Township

Overview of Township
Township is a popular city-building simulation game developed by Playrix. First released globally in 2013, it has become one of the most beloved mobile games in India, captivating millions with its unique blend of city management, farming, and trading gameplay.
In Township, players start with a small plot of land and gradually build it into a thriving town. The game combines elements of agriculture (growing crops, raising livestock), industry (processing raw materials into goods), and urban development (constructing residential and commercial buildings, adding decorations).
What makes Township particularly appealing to Indian players is its extensive localization for the Indian market. The game features Indian-style buildings, regional crops, and special events celebrating Indian festivals, creating a familiar and engaging experience.
Unlike many city-building games that focus solely on construction, Township emphasizes a balanced ecosystem where farming feeds industry, industry supports commerce, and all elements work together to create a prosperous community. This holistic approach has resonated strongly with Indian players who understand the interconnectedness of rural and urban life.
Over the years, Township has maintained its popularity in India through regular updates, new content, and responsiveness to player feedback. The game's social features, which allow players to trade with friends and join co-ops, have also contributed to its enduring success.

Township Gameplay
Township offers a rich and varied gameplay experience that combines multiple elements to create a cohesive town-building simulation. The game is designed to be relaxing yet engaging, allowing players to progress at their own pace while providing constant goals and challenges.
Farming & Agriculture
At the heart of Township lies its farming system. Players start with a small farm where they can grow various crops. In the Indian version, these include:
- Rice, wheat, and sugarcane - staple Indian crops
- Cotton and jute for textile production
- Mango, banana, and coconut - popular Indian fruits
- Spices like turmeric, chili, and coriander
Players can also raise livestock including cows, goats, and chickens, which provide milk, wool, and eggs for use in various recipes and products.
Industry & Production
Raw materials from farms are processed in various factories to create finished goods. Township features a wide range of production buildings:
- Flour mill - processes wheat into flour
- Dairy - produces butter, cheese, and yogurt from milk
- Bakery - makes bread, biscuits, and cakes
- Textile mill - creates fabric from cotton and jute
- Spice factory - processes and packages Indian spices
Each production takes time, and players must manage their factories efficiently to meet the demands of their growing town.
Town Development
As your town grows in Township, you'll need to construct various buildings to accommodate your citizens and provide services:
- Residential buildings - from small huts to apartment complexes
- Community services - schools, hospitals, and police stations
- Entertainment - parks, cinemas, and temples
- Transportation - roads, buses, and train stations
- Special landmarks - Indian monuments and cultural centers
Each building type requires specific resources and provides unique benefits to your town, such as increasing population capacity or boosting production.

- Sell surplus goods at the market for coins
- Fulfill orders from townsfolk for rewards
- Trade with friends and co-op members
- Participate in the global trade market
- Complete export missions for special rewards
The game features two currencies: coins (earned through regular gameplay) and Township cash (premium currency used for speeding up processes and purchasing special items).

New crops and livestock

Residential and public buildings
Special items and decorations

Indian Player Strategies
Indian players have developed unique strategies to excel in Township, leveraging their understanding of local content and event patterns. Here are some proven tips from India's top Township players:
Farming & Resource Management
- Focus on regional crops: During normal gameplay, prioritize rice and wheat as they are used in most Indian food productions
- Plan for festivals: Start growing mangoes and sugarcane 2 weeks before Diwali - they're essential for sweet productions
- Rotate crops efficiently: Use the 3-field rotation method (one for quick crops, one for medium, one for slow) to ensure constant supply
- Invest in storage early: Indian events often require large quantities of spices and grains - expand silos before festival seasons
- Balance livestock: Maintain at least 5 cows and 10 chickens - milk and eggs are crucial for both regular and event productions
Town Development
- Zone your town: Create separate areas for farming, industry, and residential buildings - this improves efficiency and aesthetics
- Prioritize Indian landmarks: They increase happiness more than generic ones and often provide production bonuses during events
- Upgrade roads strategically: Connect high-production areas first to reduce transport time between farms and factories
- Plan for expansion: Leave space around your town center for special event buildings that appear during festivals
- Balance population and production: Each new house requires more goods - never build more homes than your factories can support
Trade & Economy
- Specialize in Indian goods: They often fetch higher prices in the market, especially during regional events
- Save coins for festivals: Diwali and Holi events introduce exclusive decorations that boost town value permanently
- Join an Indian co-op: Members often prioritize trading regional resources that are harder to obtain
- Complete export missions: Focus on those requiring spices and textiles - they give better rewards in the Indian version
- Use Township cash wisely: Spend it on production slots rather than speeding up processes - better long-term investment
Event Preparation
- Diwali preparation: Stockpile sugar, milk, and mangoes from September - essential for festival sweets production
- Holi strategy: Save dyes and colored powders from previous events - they're needed for special Holi decorations
- Eid planning: Increase date and milk production 3 weeks before - used in special Eid sweets and dishes
- Energy management: Save energy packs for event days - you'll need extra to complete all festival tasks
- Co-op coordination: Assign specific event tasks to co-op members based on their town's strengths
Pro Tips from India's Top Township Players
From Priya Sharma (Top 0.1% in India)
"The secret to maximizing your town's growth is balancing traditional and modern elements. Indian landmarks boost happiness more than international ones, which increases your citizens' productivity. I always maintain a 3:1 ratio of Indian to global buildings. Also, never sell spices on the open market - they're critical for all festival events and co-op missions."
From Arjun Patel (Regional Champion - Gujarat)
"For Gujarati players, focus on cotton production and textile mills. These products are always in high demand and form the backbone of our regional event challenges. During Navratri, textile exports earn 50% more! Also, joining a local co-op (I'm in 'Gujarat Growers') gives you access to region-specific resources that are hard to obtain otherwise."
From Suresh Kumar (Event Champion 2023)
"My event strategy is simple but effective: I track the Hindu calendar and prepare 6 weeks in advance. For Diwali 2023, I started accumulating clay (for diyas) from August! This preparation let me finish all event tasks in 3 days, earning me the top prize. Also, always participate in the night events - they're less crowded, and rewards are the same!"
