SimCity Guide › Regions › Region 7

Horizon Archipelago

  • Cities: 11
  • Great Works: 3

This picturesque chain of islands has several cities on each of its three major islands. These rocky islands sit high in the water, with exposed cliffs dictating interesting city planning choices. Island shores with spectacular ocean views lend themselves well to developing wealthy resorts.

Toyokuni Strand

The shoreline that sweeps around the edge of this site provides highly desirable land to build upon. Massive crude oil and raw ore deposits force mayors to decide between business and pleasure.

Oolong Peak

This site rests atop a high peak. What it lacks in beachfront property it makes up for in dazzling clifftop views. A major coal deposit in the center of the peak lures mayors to invest in a mining operation.

Souchong Summit

Coal deposits in this site provide a great starting point for mayors willing to work at high altitudes. Rail running up the mountainside provide it another welcome connection to the region.

Ceylon Steppes

This tiered site has a generous helping of raw ore throughout and a large reservoir of crude oil just below the surface. The rail running through this site is ready to carry resources to the Global Market.

Lapsang Landing

Deposits of raw ore in this site are a tempting prize for industrious mayors. A nearby train trestle runs trains through this site to connect it to the rest of the region.

Hokusai Cliffs

With two tiers to build upon, this site has good amounts of all natural resources. Rail running through the base of the cliff connects industry in this site to the Global Market.

Hiroshige Overlook

This mountaintop site has a large deposit of coal, but its true value lies in its breathtaking view of the entire region.

Conch Beach

The longer beach, this site’s namesake, is accompanied by a smaller, private beach that locals favor. Crude oil and raw ore deposits in this site can be used for the foundation of a specialized city.

Nautilus Plateau

The panoramic view of the archipelago from this towering site is not the only draw here. Rose Bridge helps you ship all the coal and raw ore you’ll extract from underground deposits.

Cowrie Cove

Coal deposits in this site provide a foundation for a beachside mining town. The beach running along the cove is ideal for mayors with tourism in mind.

Triton Valley

Coal in this site is found throughout three tiers of elevation, allowing for tunnels, ramps, and highly desirable cliffs. Rail connects to Nautilus Plateau on its way to the record-setting Rose Bridge.
