Our second city now has the placeholder name "Falcon's Haven". Should we keep this name or should we have another name? If so, which name?

I kind of like Falcon's Haven. Nostalgic.
:old:

I propose Equus Aurum (Golden Horse).

I propose Equus Aurum (Golden Horse).

Seconded!!!

I'll Second that :D

Wow, I really like Equus Aurum, I'd support that one

Eagles hell?

Seconded!!!

Third - cool name, dutchfire!

-- Ravensfire

I propose Equus Aurum (Golden Horse).

I agree with the others, excellent name!

what would be golden horse in Mongol (or is their language Tatar?) anyway are we "mongols"?

i'd go with Equus Aurum too

I would like to propose Abstain as a city name.

^ good idea...

How 'bout The Second City?

Equus Aurum it should be.

On a serious note, "Equus Aurum" doesn't sound like proper Latin to me (though I could be completely off; my Latin grammar is a little shaky.)

On that note are we trying to say "Golden Horse" or "Horses and Gold?"

second.. :)

How about a more direct historical reference? I will shamefully steal part of dutchfire's proposal, and suggest Golden Horde (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_Horde).

Equus Aurum is a great name. I also kinda like Abstain. :lol:

I'll second Golden Horde. :D

:hmm: You might be right. Equus Aureus (Golden Horse) or Equus Auri (Horses of Gold) might be better. I'll try to find my dictionary and give an answer.

After having done some research in the dictionary:
Although Aureum is the more commonly used adjectivum (adjective), the substantivum (noun) Aurum can also be used to say that something is made of gold.

SO what Golden Horse variant are we going to use in the poll?

I think the best way to go about doing this would be to create a poll on which "golden horse" variant should be used in the official city name poll, it's a bit complicated, but it seemed to work well enough when we had to decided on the none of the above variant for the capital.

To change the name of things confuses the game, previous posts and maps
lose meaning.

Otherwise, all names are good.

Ahh, but that's life in the real world. How many places used to belong to one tribe and now belong to another? Names get changed in the process. C'est la vie. Besides, we seem to have an energetic cartographer. Let's keep him busy. ;-)

So when do we poll this...We should settle this name soon as city 3 is going to need one.

Can we just get the poll posted please? :whipped:


Other player: why don't you just post it
DS: 'cause I'm trying to develop the next generation of leaders

Suggestions thus far:

Falcon's Haven
Equus Aurum
Golden Horde
Abstain

make sure its clear abstain is a name not a decision.
