Leveling Up
Township offers many ways to level up in order to unlock the best content of the game such as, Special Decorations, Community Buildings, Factories, Farm etc. There are some ways which will allow you to level up much faster than the average player:
- One of the most popular ways to level up is to do helicopter orders. You need to upgrade your factories with coins, this makes the marketplace purchases equal to what you would sell in your own factories.
- Start on upgrading XP Boost in your factories.
- Make sales to the township people.
- Grow and harvest crops. Planting and harvesting wheat is by far the best starting activity in order to level up faster.
- Help people in Co-op mode.

Conclusion
Township is a creative, well-structured town simulator with a huge variety of content and an astonishing amount of playstyles to play! I can safely say that this is the most well-designed mobile city-building game that I have played so far. The game emphasizes on hard work, patience, intelligence and multi tasking. The art style looks beautiful and is spot on for the type of game Playrix have gone for. The game isn’t 3D, so it runs pretty well on more low-powered machinery. While there are many mobile sim games out there, Playrix have made a game that does not feel like any other sim game out there, it has it’s own character and has specific mechanics that you would not see in any sim game right now. I highly recommend you to play it with your friends, as you can share useful goods with each other, growing each other’s cities! The more friends you have, the more boxes you can receive on the market. If you are looking for a sophisticated and well-structured sim game, this one will be your go-to!
