Wich name You usually give to your capital city?

[Darth Balrog]

Hi,

Wich name You usually give to your capital city?

And wich name have Your digital alterego?

[Nym]

Not sure to really understand your question. I suppose it only has sense with modded games.
Concerning my current game my capital is Armenelos and my leader is Elros Tar-Minyatur.

[MyOlde]

I take whatever name the computer gives it. If I'm playing as the Germans, then it's Berlin. If I'm playing as China, it's Beijing. And so on.

I stopped renaming city's too and use the default ones now.

[Darth Balrog]

I always give different names for my city(s)! ...Since CIV I.

The varius names I give depend by the zone and the type of landscape the city(s) are.

For example, if the city is near some monatains and hill I ussualy give name such: Minas Tirith, Minas Morgul, Cirith Ungol and so on...

If the city rise near a particular abundance of horses (for example) I call it Rhoan

If the city is destiny to grow up a lot I call it with name such: Thannauser, Cassandra, Eternity...

If the city is destiny to be small (couse I need a city in a particular strategic position) I call it Bajedo, Hobville (if there is a wood near by... ) and so on...

Another thing I do is to give the same kind of names at the city(s) in particular zone or region.

For example. In a desert region on the east of my empire the names of my citys are: Osiris, Iside, Anubis, Set...
In a region in the north: Othin, Thor, Fray...
In a nice west region: Zeus, Apollo, Aphrodite, Era...

Usually I rename the citys I conquest with this way.

Sometimes I let their name if the citys are in a definite zoone with the same country name: Berlino, Stoccarda, Monaco... (Italian name of Berlin, Stutgart, Munchen )

So the name of my city change always... And if I read: "There is a problem in the city of Aphrodite" I know soon in wich part of my empire the problem is


Now my Leader name is Nim Namhir of the Nimeani (roman civilization)

And my capital city is: NIM.

Enjoy CIV!

[Hail Caesar!]

Dude this is one of the strangest threads on this forum

Like some of the others have posted, I use the default names for my cities and leaders.

[Wittlich]

The only city name I always change is my capital city. I name my capital city:

Capital City

[BigDork]

Hi all...

My capital is usually Dorkville.

BigD

[Theseus]

And Theseusville.

I almost always change the name of my leader as well... to Theseus.

[Vlad Antlerkov]

I rarely change city names. If I do so, it's because I utterly dislike the suggested city name, or if it's a captured city.

Leader names, though, I usually change to someone else from that nation's history: Napoleon instead of Joan of Arc, Hatshepsut or Ramses instead of Cleopatra, Tecumseh instead of Hiawatha (yes, historically incorrect, I know, but so is Cleopatra), Zhu Yuanzhang instead of Mao, Hamilcar Barca instead of Hannibal... you get the idea.

[Rhothaerill]

I usually don't change any of the names. Of course with some of the civs with uncommon city name it can be difficult. While writing my AAR for AU208 I couldn't remember which city was being attacked by barbarians, which city just ended up with the Hanging Gardens instead of the Great Lighthouse, etc.

[PLATO]

I will usually use the default names. Occasionally I will change one if it is built on a resource that appears to the name of the resource. If I have a city that connects two bodies of water I will usually rename it Crossover.

Leaders;

Those depend, if I have to wait really long for one to come along, something like 'Finally the first' usually does it

[Quasar1011]

My first and capital city is always named Greensburg, after the place I was born. Shame I haven't lived there since 1968...
