turkey unique goals in RFC

[turbomeded]

I have a problem with fulfilling the Turkey history goal in RFC. To be precise, it is the second objective (control Balkans, Black sea and Mesopotamia in 1700) that I'm having problem with. I know geography kind of well, and in my opinion I do control all three regions, as you may see on theese in-game pictures...
Do you know what is the problem? Do they consider the whole middle-east region as Mesopotamia? Or do i have to control the Adriatic Sea? Or something else- I think I'm doing kind of good job with Turkey and I was disapointed when I was saw that goal was not fulfilled, although I thought I've done my job right...

Here is a map I found showing all the precise areas for the UHVs.
Comparing the map with yours, all I can see is that, in your second screenshot, it looks like you need the two Arabian tiles to the west of Ad Dammam under your control for Mesopotamia. Absurdly trivial, but there you go.

It's cities, not tiles, that you need. Check the map again.

You're right, I didn't know the exact victory conditions. Looking at the map again though, I now can't see any reason that the victory condition wasn't acheived. Anyone else?

I don't know if Istanbul counts towards the Black Sea goal or not. If not, that's your problem: you only have two other cities in that area.

I had this problem with Turkey the first time. You need another city in Mesopotamia. Diagnol between the two cities with population 12 (can't read names). The city will be semi-garbage and a drain, but will get you the territory UHV. Istanbul does count toward both the Black Sea and Balkans goal.

there's definitely something wrong here. I see 4 cities in Mesopotamia, 4 in the Balkans and 3 around the Black Sea. You could file a bug report in the RFC subforum.

 

[Pacifist46]

Weird. I'd be tempted to believe Ataxerxes, although it does seem like a glitch of sorts.

Juju Lautre is right about the Black Sea condition. My Turkey UHV was with a previous version. However, I'm not sure if the two cities at the northern borders of Mesopotamia are being counted as Mesopotamia. You're right, if that is the case, it is somewhat odd.
