Where are you on Rhye's map?

[Joe Harker]

1 tile W of English starting position, with sheep!

 

[Zhuge_Liang]

Banana plantations in my country's place makes RFC a reality!

 

[Aeon221]

I'm in the only swamp tile on the East Coast: Atlanta.

(Rhye, Georgia isn't a swamp, it just has a lot of rednecks!) =D

Don't be silly, that's the Everglades. Because Florida is apparently the only state south of Virginia and east of the Mississippi...

Now, if we wanted cities that were actually built on swamps... Boston? (mostly, at this point. That and ocean).

 

[Riker]

I'm in north eastern spain, west of the mountain, on the hill north east of the horses

Oh, when did you move to Spain?
Are you in Aragon or Castilla y Leon?

 

[Riker]

I'm in Soria (Castilla y Leon), Universidad de Valladolid, since 29/9. Erasmus, until the end of February. At the moment I don't have internet at home, so I have to connect from the university.

 

[Rocko_el_loco]

I'm in the caribbean, 5 E and 1S of Havana. A jungle with spices?, Puerto Rico should be a hill with forests. heh heh, spices.

 

[genovais]

Same here, Atlanta.

 

[Zhuge_Liang]

rhye, favor. If you could change the plot of the present day northern philippines' mountain(the impassable) to be changed to a hill with rice. Well, we have rice terraces.

 

[Jeff1787]

16 west of America's starting location....

 

[Zharahk]

Originally from America's start position, but am currently living 6 tiles south of China's starting position. Where's the pandas?

 

[Theodorick]

I'm 1 NW, 3 N, of the oil resource in Cnada--where Alberta is, above Montana. It's a poor plot for a city!

 

[Theodorick]

Well, I believe I am about two squares south-east from Tyemen, it's marshes on the map. It's called Novosibirsk, by the way.
And I think it's good place to put my cares about Russian map and Russian civ in general.
1) Initial horsemen are of no real use and, I think, historically wrong. Yearly Russians used some sort of Galleys to invade Constantinopolys. Horses weren't important part of Russian military until much later.
2) A city called Belgorod-Dneprovsky is in fact Tyraspol. I am quite sure of this because it's Greek predecessor is evidently Tyras.
3) Historically, Russia had two main source of coal: Donbass (East Ucraine) and Kuzbass (south part of Western Siberia). Alas, RFS has none of them, but some strange source in between.
4) What gems in Northern Urals are for? Some of local threads says you can built Vorcuta near this, but it seems not right anymore. All tiles there are ice, tundra or marshes, nearest buildable tyle is four of five tyles off.
5) Close to previous... you should have a possibility to build a least a pair of Russian cities at shores of North-Arctical ocean. The are there, after all, and they are among reachest Russians cities for today.
6) What is Tara? I know it's in Civ for years, but I never heard of this IRL. You needn't this. You need a buildable place one or two tyles south of there, called Krasnoyarsk.
7) IRL, there are no horizontal rivers in Siberia. Real rivers are all vertical, flawing from Altay mountains to North-Arctical ocean.
8) For Mongols, Kazan' isn't in Eastern Siberia. It's European Russian, on Volga river (and it has oil, by the way).
Rhye, I'd be thankful if you could fix all this...

you have to realize rhye put down most of his resources based on modern mine/resource maps. due to this, resource locations which were historically very important, or more correct, yet are not mined today, are sort of ignored, save for a few locations. a few major examples of missing resources that were historically important are: oil in siberia, gold in burma, oil in the causasus--the entire causasus region is mysteriously just a bleak desert--and rice in the Philippines. rhye probably would do more research into all of this, but even I admit, it would be a tad exhausting.

 

[TheJopa]

Forest grassland tile 2 tiles west and one north from that mountain in Greece.
Dalmatia, Croatia.

 

[Will9]

I looked at the area where I live and decided the map was truly in need of help in the Eastern US.

 

[Greeneyedzombie]

I live just above the rijn, so on the map that would be amsterdam, although it isntt accurate.

 

[Depravo]

Three tiles north of England's starting position. No trees but plenty of coal.

 

[memdee]

Well, take a guess...correct! The tile Hamburg is on! Woah!

 

[GigaNerd]

According to the map.....

By the time I spawn on the map (latter half of the late 1900s), I'll be stuck on a peak , being constantly culture-flipped between Spain and France, with England trying to hang on with there puny 1 population city they managed to get on the map, with the Aztecs long gone, and America is threatening to declare war on all 3 civs. Not a very enjoyable prospect!

Just so you know, I'm in North America. No further details.
