You can guess at what your enemies are playing without having ever met them. They only get city names from civs already in the game.
Also: It's the Huns, not the Mongols

Toadman: Culture buildings (and culture-focused Wonders) have slots for Great Works. Any building (i.e., the Museum) and Wonder with multiple slots will give you a bonus if you slot the right works in.
So far, I've seen two:
1) All Works must be of the same type, same Civ, and same Era.
2) All Works must be of different types, different Civs, and different Eras.
This is called a Theming bonus.
France's UA is now basically that this bonus for buildings/wonders in the capital is doubled. It may sound difficult, but it's certainly doable. In my game, I had the Uffizi (perhaps one of the most difficult, requiring 3 Great Works of Writing all from the same era) and all other Wonders (except the Louvre) with their Theming bonuses intact.
If you have the Finisher for Aesthetics, these bonuses are also doubled. So, for France's capital, they are quadrupled.
That's how the UA works, and for Culture games at least, is very powerful.
The Chateau is a UI you get at Chivalry that generates Culture and gold by putting it on tiles adjacent to Luxuries and not adjacent to each other. So maximum 3 for any given Luxury.
And the Huns get other city's names, not the Mongols.

Some buildings and Wonders have slots where you can put Great Works of Writing, Music, and Art, or Artifacts. Ones that have multiple slots give bonuses for either like or different combinations of Works or Artifacts. This is called a Theming Bonus.
France's new UA doubles that bonus.

France's unique ability doubles the theme bonus in your capital. Basically, Museums and certain Wonders with great work slots have a "theme bonus". Meaning they want specific types of artwork and if you meet the requirements (say, artwork all from the same Era) then you get a bonus. An example of the bonus is +8 culture and +8 tourism. France doubles this bonus in their capital so it becomes +16/+16.
This doesn't seem like a lot but it actually is. Every point of Tourism really counts especially because Tourism gets huge modifiers.

To clarify: the reason Huns use other civ's city names is that the huns weren't really a civilization, they were nomadic wanderers, and so there are no historic city names to give them.
