Anyone Rename Cities?

[gingerbill]

i'd forgotten you could rename to be honest . Strange as i always used to name cities in every other CIV to help me keep track of them and what there job was.

I really only have done it as America when I want to bump up a city of significance to me like Chicago, Denver, or Minneapolis in the typical order.

I usually name my cities off of Final Fantasy characters/events/etc, just something I've done for a very long time ;0

If you play multiplayer, I'd very much like to play you. I could use Chrono Trigger characters in a face off. haha

... I will occasionally build a city in the middle of nowhere, gift it to the AI that I declare war on, and take everything else of his to avoid the 'warmonger' tag. I usually call the gifted city S**tsylvania.

Wicked!

Once in a while, I play a game and rename all the cities to be DiscWorld cities; e.g., Ankh-Morpork as the capital.
If I recall correctly, in Civ IV, renaming a captured city would have an effect on the AI Player the city was taken from.

I rename mine to help remember why I built them - Science City (Usually Einstien), military cities get a MPB ending, etc... Would never do that in an MP game.

Didn't know you can rename cities....Small, but awesome feature.

Sometimes when I'm being more role-playish with my civs I will rename cities and units to make them fitting with whatever theme I've picked for my empire. In my current file (Germany, cIV) I have a city named "CFC".

In multiplay i often rename taken cities to respectfully insult my opponent (in a still respectful way ofc! like something dirty hehe).

In my single games i have always, since civ 2 renamed my civ Danubia, no matter what civ i choose to play. Danubia is my own created country which is something like germany but with other minorities as well, like slavs and french. And my cities have german sounding names, like Danemünde or Panzerhaven etc. Its just a thing i do to make it a bit more personal. I wish there would be more ways of personalizing your own civ though.

I always rename Istanbul to Constantinople.

I renamed cities in Ci IV. Spamming cities is much less rewarding (I rarely build more than four) in Ci V so renaming them no longer seems necessary.

I always rename all of my captured cities with the next city name in my civ's list.

If I play as the US then I'll rename the cities. For example I'd make my capital Arlington (where I live) and I'd probably name my second city just "DC". I used to live in Hawaii so when I play as Polynesia I rename everything based on towns/neighborhoods on the island Oahu. I made my capital Ewa Beach, which is where I did live and I also had a Kapolei and a Makakilo.

Sometimes when i conquest enemy cities, I want them NOT to have foreign names!!

Just like when Byzantium becomes Constantinople, and then Istanbul!

I don't want any clue of former and "infedel" culture, in my cities!!

I always rename all of my captured cities with the next city name in my civ's list.

this is it for me as well

 

[TywinLannister]

I have an awful habit of sticking the word "New" in front of any captured cities

 

[BranjoHello]

In Civ V I've renamed cities only in my first game since even the civ that I played with was renamed, and only cities that I found not conquered.

just to rub salt into the wound.

The Civilopedia even suggests doing this.
