Build a New City

The City Economic Simulation DLC lets you found a city of your own. Acquire the exclusive rights to develop an undeveloped region and turn it into a thriving metropolis.

As founder you automatically hold the mayor’s office for the first 30 years — unmatched control over the city through its formative period.

Founding a city

Open the Nation Map

Click the Nation Map icon on the bottom bar. In this DLC the nation map replaces the world map.

Pick an empty region

Select a region with no city on it and click [Build a New City] at the top left of the window.

The game then offers the development opportunity: exclusive rights to develop and run the new city for 30 years, in exchange for a donation to the city’s treasury.

Pay for the rights

With enough cash you can proceed. The money leaves your company’s account and a member of your political party takes the mayor’s office.

You need a political party first. Without one there is nobody to fill the mayor’s role, so form a party before you start.

Start building

Once the rights are yours the game switches to the new city.
