View Full Version : Name City #3
greekguy Aug 06, 2005, 04:37 PM same as SaaM's thread, where you can come up with names for one of our future cities. so put all your suggestions in this thread. of course, there's a good chance i'll just use something i think up. :p
EDIT: i'd prefer something Greek related. (for 2 reasons)
Civlord Aug 06, 2005, 04:44 PM BeerCity, perhaps?

Also, I have no clue how you would go about putting that into the city naming box. You asked for Greek, and you got Greek ;).

You might be able to cut & paste it. How did you get it into the forum, was it a sequence of alt+number sequences? If so, the same sequences would work for the game. Be careful though, if you accidentally hit a character that the game considers significant it could have unexpected side effects.
Also, mind posting a translation? ;)

According to Babelfish, it's "The City Wonders". I'm guessing it's "The City Of Wonders".
"e pole anarotietai" I think.

Yeah, it's something along those lines. I'm also very thankful I didn't propose "The City of Prostitutes" now. :lol:
Also, yeah it was a sequence of alt+numbers. Although, I just found out you can actually copy and paste them, so I'll propose some more:
Καλωσορίζουμε εκείνοι με τα διανοητικά προβλήματα.
City of Lights:
Πόλη των φώτων
The harbour of stars:
Το λιμάνι αστεριών

MeteorPunch Aug 06, 2005, 06:06 PM You can't use real Greek letters in the city names without modding the game or the font in some way - I already tried. ;)
greekguy Aug 06, 2005, 07:17 PM ok, ok, i didn't mean real Greek. I meant something to with Greek mythology or government, etc.

How about 'Heran'?
Hera was the goddes of marriage, and Queen of the Olympians.
Furiey Aug 06, 2005, 07:38 PM This site (http://www.greek-mythology-gods.com/) gives a very simple intro to Greek mythology. there may be something of use there.
Nobody Aug 06, 2005, 07:50 PM How about melbourn i think thats the second largest greek city in the world (after athens)
Octavian X Aug 06, 2005, 08:49 PM If we're close to a mountain with this city, we could go with Mt. Olympus.
Civlord Aug 06, 2005, 09:08 PM What about Wicked Donut? Damn, this isn't a sober offer at all, but I am bad in inventing names!
peter grimes Aug 06, 2005, 09:20 PM I like the topographic tie-in. Mt. Olympus near mountain, Ephesus if it's on western coast, Styx if it's on a river, etc.
Civlord Aug 06, 2005, 09:25 PM Argos, perhaps. (Now this is a sober offer)
RegentMan Aug 07, 2005, 07:50 PM If Dave won't take it, I'll submit my name of Alphabeta.
CivGeneral Aug 07, 2005, 08:38 PM Something related to Zeus. Perhaps Zeusolopolis? (Zeuslopolis <- Alternative spelling)
Giio Aug 08, 2005, 01:54 AM Perbeatusaum Meton/Urbis
Bearing in mind I dont speak latin if it means what I think it means it'll be making alot of people glad ;)
greekguy Aug 09, 2005, 04:38 PM i'd like to thank everyone for their suggestions for the city name, but in the end i decided to use something i came up with. to find out what City #3 will be named, head over to the new city thread. (up in a couple of minutes from now...)
