Build and Conquer City Levels & Layouts

Read dated city upgrade conditions and plan housing, infrastructure and district growth.

FIELD MANUAL 7 published pages

City tooltips can ask for total residents, houses and apartments separately. Use the overview to interpret those categories, then choose a dated level reference or a layout that matches your next expansion.

Read the record, then make your plan

Check the evidence date next to each numerical example. Use the related tool with values from your current game rather than combining incompatible recordings.
