While it is a bit early (our civ is not yet decided), we can begin to create names for our cities.

For now, I would suggest that we limit ourselves to two city names each. We only have six players so far, which would give us 12 names. Once we run out of names we would create some more.

Since we haven't built any cities, we need to decide on a name for our capital. We'll somehow choose that from the first names we submit.

My two suggestions:

1) Evaackk Central
2) Free Ride

Free Ride was a song from my youth by the Edgar Winter Group. Not a particulary good song, but is does use the word 'Free'. :crazyeye:

For the capital name:

1. Evaackkia
2. Evaackk City
3. FREEdom

#3 could also be used as another city besides our capital.

Evaackkia. I like that. I wished I had thought of it.

I don't that would be a problem. The text box for naming a city is quite long and I don't see us making a city name with 50 characters.

Rik Meleet has asked for a city to be named after him. Any ideas?

free = liber
free = liber libera; liberum

free = solvo
free birth = ingenuitas
free from = purus
free from = vacuus
free from care = securus
free time = otium
free-born = ingenuus
freedom = libertas
freedom = licentia
freely = expedite
freely = grate
freely = libere
freeze = congelo
freezing = gelidus
freezing cold = gelu

Or "Free" from various languages.

Examples:
Portugese: Livre
Italian: Libero
German: Frei
Spanish/ French: Libre
Dutch: Vrij

i like Kuningas' latin names. my favorites are immunis and extrico, also since there are so many we can name a lot of cities with latin names.

In Latin, then, how would these 'free' terms be translated:

fat-free
sugar-free
odor-free
taste-free
free-fall
tax-free
free as air

The last city we built (Turn 80) was named TaTuba. The suggested name was Tatub.

I'm open to 'better' city names than the defaults. We have at about 20 cities more to build before we run out of space in FREEland.
