- Achieve the $10,000,000 Magnate achievement
Multi-Territory Operations
With multiple properties, you can:
- Run different production lines in different buildings
- Diversify your product portfolio
- Use properties as safe houses when evading police
- Scale employee count across all facilities
Employee Count by Property:
- Motel Room: 0
- Sweatshop: 1
- Storage Unit: 3
- Bungalow: 5
- Barn: 10

Regional Police Differences
As you progress to higher regions, police presence increases:
- Northtown/Westville: Basic patrols, minimal checkpoints
- Downtown: More frequent patrols, first checkpoints with barriers
- Docks/Suburbia: Police SUVs, heavy checkpoints
- Uptown: Maximum police presence, aggressive response
Plan your operations accordingly. Higher-risk territories require better escape routes and more careful planning.
Mastering territory control in Schedule I is the foundation of empire building. Unlock each region, understand its unique opportunities, and scale your operations as you climb the ranks.
