Continuous Mode allows for infinite play and players get to choose what difficulties (if any) they will have to overcome. This is a more free range version of the game and allows experienced players free will and has infinite replay value, especially due to the randomly generated maps. The goals change depending on the mode and mission, but essentially they are: make money, gather materials, advance your civilization, all while maintaining happiness with your current population. You will be required to build farms, logging camps, mines, and various other materials in order to provide for and increase your settlements. In every case, expansion is key to achieving your goals. Islands have fertility levels, which shows you what is good to grow and what is not, along with certain materials that are unique to the island. Only by expanding to other islands can you acquire other resources and reach the upper civilization levels.
