Thanks to the anonymous person who spotlighted this and also everyone else for the comments. This quiz was made five years ago and I can understand why many find it flawed. I'll take this as an opportunity to gather feedback and change it for the better. I hope to update it in the near future, so keep giving me any input you may have!

Too many, too close together. Would be more fun/actually possible to answer if this was done by region, with a more zoomed-in map.

*I know you can zoom, but it's not intuitive necessarily and detracts from the quiz.

It would be nice if there were hints or descriptions of the battles. It is hard to know which battles you are looking for, especially in areas that had lots of battles

Nice effort but would've been better with a bigger geographic spread.

I think the Battle of the River Plate would be a good addition

In the Near East you can choose from Alexander's battles and the Crusades. In East Europe the are lots, but I don't know if that counts as spreading. Same for Roman battles, but there should be at least one. If you want to add one in Latin America I'd say Ayacucho.

Unbelievable that there is not at least one battle of the ancient Rome, literally no sense.

And you could accept "Battle of the Channel" for Gravelines, in a lot of countries is kown that way.

quiz is partially hidden behind sidebar menu.

Also quite a poor selection of battles. 2/3 of all answers are from just 4 different wars and like 1/3 are all in NE France or Belgium.

I suggest you to add Eastern European battles - Borodino, the siege of Leningrad, Moscow, Kursk, Kiev, Poltava, Warsaw, BERLIN(bro, that's so obvious, how did you miss it?). The USSR played a huge role in victory, yet you've decided to add some overrated battles in the Pacific Ocean. That's really not fair for 27 millions Soviet citizens that died in this terrific war.

I also suggest you to add some battles in Asia to balance this US and Western European-defaultism quiz.(Literally 22 battles out of 27 are like that). For instance Nanjing, Beijing, Shanghai, Singapore, Constantinople, Baghdad, Damascus... many more and at least one battle in South Asia and Latin America.

You could try adding some modern battles but I'll understand if you're not willing to do it.

The quiz itself has no issues. The only thing that comes to mind it is more western centric like being mostly about the US and western Europe and there could've been more spread out in the world.
