This article will introduce the content of the Island Harbor map of "City Skylines 2". The game will be launched on the Chinese server Steam on October 24, 2023. I believe many players have already started to experience it. The game has 12 original maps, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. Interested players can check it out, I hope it will be helpful to everyone.

The map consists of an archipelago, including atolls, lagoons, and peninsulas. A road crosses the map connecting the larger islands, while also providing access to the outside world. The buildable area is divided into several parcels of land, and its location is suitable for various modes of transportation by sea, land and air.
Archipelago Harbor is relatively difficult to get started with only 16% of the buildable area. In addition, although there are transportation lines connecting the outside world, the distance between the railway and the buildable area at the beginning is very far.
There are many islands in this map that could be connected, presumably to create something like an Italianate or Croatian style city that would be very visually appealing. It can be said to be the most creative map among all currently available maps, but it is also relatively difficult to get started. The initial buildable area is relatively large, but the huge mountains and islands on both sides are also one of the problems faced.
It is expected that a large number of road hubs will be needed to connect all areas, but this will still cause considerable traffic problems. Looking at the map from another angle makes it easier to separate industrial and residential areas.
