Yeah I renamed one city I just captured "Suck on That" last night in a multiplayer game.

Ouch! Good one, Horse. I bet you didn't make any new friends with that one.

I only rename conquered cities if the city has one of the generic names, such as "Issus". Then, I add a roman numeral to the end to indicate the order in which it joined my empire. So, for example, I would have Issus I, Issus II, Issus III, all the way up to things like Issus V and Dortmund XI. (For an example of this in use, see my game in the hall of fame).

This is slightly off-topic, but when editing the list of city names, I accidentally added this city name:
I
It's a great city name for the goblins, or for several other swell-headed civs you could name.

No, and I only wish that the architecture also remained the same.

You forgot the French and Spanish. Spanish are the most backstabbish civs you can play against...Das Wasser soll dein Spiegel sein
Erst wenn es glatt ist, wirst du sehen
Wieviel Märchen dir noch bleibt
und um Erlösung wirst du flehen.
The water shall be your mirror
Only when it's smooth you will see
How much fairy-tale is left for you
And you will beg for deliverance.

I usually don't rename the provincial cities, but I do rename the capitals to something obscene and insulting. I figure its the best way to show the people who's their new lord and master from now until eternity... by transforming the pride of their civlization into a joke ::insert evil laughter here::

I'm way too lazy to do that, but i once renamed stutgart in the WW79 scenario (i was the Soviets, allied with america from the beginning
and they had taken that city only on europe, so i was going to subvert it, but when i remembered that democratic cities couldn't, i renamed it to "Spy!!!"

I don't normally (at most a hint as to the original civ), but I know Moker does. I've been losing some to him in a Tribe game, and they all end up with just a single letter each!

Using the spy's "investigate city"option, I will usually rename cities I'm planning on conquering BEFORE I take them over. That saves me the trouble later on, and keeps me on track for where I'm campaigning.
I will usually keep the default names for my own civ, and "americanize" or "Egyptize" the names of the cities I take over, allowing me to keep track of where I've conquered.Any man can be a Father, but it takes someone special to be a BEAST
I was just about to point out that Horsie is simply making excuses in advance for why he will suck at Civ III...

Renaming conquered cities is fun for me many times, and also when an enemy ship is offshore from one it is hard to resist a fitting temporary rename.The journey itself is the thing~OdysseusComment
