RoWorld City Upgrades: Develop an Existing Position

Start with the city already on your map

The RoWorld gameplay guide describes clicking an existing city again to upgrade it. Choose the city you actually want to improve, especially when several buildings sit close together.

This keeps an established-location upgrade separate from placing another city elsewhere.

Cities serve troop capacity, so connect the upgrade decision to the army you want your nation to support. Do not mistake a higher capacity goal for troops immediately available to commit.

Compare improvement with another location

An established city can be worth developing when it sits inside a position you intend to hold. New construction may instead serve a different part of your growing nation. Compare the practical locations before deciding that one action is always better.

Keep the gold shown by the current offer in your budget. There is no useful reason to assume every city level shares the same cost or capacity increment. The meaningful question is whether this improvement helps the next stage of your campaign.

Protect the investment as the match grows

An upgraded location is still part of the contested map. If a powerful rival is already approaching it, consider the defensive problem before continuing to concentrate development there. Later missile threats make important infrastructure another reason to plan SAM coverage.

Use build cities when you are deciding where to add a new city. For a wider choice among capacity, income and defense, the building comparison gives each option a separate job.
