Do you change the name of the leader or civilization when you play?

Funny I've never noticed you could customise the Civ & leader names.
I always rename my religion and maybe one game in 10 remain a city or two.

I did this once.
Regardless of my game or civ, my state religion is always Monkeyism (who believe that the universe was created by a monkey - other religions cannot be true since they do not acknowledge this simple fact, etc.), so I decided to go all the way one time.
Thus was born the Simian Empire.
The capital, Chimpville, was located in a nice jungle with a river as I recall. Then settlers founded Gorillaland, followed by Apesburg, then Orangutania. After that, the trouble began - as the game unfolded, I needed to start going wide.
So then was founded Monkey Land, then the next captured city became... umm... lessee... umm... Lemuria! Yeah, that'll do. Then... umm...
Lesson learned. Don't start up a themed empire unless you have enough good names for cities to cover what you'll need, or you'll hurt your head down the road

There is never a reason to run out of good primate names:
Tarsir Town
Gibbonville
Marmosettia
Capuchino
Howler Hollow
Spider Monkey Manor
Whoolly Monkey Woods
Bonobonia
Baboonia
Colobus City
Vervet Village
Macaqueville
Mangabey Bay
Rhesusville
Mandrillburg
Could be fun to mod this as a civ. UA? UB? UU?
UA: Bananas and banana plantations provide +1 happiness and +1 faith after theology is researched.
UB:Treehouse reclusiam: Replaces temple. Provides +2 food extra to other temple benefits. Costs no maintenance.
UU: Preachers of the divine Primate: Replaces missionary. Doesn't suffer attrition damage when in jungle or forest tiles.
Gain culture for converting citizens that follow another faith.
Hows that?
Definitely the bananas, I think a military UU instead of a religious one could make it more balanced, otherwise they would be like OP Boudiccas
what about the "kong" a unit with bonuses against elephants and that ignores terrain penalties?Definitely the bananas, I think a military UU instead of a religious one could make it more balanced, otherwise they would be like OP Boudiccas
Yep but Boudicca doesn't need theology and you wont have as much plantations as forest realistically. I was thinking that it would be a stubborn religious CiV, but not one that would discover its as soon as the others. It needs a certain...Philosophical incentive to acknowledge that the world was made by a monkey and you need the appropriate people to 'enlighten' your neighbors
I think the ignore thing is part of the Carosomething of Sweden though...
Anyway enough of me and defending my silly ideas, after all its excommunicatus CiV. If anyone builds a mod though please send me a PM. I WANT IT!

I am often surprised how of track some of these threads can become. We went from changing Civ names to a Monkey civ.

Well, its in human nature to hop from one subject to another during conversation. Especially when they are close.
