Thread: Where is the real nogova?

  1. #1
    The island is fictional so dont waste your time with the maps

    Closest one I could find was the Island Limnos near Greece. Still not a perfect match...

    I don't know: An almost square island with deserts, mountains, large plains and a mysterious river running through the middle...hmmm. Nogova may be pretty, but it seems a little bit too odd looking to be geologically feasible. Of course I could be wrong.

    The islands shape is most likely based on a real island, just like the original 3. The terrain isn&#39;t.

    Eyes wide shut.

    I think BIS did a more accurate rendition of a real existing island.

    It looks much like a pirate&#39;s secret treasure map in some book I&#39;ve read when I was a kid

    anyway, I&#39;d like to name the small island southwest of Nogova "Sunglass" island.

    looks like one.
