I see Hull finally makes it to the list of English cities!

[Provost Harrison]

Hurrah! But how the hell is it below places such as Blackpool, Mumbles(?!), Ipswich, Berwick, etc...

Well at least it is there for a change...I think I have been through this for every Civ so far...and I am also surprised that Manchester is so far down the list.

Just my rant.

[Asher]

Scraping the barrel.

Why would they put a Quebec city in as an English one?

[ColdPhoenix]

They seem to rank the cities in order of historical significance rather than size. Seems fair to me.

Given that Hull's main claim to fame was getting badly bombed during the blitz I vote we remove it from the list.

[Napoleón II]

If it's historical significance they're after, the top5 should be London, York, Oxford, Cambridge, and Lancaster.

ENGLAND LONDON

[Provost Harrison]

Yes I know.

And Hull does have historical significance. Certainly far more than many cities that are further up that list. Perhaps do some reading up?

[YC4B4U]

There is a city / town called Mumbles???

[Dinner]

Do the people mumble?

[Snotty]

Colchester is 6th from bottom and has significant historical relevance as it is the oldest recorded town in Britain and served as the Roman capital of Britain.

Why should Hull be higher on the list than that?

[wodan11]

Historical significance / relevance isn't the only criteria.

[Myrddin]

There is a city / town called Mumbles???

Sort of, but it's not in England.

[Zoetstofzoetje]

I don't think Blackpool should be on any map. It would be better just to forget it. The world already has a Las Vegas, and that one, incredibly, is less tacky.

Why should Hull be higher on the list than that?

Being many times the size of Colchester and being a very prominent port throughout the industrial era until the present and also being a major medieval city and port. Or something

Actually I think you can get a ferry from Hull to your username

But Blackpool is just, yuck. I've only ever seen it in daylight once...not a pretty sight, very grotty...better to see it in the dark with the illuminations on. But the only historical significance is its rock, lousy Eiffel Tower homage and beaches so polluted and radioactive that if you walk on there with two legs, you'll walk off with three.

By the time we get to Civ 85 maybe Erith will make an appearance.
