The Beginning of a New City - Bend, Magnolia County | Cities Skylines 2 | Ep 1

Hello and welcome to Magnolia County, Superior! James and Jamila Jones are preparing to from Verde Beach to Magnolia County, following Jamila's HUGE promotion at Clearwater Southern. She'll be managing the new Cargo Terminal and Rail Yard... once it's built. Until then, she'll be acting as a project manager, in charge of making sure that everything runs smoothly.

James, while supportive, doesn't have plans in Magnolia County and is unsure of what his next move is. But before we can learn what he'll be up to, we're going to focus on building their new home - Bend, Superior - a small town tucked away in the woods.

One thing I'm "Getting More Okay With" is the Growing Trees. I find it super cool to go back to an older neighborhood in the city and see how different it looks each day of irl playtime

[quillient]

Please someone get this poor man a zoning toggle, we can’t afford to stress him out this badly!
😊

As a pedestrian, I always appreciate having trees on the roads. I didn't notice it til a friend pointed it out, but there are very few areas in my own city with trees along roadways. And now I can't stop seeing it! For me, the trees help the area feel to human scale - like I am meant to be there.

your storytelling and attention to detail is what makes you so unique in the cities skylines space
excited for the series

[Grayald]

Our top story tonight, crazed OCD mayor rips up roads, uses hired thugs and unlicensed contractors to bully people out of, and destroy their homes because he didn't like the way they were facing. City officials refused to comment, and have employed unlawful tactics to impede our investigation at every turn.

I feel like I’m witnessing genesis. As a latecomer to verde beach I never really grasped its story as it’s so large scale and complex. Magnolia County from squares 1 I will!

The story, the effort of building the custom map, the jokes, the upcoming eminent domains and landscaping. Thanks for making the whole city skylines game much more enjoyable than it already is. I am really looking forward to this series!

[flipcupking]

I'm excited for the first story driven CS2 series and have been watching since Verde Beach Day 1. Pretty cool to see the start of a new project and see it come to life over time and feel really connected to the city.

I saw a depression in the terrain between the cul-de-sac houses and thought it would be a perfect place for a little pond for the kids to go fishing in after school.

One hour left at work whilst working on the budget for next year and this 50 mins beauty drops!! Thank God I have a free screen in use! Best upload EVER. Sooo psyched for a new series and on CS2 as well!

“Yes Mrs Jones, I understand that you have a dead body in your living room and it’s been there for weeks but on the up side your street has trees and no stop lights.” 😂😂😂😂😂

[jnewman]

I’m already enamored with the town of Bend! And the lounge music while Phil goes crazy fixing zoning might be my new favorite recurring bit. 😂

Excited to see where the community and the region go from here!!!

A suggestion for the town, is to leave space between some buildings. i think its a bit more realistic, a lot of houses are not exactly fence-to-fence (some are) on google earth you see a lot of trees in the suburbs (in some parts). I'm excited for this series!

[OVERCHARGEDEGG]

I Lol'd at that guy who crashed and was like "nope, back to Clearwater, this is too much for me" 😂

Great start to the series bud and fantastic work on the map! Hope I'll be able to keep up with this one 😁

[mrpotential]

35:20 a possible coul-de-sac idea that I use that could be beneficial and looks really nice is I use alleys for suburban neighborhoods. When I end the alley, I turn off all snap tools, grab a regular road, and make a very very small segment. You can't zone on the ends, but it gives a tight realistic look

[iamrobustus]

Love that the state of Superior is continuing in CS2! Excited to see all the stories that will happen in Bend.

Another tip I discovered. If you want a rural look to your town you can install power poles along the roads. This works on any road with sidewalks. Select the low voltage power for above ground and plop the poles along the sidewalks of your roads. It looks great. Duplicates the power as roads have them underground anyway. But it's a nice visual. Works on highways too. I also place them alongside railways too.

Here we go! Just got around to finishing Verde Beach a few days ago and LOVED it. So excited to follow along with this one rather than binge watch. Thanks in advance for the countless hours of entertainment

[pamelawild]

Really love all your story-driven series, but I think this one might be my favorite!! I don't even play Cities Skylines, but I LOVE watching you do it!!
