If you had to pick *only* ten unique cities for MTW:

[dearmad]

Which cities in MTW2 (10 maximum) do you think should be modelled as unique cities... the others being randomized or whatever for the game. My picks:

Rome
Venice
Byzantium/Constantinople
Alexandria
Jerusalem
Paris (Maybe Orleans though)
London
Prague
Kiev
Buda-Pest



Agh! I limited myself to only 10 so many more I'd like to see, but my bet is if we're LUCKY there will be 10 cities unique inthegame, but more likely only 5... I left of any cities in Spain...Germany (important! HRE!)...Swabia, North Africa, the Asia Minor... RHODES... grr... Cyprus... the Netherlands...) only 10 cities HURTS!

Ok, you try next- what do you agree/disagree with and what are your choices?

[Xiaodun]

I mostly agree with you mate, but I would rather kick off Kiev for Bagdad. I haven't heard of a limit before, but Im sure the modders can do something about it

[Atheist Peace]

I don't think it's that there would be a limit. I think it's that CA wouldn't take the time to put more than a few unique cities in, I'm sure it's very time consuming. Have they even said they're considering doing any unique cities though? I haven't heard that.

[Ahiga]

Nice idea for a topic! I would choose those most likely to be heavily fought over:

Jerusalem
Constantinople
Damascus
Antioch
Alexandria

Since I only really know of Crusader Era history, that's all I could say for certain.

[dearmad]

Heh... IF there's a way to mod in unique cities you can BET EVERY city will eventually be MODDED to be unique in the game... do you HEAR ME CA?! Make some unique cities to earn your paychecks... but make DARN SURE you keep it possible to mod in our own city maps. We'll do the work! (And we'll do it better anyway).

[Kscott]

I'd rather have Novgorod than Kiev. Its walls are just so breathtaking.

Id prolly add Florence too. Possibly one of the most influential cities in the late Medieval era.

[dearmad]

If you add Firenza you must remove one... which one?

[Kscott]

Buda-Pest or maybe London. Not sure either were terribly important at this time.

[Eric]

Venice
Rome
Constantinople
Jerusalem
Antioch
London
Orleans
Prague
Damascus
Alexandria


And those are my choices.

[Ewan]

im hopin CA doesnt make this hard coded and allows thing to be alot more easily modable then in ROME

[King Henry V]

No way will CA do a model of Venice, that is just pure fantasy. Firstly they would have to make Venice an island city, which would be very difficult and pratically impossible to have it invaded (unless they bring in an amphibious assault feature, which would be unlikely) and secondly because it would take a phenomenal amount of work to build a city with so many canals, which would also render assaults extremely difficult.

[JANOSIK007]

Paris
London
Constantinople
Antioch
Prague
Kiev
Novgorod
Venice?
Florence
Cordoba

BTW, where do you get the info that there will be unique towns?

[therussian]

Constantinople first and foremost
Venice
Antioch (think of the walls)
Jerusalem
Rome
Kiev
Novgorod
London
Paris

And the last one goes to...........................................................................probably either Cordoba or Granada

[Boudicca]

Tenochtitlan. It must have been beautiful.

[Estonianzulu]

Tenochtitlan. It must have been beautiful.

I like this pick. That city was so complex, and so unique compared to the cities of Europe. I think it would be a great choice.

My picks:
For the Crusades-

Jerusalem
Antioch
Alexandria
Constantinople
Baghdad

For the Early-Middle Period
Rome
Prague
Novgorod
Granada
Krakow

For the Late Period
Vienna
London
Tenochtitlan
Budapest
Paris

~~
A list of ten
Jerusalem
Antioch
Constantinople
Rome
Paris
Prague
Vienna
London
Tenochtitlan
Novgorod

~~~~

List of Five
Jerusalem
Constantinople
Rome
Tenochtitlan
Paris

~~
I chose the five based of uniqueness and importance. Jerusalem is a must, with its key role in the crusades and its amazing structure. Constantinople, for the same reasons. Think about seeing the mighty defenses, and the split-city over the bosporous.

Rome- mostly because I want to see a unique Rome with all the architecture. Same goes for Tenochtitlan. And Paris to round out the list, not because I would want to see it (I'd rather put Prague or Novgorod, heck even Krakow for its importance in the history of Eastern Europe) but because everyone loves the city and they would make it unique.

[dearmad]

Tenochtitlan. It must have been beautiful.

AGH! I forgot this one! You are so right! I'd remove London for this one from my list!

[Last Roman]

1. Constantinople
2. Rome
3. Paris
4. London
5. Kiev
6. Damascus
7. Jerusalem
8. Tenochitlan
9. Buda-Pest
10.Cordoba

[suckah]

Rome
Jerusalem
Baghdad
Constantinople
Cairo (?)
Paris (?)
Kiev
Venice
Milan
Cordoba

[Hansa]

Hard to pick 10 cities, but Constantinople must be in.

10 cities/towns not mentioned here this far

Valetta
Brugge
Toledo
Aleppo
Bergen
York
Avignon
Uppsala
Lisbon
Konigsberg

Not necessarily the most important, but interesting indeed. Just stating that there are alot if interesting cities all over Europe. CA should atleast have 1 uniqe city per culture. Cities in the chatolic and ortodox world should be divided into northern and southern culture.

[John I Tzimisces]

Hmmm.

1. Constantinople.
2. Rome.
3. Ani.
4. Antioch.
5. Jerusalem.
6. Tyre.
7. Acre.
8. London.
9. Paris.
10. Granada.

There you have it folks.
