That reminds me of something... if you are going to add a Norwegian module, this one need to be in: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hell,_Nord-Trøndelag
I say both

ing and Hel* deserves a place in civ

P.S.
Here is a revised Venetian city list with English names:

Tell me, Capo, do you like

ing in Austria?

Vortilex · Apr 26, 2010

I believe there are cities in America named "Hell," because of German immigrants seeing it light there and deciding that they would name the city "Light," which in German is "Hell." I believe they give postcards of the city on fire with the mayor in a devil suit and the words, "I've been through Hell!" on it, though I don't know if I can find any pictures. My grandpa told me about this.

Here's my India list (it's basically a mish-mash of every important city in India historically, then a civ-style cities today by population)

and here is my Sumer/Akkad list

And finally my Mongol city list:

Awesome, thanks a lot. I'll add this to my to-do list.

Omega124 · May 16, 2010

I like your new list VeBear, but wouldn't it be New Venice and New Bresica? It would fit with the city list better.

Anyways, how's this for a Scottish city list (If there's even going to be a Scottish civ)

Spoiler :

Well, that's all I got so far. :sad:

I'm going to add more cities later.

It was late last night and I couldn't think that well. I said I was going to work on it later.

AbsintheRed · May 17, 2010

No prob, I just thought you were being ironic or something by posting that as a city list...

Of course... my mistake :blush:

What do you think?

Huayna Capac357 · May 17, 2010

Iona should be on the list.

Vortilex · May 18, 2010

I'm not to knowledgeable about Scottish cities, so that looks good to me! I recently learned of an English city by the name of "Tintinhull" which is about 20,000 people, but is fun to say! Sort of like

ing, but it isn't an English swear word in a German-speaking area...

veBear · Jul 9, 2010

I have decided to make you a new and better norway city-list capo

Oslo (You mau choose to name it Christiania... really doesn't matter)
Bergen
Trondheim
Stavanger
Eidsvoll
Tromsø
Narvik
Fredrikshald (You may name it Halden instead... really doesn't matter)
Ålesund
Hamar
Sarpsborg
Tønsberg
Røros
Kristiansand
Skien (Where Henrik Ibsen were born)
Fredrikstad
Kristiansund
Grip (For many years the one stop point between Trondheim and Bergen. Although it were no more than an iseland far out in the sea with a Churc and a couple of houses, it were for a long time a major trading centre)
Molde
Elverum (Elverumsfullmakten "The Elverum Authorization")
Lillehammer (Said to host one of the best winter olympics ever)
Arendal
Drammen
Dombås
Bodø
Moss
Åndalsnes
Steinkjer
Nordkapp
Namsos
Kirkenes
Vadsø
Sandsnes
Mo i Rana (Literally means Mo in Rana)
Lofoten (Yeah I know, it is actually a group of Islands, but still central in Norwegian culture, and Hastings is no better, as it were only a couple of houses and a hill where a battle were fought, and still it is so far up on the English city list)
Hammerfest
Haugesund
Alta
Stiklestad (No City, but still importan, just as Hastings)
Karasjok
Kautokeino
Florø
Gudvågen
Flåklypa (Actually just a place, but thanks to the movie Flåklypa Grand Prix it is very central in Norwegian culture, although most Norwegian tend to think the place is fictioinal)
Egersund
Lakselv
Vardø
Larvik
Vadsø
Båtsfjord
Uddevalla (Originally Norwegian, now Swedish)
Harstad
Kongshelle (Originally Norwegian, now Swedish)
Longyearbyean (Largest city on Svalbard)
Ny-Ålesund (Worlds northermost functional public settlement)
Lindesnes
Sveagruva
World's End (You may use the Norwegian name here, just thought it would be funny to include)
Manetbukta (Translate of the L'Anse aux Meadows, which literally means 'Jellyfish Cove'. The Place is a site of a Viking settlement in North America, so therefore, I think, it deserves a place in civ.

I think that should be all

EDIT: That is actually 59 cities... tell me if you wnat it shortened down a bit. If you would like to have World's End and/or Manetbukta in, but still shorten, tell me, and I shall include it/them in a shortened list.

Huayna Capac357 · Jul 9, 2010

What about having

Orkneyjar (Orkney)
Hjaltland (Shetland)
Tórshavn (Largest settlement of the Faroes)
Reykjavík
Eystribygð (Eastern Settlement of Greenland)
Vestribyggð (Western Settlement of Greenland)

after World's End and before L'Anse aux Meadows?

veBear · Jul 9, 2010

Problem is that these areas would probably be covered by other civs.
Greenland -> Denmark... those names might work for Norway too actually
Faroe Islands -> Denmark
Shetland -> Scotland
Orkney -> Scotland
And Iceland is jusy out of the question, having in mind that there might actually show up a Iceland civ when some of the more important ones are done, and Reykjavik would surely be their Capital

EDIT:

Spoiler :

Huayna Capac357 · Jul 9, 2010

I thought they were settled by Norwegians though.

veBear · Jul 9, 2010

Indeed they were, so maybe we can add them, but that depends if Capo allwos it, cause the list is pretty long already. But still, Faroe Islands, Orkney Islands and Iceland is still out of the question, as Tórshavn goes under Denmark, Orkney under Scotland and Iceland could go for its own civ, and I vote for an Iceland civ in the second Europe Module pack, along with a Norwegian Civ as it's Derivate.Talking about Hate civs, here's a couple of suggestion.
Iceland -> Norway
Norway -> Denmark (There is a reason for the Union time being called the 'four-hundred years night' in Norway
Denmark -> Sweden
Sweden -> Denmark
Finland -> Russia OR Sweden
Actually, I think those 5 civs would fit great into a North Europe module pack

EDIT1:

Here's a layout for an Iceland list:
Reykjavik
Thingvellir
Keflavík
Húsavik
Akureyri
Raydarfjall
Reykjanesbær
Nattfáravik
Skálholt
Vatnafjördur
Hólar
Saudafell
Geysir
Vatnajökull
Bardaströnd
Godafoss
Hvammur
Skagafjördur
Ísafjördur
Austurland
Árnesthing
Rangárthing
Haukdælir
Örlygsstadir
Flóabardagi
Haugsnes
That is 26 cities

If you want to create such a civ, here's my suggestions:
Leader: Jón Arason (Cha, Spi) or Jón Sigurdsson (Cha, Nat)
UU: Leidangr (Swordsman or Maceman replacement)
UB: Thing (Courthouse, absolutely courthouse)

Just quoting myself

EDIT2:
Maybe I should post this in the Civ Discussion Thread instead?

Huayna Capac357 · Jul 9, 2010

Oh. I see. I was simply suggesting because of the addition of L'Anse aux Meadows.
