Problems with opening a base

Visair · **on:** November 05, 2007, 08:12:18 pm

I have rented 4 gates from the airport I want to start my base, but when I go to the new base screen there are no options for me to select. I am based in North America and my new base is in Mexico, so I don't know what the problem is.

Thanks

Mexico is considered as Central America, You cant open a base in a different region

Wow, thats messed up. I learned in 3rd grade that Mexico was in North America. I could understand excluding Central America, but Mexico :?:

I think that the game creators divided the game by region, We cant really say that is is divided by continents because then Middle East should be PArt of Asia, whereas here in the game its detached from the rest of asia.
so practically the game is divided in

Africa
Antartica
Asia
Australia
Europe
Middle East
Central America
North America
South America

Dividing the world in 9 regions.Mexico geographically is more on the center, so i guess that the developers decided to put it as Central rather than north, Sorry mate but you better return the unused gates.
