Hello everyone!

I present to you the new format of the 'Country Quiz on a Map' series, now with France. New countries, as well as updates, should be coming soon in the series.

I made primarily two modifications:

- A more 'mappish' map (new colors, display of mountain/river names).

- The display of hints directly on the image. Indeed, it has always been a bit tricky to switch between questions and the map, and this should solve the problem (unfortunately, due to space constraints, some hints are more detailed in the usual hint boxes).

I hope you'll enjoy this new version, good luck!

Excellent! I love it. The map is very original and beautiful, and the informations interesting. I'm personally French, so I got all of them, although Agincourt was very difficult for me.

Nominated, because it deserves a lot more!

P.S.: Most of the answers are accepted in French, so maybe accept Léonard de Vinci? But it's just a detail, it's excellent!

Hey Baptiste, I'm French too :)

Merci pour les compliments, ça fait plaisir après avoir passé pas mal de temps à faire les quiz.

Pour les réponses en français, il me semble que De Vinci fonctionne. J'utilise surtout les types-in automatiques de Jetpunk, qui du coup traduit surtout dans la langue d'origine. Ici l'italien de par la provenance de celui-ci :) Le problème, c'est si je commence à tout traduire, ça va à la limite passer pour la France, mais ça risque de devenir bien plus compliqué pour l'Allemagne ou la Russie !

Great quiz, with a very rich map.

Anyway: Congrat for this awesome map. Nominated for sure!

I don't think the Milau Viaduct is the highest bridge in the world, at least not any more.
tom4

Level 63
May 15, 2023
Going off Wikipedia, it appears the Millau Viaduct is the 'tallest' bridge in the world, but not the 'highest'. Tallest relates to structural distance, whereas highest tends to relate to maximum vertical distance between bridge and ground (bridges over gorges are therefore much higher). Might be worth updating the question to be more accurate, although maybe I am being overly picky!

Ahah, I would like to, but creating these maps is incredibly time-consuming. I have a few countries in mind (Greece, India...), in addition to the planned redesigns. For the smaller or less known countries, I'm thinking of a slightly different format, including several countries from the same region (for example, the Nordic countries or the Levant).
