Well we have a thread for worker names so why not one for city names, given that we'll soon have a 2nd city.
And of course by soon I mean in like 10-15 game turns which will probably be like a month from now
It occurs to me that we might be able to do some sort of metagaming if we wanted to, with respect to what we choose for our city names, by strategically choosing the default Ethiopian names.
I am not familiar with BtS much less MP in BtS, so I don't know if the city names of other civs are visible either from the Top 5 cities page or from initiating contact. But for instance, if we named our 2nd city with the default Ethiopian capital name, we might cause people to think that is our capital (only city).
Now we probably couldn't convince the Templars that it is our capital since they've probably scouted over here and it wouldn't have the right culture amounts.
But if we named it the Ethiopian 3rd city, that might cause them to think it is our 3rd city? They might wonder if we could have gotten 2 settlers out that fast.
And that's of course not even mentioning the fact that would we WANT them to think we have 3 cities....
But anyways that's my job on the team. To come up with stupid ideas and have the rest of you tell me how stupid they are.
And even if we don't want to do anything like that, we still have to come up with a name for our next city!
