Carthaginian city in C3C named "lol"?!

[ChiefSparkY]

I'm LOVING C3C even though I haven't given multiplayer another go since my first attempts. I'm playing as the Carthaginians at the moment and I've noticed that around the 12th or so city, it's named "lol" - net speak for "laugh out loud" of course. Doesn't really fit in with the rest of the cities! After "lol", any new cities go back to proper Carthaginian names.

Is this hardcoded? If so, can this be fixed in any upcoming patch, Brad?

Thanks,
Gavin

Sometimes programmers like to throw in things known as "Easter Eggs." I believe you may have found one.

Its an easter egg, Its in the PC version too. There is a city names "Thunderfall" somewhere aswell, and a more subtile one: "Neo Tokyo" (instead of "new Tokyo" )

Actually, *this* city name is not an Easter egg. It is spelled Iol. But in the font used in-game, the capital "eye" looks like a lower-case "ell".

(And let's not forget the city named "Not Constantinople" instead of "New Istanbul". )

Padma, thanks for the info! That seems more like it - I didn't think "lol" would have been a particularly good Easter egg
