Call To Power 2 Cradle 3+ mod in progress: https://apolyton.net/forum/other-games/call-to-power-2/ctp2-creation/9437883-making-cradle-3-fully-compatible-with-the-apolyton-edition
Jeff said that most of PtW is done now, and only imperative things would be included from this point on (the last turnchat). I'd love to see it, but don't hold your breath...
Even thoguh it might not seem as an essential part of the gameplay, Civ is about making our own alternative histroy and what is a history book without names?
It would be useful for historical scenarios and I was an ardent champion of unique terrain tiles as well as names for Civ 3. One of the nicest things about exploring the map in Conquest of the New World was the discovery of nameable items, be it the tallest mountain, longest river or the like. Just a feelgood frill and utterly unimportant to those who are focussing purely on optimal expansion of course
Of course it isn't necessary or revelant, it is a fluff feature. Not saying that is bad, that's just what it is. I for one would like it, as I was one to use it a lot in SMAC. It adds color and personality to the game, and that is something you can't ever have too much of.
