Map Update — Office & Factory Pickers

You can now pick where to expand on a real world map, not just from a dropdown.

Important: the map needs an internet connection to load. It uses OpenStreetMap tiles, so if you are offline or tiles are blocked, the map may not show. Switch to List view to use the country dropdown instead.

Company Profile → Open office

  • Map view is the default when opening a new office

  • Click a city to see setup cost and open there (London, Berlin, Tokyo, etc.)

  • Green = your offices, purple = you can open here, grey = locked (with a reason)

  • Use Map / List if you prefer the old country dropdown, or if the map does not load

Hardware → Manufacturing → Open new factory

  • Same map picker for building or renting a factory

  • Click a city, choose your console, then Build or Rent

  • Blue pins = your factories (pause, upgrade, cancel lease from the popup)

  • Map / List toggle keeps the old flow as a fallback

Real Estate

  • The property map uses the same shared map shell (same online requirement applies)

This is Wave 1 of the map feature with city-level placement for offices and factories.

Next we want to reuse this map for more layers: economic info, region demand, competitor offices, and richer overlays on the world map. If you have ideas for what should show on the map first, tell us in the forums.

Thanks for the feedback that pushed this, keep it coming.
