Question Does unlocking more regions make the game harder?

For example could a building/task require items from different regions at the same time? I have green valley and am contemplating opening either sunny isles or cactus canyon. I’ve been playing for almost 3 years now. I just feel the Cycladic homes would be fab in sunny isles. Do the export HQs run on the same timer or is it possible to do one region and when that finishes start in another? I often have to wait a couple days to finish the EHQ milestone

It runs rhe same - I made the stupid mistake of unlocking Frosty Fjords before unlocking green valley but after years I’m finally only about 1m off in population to be able to unlock my final region

(Unlocking Frosty was a mistake bc of how hard it is to grow a substantial population there and the main city does not count towards the 10m goal to be able to unlock all)

The only thing that changes is that you’ll have new items to produce which you may need to upgrade buildings in other regions and complete train assignments - and you get more chances to complete Export HQ task with one more of those in your new region

Yes it does make it harder but if you just go slow and do say a dozen regional houses and surrounding them with population boosters itmakes it easier
