I still don't get how the research would work, it has to be tied to IC
in any case
London
Paris
Bruxelles
Amsterdam
Hamburg
Munchen and
Berlin
are not the only urban areas in Europe, and with the much smaller provs you could certanly add many more urban areas
If you noticed in the campaign maps shown before, most major cities had large numbers of buildings on the provinces. I think it means that they are an urban area. (For instance, in the English screenie, there was large amount of buildings in London (Which was urban in HoI2) and Birmingham (Which was also urban in HoI2). Paris and Berlin also fill out those conditions.
Other than that, you'd have every Western European Capital, plus important cities: Lisbon, Madrid, Barcelona, Sevilla (?), Marseilles (?), Milan, Roma, Copenhagen, Edinbourgh, Glasgow (?), Warsaw (?), Vienna, Budapest (?), Bucarest (?), Belgrade (?), Istambul, etc.
On another matter, how can you research reliability? That seems a rather odd thing to be researched.
On a final note, great map, the Channel Islands seem rather big though.
