It appears, that they haven't been founded yet. Also, this is the perspective of the NPC (grey), things out of its sight are not recorded on the map.
If a player decides to found a village in italy, of course it will be called Rome. And in northern Africa there's of course Carthage. There are about 100 city names in the system, all cities founded in other territory or in a regio of which the city is already in existance, it will generate a random name. And technically the server can even handle up to 200 cities. But as I said, this here world has only been running for a few days, much more villages are to be founded and there are no major cities yet.
Thanks, I'll change Dubvronik
The map costed me ALOT of trouble, to get all the data transferred through the server efficiently, but also because it has to look natural, so things like names that shouldn't overlap seem obvious, but I had to write rules for that as well. I draw the background picture, but everything else is calculated by the game. It is now generated in just a few seconds from the player's request
The map looks a bit sober now, but when I'm launching it with actual players it will end up brightly coloured with many different territories
