Building highways to better connect the city with the outside world. Talking about the 1990s highway projects in Central Europe.

Altengrad is a time-progression Cities: Skylines series where I build a Central European city, located until 1989 in the Eastern Bloc, taking inspiration from Germany, Poland, Czechia, Slovakia and Hungary. The series starts around the year 1920 and slowly advances forward in time, which means the city will naturally evolve all the way to modern times. The city is not a recreation of any one real-life city or country, but it takes inspiration from them.

PC specs are in the channel's About page. No, the game doesn't run like this in real time. Cinematics are recorded slow and made faster in editing.

The random ass pyramid casino has got to be the most 90s thing ever

I appreciate how the series has evolved into history lessons disguised as cities skylines videos.

"Certain natural events"

I literally exclaimed "oh shit!", because while I was not there for it, I worked for government agency that dealt with infrastructure resulting from this event and I saw the sheer scale of it.

New Altengrad episode = the world becomes a better place

14:12 i wonder what type of goodfella owns those fancy black cars, hopfully people who arent shaddy at all hehehe

for stopping traffic at the petrol station, you could maybe force traffic through your stop sign as they leave the casino / mcdonald’s in stead of allowing a direct route back onto the highway.

another idea, if it was actually implemented in the 90s eastern bloc: a weigh station for trucks — could force them off the highway and through a stop sign in front of a road services building + weighing platform via a heavy traffic ban district.

Oh no… 1997? Are we going to see some tsunami waves? 😂

[petitkruger]

I just realised the episode numbers somewhat correlate with the year - so epsiode number 96 is close to the year 1996

1997 my wife and her family were evacuated to nearby city cause... the thing was happening. As if Central Europe did not go thru a lot already. We even made a songs in Poland about this event in Poland. Most damaged was Wrocław which You seem to take more than a few inspirations already

Maybe for the next episode you could take a look at railway infrastructure after the 1997 central european flood? Perhaps remake the central railway station, electrification, new yards/depots, etc etc

[steinberg]

this is by far the beste series in cities skylines i've ever seen - the sheer amount of development and education over such a long period of time is amazing. thank you very much.

[danonck]

Omg, the flood of '97 coming to Altengrad, can this series BE any better?
This episode was lovely too, obviously. I'm always here for infrastructure builds!

[RC_animation]

Road episodes are my favorite. Keep up the good work

[IbisCiteasSoundaufnahmen]

If you include 1997, do you also include the same thing in 2002? It was a huge thing in East Germany. Or do you just do this one time. Or just some parts, ? But I need to say, I really like your series. I wait every two weeks for a new episode :D

[Tasty_super-craft_man_...]

No, R1 in slovakia from Trnava to Nitra is open in end of the 1980´s

[mccsa]

Love this series! Will there be more first-person rides through Asturis? Also curious about your next project—do you think CS2 is (or will be) in a state to support a long-term custom project? I think it would be cool to imagine a kind of alternate-history utopian city—what if the various "mistakes" in city planning in the 20th and 21st centuries hadn't happened?

[bruh]

maybe you can plop an invisable commercial building underneath the gas station, so people actually visit

[damn]

Just a recommendation for the bus transport networks: For this age, a great fit is the B732 (in the workshop). Ran from the 90s until 2015 in Prague, last one got retired in 2019 in Havlíčkův Brod. I'm not sure if this hasn't been said/implemented yet, but would make a lot of difference for the perfectionist bus nerds lol

[SoWhiskey]

I can't wait for the next episode! Deluge?

@Akuras I in poland we build one highway called gierkowka from warsaw to katowice fully new road which could be called highway. In 1970-1980 A little mistake but you still done a great work!
