+Tanuki Games yea I know what you mean, the in game tips aren't the worst.. but seems weird that they didn't include more of a tutorial map or something like that.
Personally, I don't care about it since I am a superfast-learner. I know some guys from Paradox and i have written to them about it, one of them replied that I need to write to the devs - Colossal Order. Wrote to them a month ago, still no response. Since I am a starting game critic they could just ignore me or just not reply. You can push your luck and try to write them too. Think they are nice guys. And take my sub.
WOW....So I already built my first "Big Town" after my son purchased Cities for me. Like so many others, I've now got a lot of populated zones but inefficient (and not so aesthetically pleasing!) road layouts with gridlocked areas and such. I'm only halfway thru this video and just realized I've NEVER NOTICED the round road adjustment buttons you're using!!! OMG! Thankfully, I've accumulated over 1 million in funds so I'm very comfortable redesigning the HECK out of my city! *laughs* Young man, your videos are excellent (I've liked and subscribed!) and I am SO glad to have stumbled upon them! You've got a very natural, smooth and orderly explanation technique and your joy of the game comes thru in each video. As an adult educator, I truly appreciate the talent behind these videos, as well as your time and willingness to share what you've learned. Keep up the fantastic work! :)
I bought CS over a year ago and was just digging it out to try playing again, when I found your videos. I've enjoyed watching them, and they are helpful. However, what I've noticed that is common to most who make "new player" videos for games is that all of you make videos as if the viewer is completely familiar with the game. You have forgotten what it's like to actually see the game through the eyes of a completely "new player." You jump through the interface without so much as a peep about the specifics of the tools you're using, and why...much less how. A good example is when you're laying out your highways, your one-way roads, and your two-way roads, with no mention to specifics when you're changing traffic direction, and/or making sure that traffic flow is making sense to your viewers. Again, and I'm still continuing to watch this particular series, I did enjoy the videos, and I don't want this to be perceived as negativity, but more as a pointer for things to pay attention to when you're doing videos for "new players."
I would just like to say I have been looking for a couple days now at different people starting their cities and a walk through and by far your number 1. I like how you explain everything and give all the little hints about the game. You just make the game so much easier to understand. Thanks a lot defiantly watching you regularly!
As someone who just got C:S (and hasn't touched a city building game since they were a little kid with Sim City 2000), THIS is the video series I've been looking for. THANK YOU. 🙌
Watched your original Let's Play a year or two ago and loved it. Wanted to start playing Cities: Skylines again and saw you'd done an update, so now I'll watch all of these. Thanks so much for the great vids :)
I started my first city but without a proper tutorial in the game i found many difficulties trying to figure out what i'm supposed to do first. Now everything is clear, thank you very much. I'm gonna start a new city. Excellent work.
I like listening to your voice. I really like your content. I have been for a long time now. To see you start over is honestly really refreshing! Keep it up
Your first tutorial helped me so much to actually get my city to flow. I've taken a break from the game, but now since you did an updated tutorial with the new content, I may pick it back up :)
This is so perfect for beginners. I started this game yesterday and than decided it is more fun to watch those videos than to play with absolutely no idea. Can't wait to try out all the stuff I learned here :-)
This is perfect timing for this series! I just purchased the game through the autumn steam sale a few days ago. I would LOVE to see you take this city and go really far with it. (explain road layouts, mass transit lines, etc.) Thanks!!
Just picked up this game recently and want to commend you on producing a very informative and enlightening tutorial video. You solved a number of issues I didn't even realize I was having. 😊 Thanks!
I love these videos! They are fun and easy to follow and I have learned so much from watching past tutorials. Keep them coming, they are a great help! I also love how you are uploading them this time around as well. I will be watching the rest of the episodes soon.
Yes, everything went fine for me! I was just busy with my university stuff! Now it's time to relax and your content is perfect to do this :) I'm happy to see that your channel grew up, very deserved! :)
That's great to hear, school is definitely important! Happy to know that you've got your priorities in order!! lol I'm really happy with the recent growth on the channel - I've been trying to take things a bit more seriously as of late and have been trying to produce more content :) Thanks for the kind words! Hope you aced your midterms!
Exactly what I was looking for, I finally bought the game 3 days ago and are obsessed, but I can not seem to figure out how to build a city whiteout going bankrupt! Found this channel yesterday and have watched so many videos of yours and this is just the LP tutorial I wished for! :) Plus you have a nice calm voice that makes it easier to pay attention. (: :)
wow I recently started watching your old series and after a good amount of episodes I check out your channel to see this series lol. Looking forward to see how this city turns out.
i like this tutorial! thanks mate, just subscribed even though the tutorial playlist seems finished, after i'm done watching it i'll look around your videos!!
Your tutorials helped me get my bearings in this game and give me some great ideas on layout and transit. Great video tutorials and I love Cities: Skylines as well. Thanks for the great tutorials.
I really enjoy your idea of making a series for beginner players, that doesn't include mods. It'll be easier for my laptop to be able to access the game, and easier for me to play through, and follow your advice :)
Great first episode. Finding myself getting back into cities skylines. Want to do no mods before deciding what mods to use. This is great information. Going to watch them all while I eat brats and drink beer (milk gives me gas)
Thanks for this episode! I play the game every now and then and feel like you MUST use mods since everyone else does. Great to see your vid showing how to play without mods and getting things started.
Thanks a lot for making this tutorial and also for making the map available in the steam workshop. I am going to use that as my starting point. Thanks!
I honestly can't get over how well/smooth the game runs in vanilla! At first I felt like there was so much content missing, but I don't know - the base game is really growing on me :)
One of my favourite games out there!! Now just need a better faster Laptop my city is so laggy now that it's huge and all the mods I use. Great videos!! Lots of great info on the game
Awesome vid. mate! :D I have a friend who´s started playing the game, and I pointed him to this city/series :D I love your vids. And I´ve learned SOOO much about the game, from just watching your vids. :D Keep´em coming :D
Holy crap Thankyou so much for telling me how to change direction of roads. I knew you had to right click the mouse but didn’t know I had to click the info button
I just watched part of another guy's beginner tutorial where the guy kept placing things and saying, "this isn't available for beginners so use something else in its place". WTF? Thanks for this.
Good time to start this. I'm finally getting fed up with Simcity 2013, and just I got the older expansions of CS in the Steam sale, but every time I start up I'm swamped by all the options. Good to see a sort of template to work with.
Very good! I love playing this game, but always feel like I'm brain dead when it comes to making a decent layout. Shows some tips I never thought of. I like that you did it without mods. I'm nowhere near the level needed to use those.
One thing I've learned to do is to save about 10,000 of my starting funds (at least $5,000) and save the game before hitting the unpause button. So many times the zones will start developing in an area that's not *quite* touching power or I'll have forgotten to build a water source and have to start all over.
I'm up to ep 4 and have already learned 2 new things (with around 300 hours on the clock before watching). I found zoning industries really frustrating... I didn't realise that you selected zone use AFTER setting the zone. I didn't know how to build elevated highways.... I'm looking forward to learning more in later episodes...

Been watching your old ones recently and this is just what I was after.
+Stuart Olver perfect timing then!

I'm watching this right now and am loving it! I love how you're taking us through this slowly!
I started my first city but without a proper tutorial in the game i found many difficulties trying to figure out what i'm supposed to do first. Now everything is clear, thank you very much. I'm gonna start a new city. Excellent work.
If this get's enough likes I'll release Episode 2 early :)

Welcome aboard :)
I like listening to your voice. I really like your content. I have been for a long time now. To see you start over is honestly really refreshing! Keep it up
Enjoying your City Skyline video series. Excellent work and nice descriptions on your thinking.
Your first tutorial helped me so much to actually get my city to flow. I've taken a break from the game, but now since you did an updated tutorial with the new content, I may pick it back up :)

Lol my first city was all a big grid with many intersections... Learned much from this dude
I very much appreciate your tutorial videos (in addition to your Let's Play ones)!
This has been the most helpful tube video for this so far. thanks
You are so pleasant to watch. Best tutorial I've found for the game. Great work.
Perfect timing, just started to play again, thanks for all your videos helping everyone!
I just found your series, just wanted to say thanks for the work you've put into these.

+Stine Noenoe happy to deliver!
And thanks for the kind words! Glad to have you on board :)
I had the same problem. Kept going broke within 10 minutes haha. I'm terrible at city building games but I still enjoy them.
wow I recently started watching your old series and after a good amount of episodes I check out your channel to see this series lol. Looking forward to see how this city turns out.
just bought this game today thank you for this it's a pretty steep learning curve, will be watching the other episodes :)
+fret fanatix once you start to get a good feel for traffic management everything else seems easier :)
Thank you so much for putting all of the time and effort into these vids. They are very 💪, and much appreciated! 🙏
i love the big middle finger at 18:28 he sort of sneaked that in there haha
just discover this game this week. really awesome guide. keep up the good work.
i like this tutorial! thanks mate, just subscribed even though the tutorial playlist seems finished, after i'm done watching it i'll look around your videos!!
Nice video, easy to follow. I am terrible at these games so Ill be watching the whole series soon. Thanks.
Just started this game, and this has helped so much! Greatly appreciated! Keep up the good work :)
you have the most helpful videos (for this game of course) out there. i've already watched this one twice...
This helped me a lot, thanks.
That game must have been a nightmare to program...
Your tutorials helped me get my bearings in this game and give me some great ideas on layout and transit. Great video tutorials and I love Cities: Skylines as well. Thanks for the great tutorials.
I really enjoy your idea of making a series for beginner players, that doesn't include mods. It'll be easier for my laptop to be able to access the game, and easier for me to play through, and follow your advice :)
You're like the Bob Ross of Citybuilders, Love it!
Great first episode. Finding myself getting back into cities skylines. Want to do no mods before deciding what mods to use. This is great information. Going to watch them all while I eat brats and drink beer (milk gives me gas)
love these series from you
Thanks for this episode! I play the game every now and then and feel like you MUST use mods since everyone else does. Great to see your vid showing how to play without mods and getting things started.
Cheers for the tutorial. Just getting into the game and these great vids help with the learning curve.
This video helped me a TON! I was having huge issues with traffic and starter plans 😁😁 you are great
cool video man! Thanks for the introduction to this game!
I think you have the absolute best tutorials/LP'S for Cities Skylines.
Awesome series. Huge help for starting out.
Great video! It's extremely helpful to a new player and I had no idea what I was doing.
Keep it up! Will look at your last series to find some info regarding the mods you like.
Your piping improved in comparison to a year ago :D Great video and perfect timing as I just re-discovered City Skylines
Thanks a lot for making this tutorial and also for making the map available in the steam workshop. I am going to use that as my starting point. Thanks!
Nice I picked it up for 6.99 on the steam sale :)
+LetsPlayTV killer deal! I honestly would pay $100 for it though, it's really that good of a game!
the only problem is...I have so many games to play now lol
me too ii picked it up for 6.99 too on steam sale last monday and lovin it
Well,in russia it's cost was ~2$ in equivalent :D
Роман Ыжь Well not surprising. Russians can't pay first world prices. Dev's need to take a hit to ensure people buy games instead of pirating them
I really enjoyed this video and your ideas! Thanks!
I missed vanilla series. Really liked them!
I honestly can't get over how well/smooth the game runs in vanilla!
At first I felt like there was so much content missing, but I don't know - the base game is really growing on me :)
Super stoked for this to come out on XBOX in a few months! :)
finally an updated guide , love it:)
+TheCrimson147 happy to provide! Glad you're enjoying it!
thanks for all the work you do
One of my favourite games out there!! Now just need a better faster Laptop my city is so laggy now that it's huge and all the mods I use. Great videos!! Lots of great info on the game
I cannot wait to get this game I love building cities thanks for the videos !!
Great commendation, nice and relaxing and well thought out. Thanks for the upload!
Awesome vid. mate! :D I have a friend who´s started playing the game,

Keep´em coming :D
Thank you for making this!
Great job. Keep'em coming
This one is better for me. Thanks for letting me know about it!
+Jillian Donnert excellent! I had a feeling that would be the case :)
Happy building!
Great video, definitely super useful !
Holy crap Thankyou so much for telling me how to change direction of roads. I knew you had to right click the mouse but didn’t know I had to click the info button
I learned a lot watching your video, thanks!
I really appreciate this cause I just picked it up for black Friday on ps4 this year and need a good tutorial

Very nice, just got the game and i look forward to more vids!

Great video!
I will be playing this game again and will follow you closely once more for inspiration. :)
Ur very enjoyable to watch, and ur voice is so soothing lol :D
+Unknown Fan I appreciate you saying that :)
I just watched part of another guy's beginner tutorial where the guy kept placing things and saying, "this isn't available for beginners so use something else in its place".
WTF?
Thanks for this.
Had this game for an age, enjoying the vid thinking I may actually get somewhere with it now.
This was a great help and it is without Mods so it is usefull for people like me who Play the PS4 Edition of this Game Thanks.
God I love watching you play this game.
It's amazing how many really good content creators never receive enough attention
Hello +ImperialJedi, greetings from brasil, I'm a new subscriber now, I'm watching your videos, is the best that I found on youtube, thank you!
Liked and subbed, just bought this game, this is very helpful thank you
You are awesome dude. Great video!
Thanks man, this is GREAT content!
This is really helpful. Thank you. :D

Great tutorials! Second time watching them! +1
Tried so hard not to copy this but when I saw the placement of the water and power facilities I just gave up. Bloody genius.
thanks these guides are so cool
I love playing this game, but is so frustrating for me sometimes that I have to walk away, haha! Your videos help me immensely, though!
subbed, excellent tutorial. I look forward to seeing more.
+DrCrayG welcome aboard!
Great tutorial man. Keep it up.
I like your videos and creativity in this game
I just got this game today
Brilliant! Liked and subbed.
You have a two-way street leading on to a one-way street!!! #OCD #Triggered #OhTheHumanity
hehe
I'm glad I wasn't the only person to notice this.
Aro9313 is there other efficient way?
I'm up to ep 4 and have already learned 2 new things (with around 300 hours on the clock before watching). I found zoning industries really frustrating... I didn't realise that you selected zone use AFTER setting the zone. I didn't know how to build elevated highways.... I'm looking forward to learning more in later episodes...
i dont know why its more fun to watch than play the actual game
