it!

He was on fast forward the whole time wondering why things were going wrong so fast

The map itself appears to be made in 2015, and it's name is just "Flood", so if you enter that in Workshop then it's the first hit you get. 🙂

Id happily watch you try and take this on again

As an American I can confirm that RCE has successfully detailed our country in his city

Your map for the challenge is the outline of the state of oregon!

So happy he uploaded :)

“this house is currently getting burglarized… so let’s just replace their house with a police department” This man might be British but he has the mind of a Detroit City Planner (yes I actually live there not just for the meme)

Maybe adding water pumps to the canals would have helped

Yoo this is amazing

Do another one with allowing you to use terrain tools, but locked at 3 speed, eh?

POV: You're watching all of this guy's city skyline videos

Can you stack a sea wall on a sea wall? Also never use graveyards and garbage dumps... always upgrade them to recycle centers and crematoriums as soon as you can. Also once stuff stated flooding you should have demolished it all as it still costs you money when flooded. That is what drove you into bankruptcy. You should have done all high density up top and had all the utilities up there. Then demolish everything below if you could not build up the sea walls higher.

I literally got the notification for this video while reading an article about the flooding in Ukraine just now.

Woo!! Never been here this early!

This was a nice one, but you forgot you also have water pumping services, and you could had put water pumps on the canal and drain it away. And as soon the main city started to flood, destroy everything that costs money, every service, and dezone the whole place, even remove roads that are not needed anymore, except the higher elevation. But I think your city went bankrupt also because you never paid anymore attention to the highway going out. You could have just used the national 4 way highway for going in and out. Great video, love the video edits. As a fellow CS content creator, may I ask where you get those sound effects? They are really nice and give 'situation awareness'. 🙂

RCE Good video bro this one was fun. Still waiting on the beaver plush update. My girlfriend cannot wait to get that little guy

damm! you just never run out of ideas!

Hey Matt, the highest u can have the tax is on 12% without them complaining about it👍🏻

I enjoyed this one 😂.

These chalenges are so entertaining!

Can't wait for you to try this idea in Cities: Skylines 2 in October :D

You could put a tons of water pumps on the canal !!!😂

The Netherlands if they never had landscaping tools:

He keeps finding new ways to put Creeper World in Cities Skylines

2:45 - I live for these kind of moments

2:48 LOL - what is that sound from?! My guess is Wario or Waluigi.

Great video Matt

with "move it" this challenge is very easy - just make a crater out of roads, who needs landscaping lol

I've never seen a video game simulate reality so well.

YOU FAILED US, WE WOULDN'T ACCEPT THIS FAIL, we are waiting for you to retry this and actually achieve getting up there

welcome back to skylines borners♫ we built a new town ♫ it gets wet really really fast ♫

These beavers have evolved

I, too, tend to put my cemetaries next to my landfills. I figure it's basically the same concept, so why not....

I'd really love to see Matt do this challenge again.

finally a cities skylines video

did u know that those buildings like police station, have unlimited range the roads getting green only means that people are gonna be happy about this!

Bit disappointed that he didn't do the timberborners intro despite that this video is very similar to his current timberborn season
