Dude, they're screenshots from Total War. What do you expect?

To have Rome not located in a wasteland and Alexandria to have its iconic lighthouse be correctly depicted.

Man am I glad I'm not russian.

Close but pic related just edges it

I'd rather live in Herculaneum tbphwyf.

...

What was the point of paving literally everything? They could have had nice parks in the middle of those commieblox.

Parks for (-30) winters can only have grass.

capital of the world coming through.....

Statements like these are why people hate your country

It's factually true though.

The closest other contenders are London and Paris.

cmon man we were all having such a good time talking about historical cities. not modern era stuff.

besides New York is comparable to the slums of Baghdad. truly disgusting city.

fuck new york LA is better

1900's europe is based

I think it's a Harvard/Yale thing where they're constantly neck and neck for number one and every so often they give it to Princeton or MIT to make them feel better.

>2014

caliphate of londonstan ain't the capital of shit after brexit

Jerusalem?
very awesome city with huge importance during much of the ancient world and middle ages.

>idk, bias because I'm a crusader buff
>agree disagree?

it was a beautiful city when it was lush and for a long time was a stronghold.

major trading port.

religious importance!

these niggers ran the water, why would they be afraid of boats?

>tfw you will never be able to spend a day in Ancient Rome, eating lentil takeout, checking out the gladiatorial schools, watching chariot races, reading inscriptions dating back to the city's founding, listening to speakers in the forum and finish it up by listening to Nero recite his poetry in an amphitheater for three hours

you'd miss the internet pretty fast I bet

they're both shit.

And the iPhones!

and omg the food

Baghdad

Needs more american airtrikes for a commibloc makeover.

Famalam, they're video games, not art pieces (Though some may argue otherwise).

eastern looking buildings have a nice contrast with fertile areas

Total War, not sure which one though

That's not pavement, it's soil. There just grows no grass there due to climate and the pollution doesn't help either.
>The list cites air pollution by particulates (including radioisotopes strontium-90, and caesium-137 and metals nickel, copper, cobalt, lead and selenium) and by gases (such as nitrogen and carbon oxides, sulfur dioxide, phenols and hydrogen sulfide). The Institute estimates four million tons of cadmium, copper, lead, nickel, arsenic, selenium and zinc are released into the air every year.
>Heavy metal pollution near Norilsk is so severe that mining the surface soil is now economically feasible due to the soil acquiring such high concentrations of platinum and palladium.
