The main game world is split into a number of Islands and the game allows you to control one of them. If you want to expand your reign, you can make alliances with friends and expand your cities by conquering the others. One other way to expand your cities is to find new cities on the Islands, and join them with yours. That way you can have more resources such as Wood, Silver and Stone, and more lands to explore and discover.
