Where is Takistan?

Honestly, the way the maps are figured is really believable. I mean, the way the forest mountains and desert mountains can be very close together and still very in temp/weather.

I mean, I live in Arizona. Everyone goes 'It's nothing but a desert!' and 'Its all hot the time'. But travel 80 miles north from Phoenix and your in mountains with a nice chill factor. Sahrani was believable in the way it migrated from Desert, to hilly shrubs, to bigger trees in the mountains. I mean it was extreme but it's not far fetched.

And thats roughly 130 miles as the crow flies. So I wouldn't think it's too 'Crazy' to believe that the two countries could be next to each other if they were real :P

Buuut on topic. I'd have to say 'I can't figure it out'. But I'd have too agree, Caspian Sea area looks likely. Though if the Green Sea area is the Caspian sea in Real Life... wonder who they had make the US Navy Fleet in the Armaverse that patrols those waters! :o No access to the open ocean! (Hehe, I've always pondered that hehe)

Where is Takistan? Probably in central Asia around an old soviet republic and possibly somewhere around or North of Iran, looking at the helmets and gear the Taki army wears, But no where near ARMA 2 took place.

Take a look at these helmets of the azerbaijan Army(Country north of Iran)

So What I'm saying is I think Takistan is a mix of Tajikistan,Uzbekistan,Azeribajan,Afghanistan,Iran and Armenia all rolled into one and one COMPLETE TAKISTAN And in a sense still somewhat friends with Russia.

And for this you had to dig up a thread almost two years old? Way to go!

Its 100km from me to the nearest city, and I gurantee you, it doesn't change from: dense forest and grasslands with a freezing climate all year round, to a frigin desert speaking a completely different language; with no cultural ties between the two.

Yes, maybe the world is a little "compressed", but so are the battles and the maps in the game (no one wants to travel hundreds of km before starting a mission)... In the real world, there are similiar circumstances: for example, the Republic of Dagestan and Azerbaijan: different climate, different language, different culture.

It was a joke :P

Australia's pretty crazy, you can go through multiple Biome's in just a few hundred km's here. :P

Edit: some what relevent, someone dug up some old soviet era maps and we ended up matching some areas to Arma, Everon, Maldon, obviously some soviet era limnos and the surrounding islands (looking for something resembeling Stratus)
