Europe
United Kingdom from the air
Flyover drops you over 4 cities in United Kingdom — 1 the game rates easy, 1 standard, 2 expert. Each one below carries the tell the game uses: the single feature that separates it from everywhere else.
The 4 cities
- Edinburgh Reads as: castle ridge.
- Glasgow Reads as: clyde valley.
- London Reads as: river bend.
- Manchester Reads as: industrial core.
Telling them apart
The hard part is rarely recognising that you are over United Kingdom — 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 London as easy, which usually means a landmark or a coastline you already know. The expert-rated ones — Glasgow, Manchester — 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.
