You simply build your developments until you get metropolises for their points, though you do have to do some road building to support your knights. I won a six player game that way once... four cities, two with metropolises, and developments.

Six friends had an expansion Settlers game going, and I showed up about halfway through. One of the players had to depart, so I took her place. She had few places to expand, with wheat-heavy resources and the wheat port. Her (now my) hexes had great rolls, though. I thought I had no chance of winning, but lo and behold, through saavy trading, building on the coasts, and developing a huge army, I came from behind to win. Weird how it works sometimes...
