Expansions
Purpose
At the beginning, the area where you can build your city is rather small. The City Map is an area divided into tiles, that looks like a square grid and where you can place your first buildings, in order to start your city's development. You start with 15x10 tiles (the equivalent of 3x2 Expansions).
But of course your goal is to expand, and your biggest challenge is to make the best of the space at your disposal. To enlarge your buildable area you will need Expansions. Each Expansion ads to your city a buildable area of 5x5 tiles.
You have three ways of getting Expansions: you can unlock them in the Research Tree (Research Expansions), gain them by completing all encounters in a Province (Province Expansions), or buy them as Premium Expansion.
Requirements
There are different ways to get expansions:
- Research Expansions: You can unlock these expansions by researching the respective technologies in the Research menu. You will need Coins to place them or alternatively you can pay with Diamonds (Premium).
- Province Expansions: You will receive these expansions as a reward if you complete all encounters of a certain amount of provinces. No Coins or Diamonds are needed to place Province Expansions. A tooltip in the Build menu on the Province Expansion will show you how many “Completed Provinces” you have and how many are “Required for the next expansion.”
- Premium Expansions: These can only be paid with Diamonds. They are strictly limited, but for every Main Hall upgrade, one more expansion of this type will be available.
