ProjectGemini Posted April 6, 2016 Report Share Posted April 6, 2016 (edited) This is wrong. Warning: I'm very passionate about my geography. There's an actual city called Kavala, marked here: Then there's the actual in-game Kavala, Myrina, shown here: The devs originally did just call the island Limnos. After some devs got arrested in Greece, they suddenly changed their mind, and said, "No guys it's totally fictional!" This is why we have a bunch of actual guns and vehicles renamed to stupid bullshit. For example: Katiba 6.5: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KH-2002 Slammer MBT: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merkava Hunter MRAP: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oshkosh_M-ATV In the case of Altis, it seems like they just looked at Google maps and renamed cities to some nearby cities. If you zoom in on the island itself, you'll find that a bunch of the city/town names were just scrambled around. For Kavala, there's a sea route that links the real Kavala and Myrina. One can only assume they saw that marked on Google maps and just chose the name. Here's some pictures of Myrina: Hospital: What would be Kavala square: Canal, the soccer field thing in game, construction site, bridge, etc: View from castle: Edited April 6, 2016 by ProjectGemini IndianapolisJones, Bersabee, Martin Hofacker and 4 others like this Link to comment

Chernarus from Arma 2 is based on the area around Povrly, Czech Republic. https://www.google.com/maps/place/Povrly,+Czech+Republic/@50.67427,14.1530619,15z/data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x47099d7f9b17aa27:0x9287f2912204170b!6m1!1e1 Here's Elektrozavodsk, Sniper hill being on the left. Yeah they're all just modeled off of real life places. They use different names, presumably because it gives them some wiggle room with the exact placement of a city or the number of houses/size in a town. Or, in the case of Altis, not getting their devs arrested.. Edited April 7, 2016 by ProjectGemini Worded poorly, and an extra sentence that made no sense :( Link to comment
