View Full Version : City Names
CommandoBob Nov 18, 2006, 02:17 PM 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.
CommandoBob Nov 18, 2006, 02:21 PM 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:
vikingruler Nov 18, 2006, 03:21 PM For the capital name:
1. Evaackkia
2. Evaackk City
3. FREEdom
#3 could also be used as another city besides our capital.
CommandoBob Nov 18, 2006, 06:47 PM For the capital name:
1. Evaackkia
Evaackkia. I like that. I wished I had thought of it.
:goodjob:

FREEville
D town
BTW- what's the charater limit for city names?
vikingruler Nov 19, 2006, 02:40 PM BTW- what's the charater limit for city names?
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.
CommandoBob Feb 17, 2007, 07:38 PM Rik Meleet has asked for a city to be named after him. Any ideas?
Empiremaker Feb 20, 2007, 03:12 PM FREE Meleet
Kuningas Feb 20, 2007, 06:40 PM How about Latin?
free = eripio
free = extrico
free = immunis
free = liber
free = liber libera; liberum
free = licens
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
Empiremaker Feb 24, 2007, 06:11 PM Or "Free" from various languages.
Examples:
Portugese: Livre
Italian: Libero
German: Frei
Spanish/ French: Libre
Dutch: Vrij
vikingruler Feb 24, 2007, 07:03 PM 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.
CommandoBob Feb 25, 2007, 06:59 PM 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
:crazyeye:
Kuningas Feb 27, 2007, 05:48 AM I'm not latin expert...
CommandoBob May 09, 2007, 12:41 PM 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.
