How do you name your cities?

[cobbaut]

Micromanagement is what makes this game fun!

Yes it is. But MM is not always needed in every city. New cities for example can be fine with a build queue (hammers, nearby resources, ancient customs) and the occasional glance in the Domestic Advisor (happy, healthy, crime, disease, education) to insert a critical building in the queue.
I often MM two or three cities while the rest is humming along nicely.

At 50 you have basically won the game

Indeed.
One trick is to not be a war monger (and to not expand fast). I stopped declaring war, it is too easy to win like this. And if declared, then I allow myself to capture one city (and not raze any!). I also provide neighbours with strategic resources.

Or going for the entire Tech Tree

I have not passed Renaissance in years.... :-/

It's strange for me.
I certainly recall going as far as Sea Tunnels, which is quite high-tech, on Pit's Earth map with all 40 civs (which means a rather slow game).
But when I tried a quick run on it recently, I got bored around Medieval, so I'm wondering how I managed to play for long enough before.
Weird, in a certain way, lol.
You did just give me a small wish to try yet another such run (on Ultrafast AND Nightmare, or whatever the max diff name is), loool.

I leave the default names on.

I usually play as Rome, and I like to add lesser known Roman cities names or use a specific name in a more context appropriate setting - ie Ostia on a river estuary, Leptis Magna for a desert oasis, etc.
