Europe
Spain from the air
Flyover drops you over 5 cities in Spain — 1 the game rates easy, 3 standard, 1 expert. Each one below carries the tell the game uses: the single feature that separates it from everywhere else.
The 5 cities
- Barcelona Reads as: coast and blocks.
- Bilbao Reads as: river valley.
- Madrid Reads as: dry inland capital.
- Seville Reads as: river and old core.
- Valencia Reads as: dry river park.
Telling them apart
The hard part is rarely recognising that you are over Spain — it is working out which of its cities you are over. Start with water and terrain, because those do not move: a coastal city cannot be confused with an inland one, and a city in a basin reads differently from a city on a plain.
Then use relative size. The game rates Barcelona as easy, which usually means a landmark or a coastline you already know. The expert-rated ones — Bilbao — are hard precisely because they lack a single unmistakable feature, so you are reading grid texture and building height instead.
Easily confused with
Other Europe cities in the game, which share enough climate and building era to cost you a round.
