Outpost not upgrading to Cities

Using no Mods and no Betas (just plain old vanilla AoW4)
"Outposts" will not upgrade to "Cities" regardless of resources.

This is a Windows 11 compatibly problem (when nothing else fixes the problem its a Widows feature).
Left click on your Steam desktop icon . Right click "Properties". Right click on "Compatibly". Right click the box ""Run this program in compatibly mode for:". Use the "pull down menu" to select "Windows 8".
 
Hey Mziln D'Nau Qu'ellar, thank you for reaching out. Is there any chance you were playing a map with Megacities or a Faction with Chosen Destroyers? These would not allow you to create new cities.

It's unlikely that this is a Windows Compatibility Issue, at least one fixed by Windows 8 as we don't support that platform at all.
