Learn about SimCity 2000 terrains: square pieces of land with 128 tiles per side, approximating 25 square miles.
Terrains in SimCity 2000 are square pieces of land, with each side measuring 128 tiles. Each tile approximates a single acre, roughly 200 x 200 feet, resulting in a total area of about 25 square miles. While this may seem large, most real-world cities are significantly larger.
There are two types of water in SimCity 2000: fresh water and salt water. Fresh water is typically found in ponds or rivers within your terrain, whereas salt water is located along the coast. It is possible to edit the terrain to a point where these distinctions no longer apply, but this is how most terrains begin.
- Consider the scale: 25 square miles is ample space, but real cities are often much larger.
- Understand water types: Fresh water for inland features, salt water for coastal areas.
- Experiment with terrain editing to change natural water placements.
