  • Landmark Names

    These are the names of different terrain features on the map. 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, and 7 are official; all others are unofficial. Please post suggestion for the unofficial ones in this thread, but not until I finish posting the three maps.

          yea, i poosted that somewhere else... assuming it's an island it's uber island

          if its own continent or our own, then the name is disbanded.

          we really SHOULD have a system for naming geographic features.

                  The unofficial names are Dragon Teeth, Home Divide, Uber's Island, Great Plains. I like Dragon Teeth, which is a very good idea. However, I think we should wait before naming the land in front of Apolyton, until we actually know what it looks like. BTW, I dislike the name "Uber Island" even if it happens to be an island (so far, we adopted "official" names when nobody voiced a significant opposition. I think landmarks should not be named after people, we already have cities for this).
                  I dislike the "Great Plains" idea, because they're not that great, and I don't feel like the "Home Divide".
                  Many ideas were given here.

                  For the Sea, I'd personally go for "Arcadian Ocean" (courtesy Vlad), and "Victory Plains" once we conquered America. For the undiscovered Land, I say we wait until we know what it looks like.

                    Ah, the Dragon's Teeth. I believe I suggested that one in the turnchat.


                    I also strongly support the name which I first mentioned in a War Academy thread:
                    I like the name 'Monkey Mountains' for the mountain range between Persia and Our Own Glorious Nation. (OOGN).

                        If it's a continent and not a island, I suggest naming it Uberabu-- because continents have to start and end with the same vowel

                          never noticed that. Eurpoe, Asia, Australia, Africa, Antartica...

                          what about North America? South America? or are we just calling them America?

                            I think Valhalla Mountains is better than the opposite way, for when naming mountains in English, in real world they're always on that way around. E.g. Appalakian Mountains and Rocky Mountains. If someone remembers mountains in "of"-form feel free to correct me.

                            I'm not comfortable with Uber Island, and my idea is Agricola (or Continent of Agricola or Agricola Island or whatever) or

                            Being that we discovered the land by cultural expansion, I thought that it should be named after it's founder. I thought that culture comes from latin word cultura, meaning cultivate, or farming, or something like that. So from knowing that Agricola means farmer, how about that?

                            I think we should wait at naming the Home Divide, to know fully of what it is. (A canal or strait or something else.)

                              One suggestion, for that mountain where we are assembling our first strike force:
                              Eaglewatch (as in, "Plan Eagle")
