So I'm playing against the Germans one game, and they've founded 13 or so cities. A settler plops his pack down near my borders. "New Berlin". Oh, they add a New afterwards. All right, New Berlin, New Stuttgart, I can handle this.
Some turns later he's founding yet another city. I casually look at the name. "Berlin 2".
Huh?
That sounds like a movie sequel, not a city name. Who'd name their city Berlin 2?
Just so I could avoid seeing that kind of thing, I quickly opened the editor and added some city names for each civ. Now most civs can go well into fifty cities before I start seeing "2" as part of a city name. Much better. Yeah, I know it's not much of a mod, but it's not trying to be.
This doesn't change the rules of the game in any way. It does 3 things:
1. Adds more city names
2. Corrects the spelling of "Odysseus" in Greek Leaders
3. Corrects the spelling of "Phoenician" and "Teotihuacan" in the Barbarian tribes.

VERSION 3.0
1. Adds enough city names to bring every civilization except the Babylonians (~45) to 50+ unique city names. Thanks to Hastur for the Iroquois name source (a grab bag of the five nations village names was used).
2. Corrects the spellings of misspelled Great Leaders, which now correctly read "Skenandoah", "Boadicea", "Odysseus", and "Richthofen".
3. Corrects misspelled barbarian tribes, so they now correctly read "Teotihuacan", "Phoenician", "Kazakh", "Etruscan", and "Mycenaean".
4. Fixes the name of the French leader, which was oddly half-Anglicized in release. She is now named "Jeanne d'Arc" i.e. completely de-Anglicized.
5. Accent added to Tenochtitlán. Accent mark also added to Orléans. Removed the "s" from the end of Lyon and Marseille. Removed Erech from the Babylonian list; it's just an alternative spelling for Uruk.
6. Added Great Leaders to round out every civ's list to six except for the Zulu (no source). Removed Khufu from the Egyptian list (Cheops and Khufu are the same person), added Thutmose. Added a few more Iliad names for the Greeks, Agamemnon, Menelaus, and Achilles. Removed Hengest and Horsa from the German list and added Rommel, Bluecher, Ludendorff, and Clausewitz (yes I know he was Prussian, but he's a famous military kind of guy
). Added Koniev to the end of the Russian list. Added Nobunaga, Hideyoshi, Meiji, and Yamamoto to the Japanese list. Added Louis XIV, Davout, and Ney to the French list. Added Mardonius, Zopyrus and Masistius to the Persian list. Added Joseph Brant to the end of the Iroquois list (again, not being very accurate here, but the game Iroquois aren't supposed to be really Iroquois anyway). Hit a wall with the Zulu - all I know is that Dingane, one of the Leaders already in there, actually was Shaka's brother that succeeded in assassinating him. Oh well.
Version 3.16f
Incorporates all patch changes. In addition to above:
7. Corrects the spelling of Genghis Khan. It's not universally accepted, but that spelling is generally seen as correct. "Ghengis Kahn" is just...bad.
