How about keeping to the original names if we don't come up with some very good names?

Peri

That works for me Cheetah

Ankka

Thunder Falls.

Peri

Thunder Falls gets my vote not surprisingly. ;)

What do you mean by "original names?" :hmm:

Gainy

Names that are used by the Maya in the game.

I'm all for Thunder Falls as the name for our 2nd city, and if we can't think of any others, i'm quite happy to use the "original" ones.

I don't like to use our regular names. I think that it shows more team pride if we name them diffrently.

RegentMan
Mar 27, 2004, 06:39 PM
I agree Emp.Napoleon. Chichen Itza isn't very CFC. Also, I have only one city suggestion so far. Post yours, no matter how weird!

Ankka
Mar 28, 2004, 12:16 AM
How about Lucky Harbor? Or Sodapopolis? :p :mischief:

Emp.Napoleon
Mar 28, 2004, 12:24 AM
How about "Zoi City" after our fearless leader?;)

Ankka
Mar 28, 2004, 12:42 AM
How about Renault Dungeon?

Ankka
Mar 28, 2004, 12:44 AM
Or Fish Pond?

Duckburg?

Peri
Mar 28, 2004, 03:28 AM
Perhaps we should wait until we decide where no. 3 and no. 4 are going to be built?

Slave Market (that should make them think about our abilities)

Ankka
Mar 29, 2004, 06:30 AM
Not a bad idea, Yndy. :)

Matrix
Mar 29, 2004, 08:56 AM
:lol: Good one, Yndy! :D

Is Duckburg where Donald Duck lives? I only know the Dutch name: Duckstad. ('stad' = 'city')

Matrix
Mar 29, 2004, 08:58 AM
RegentMan, I think Ankka meant "Fish pond". "Or" is also a normal English word. :rolleyes:

Peri
Mar 29, 2004, 09:14 AM
Civvin' Itza is a puntastic name :mischief:

Ankka

Oops. I forgot to take it out after a copy and paste. No more staying up until the wee hours of the morning... ;)

Great ideas so far!

RegentMan
Mar 29, 2004, 06:38 PM
I just thought of something... Or would be an excellent name for a city! I'm proposing that! :p

Ankka
Mar 30, 2004, 05:00 AM
"Or"? :hmm:

What's the point...? :confused:

Peri
Mar 30, 2004, 05:23 AM
Since our next city will be at a choke-point, what about Asphyxia?
:lol:

Chieftess would love that, as it is very similar to Asphynxia, a fabled DG1 province. :lol:

Ankka
Mar 30, 2004, 09:15 AM
Does it mean something?

Peri
Mar 30, 2004, 11:02 AM
It is the medical term for being without air I believe. :)

Ankka
Mar 30, 2004, 11:45 AM
Ok... sounds good...:lol:

Please add Mootopia to the list

Zarn
Apr 13, 2004, 11:24 AM
Please add 'Jedina,' the city name I always advocate for demogames.

Peri
Apr 13, 2004, 12:03 PM
Please also add Hereford and Gurnsey as alternatives for the cow city. :)

Ankka
Apr 13, 2004, 12:38 PM
I say let's have a city named Ryttylä. :D

Peri
Apr 13, 2004, 12:45 PM
What does it mean in English?

Ankka
Apr 13, 2004, 12:57 PM
Nothing, really I think. It's just a cool little village near to where I live. :)

RegentMan
Apr 13, 2004, 07:46 PM
All added. We have a pretty big list now! :)

Peri
Apr 13, 2004, 07:53 PM
Please feel free to remove the cow related ones once city no.3 has been founded.

Will do Peri.

No offense, guys, but I am really against Moo-anything. It's just a bit too cutesy for my tastes. :(

When naming cities, let's try to be less literal and come up with some names of cities that you may find outside of Sesame Street. ;) One of the things I like to do is use obscure references from song lyrics or album titles. Here are some examples of city-like names I have used(bonus points if you can figure out where the name comes from ;) ):

Lateralus
The Bends
Bishopsgate(how about this for our canal city?)
Warakurna
Skellington
Orbus
West Oram
El Oso
Stull
Audiac

And just some other names inspired by commonplace sights, or interesting words:

Tyvek
Movado
Forbes
Intrepid
Androbius
Poerrt
Evian


Even if we end up not using any of these names, I would like us to be a bit more inspired when choosing city names. CDZ's Cave of Caerbannog is a great example: weird and menacing. And I can't wait to see their other names --- hopefully not a lot of them. :lol:

Just my two cents; hope I haven't offended anyone. :)

Wow Donovan Zoi! You've doubled the list (or that's at least how it feels.)! Those are some great suggestions. Keep them coming! :)

Why wouldn't it? I've added it to the list, so it's up to us to decide whether or not to found it.

TheDuckOfFlanders! You've returned! For how long?

FYI my Dutch friend i come by for the isdg games from time to time ,not much but i'm part of and following the CFC team. :)

Youre question "for how long" is a testament to my erradic behavior on this forum from time to time , i have a tendency to commit myself to a lot of thing's and my troubled mind often forget's a responsibilety here or there ,i'm more a man of idea's than responsabilety's anyway.

But true ,im here not that regulary ,im much to occupied with various other stuff to play an active role in demo games ,but i sorta have a connection with this game so i'm folowing it. (and enjoying it)

RegentMan
Aug 18, 2004, 09:48 PM
Well, I've updated the list and will keep it up to date for now on. Please tell me some of the names I can remove, then I can put the remaining names in alphabetical order! :)

Seriously, I think you can delete the ones that we have used... others can as well stay there.

RegentMan
Aug 19, 2004, 05:07 PM
Well, if we're going to gloat, how about Regent Town? ;)

Another suggestion I have is N'est-ce Pas?. That would be one freaky city name!
