Sorry, no... why did you come up with these countries? I just wonder ;)

1. You are the Brazil expert
2. You did a Brazil one before
3. The city looks like Parati a bit
4. The city is obviously colonial

Which brings me too South America and more particuliar Brazil

- yes, I did Brazil before, so I wouldn't make just another one again ;)
- Parati is indeed similar, but not functional! :)
- It is colonial... and your first guesses were somehow closer than your latter ones... just as a hint. Even though you don't need it - but maybe others :lol:

No correct country til now...

Ok, than I'll stick to Latin America which I thought it was from the beginning.


Acapulco, Havana, Colon.

I think Acapulco is very possible

It is indeed very possible, especially the landscape, but it's not, sorry :)

I never said it's in Mexico - I just said Acapulco is a very good guess (according to the landscape shown on the pic) and that you were right with a colonial city. No one got even the country yet and it's not even visible on your ENTIRE map ;)

Cool, that it's once even for Forza a hard guessing (I thought this one would be a tough one ;)) :cheers:

Ok, the building look somehow Portuguese or Spanish too me. Which means it can be South America but also Africa. The mountains are very strange


Malabo, Equatorial Guinea? Maputo, Mozambique? Luanda, Angola?

Küsel
January 20th, 2006, 12:44 PM
No, LA was okay - I said that your first guesses were closer than your second ones (Asia)... and PT/SP ex-colony is correct as well - Acapulco was really a good guess in that sence!

Hint: this very city doesn't exist anymore!!

That's Panama Viejo!!!! Forza strikes again!! - Who can stop him? :lol:

Acapulco: it's also on the west coast in this area and the lanscape on the pic reminded me also of it (more than Panama). But it's because in this time the painters tended to exagorate and even invent mountains to make the place look more romantic ;)

BTW: After Panama city got distroyed in the 17th century (I think ;)) The rebuild the city nearly 10 miles from the original location... that became today's Panama City.

Jay! Merian is very hard to google. There are no results if you search for 'Merian Panama' etc. in google. That makes it extra hard.

Thanks - I try to make another one next week. These two days I won't have time and yesterday I couldn't start up my iBook anymore - no idea what it is: like the start button doesn't affect anything - no sound, no ventilation, no light - nothing. :( Someone has an idea? HELP!
