Quick Tips
Pro strategies from experienced players.
Place parks between houses rather than in separate districts; overlapping beauty bonuses stack.
Connect towns with trade routes early. Passive income scales with each new settlement.
Research decoration unlocks before expanding too fast to keep beauty scores high.
Use first-person mode (F key) to walk your streets and spot ugly areas citizens hate.
Growth Checkpoints
A cleaner way to think about when to expand, specialize, and spend.
Food, storage, and the first service buildings matter more than beauty or tourism.
This is where you add dedicated warehouses, cleaner districts, and the first trade routes.
Only scale prestige, tourism, and large defensive works after core transport and materials stay positive.
