I love these long episodes, james. 09:00 for the chirper, "hide it!" 14:00 there's a mod called "historical districts," which allows you to, well, historical-ise whole districts. 44:30 there's always that one obnoxious building in an otherwise normal area irl, so I think it's realistic. 1:00:00 you could use some ivy props on the quay, so the buildings don't have a view of concrete/brick. 1:01:00 blah la la la la laaa. lol. generally, park zones are better imo, they actually generate income, and have a wide area of effect. same with industry and university zones.

Just found this series, binge watched everything until now it in 2 days. 1) I liked the idea of a very small high density area at the coast (like the one next to Bedford that was immediately destroyed). I see wierd zone rules in real life that has those harsh shifts from one type to the next. 2) Noone would object to you, using the build-in assets, like the dam. 3) Until you make the real university, maybe put in some of the old-school single building ones. Right now you rely on highly educated ppl moving in. 4) Beware of only having the current industry area - it makes everyone downtown commute through the initial area. Altho it seems manageable right now.

When you build a sunken road or railway and need a bridge over it at ground level, don't use a bridge! Instead, turn a small section of the sunken road into a tunnel. Just a tiny part right at the edge of the ground level road. It will look much nicer and you won't have a long road section of bridge on ground level which is not only ugly but also breaks the landscape on ground because bridges are supposed to be in air only.

For the whole episode I thought about a tram line between the new rail station and the stadium - and then you put in a bus, expecting it to be really busy. Maybe a tram would be really better but running more straight than your bus is doing - with smaller circulator busses supporting it and adding coverage to the network. The new tram could interline with the old one along the dedicated tracks in stadium district - as it also connects to the train line passengers would be redirected and you need less vehicles for the (non-dedicated) downtown section of the tram network.
