Regions operate as satellite cities, each with a unique map and theme. The style of each Region is reflected through distinct Residential Zones, Factories, Crafting Shops, and Crafting Materials.
Three new Regions await:
Green valley: The grass IS greener on this side. Build a modern, eco-friendly city in this lush river valley.
Cactus Canyon: This desert is far from deserted. Build a warm, bustling city. There is no better setting for a road trip than this gorgeous canyon.
Limestone Cliffs: These lush green fields and hills are buzzing with the sounds of summer forests and meadows. Build a city with irresistible combinations of natural beauty, delicious street food, and kinship.
What is Regional Population and how is it counted?
Regional Population is the number of people living in your unlocked Regions. You can check your Regional Population by tapping the population icon located next to your city level.
You’ll see the population of each unlocked Region, and the total population across all Regions.
Each Region has a Residential Zone type. (These are areas designated for home-building.) To build Regional Residential Zones, access the Residential Buildings menu from any of your Regions or from your Capital City.
Residential Zones from unlocked Regions may be placed within any Region you’ve unlocked, including your Capital City.
Things to know:
Regional Residential Zones need Regional Raw Materials and Regional Crafting Items to be upgraded.
Regional Residential Zones need Regional Area Services to operate effectively.
Each Region has its own Regional Area Services. Regional Residential Zones need Regional Area Services.
