List of Cities under Combine Control

Cities, also known as Metropolitan Areas, are large; Combine-urban controlled communities. Each city has a Nexus and often local Resistance cells. Union forces and large walls keep cities safe from alien wildlife like antlions and headcrabs.


 * City I: Located in Miami, United States, the city is the 1st city to be established by the Combine, on December 24th, 2018, 2 months after the end of the 7HW in October 24th, 2018. The Combine has established this city for our Platinum tier loyalists, who will enjoy the sunny beaches & exquisite spas of Miami. As is with every city, however, recently, a Resistance cell has developed. The Vizcaya Museum & Gardens has been chosen as the Nexus, to protect Miami from Resistance attacks
 * City II: Located in Yamoussoukro, Côte d'Ivoire. Côte d'Ivoire in Region III/Africa has always been a source of big problems to the Combine. Due to it being ravaged by the 7HW back in October 2018, with the Grande Mosquée de Yamoussoukro serving as Yamoussoukro's Nexus. The city is, essentially, an big slum, with non-existent education or healthcare services, and an underfunded Combine force. But compared to other cities in Africa like Mogadishu (City 10) or Johannesburg (City 20), it is paradise.
 * City III: Located in Tromsø, Norway. Succeeded only by Berlin (City 6) & Madrid (City 23), Tromsø is the 3rd best city to live in Region II/Europe. The Combine here wear unique armor in the style of Norway's flag - Red, Blue & White. The Tromsø Cathedral is used as the Nexus. Unlike most cities, when cars are only available to Gold class tier loyalists, due to the Snowy winter, cars in Tromsø are almost a necessity, this is why they have removed the "Gold class tier only" requirements for cars, especially S.U.Vs.
 * City IV: Located in Belfast, Northern Ireland. Historically, Belfast was considered as the center of The Troubles period in Irish history. Irish Republicanism was still high when the Combine turned Belfast into City IV it is today, with the Belfast City Hall reestablished as the Belfast Nexus. The city has always ended last on the Region 2 Quality of Life Index. Antlion outbreaks have been common the past few years, including the infamous 2020 South Belfast Antlion outbreak.
 * City V: Located in New Orleans, Louisiana. A huge populated city isolated by the surrounding Swamp that is left mostly in ruins following the 7HW, and an breeding ground for Antlions & Headcrabs, with the St. Louis Cathedral used as a Combine Nexus to look over New Orleans.
 * City 6: Located in Berlin, Germany. The Combine damaged Berlin severely during the 7 Hour War, with many of its historical monuments reduced to shambles. The Berlin Cathedral and the Berliner Fernsehturm still remain however. The Combine established the Berlin Cathedral as a Loyalist paradise. The Berliner Fernsehturm was transformed into a major Nexus headquarters for the Civil Protection. The Brandenburg Gate is destroyed and parts float around in the Spree River making it easy to loot for metal to sell. Reichstag Building is used as a housing complex for loyalists with a silver tier loyalty level. This complex has its own Combine guards who wear a unique Red & Orange outfit. The Humboldt University of Berlin is used as a large Combine garrison for synth forces. The Mühlendamm has not been touched during the war and is fairly in decent shape as the combine use it for checkpoint around the parts of Berlin. Antlion attacks are frequent in this city, though in recent years the Combine has established large thumpers on the outskirts of the city & the area around Checkpoint Charlie, which have greatly restricted the annual attacks.
 * City 7: Located in New York City. Police in this city are known to be strict even by CMB standards. The city is also notorious for being very poor.
 * City 8: Located in Tokyo, Japan. City 8 is a large metroplex and one of the most populated cities in the world. Large portions of the outer wards of Tokyo like Saitama, Kawasaki south of the Tama River, Yokohama and Chiba were torn apart in the 7HW which restricts City 8 to wards closer to the city centre, thus making it extremely compact and hard to properly manage. The Tokyo Metro acts as a way to get around the city with its multiple intact train stations. the Citadel stands in what was formerly the Imperial Palace and Chiyoda.
 * City 9: Located in Jakarta, Indonesia. A large city on the Indonesian coastline in the west. It has a high industrial count with the biggest products daily for the combine. The Istiqlal Mosque is used as Jakarta's Nexus.
 * City 10: Located in Mogadishu, Somalia. This city has been used by the Combine for weapon experiments which have led to the creation of a permanent thick fog covering the entire city, sun rays barely pass through it. The city has been abandoned since the Combine cannot operate there anymore and is now a dead city, filled with zombies and other Xen creatures. It might be a good refuge for some rebels & scrap dealers but it's really hard to survive there for more than two weeks without being killed by creatures or the acidic rains.
 * City 11: Located in Rio De Janiero, Brazil. Known for its tall apartment complexes that tower the Central District and its expression of Brazilian culture and language. the city is not in good condition however power and sewage systems have been kept up by the combine as well as the citadel powering the city. The city is mostly a slum. with the Municipal Theater of Rio de Janeiro as the Nexus and the Christ the Redeemer as the sky bridge.
 * City 12: Located in Bangor, Maine. A small populated city with poor economy. The Combine uses the Maine Discovery Museum as a Nexus, with Antlion & Headcrab populations having quadrupled since 2022. It is mostly a desolate city, with destroyed tanks & jets from the Seven Hour War in the City Limits.
 * City 13: Located in Lilongwe, Malawi. An overpopulated Slum in Region III/Africa. The Malawi Revenue Authority building was used as a Nexus until December 2020, when it was bombed by Resistance terrorists. Currently, a Citadel is being constructed in the Mchesi Slum Area to keep City 13 under control.
 * City 14: Located in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. The metro system helps connect Mexico City (City 19) & Austin (City 30) with each other, helping connect Mexico & The United States. The city was established for Platinum-tier loyalists.
