Originally posted by: ThomasAH I see that some people are criticism HabLeUrG's work, because of misplacing/choosing wrong cities. I understand that people want there countries capital or hometown in this cj (and I'm glad Amsterdam is taking part ) but why should you say such negative things, like HabLeUrG's work is noobish? I don't think Samilou can do this better. And don't forget that they're all large cities, so it's very difficult to create those different climates. All i can say is that this cj is really looking amazing, and I can't wait for the next update and some more pics.quote> I'm not saying his work is noobish, i'm saying his work in Europe looks noobish and crappy because of the many inaccuracies. Yes I could do it far better when it comes to Europe as i'm somewhat of an expert on geography (especially in Europe, but not natural geography) and my great interests are history and geography, national economics and similar subjects, i'm playing realistic grand strategy games since several years for around 5-6 hours a day on average, i'm also fascinated by maps, population and cities.... And when I do this kind of project's I usually look at the most accurate maps and sources I can find and go after it. I know exactly what i'm talking about when it comes to these subjects. I also believe many of the inaccuracies may be because of the original creator of the map. I am not saying your work is horrible as you may not have the same fascination or interest as I have in these subjects or being as fussy with accuracy. you have done a nice job overall and I understand that you have spent many hours on this so don't take me harshly, i'm trying to correct only.

Originally posted by: Krio Yes, the Krio agrees with Samilou. I can understand, that you misplace some small city like Budapest or Vienna in your map, but St. Petersburg in Estonia. "Peter's" population is twice as big than Estonia's whole population. Are you doing Oslo because of Glenni's bats? If so, there is very few Stockholm's landmarks in the STEX, so you could replace Stockholm with Helsinki. And even winter whole Finland and Baltic Countries aren't coverd in snow. Bad Europe, bad.quote> You know both Budapest and Vienna is bigger than Detroit, Miami , Seattle, Lisbon, Helsinki and are both at the same size as Stockholm? You can't really claim they are small. And St: Petersburg's pop is about as big as Finland's pop (5 million) which is a much better comparison (Estonia only has 1,2 million). Go after Google Earth and some atlases instead so these mistakes don't get repeated, that kind of mistakes ruin the whole CJ in some people's opinion (like me).

You should take a look at some atlases and surf the internet, use Google Earth or something similar if you have it.... You have heavily misplaced St: Petersburg in Estonia, although it's possible you could mix Talinn and St: Petersburg, and no country in whole Europe is arctic mind you, maybe a bit in mountanous areas. You should do a big rewamp of Europe in my opinion because as of now it looks extremely noobish as if it was made by a 10 year old schoolkid. And what about Helsinki and Göteborg? Helsinki (1,3 million inh) is three times as big as Oslo (400000 inh) and much more important..... Göteborg is Sweden's second biggest city with 800000 inh while Malmö has only 500000.

i would like to point out that Finland is not arctic.... It's about the same climate as the areas around southern Canada for example or around the great lakes.
