    Question An alternative name for Civ4?

    In the process of creating another thread in this forum, an idea went through my head. I thought of an alternative name for Civ4! Instead of calling it Civilization IV, why not call it 'Ultimate Civilization'. I think the name sounds very majestic and awesome and would make Civ4 stand out from all the rest! What do you think?

    "And there will be strange events in the skies--signs in the sun, moon, and stars. And down here on earth the nations will be in turmoil, perplexed by the roaring seas and strange tides. The courage of many people will falter because of the fearful fate they see coming upon the earth, because the stability of the very heavens will be broken up. Then everyone will see the Son of Man arrive on the clouds with power and great glory. So when all these things begin to happen, stand straight and look up, for your salvation is near!" --Luke 21:25-28
    For the Lord himself will come down from heaven with a commanding shout, with the call of the archangel, and with the trumpet call of God. First, all the Christians who have died will rise from their graves. Then, together with them, we who are still alive and remain on the earth will be caught up in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air and remain with him forever. --1 Thessalonians 4:16-17

    "Sid Meier's Militarization"

    I would hopefully be able to called it 'Better than Civ3'

    May be we can chose between choice like:
    "This Time Not Rushed Civilization"
    "Sim Civ, from the designer better know for his Sim Golf serie"
    "A massive multiplayer Civ as you never saw since... well, as you never saw"
    "Civ IV public beta"
    "RoN - Rise of civilizatioN"
    "Civ four the Cashcow"
    "X-Civ for X-Box (X-rated with nude Cleopatra, Elizabeth, Joanne D'Arc - parental locking available)"
    "CivilizApolyton" - already mentioned above with different words
    "UnCivilization" - a prequel to the Civilization serie
    "Oh, no! More Civilization" - with forced automated workers as smart as Lemmings wandering around brainless
    "Another Civ 4 You"

    Ok, more pun than enough, I suppose (if any survive to my raw english).

    Just Kidding, Of Course
    Oh, I forgot mine preferred:
    "Civ IV? No thanks, I'm trying to quit"

    OK I look at some of the above suggestions and see some intersting abreviations:

    From Ixnai - Sid Meier's Ultimate Civilization - SMUC (what is this a sucky version of SMAC)

    From Thinker - EXTreme Civilization - EXTC (an addictive game that turns you into a drooling idiot, making whoopy with any Civ you make contact with)

    Course Ultimate Civilization! becomes UC! (Probably the sound most people will make)

    Course my own preference is:

    Sid Meier's Civ4
    Subtitled "With this release I can finally finish my throne room"
    "Just puttin on the foil" - Jeff Hanson

    “In a democracy, I realize you don’t need to talk to the top leader to know how the country feels. When I go to a dictatorship, I only have to talk to one person and that’s the dictator, because he speaks for all the people.” - Jimmy Carter
