Please consider Bordeaux, France.

I know that there are loads of European cities and many are close to each other but there is a large space in western France.

Co-ordinates: 44 50 N ; 0 35 W (Google Earth)

Population: 229,500 (2004 est. wikipedia) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bordeaux#Demographics

Actually I missed Bordeaux.

Be on the lookout for;
Nantes - 711,120
and Toulouse - 1,100,000

and Valencia, Spain - 1,400,000
Seville, Spain - 1,594,081
Zaragosa, Spain - 656,922
Bilbao, Spain - 947,000
and Coruna, Spain - 388,692

I've been looking at West Europe, don't worry. (Especially after my post on Capital City Taxes).

And also now - Bourdeaux, France - 925,253

I'm very happy to have them all there - but I'm biased!
Based in Corsica and holding on to Barcelona (though don't know how long) they are nice and easy to get to.

But I think you have a point - it will get very crowded - maybe one in Northern Spain and one in Western France.

But, hey! You're the experts - I'm just a newbie!

btw - if you add them, how long would that take? Not hassling, I know you'll be busy, I'm just interested.

Uh oh, mod war!

These cities are well spaced apart and represent a hole currently in Europe.

These are the coordinates, type them in, keep the placemarks ticked and check the spacing.

Nantes 47.23 -1.57
Toulouse 43.62 1.45
Bordeaux 44.84 -0.58
Valencia 39.48 -0.39
Seville 37.4 -5.98
Zaragosa 41.65 -0.89
Bilbao 43.25 -2.93
Coruna 43.35 -8.41

But of course it's your call.

C'mon guys - just give us Bordeaux and Bilbao for now and discuss the rest later - you know you want to really ;) and we don't want a major mod war kicking off!

Just make sure there is at least 15 minutes between every city then.
