Six islands or archipelagos can be built on. However, only one island is unlocked at the beginning. To complete the first island, you must be at least level 10, while the rest of cities require that you reach level 25. If the population is large enough to level up, it is important to keep citizens happy. This is done by ensuring the city has power, water, cell towers, and essential services like schools, police stations and fire departments. The city’s utilities and service buildings will only be able to cover a small portion of it, so they should be placed strategically to ensure everyone is happy.
