    2:18 Matt, you absolute architect, people _should_ be able to go up, how do you expect the mansions of the rich to be cleaned? They need service people! So instead on a single one way road, there should be two, but the one going up should have very expensive tolls, that way only the rich or the people working for them could go up 😂

      Yeah. People should have to face a series of increasingly more expensive toll roads to get to the top. That way you know everyone up there deserves their place. It would also allow them to physically get up there. It would also solve the money hemorrhaging problem; Matt was almost on his way to the city's bottom layer at the rate he was bleeding funds out.

    You should build a city on mount Everest (not actually) but basically pick/make a map with a huge mountain range going down the middle and you have to build your city with only two rules: The first is you must maintain as much of mountain's natural structure as possible, so no flattening large sections of it until it makes sense. The second is no floating roads, basically meaning if you want to connect two levels you have to use tunnels from one side of mountain to the other.
    No strict dimension limitations like you have here, but you have to figure out good spots to put things like hospitals and trash when flat terrain is at a premium.

    • @Astraeus..
      @Astraeus.. 3 місяці тому +3

      If the roads in this game work anything like the 1st then going up the side of mountains is easy enough just by using dirt roads. They can be used at much steeper incline than anything paved can. I like using dirt roads to connect to the nature reserve/lodges/camping area I'd put up in the mountains.

    Speaking of megastructures. How about a beaver city that looks like a pyramid that takes up like a third of the map? Basically it starts with one layer in a perfect square. Then you build another slightly smaller layer on top with down-ramps in the middle and at the edges; covering roads and such with platforms. Then another layer, and another, and another. Each layer being progressively more advanced than the last as you unlock more tech. You don't remove things like the wheels of pain from the lower layers. You just leave them there for the beavers to keep toiling away. For they are the lower class. It's good for the upper class to have a backup plan in-case their main sources of power goes out.
