Metropolis Level

[Carlos Eduardo]

The metropolises do not level up: the level up messages appear, but when I leave the skirmish mode and look at the metropolis it remains at level 1. Mexico reached level 5 and stagnated, the others do not leave level 1.

I have the same problem

This is likely cause you loaded within the match. Should work if you play in one session. I believe this was already an issue back in the original release of AoE3.
You can use cheats to level up your city alternatively.

Yes, there was also a similar problem in the original version. I talked to support and they asked to stay tuned for updates. Thanks

Yes, in the original game, if you save your match and load it later to continue, the level up message would appear but it won't mean anything nor have any effect at the end. When you check your metropolis afterwards, it will remain at the same level you had it before starting that match.

But IMO, I don't think it was an issue but some sort of way to prevent cheating, like someone saving the game in the last second before winning, so everytime he loads it, he will receive the XP reward over and over to level up easily and fast.

I assume that may be true. But since that kind of cheating doesn't harm anyone, and also since you can literally just type in "Nova & Orion" to cheat yourself XP, I think the restriction when loading should be removed. Especially now since it's purely cosmetic (except for being an indicator of playtime with a nation).
All it really does in the end is confuse people and they end up disappointed.
