Headquarters placement and upgrades

The headquarters gives a growth bonus to the nearest city. Company progression unlocks expansions and additional advantages.

The confirmed picture

What we know

Rank is tied to world population growth, so progress is not limited to the headquarters city. ↗

Later headquarters expansions add bonuses. ↗

Municipal placement also matters for landmarks and environmental effects. ↗

From information to action

How to approach the decision

Editorial planning advice based on the confirmed systems above.

  1. Choose a city where the network can support additional growth.
  2. Check the six ratings before relying on a growth bonus.
  3. Expand other connected towns as well as the headquarters region.

A mistake to avoid

Exact bonus percentages and rank thresholds need release-build verification. A bonus is not a substitute for unmet needs.

Verify at launch

What still needs live data

Exact numerical values, release-build menus and reproducible gameplay tests will be added only after verification.

Exact values and operating advice are added after testing against a recorded game build. Check the source date before relying on a number.
