Neolithic Europe 2: More Specific - Game Information

Oh, I see - it's one of those floating legends which you split into pieces. I saw that on one of your other games, where it was more obvious what you had done, with more such boxes all around the perimeter. Rather unconventional, but it works. I'm surprised I didn't see the color connection on this one, but without lines around the boxes, I inferred it as an indistinct reference to the area nearby, rather than a legend style explanation of that color.

Slaaty:

It isn't reversed or counter-intuitive.

Instead, beacause the Western Linear culture is geographically disjunct (like the Western Native, Hybrid Balconic and Printed-Cardium cultures), I represented it witha colored box rather than choosing one of the actual areas.

I probably should've placed that box to the North of the area rather than the East, but the East was less crowded. (Too late to change that now, but if I had it to do over again, I'd do it differently).

But if you look at the map again, you'll see that the "Eastern" culture is really more central, surrounded both East and West by the "Western".

Well, maybe the reality IS counter-intuitive, but just a bit...

Thanks for the comment.

Are the dots for eastern linear pottery and western linear pottery reversed, or are they anti-intuitive?
