Give corporations more realistic names

[Ringan]

I want to rename the seven corporations after real companies. Anyone have any suggestions for appropriate names?

They can't give real company names-copyright infringement. You can mod the names if you like-or there may be some mods on this board already.

Halliburton for all of them.

Yeah, I figured that's why they didn't. That's why I wanted to mod them in, but I couldn't think of specific, fitting names.

Halliburton for all of them.

Hehe. That's the solution to all of your naming troubles.

Too bad it's pretty much true lol . Except for the food one. Sid's Sushi can be replaced by McDonalds.

I can understand why they don't have real names, but still names they have now are kind of cheesy. In comparison to the rest of the game which is generally based on representing history, the corporations just seem kind of out there in left field. I do like the concept of having corporations, but how they were implemented in general just seems kind of odd.

There are some symbols already made etc. I think they were placeholders and can be ofund in the Charlemagne scenario...

Sid's sushi -> Joe's Crab Shack
Cereal Mills -> General Mills
Aluminum Co -> Alcoa
Creative Constructions -> Halliburton
Civilized Jewelers -> DeBeers
Mining Co -> BHP Billington
Std Ethanol -> Archers Daniel Midland

Firaxis 15135 and 1335135 and 15315315 in city

... I don't believe this is good for our health, playing C-IV this much. Atleast not 5.105.105 times better than a hospital.

Or in the "Crossroads Of The World" Scenario.

Its good for our health.

Because health is good...

Fireaxis is good...

 

[Diamondeye]

Fireaxis is good...

...And spelled "Firaxis". Sorry for the nitpicking.

Joe's Crab Shack?

I think that would require adding a chicken resource.

 

[Love]

Only cow, pig and flying roasters

Can you explain how this law works here?

If Firaxis were to use actual corporation logos, the actual corporations could sue Firaxis for allowing the dilution of their copyrighted logo or for the implication of endorsement of CIV by the copyright holder. Even Wiki warns against the use of corporate logos on their website.

Now if an individual modder were to do make a mod with the actual logo, there is probably not much that the actual corporation could do to the modder. But the corporation could sue the administrators/owners of the Civ Fanatics Center to remove the mod with their logo in it.
