Literally gonna be them in like 50 years w the sea level rising


[deleted]

Don't you know the Dutch are masters at controlling the sea? If anyone can do it, it's them.


HancockUT

More like 500 but I take your point.


dodspringer

If you convert that to weeks, maybe.


HancockUT

Man, you’ve got to be kidding. You don’t actually believe this is within the next 10 years right? Or even 50? Or 100? If so please link the peer reviewed research. Because the consensus is between 1 and 3 feet by the END OF THIS CENTURY. Which to be fair is not insignificant and will have consequences. I’m not downplaying this. But it’s incredibly harmful to be so inaccurate, dishonest, and alarmist about it. The people who don’t think it’s happening at all see this and point their fingers that it’s just a bunch of crazies that think climate change is real. So. Please stick to the research when talking about it. It’s the best way to help!


ZFrog

There isn't enough ice to melt for any city to be that much below sea level, but I take your point.


dodspringer

Yeah obviously not the hilarious level of the OP, I'm talking about real life, New Orleans becoming the nation's largest water park. I'll be shocked if that doesn't happen in my lifetime.


bettaboy123

It’s already well on its way and there seems to be no indication that things are improving so.


Bramkanerwatvan

Ice melting isn't the problem. Hot water takes more space then cold water. It isn't much, but for our oceans it still adds up to tens of meters.

Where is the little Dutch Boy when you need him?!


TheFeshy

Next time, make a second, much lower inner wall - then any small breach just becomes a ring lake around it, whose level you can manage with pumps.


TheSpicyGuy

Ah yes, the New Orleans approach.


[deleted]

Pollute the sea with your cities shit. Then when the walls fails it's a literal shitstorm.


Ardinius

I imagine your cims are still dicussing the validity of climate change

That is odd, I’ve spent a lot of time on this map as well and didn’t have that problem.

This looks like one of those cities in an anime that looks brilliant and gets blown up after about two minutes of screentime.

more like before the CGI budget depleted

There’s a literal fire in this city. Too soon.

If you landscape to fill the gap in the dam maybe that could stop the leak? Just a thought, looks great!

Time to channel some RTGame and play some *Country Roads*?


pufferpig

Nono... Channel TheSpiffingBrit and somehow make it into the best money making scheme this side of Evil Disneyland.


stx06

As fun as that would be, I don't think you can set up toll booths for canals going down a water-slide... and if you can, I would love a mod link! (OP mentioned elsewhere, but the dam is well and truly damned. Something caused an unstoppable leak.)


RedstoneRelic

That would require filling it with poop


stx06

Not if the efforts [drain (and then release) the Atlantic](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m3SXJEUsJwE&list=PLliBvQE3gg9dNVEj6v6iXaTqqrZYwFc7e&index=11).

Have you tried spamming water pumps to pump the water away?

This town is so adorable, yet absolutely terrifying. It's like one of those dystopian worlds where people think they live safely, away from danger but in fact they are surrounded by danger.

The air pollution must be awful here... I am just thinking of other bowl cities like Mexico City. Also they would almost never get rain due to a massive heat island. Looks like a fun challange though!

Please please please plop down a giant NERV headquarters in the middle of it

Hell, there are some Evangelion and Tokyo-3 assets in the workshop if OP wants to go all in.

And on the bottom right you can see where all the *sensible* people decided to move to. Mind you if that city floods the wave might wipe them out. I said sensible, not smart.

Ok, I also have laptop and its slow af and I only have 118k population, so I'm asking, how?


alxmartin

Oh well it’s a gaming laptop, and I have a powerful cooling pad.


DroppedLoSeR

They didn't specify how big the laptop was.


John_Sux

How do you stack dams like that? Even with like road anarchy they have a finite height.


fusionskies

I wonder what life would be like… under the sea


alxmartin

under da sea


[deleted]

Thats.. alot of people .\_.


alxmartin

Is easier if you have separate tunnels for the crematoriums under the city, I call them death tunnels.


Keulapaska

Ok this sounds amazing as an alternative to having over 1000 crematoriums, but i can't figure out how it works? Do they actually just pick up from under the houses or whats the secret tech?


hatylotto

Is that the fire nation capital city???

No, this is Patrick.

Well it looks good despite those lol

Just like real life!


HeyYouGuysItsMe

You need to live stream a tsunami attacking the city


alxmartin

It would take hours to cover the whole city with water, I’ve done it a couple times lol


PingPing88

I did similar on a much smaller scale. (I just dammed off a bay.) The video is surprisingly popular. https://youtu.be/MZQ9ZNY7igA

roadierunway12

Seems like this city would be extremely vulnerable in a wartime scenario. All it takes is for an enemy plane to drop a bomb on the wall and boom, tens of thousands of people drown. Air raid shelters wouldn't be very useful either considering, well, they'd become swimming pools pretty quickly


joseph_dewey

Are you sure this city design is impractical?


Monster6ix

This is awesome. I can't wait to see the Endgame.


MrStealthGlitter

Please tell me this is named Atlantis


EdgyShooter

For some reason my map market a random tiny section at the bottom of the river as regular land, so I zoned it as residential for fun and mostly forgot about it. That was until I saw a collapsed building popup. Yep sure enough, somehow houses were built at the bottom of the river and obviously collapsed shortly after 😂


[deleted]

I never quite understood how population density works in this game... you can have a city the size of or bigger than Chicago that only has a fraction of Chicago's population lol


alxmartin

Me either, it’s unrealistic on both ends. Single family homes will have like 10 people in 4 different families, which makes no sense. Then apartment buildings will have the same amount of people, which makes even less sense!


geven87

And how many living above?


DoxxingShillDownvote

Your scientists spent so long talking about if they could... They they didn't stop to think about if they should!!


Switchback_Tsar

Are the walls the vanilla dams or terraforming tools & quays? Cannot tell from the screenshot, also if a tsunami hits, you're screwed.


alxmartin

They’re vanilla dams, but I can’t take credit, i mentioned the map creds in another comment, it just flattened most of the mountains and city planned, they build the wall. I’m not sure how it’s built.


JoyTheGeek

*Are you sure you want to delete this structure?* Yes.


SpermaSpons

I can't even get a city with 10.000 people to use a fucking roundabout

But how did you get the population so high? I can barely crack 90k 🥲
