Yeah. I think almost every city is a mixture of different landmarks from their area. Even parts of Jangan are probably taken from the Forbidden City.

i dont know if anyone said this as i dont have time to read all the reply's but sro is biased on the history of real silkroad..

[Mid08]

at least u could've switched to high settings while u make the ss so it wouldn't look like puke

at least u cud have made a constructive post so that it didnt look like puke

anyways very interesting topic i must say. its cool 2 see the simmilarities

[Qosta420]

pretty cool topic. Im not exactly sure if hotan was modeled after the taj mahal i think joymax took creative initative on hotan because no one knows what anchient hotan looks like. what ever it did (at around 800AD) which is when sro takes place was prior to it conquering by muslim armies which destroyed and rebuilt the city.

Yeah. I think almost every city is a mixture of different landmarks from their area. Even parts of Jangan are probably taken from the Forbidden City.

Constantinople like most roman cities had a colosseum like arena where gladiatorial and other events were held. and Jangan is not the forbiden city. the forrbiden city is located in Bejing (or Peking) while Jangan is based of the chinese capital Chan'ang

It's in Jangan where you register for FW =)
