Cheetah Mar 27, 2004, 03:27 AM How about keeping to the original names if we don't come up with some very good names?
Peri Mar 27, 2004, 07:27 AM That works for me Cheetah
Ankka Mar 27, 2004, 08:52 AM Thunder Falls.
Peri Mar 27, 2004, 09:44 AM Thunder Falls gets my vote not surprisingly. ;)

What do you mean by "original names?" :hmm:
Gainy Mar 27, 2004, 10:32 AM 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.
Emp.Napoleon Mar 27, 2004, 11:16 AM 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?

I do hope you're kidding! ;)
Yndy Mar 29, 2004, 04:22 AM 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 Mar 29, 2004, 12:00 PM Originally posted by Matrix

Yes, that's what I meant... RegentMan, maybe you should sleep more? :p

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:
Donovan Zoi Mar 30, 2004, 05:48 AM Originally posted by Peri

: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:
Plexus Apr 05, 2004, 01:25 AM Plextl has a nice ring to it. :D
magnusmarcus Apr 13, 2004, 11:14 AM 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.
Donovan Zoi Apr 16, 2004, 04:50 PM 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. :)
RegentMan Apr 16, 2004, 06:53 PM Wow Donovan Zoi! You've doubled the list (or that's at least how it feels.)! Those are some great suggestions. Keep them coming! :)
Zarn Apr 16, 2004, 07:10 PM Originally posted by RegentMan

Looks like my city will never make it to the map. :p

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.

Ankka Apr 17, 2004, 08:07 AM Beverly Hills

Rik Meleet Apr 17, 2004, 10:43 AM Fortress of Falgawor
Kuningas Apr 17, 2004, 12:08 PM Since we are building SoZ soon:
Citadel of Poseidon
Stronghold of Hera
Fortress of Cronus
RegentMan Apr 17, 2004, 01:21 PM Great suggestions! List updated. What do we want to call our third city?

I presume you mean Khazad Dûm?

RegentMan Apr 22, 2004, 08:46 PM TheDuckOfFlanders, your list started out fine, then got more and more... interesting. ;) I'm sure Backstab City will be a success with our neighbor.
Hygro Apr 22, 2004, 08:52 PM Butte's Canyon.
Matrix Apr 23, 2004, 04:18 AM TheDuckOfFlanders! You've returned! :eek: For how long? :confused:
Anyway, we should poll now for our next city. :) Edit: Oi, that's undoable. :undecide: Then what? Donovan will just decide?
TheDuckOfFlanders Apr 23, 2004, 07:04 AM 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! :)
Emp.Napoleon Aug 18, 2004, 11:02 PM EMP CITY, Emperor City, Napoleonopolis, AmbasEMP, SUPER EMP!
Ankka Aug 19, 2004, 09:22 AM Yeah, those where the ones you can delete. ;) :p
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!
Stuck_as_a_Mac Aug 19, 2004, 05:10 PM SaaMtopia, SaaMsung, Trogdor, NotInMyNYC, ect ect (yes, thats the name Ect Ect)
Matrix Aug 19, 2004, 05:36 PM Mayhem :evil:
Midian :evil:
Cthulhu :evil:
Downfall Pentagram :evil:
Where in Trans-Sylvania did Dracula live? :confused:
Ah well, we could also call the city "Dracula" or "The Castle of Dracula". :evil:
