a) Ahoj!
b) OGF není hra. Je to platforma určená pro lidi, které baví geofikce - detailní a zejména realistické tvoření smyšlených míst. Postupy ze Sim City nebo Cities Skylines tady většinou nefungují, protože hlavním cílem OGF je vytvářet přirozeně vypadající místa. OGF je založeno na principech Openstreetmap.
c) Kreslení map je časově náročný koníček. Jsem tady už skoro dva roky, ale moje země je přesto zatím z většiny prázdná. Rozhodně pomáhá používat jiný editor, než to příšerné prohlížečové iD, viz tady.

/English/ a) Hi!
b) OGF is not a game. It is a platform for people, who like geofiction - making detailed and most importantly realistic fictional places. Techniques from Sim City or Cities Skylines usually don’t work here, because the main goal of OGF is to create naturally looking places. OGF is based on the Openstreetmap platform.
c) Drawing maps is a time-consuming hobby. I’ve been here for almost two years, but my country is still mostly empty. It definitely helps to use a different editor than the in-browser iD, see here.

I still use iD because it’s easier to get to and I kind of prefer that kind of controls. I always use left click to move, using right click is a task to do.

Well, id recommend using JOSM, since you can create auto-grids (See some argentinan places for reference)

I use JOSM, and I draw my own cities by hand.
I agree what @elkas said, OpenGeofiction is not a game. It is a platform for people who likes mapping and geofiction, focusing on making detailed and realistic fictional places, and is based on the OpenStreetMap platform.
It takes time to draw a city on OpenGeofiction, and drawing maps is a time-consuming hobby. I’ve been here for more than three years, but most areas in my country remains empty. I would also recommend using JOSM for editing on OpenGeofiction.
