Hi

I noticed something odd about what zones get classified as urban and get those cool pictures of the city in question.

Why isnt Paris for example an urban area? I was dissapointed not to see the Eifell Tower. I would seriously love it if more provinces where major cities are could have those cool city photos added.

I know its not very important but still I think it would add to the feel of the game, yah know having my panzers roll down the road to the Eifell Tower would be uber cool :)

Thanks Johan its a great game

Paris was not contested like Berlin or Stalingrad; it was surrendered by the french without a fight to avoid its destruction. The reason for not representing it by a city province is that fighting over the province should not be on the scale it would be if it was indeed a city province game-wise.

Gameplay consideration.

Yes it makes historical sense of course, but what say if I played as France, would it not be reasonable to assume that I would choose Paris as a major urban area to make a last stand if things went badly?

Anyway its not really important right now, mayhap it cant be changed later.

P.S

Slargos that was like the first time you've replied to one of my posts without being a rude ass :p

P.P.S. I'm LE in disguise :D

No, I don't think it would be reasonable. It's just one of those things that shouldn't be left up to the player. While we should give the player some options, we shouldn't throw historicity clean out the window.

It is easily moddable by yourself, so it's not really an issue needs taken up by PI, IMHO.

Surely not the first time.

You're answered in the tone you ask. Naught but fair. :)

And yes, I know.
