I don't know if its possible, but challenge idea for cities skylines. Make a industrial wasteland city but have so many hospitals that people can survive in the cancer city and have a semi normal life span.
Wish you went back to your old stuff. Long multi-video game play, very little b-reel, your gift is story telling, so these 1-offs do you a disservice =)
I apologize for sounding negative. I just really love your old videos, no matter the game being played.
Make a city powered by tsunamis
Dis you get a new editor yet
Free city Skys lines? Ahh I been playing it since 2014 when I was 5…
_Is it possible to make a city with only the smallest possible lot size?_
Planners in Hong Kong would answer with an emphatic yes.
I can smell the air quality of Beijing already
Hong Kong is delightful 😊
Planers in hongkong: one building in one lot? Nah, we’ll do three… for now
DID SOMEBODY SAY KOWLOON WALLED CITY?
But here we get skyscrapers on a one tile lot, HK > CS
I love that it took him 4 seconds to realize modern suburban sprawl is unmaintainable
Damn, can you imagine a "Not Just Bikes", "Strong Towns", and "AA" cross-over?
Modern suburban sprawl is unsustainable because modernity and consumerism is unsustainable
My thoughts too…
dirt roads will solve americas suburban woes
I can maintain it pretty well in Cities: Skylines. I just reduce the road budget 😃
If AA thinks the 1-Tile city is challenging, wait until he tries the Negative 1-Tile challenge.
A new challenger approaches
And then the Square Root of Negative One Tile Challenge
What even is the negative 1-tile?
@@Hellsliver a statistician, a biologist, and a mathematician are watching a house. Two people enter. An hour later, three people leave.
The statistician says, “We miscounted.”
The biologist says, “They reproduced.”
The mathematician says, “Now if one more person enters, the house will be empty!”
@@isaackellogg3493 🤣 🤯🤯🤯
The best part of the Cities Skylines 2 announcement was imagining what AA is gonna do with that game when it comes out.
AA and RCE
aa*
I wonder if its possible to have a city that's all industrial wasteland, but you have enough hospitals that people can survive the cancer city and have a semi normal life span.
Amphib, I want to see this ecological disaster/dystopian future/industrial hellhole/ aka just modern Los Angeles challenge. This please.
Mandatory Hazmat suit ordinance, like living in the Exclusion Zone
"Industrial wasteland" made me think of Kenshi. And now I want AA to build a prosperous Kenshi city in City Skyline
Hong kong
Sounds like Pasadena and Houston
AA being so confused by the challenge city doing well & getting on without a hitch, that he nukes it with meteors to achieve the suffering he's used to, is comedy gold. 😂
hi
AA: I created a utopia
also AA: i strategically closed schools to make it harder for the inhabitants to get jobs that require higher education, forcing them to work in my factories.
Like it is in real life.
Ayyy today AA asks the real questions: How much DOES size matter?
Great video good sir. 🐸
Awesome idea
[]🦌
We can all appreciate that amphibian actually shouted out the person he got this idea from. He didn't just throw them in the description. Props for being a good person!
Most UA-camrs dont even put these things in the description
@@Rynewulf that’s the sad part
Toadie's a great C:S content creator who definitely works harder and makes better content than her sub count would make you think. She needs some love!
Wouldn't have made him a bad person if he didn't
@@BasileosHerodou My wording is bad their, I meant that it shows that he is being a better person then he needs to be. which I was happy for
Congratulations! You recreated Tokyo, Japan
My favorite thing avout AA is how even though he's a well spoken man who often goes on long philosophical ramblings, every now and then theres a fart noise here and there.
AA: moves away from unmaintainable suburban sprawl and actually develops infrastructure
The city: prospers
AA: surprised Pikachu
AA discovers the wonders mixed-use zoning by accident and wonders why his city just works.
The fact I cant tell the difference between the new editor and your editing style means you must've picked the perfect editor who suits you just right
Your right. I did not realise (mid watching) that there was any difference! It felt like any other video AA's put out
The way you said "who do not eat garbage!" sounded quite defensive, as though you're covering up for them.
In the end, Nipplopolis got turned into West Virginia.
I like to use the checkerboard technique on residential zones in my regular cities to create one-tile lots for a Chicago-esque dense single-family dwellings. If you wait for the one tile lot to develop, then you can put another one-tile residential zone next to it, and they won't join up.
This is the same pattern I employ to force 2x2, 3x3, or 4x4 developments. It takes a lot longer for the area to develop, but you get the desired diversity in the structures being built.
if you use mods, you could also create themes with only the 1x1 buildings & zone en masse. adds a safeguard against 2 adjacent buildings being destroyed and rebuilding as one!
Astounding angelfish, Ambiguous Amphibian(man)! An awfully accomplished achievement abiding alongside almost adequate and aesthetically appealing allotments.
(Finally, UA-cam notifications know when I should be getting AA notifications. Not several days after, not a month after, but when they're hot off the press.)
I love your videos but the City Skylines series has a special place in my heart
We love seein more city skylines content! Now we just need you to have a competition against Real Civil Engineer on who can make a more memier but successful city!
RCE would win because he always builds the strongest most efficient shape 😂
This video appeared in my recommended. I’ve never even heard of this game before, but with this video as my first impression, it seems like the most complicated thing ever. I looked up more info about it, and found a beginner’s guide that’s 27 parts, each around an hour long. How is that only for beginners!? Man, if this is how cities are managed in a video game, then I can’t fathom how hard it must be in real life.
Now that I’m thinking about it, I realize I don’t know much about how the real world works; I only know what I’ve seen in movies. I’d make a terrible mayor or president. It’s amazing that they’re able to take care of millions of people, when I can barely take care of myself.
Me: that first city looks like a nightmare..
Wait.. those remind me of cities in the USA ._.
“too many people were Too educated. And it came to the point that all the people had useless degrees. No one wanted to run the basic factories anymore. And more jobs demanded *Dumb* people to work at them. This created a minor crisis in our economy and we had to Strategically Prevent Half The Neighborhood from Going to school”
USA USA USA
@@skivvy3565 Yeah cause thats what "looks like" means. You definitely didnt visit their schools :o
My first thought was a city that is only 1 building, yet I had complete expectation that he could make it entertaining
Seeing the destroyed city made me think that playing a city builder in a post apocalyptic setting like fallout would be really cool to experience.
I recommend Endzone: A World Apart
yes, another city skylines video, my favorite content from you amphibian, thanks.
I did something similar in Sim CIty 2013. A Town with no specialised industry of any kind. And it was PERFECT. it made money and everyone had everything they needed. Baffling.
6:50-ish.. . Art imitates life.
i am always stunned by the narration of your videos. i enjoy this very much!
“Nuclear bomb of happiness” as a wave of green smileys flow across the city lolol I’m ded
I was nervous about the new editor but it seems they are totally killing it. Loved the style of this video- been watching a while and I can say confidently this is a change for the better. Cheers
Always look forward to your new videos! Keep it up Amphibian ☺️💪✨
We need more city skylines
just booted my pc as i got back from work and this was uploaded 24 seconds ago. I say thats perfect timing
I did not know what the name of the serpinski triangle was until this video, thank you AA
> Urban sprawl makes you go bankrupt
> Only successful build ever use mixed-use zoning (at least approximated it)
You are absolutely right, and you should look at Strongtowns and Not Just Bikes or City Beautiful or Citynerd or ...
With this challenge AA accidentally just made a hell-scape known as a "walkable city"
a true nightmare to us north americans
Is this a joke or are you just anti walkable cities
@@yesterday00 its sad that your confusion is warranted, but it looks like a joke based on the last line.
@@skorpiongod sorry to have caused you immense disappointment. figured it was a joke. was just making sure. didn't mean to fail humanity. i'm going to go now.
@Yesterday
Noooo don’t leave me. Then it’ll be tomorrow or the present
@@yesterday00 no no, im saying your confusion is justified. I've genuinely seen people mindlessly argue that walkable cities are some communist dystopian plot.
your videos are always a joy to watch. thanks for making them
Amphibian I really appreciate the new editor, think he’s a perfect fit on the channel!
"pure chance alone" that's an interesting way to say "finally attempting a different playstyle than what i always do" akjdhasjdkad im glad u finally made a good city
1:37 is just a description of US urban infrastructure as is
I love how he instantly created houston
the placement on those fart noises was so subtle I thought there was something making a farting noise outside my window.
Bravo.
4:31 I have the mental age of a 15 year old I swear
This was uploaded on my birthday, how could I’ve missed it?
7:00, or, amphibian discovers redlining
Worked surprisingly well!
1:45 so San Francisco?
Have you ever played Workers & Resources? It seems right up your alley
Yo I found your channel recently and this is my first early arrival
Banger
Perfect way to de-stress after work. Thanks bro
Its even more cute to do this when you use smaller roads also realistic pop mod makes it work better
Wow, that's awesome!
Super cool to see.
04:21 ... is that... is that The Fifth Element soundtrack playing in the background...?
Excellent work amphib, your work always gives me a sense of ennui and existential dread
pls upload a vod of this love city skylines .. more vods !!!
Every time i hear the trumpet victory sound in AA's videos, i get a tiny dopamine rush, conditioned by Entropia Universe.. Damn you :3
cant wait for this new rousing rendition of crimes against humanity as presented by evil kermit
This was so fun to watch
The... the issues starting at 10 minutes in felt a bit... uhm... close to home.
“too many people were Too educated. And it came to the point that all the people had useless degrees. No one wanted to run the basic factories anymore. And more jobs demanded *Dumb* people to work at them. This created a minor crisis in our economy and we had to Strategically Prevent Half The Neighborhood from Going to school”
Engage existential crisis and ennui mode
never disappointed by this channel
By coincidence, I recently started doing something like this. I'm going for 100%'ing the game, there's yet another scenario that has a 250,000+ pop requirement for victory for no reason related to the scenario's theme of tsunami (also compares to Amb's island start video because that's what you do here, just with a few more islands, but you have to start with 1 and wall it off like Age of Empires against the initial tsunami assault), so yeah, givin' it a shot. Probably not gonna watch this yet but I'll check it some time later to compare.
I've done some initial research in some previous 250k scenarios, I'm sure people who scrub the wiki know all of this, but different zones have different variable population based on the size of the lot. There's a lot of multiples and math and not a TON of difference overall (with Industry literally being the same 2-workers-per-1-tile no matter what size), but basically, 1-tile High Residential actually benefits in comparison to any other size, with a potential max of 2 families, where for instance a 4x4 has a maximum of 30. That's just 2 more families of value, and in theory you need more road to account for 1-tile lots so they should be just bad, but I'm trying some funky thin dirt road layouts to try and pack as many in as possible. A cul-de-sac system like many use in SimCity 4 might be the best here, I'm not going for that but I'd recommend that for anyone curious to try it out, helps you shrink block size without actually shrinking block size. Another factor I've been considering is what I like to call 'door count', this is especially important for the aforementioned Industry as well as Commercial to a lesser extent, smaller buildings with a higher door count means trucks will make smaller deliveries and thus need to make more stops to empty their load. This is very bad. I'm not 'purely' in the challenge so I'm just building 4x4 Industry. I've also got rather early issues of workplaces finding workers, but that's possibly because I'm still just bad at this game.
Extra note as it's something that a less-than-great PC user like me is concerned about, this has some chance of tanking performance due to so many more routes to calculate. Skylines already has trouble for me at 6 or more City tiles unlocked (which you basically need for 250k pop), so I expect this to be hell, hope Amb and his PC fared better, and due warning to anyone else trying a build like this. I should probably just build a straightforward city and beat this dang scenario, but I get too bored, I gotta gimmick at least a little.
I love the subtle dystopian undertones.
Congratulations! You’ve built early-mid 20 century Tokyo!
Edit: 9:14 Oh god… 😰 Didn’t see this coming
Historically accurate
1:30 you are just describing an averege american city
actually, Bangkok's city layout is more or less like this. a bunch of long parallel roads for max land utilisation. unfortunately the thai government allows private developers to decide on road layouts with absolutely no requirements, so the city ended up with massive condominiums lining up tiny 2-lane 2-way roads with dead ends. needless to say, it causes massive traffic jams even in the residential areas
You should do a one road city
Not just a line
Maybe a grand spiral
But the real spirit of AA would be
Dystopian overpasses haphazardly placed as willy nilly spaghetti as urban needs he neglected early being a cheapskate come up later on
I'm pretty sure he' done that before

I Love You
I love your content. It's awesome
Congrats on the working city! Too bad about the freak meteor shower.
My mother just discovered your channel. God help us all. Good content!
Another sponsorship for AA! And another perfect fit. Congrats!
Funny enough... my first few cities were one tile cities. Didn't know I could expand.
Missed opportunity sending a tidal wave through the finely crafted rows of Nipplopolis. Imagine several thousand metric tons of water combing through the city, washing it out in perfection.
Dude i love your videos so much 🤣♥
Between this and zoo tycoon, maybe singular tiles are the most effective money making strategy in every game?
You can checkerboard the zones without mixing them, you just checkerboard half of it, let them get built, then fill in the rest.
I don't know what is so hard to say Sierpiński XD.
Seriously, it's a good episode.
As a non channel memeber/patron i can confim i exclusively eat garabage.
Flamin hot Cheetos washed down with Mountain Dew,

6:50 just like irl
1:45 Oh, so you made Houston.
I've done this. I didn't find any merger problems except at the end of roads (junctions/turns) at the time.
Yes. This is what I need.
Frog man makes Tokyo in city skylines.
The Fifth Element vibe around 4:20
So, you can do the checkerboard thing with empty space, and then once everything is built, you can fill in the empty space of the checkerboards and at least residences don't merge, so you can have 2-wide spaces between roads. this gets you a higher population density per tile, because a 1 tile house holds about half as many people as a 4x4 tile house, which means 8x the population density, which means more people being taxed, which means you can have lower taxes for them and still make money, which keeps them happy. also, on a grid system of sorts, you can vastly improve traffic by using 1-way streets in selective places.
Next Challenge. Game of life map where you can only go 1 way and the ending kicks your ass out onto the highway
Dayum I like this video, I also like that city skylines free!
A blessed day. Amphibian uploaded tormenting a city
Something in my brain is deeply pleased by the aesthetic of city attempt 2
Dude just made mixed use zoning and is surprised it worked
as always: good on you for getting paradox's money. however, no amount of ads will convince me to give paradox another red cent so long as they force you to agree to allow your personal data to be sold.
this would not be an issue but for the fact that paradox reps have sworn up and down that no data is sold. thing is, why do we have to agree to allow it if they are not doing it?
Another great video always good content.
Please do some sort of collaboration with Biffa :)
The labyrinth of dirt roads next to sewage processing plants reminds me of Hernando County Florida.
I feel like the end result is a pastel authoritarian hellscape. But the mixed housing/commercial is a great tactic, and just smart city building.
You should do the really long city with one road
I... kind of liked the uniform skyline look. At least there were no obnoxious skycrappers.
@ambiguousamphibian , I live with an elderly woman, as her carer full time. I was laying in bed, watching this delightful video, enjoying the masterpiece before me, when at 2:33 that fart sound effect played through my apple airpod pro max’s and it legitimately sounded like it came from across the hall, and that I had just heard the stomach curdling back end rumble of the elderly person I care for shat-ing themselves in bed. It took me to rewind, and hear it again to realise it was in the video. Thanks AA, you have traumatised me in the very bed I sleep. xD
Honestly curious if you could like, make a functional city from space-filling curve streets.
