Great idea.
I dont know how it can be implemented though, the world zoom out option is not good enough.

From now on, all of my screenshots will have white labels for all named locations on the map at that point. So far, all we have is the Notylopa Jungle.

Maybe we should use the "clear" map for this?(shift+M I think) and give the job to the Historian?

Panag, do you really think it's feasible to put up a poll for every city/geographic location on the map to have a vote for? Even if we don't have to do it seperately, we have to do it enough times to get an idea on each name. That's waaaaay too much work, and I wouldn't do it.

hi ,

please read again , only the best names , and we could vote for maybe the order , on how the names are used , in what order , ...

and for the moment we can have several names , we should get enough for the first 10 places , ...

have a nice day

In my turn-by-turn reports I'm sure it would be somewhat helpful to have lablels in various locations so that people can recognize what they're looking at (more useful later on, of course, but it's still fun).

I think that the Imperial Expansion minister is the best to take that post...

Of course.

But i'm talking about a big map without all the cities and the improvements in a separate sticky thread for everyone to know what is what.
It will be updated from time to time, as we explore more.

Like a physical map of the world(or whatever it's called) in an atlas.

I know, I was only referring to my turnchat reports, not a big ol' project. Better get Hazie on that one pronto.

To not come off as supportive of the current administration or nything else for that matter, I do agree that spontaneously naming the areas,cities, etc is a good idea. afterall, for the most part, the ancients did not sit around and contemplate the names of everything, it was more spontaneous (other wise Rome might be Julius Caesar City).

[Spiffor]

We probably don't need polls. But we need to prepare ready-to-use ideas. "Notylopa" didn't come alone : Hazie suggested it as a name for our Civ, 8 days ago or so.
That's why I'd like to see name suggestions in this thread, it would help us giving names to regions... Please ppl would you give ideas ?

(BTW, if you give ideas here, it's very likely they'll be used, even if you're not online when the decision is taken)

hi ,

the great sea of apolitania , ....just in front of the capital , ..if it turns out to be a large ocean , we can always rename that .

have a nice day

[Trevman]

Notylopa River of course

[Jon Shafer]

Notylopa River, Notylopa Jungle, Apolytonian Plains. That's what we have so far.
