Not that Paradox has made a habit of underestimating Nordic and Scandinavian matters, but two more cities, larger than is perhaps assumed, can go on that list: ;)

Stockholm, population 590503 in 1940

Copenhagen, found no good fig for late 30's but stood at 780000+ already in 1921. 800000+ by WWII if I'm not mistaken.

Oslo and Helsinki were quite a bit smaller. If some lower population figure limit is set they might or might not go on that list. If so perhaps also the Swedish western port city of Gothenburg, with 281287 inhabitants in 1940.

Though looking at the figures cropping up, in order not to spam the map with urban areas, perhaps only 1 million+ cities should go on it, true metropoli?

What I believe needs to be urban:

Europe:
- London
- Birmingham
- (if included) Manchester
- Paris
- Bordeaux
- Madrid
- Barcelona
- Rome
- Amsterdam
- Brussels
- Antwerp
- Hamburg
- Essen
- Bonn (if included)
- Berlin
- Munich
- Dresden (perhaps, major industral centre)
- Vienna
- Prague
- Milan
- Budapest
- Warsaw
- Minsk
- Kiev
- Smolensk
- Sevastopol (or at least some way of implementing MASSIVE PORT HERE)
- Moscow
- Leningrad
- Stalingrad

Africa
- Cairo

Asia/Oceania
- Tokyo
- Osaka? (not sure about 1936 size)
- Nanjing
- Beijing/Beiping
- Shanghai
- Suzhou/equiv (implementing the massive sprawl)
- Guangzhou
- Chongqing (possible? not sure about size of it, although it WAS big enough to become Nat capital)
- Delhi
- Calcutta
- Bombay
- Karachi? (unsure of size)

Americas
- Washington DC
- New York
- Boston
- Philadelphia
- Newark
- Atlantic City
- Detroit
- Chicago
- (if split) Norfolk - the northern area where Newport News and the shipyards are
- Los Angeles
- San Francisco

South America and any other potential Chinese cities I'm not so sure.


I agree with much of these. I modded my HOI to have actual city pictures for most of the cities listed- and more. 79 total. Mucho fun. I hope to see more in HOI3.
