[OSM-talk] MasterCity: Play with OpenStreetMap

[Svavar Kjarrval]

Ahhh, place=city nodes. There was a time where we deleted the only
place=city node and converted it into an border area with place=city (as
per the one element per feature rule). We put the node back when we
discovered some software can't handle the area definition. And now I
discovered that the place=city node didn't have a name attached. Fixed now.

The funny thing is that there is only one city in Iceland which wouldn't
make for a challenging game if one picked Iceland as the nation. The
same might go for other small countries. You should consider, when there
is a low number of cities in any country, to extract the towns as well
and use them if one picks said country as a nation. The locals would
find that more useful.

I like the concept of the game and I hope I can promote it in Iceland
when this issue has been fixed. :)
