  • City Names

    Looking for suggestions so we can have a poll.

    My idea is that in homage to our Civ we retain the Capital's name as Carthage and from then on each member gets to name a city in an order we can sort out. Maybe the order we joined the group.

    Comments?

    I say we should stick with the original names. Otherwise each citizen/member (what are we, anyway, Legos or what?) will tend to protect/develope his "own" city.

    Just my 2 cents.

        I say we change names, just to have fun, building names. In the PS DG, people didn't really attempted toprtect their renamed cities.

            I think we should definately rename our cities to give our civilization a little more personality. I think it will give people a certain attachement to cities, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. That way cities have more identity, and are easier to differentiate. I mean, how interested will you really be in the development of "Leptis Magna?"

                Ideas for capital:

                Legolia
                Lego City
                Constructopolis
                Legopolis
                Factoryville
                Peace City

                other cities:

                Spiffopolis
                Odin City
                Zargonville
                Tiberia
                Nimitz Town
                (red) Star City

                  Kloreepville!

                  I think we should go with the default capital name for our first city. After that, I think we should let each citizen name (or, if we've gone a-conquering recently, rename) a city; starting with those in the government, and then going through the rest of the team either randomly or by seniority.

                    Please not Tiberia, it sounds like a girl's name! Maybe Tiberium, it you insist. Thank you

                    OK, rename them then. How about great buildings' names? Like "The Golden Gate Lego" or "Phartenon Lego" ? Hmm. Better ideas?

                      I'm all for Legopolis as our capital. From there, I think naming cities after ourselves is ok Or, perhaps after events that shaped the founding (or taking) of the city... I think the first city we ever take from Gathering Storm must be renamed "Drought."

                        Legopolis is nice.

                            I like Legopolis as our capital too.

                            I think we do need to change the names of our cities in case our opponents have already memorized Carthage's city names.
