NEED PUZZLE

also I have thought about the "rotate / skew" option - like when I was failing miserably at finding thessaloniki - and it would just be cruel
I had a hunch Göteborg would be easy for some people but I went with it anyway because frankly solving these is way more fun than watching people guess

OK while looking, I google mapped "Mountain Home AFB" and wow that looks like somebody was playing Go with farms and then dropped an airfield in the middle of the board

Golf course in northeast says USA but keep reading.
Circular bunker (?) arrangements argue for a military airfield but I just looked at basically every USAF base I can think of and didn't see one that looked exactly like that. On the other hand lack of a half-dozen big gray cargo jets just thinkin baout things argues against. Also, no golf ball antennae or fighters.
Also, looking more closely at the upper right, there's these big green ovals that look frighteningly like cricket fields, and I don't see any baseball diamonds. Shit.

i'm starting my search in australia for this one, already found some similar looking things

Not Netherlands.

The river, the road, and the red roofs all make me think of Italy?

very straight canals and flat land makes me think belgium but I haven't found it

it's Aveiro in Portugal. (found by googling "circlar pedestrian bridge"!)

Indeed! The salt marsh landscape does give it a Low Country look from above, though.

idk this isn't my game but i would've thought you'd want a bar on this of minimum size or distinction that that little town in portugal doesn't meet

England?

It has to be Europe. France?

I've just been googling English cathedrals with little success, so glad to see that that was a total waste of time.

Ha, I was googling "roundabout bridge".

sorry, I guess I thought Aveiro was a bigger deal! it's a significant university town and moderate tourist attraction, i dunno man.
― Doctor Casino, Sunday, 29 November 2015 21:01 (eight years ago) link
Big enough to have a pedestrian roundabout bridge, I ain't knockin' ya, C.

Current one is such a wonky patchwork of elements. Having a hard time picturing any of these spaces relating to any of the others. That's not so unusual but it sort of is in towns with what look like old-timey cathedrals and squares, and that huge, oddly-shaped green that nothing else seems to really take seriously.

That looks like (half) a rugby pitch three quarters to the right at the top. Is it somewhere in the British Isles that isn't England?
― AlanSmithee, Monday, 30 November 2015 07:36 (eight years ago) link
yes indeed it is british isles

Armagh!

It is, I just found it as well!

I have nothing so go ahead and post one if you have
― moans and feedback (Dinsdale), Monday, 30 November 2015 12:57 (eight years ago) link
well done! is there any chance we could restrict this to actual cities? finding provincial towns is fiendishly difficult. armagh has less than 15k ppl, there are bigger villages !
― ogmor, Monday, 30 November 2015 12:58 (eight years ago) link
Armagh is an actual city.

I'd finished doing cities in Wales and was just moving round the ones in NI (I knew it wasn't in Scotland)
I just went by the list of Irish cathedrals on wikipedia

xps the trick is finding somewhere difficult but not TOO difficult and I guess being solved in 24 hours with a couple of nudges feels about right?
― thomasintrouble, Monday, 30 November 2015 13:14 (eight years ago) link
man not only does it have city status but there are three smaller cities in the uk. carry on then
― ogmor, Monday, 30 November 2015 13:27 (eight years ago) link
imo sticking to 100,000+ population is best unless it has some unique identifying characteristic
