should't be too much of a problem, since the English are never around long enough to found 'New' York.

[Inverse Icarus]

every city name has to be unique, or it skips over the name and goes on to the next one.

if the brits get the "New York" and theres another "New York" out there (American, or somehting you named for some reason) they'll skip it.

You can name your capital another civs Capital (on the first move) and they're capital will be messed up

How dare they, New York is in Newcastle,UK .. everybody knows that inbetween Wallsend and Whitley bay ..

I think it should stay as a American city. The English have York so it balances out

[zulu9812]

yes, but there is also an english town called New York. And there's a Washington...

Bah! I'd say New York should be a Dutch town instead of an English or American one! After all, we founded the damn city in the first place but those nasty English stole it! Oh, and Nieuw Amsterdam sounds better than New York. So there!

Then New York should be New Amsterdam or New Holland (its original name). But, the Dutch aren't in the game, so it can't be a Dutch city. There's plenty of places in NYC that have Dutch names.

Personally, I never found cities with the name "New". Wait, I take that back. I do if my original city gets razed, then I plop a new city in its place and call it "New" whatever. I did find it utterly hilarious when I first got the game and saw "Berlin 2". I thought, WTF?

I'm considering taking Philadelphia out of the Americans' city list so I can build it every game no matter who I am. I always name my own cities myself. I name my cities after me, then Ultima cities, then my hometown, then Philly, then other cities and towns in Pennsylvania.

Aren't most (mainly Eastern) American cities named after English and European towns/cities.

There sure are a lot of them. The other half have native Amerind names, and the third half (mostly tiny villages) are named after their founder.

Then again, America is a small village in The Netherlands ...
