Question

[Mr. Cotton]

When yuo lokk at some screenshots. You see that: <a href="http://www.tothegame.com/sshotfeat.asp?screen=3053&pic=9" target="_blank">http://www.tothegame.com/sshotfeat.asp?screen=3053&pic=9</a>

What is that in the game?

And one more question: How much cities are there in the game?

Well, that screenshot presents the land battles that you go through in order to sack a city or even overthrow their governor (if you render them weak enough).

As to the number of cities, it depends on the "age" that you decide to play, but in the later ages (latter part of the 17th century) there are about 40-45 cities in the game (a quick count only from the paper map).

 

[Mr. Cotton]

Much more than I thought.

Check the game map here:

You can see all the cities/towns that are in the game in that one. In addition, there are some random settlements etc. that you can visit.
