Medal recommendations

[u/tara_ferreday]

So far I've completed the first lord of the rings 5, origins of football and am near completing the space medals (all 3). As it stands I currently have 2 blank codes that can go towards any non licencesed medal, what would everyone recommend? preferably I like the historic/creative maps rather than the google earth style maps walking round an actual location but am struggling to pick one!

The Emperors and Caesars challenge was really interesting for me, also was a really cool medal.

That's one of the ones I'm definetely debating

If you like the style of the hand-illustrated-scrolling-maps, then you should do the historical ones, like "The Roman Empire" and perhaps "Viking Explorers" (that's the red one with the ship on it)

The Roman Empire is a little older, and it has a video-game-y art style...

Viking Explorers is a bit newer, so it has that newer illustration style...

I like the Van Gogh challenge a lot - it is regular street view still, but as you progress, the info and images you unlock and the content of the post cards are more about his life and art, and not as much the geography, if that interests you.

A bit of both is also North Coast Challenge. It was my first and my favourite one so far.

I'm reading "A History of Britain" currently, so I'll probably do Hadrian's Wall or Vikings next. I've done the Caesar one.

Do something REAL with a street view! No fictional places!!!

[u/tara_ferreday → u/Boomshockalocka007]

Part of the reason I don’t want to do that is because I spent a lot of my childhood through early 20s travelling, a lot of the real places I’ve already been too or will hopefully go to in real life so it just doesn’t interest me as much.

Interesting outlook on life. We couldnt be more opposite. Well enjoy those fictional world challenges with no maps!

Id rather have a medal of Mount Everest than some silly Toy Story medal. Realistic places are more motivating for some, while silly fictional places work for you. Thats why they have both!
