amazing game. i think the biggest "problem" (cause making this game is genius) is that we can't not zoom OUT. to REALLY enjoy the world travel. the zoom in is too close.
Have you seen the map mode (press M)? For me that helps a lot to orient, to the point where I consider it cheat mode (but I'm also pretty good with geography, so I feel like I should know at least all countries if not the cities)
