Turkestan/Turkmenistan (100 player mode)

3 Jul 2018, 08:14

I am not sure if this is relevant for the other modes, but I did notice this in the 100 player mode (World at War).

The country that ingame is called Turkestan is actually called Turkmenistan.

Turkestan: Map of Turkestan with modern state borders. The area covers a large number of countries including: Russia (Tatarstan and parts of Siberia), Mongolia, the Chinese autonomous province of Xinjiang(also known as East Turkestan or Chinese Turkestan), Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, and parts of Afghanistan. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turkestan)

Turkmenistan's location: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turkmenistan#/media/File:Turkmenistan_on_the_globe_(Eurasia_centered).svg .

As you can see from the map and from the explanation of Turkestan, the country ingame is Turkmenistan, not Turkestan.

Best regards,

As the area represented by Turkestan on the 100 player map encompasses the modern countries of Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, and Tajikistan I believe the name Turkestan is a good compromise, rather than choose one of those three.

Or there is an alternative of (maybe? ) getting more cities/provinces of Turkmenistan and then Tajikistan and Uzbekistan as ai-s?

Also, on a sidenote, could what is in 100 player mode called Lithuania be renamed to the Baltic States? Like that is an actual term used for those three countries together...
