Custom Civ Names List

[Caligastia]

I like to call my people the Urantians,
I got the name from the urantia book

[DarkCloud]

I don't use custom civs, however I usually found many cities in my games and thus must look at atlases to find extra cities.

[tonic]

Victorians (Oz state inhabitants that is), so I can use the cities and towns with well-known geography - a real plus for locating them quickly.

I have a world map right behind my computer (3*2m)

[rah]

I play the Ferrets. (annoying little creatures that get into everything)

Capital
Ferretown
Other cities
Burrows
Damnation
Thelma &
Louise
Katieland (my daughter Katie always checks to make sure i've created one)
Guardtown
Borderland
Spytown
HAHA (if i can get one within two squares of another capital)
Gotherefirst
And many variations of specials. (i.e. Goldy, Mosstown, Silkland)
and what ever the situation calls for.

RAH
Lord of the Ferrets

[kcbob]

I ought to try doing this sometime. I'd have to play as the Cretonians. In the tenth grade (circa 1965), I developed a sort of Diplomacy game within my high school. I recruited people to be in charge of planets in my empire while I ruled the planet Creton.

Wouldn't you know it, though? One of my classmates decided to revolt, developed the "Myriads of Hydra" and my empire fell apart.

Oh, well. C'est la guerre.

[Shogun Gunner]

I have a Rand McNally "Histomap of World History" map in my office. It gives plenty of geographical information to choose tribes (i.e. Hittites, Minoan, Amorites, etc) with cities and leaders names also!

It's very cool to have next to my National Geographic maps of Asia, Europe, the Americas, etc. No more room for my diploma!

[Vladimir Antlerkov]

Well, I like to play as the Terran Alliance or simply Terrans or Alliance (usually the Romans or Americans renamed). If not, then I play as the Russians, with Moscow or St. Petersburg renamed Antlergrad ( ).

[Laertes]

In my very first game, I played as the Celts. As an Irishman, I was dismayed to see Cardiff as the very boring name for the first city, so I decided on cartoon characters. Homer was my capital, followed by Snoopy, Dilbert, Garfield etc.

These days, I occasionally play as the Celts, using the towns and vilages of the west of Ireland; or as the Golfers (capital: St Andrews) or the Scientists (Einstein, Darwin, Newton etc). I once played a game as Frank Lloyd Wright, with Oak Park as my capital, and Taliesin, Fallingwater, Guugenheim museum etc, but ran out of buildings.

When I get to Naples using normal Civs, I try to make city names that are puns on the language or people. So German cities are named Mercedes, BMW, Kohl, etc; Greek/ROman cities are Stadium, Uranium, Criterion, Ultimatum etc.

It makes me laugh....

[catullus]

Emperor Catullus of the Dead Poets has seized the position of the Carthaginians in rules.txt along with his beloved empress Lesbia.
Cities: Ovid, Shakespeare, Coleridge, Ibsen, Vergil, Cervantes, Snorri, Whitman...

[Rufus T. Firefly]

Rufus T. Firefly of the Freedonians, of course. My first four cities are Grouchopolis, Chicopolis, Harpopolis, and Zeppopolis; Laurelton, Hardyton, Chaplinton, and Keaton follow hard behind, as does West Mae.

In another movie-referential bit of naming, I also recently played my first OCC as Grand Duchess Gloriana XII of Grand Fenwick. Seemed appropriate, and a little cross-dressing didn't bother Peter Sellers so why should it bother me?

Dig trenches, with our men being killed off like flies? There isn't time to dig trenches. We'll have to buy them ready made. Here, run out and get some trenches.

[Ribannah]

I often play the Amberites from Roger Zelazny's SF books.

City list example:

Amber City (capital)
Kolvir
Garnath
Arden
Cabra
Rebma
Kashfa
Eregnor
Begma
Keep o'4 worlds
Courts of Chaos
Avalon
Lorraine
Unicorn
Serpent
Ghostwheel

etc. etc.

[Father Beast]

I am going to try this. Become Father Beast of The Beasts.
Beastopolis
Beast city
Beastown
and others much like the Chrisonians. Speaking of which - Good Hell, Christantine, you really go overboard on this. I just visited your Chrisonian republic home page. the whole thing dedicated to your civ empire?!?

(ahem)

anyway I was thinking also of suitable titles:
anarchy - That Guy
Despotism - Boss
Monarchy - ?
Republic - Council Leader
Democracy - Prez
Communism - Big Boss
Fundamentalism - High Lord

So which file do I alter. Rulers.txt?

[Christantine The Great]

It was a personal test to see if I could build a web page. I'm not that insane.
