Since the war some have suffered the effects of the town planning and sprawl in an attempt to house a growing population, whereby more modern houses, usually without much sympathetic consideration, have been tacked on to the edge of their old medieval counterparts.
Unfortunately this is more akin to what you see of the towns and villages in this game.

I should declare that I'm a fully paid up member of the Oleg for President movement and I bristle at what I consider to be "nitpicking".
But...! Yes, the towns aren't quite there yet. I still think it looks amazing, but I take the point. My own thinking is that the problem is the roofs of the houses. They should mostly be a nice dark slate colour, almost black, which, I think would darken much of the landscape and I think make the towns and villages appear denser. I would hope that 3rd parties or modders (cough, cough-Cannon-cough) will rapidly be proposing tweaks as the sim evolves.
When people decry the shade of green of the grass, or the now legendary hood fasteners, I think they're missing the big picture, that CloD is really just the framework - the skeleton (choose your own metaphor).
I was thrilled that BOB was going to be the first theatre to be addressed by Oleg, but I suspect that by the time we get to Berlin or Crimea, etc, in a few years' time, poor old BOB will be looking very basic indeed.
