I have created Google sheet that I intend to keep in sync with the city name map currently used by the mod: DoC 1.18 Cities
In particular, I want to enable everyone to take a look at the map and make suggestions. The current state is already extremely good, especially taking the extensive comments with alternate names into account, but I am sure there is more room for improvement. Credit in particular to @LacsiraxAriscal and @Krieger-FS for their work on this. I have already made minor changes, in particular ensuring my preferred transliterations for Russian, Chinese, and Japanese, but other than that it is mostly unchanged.
You can look at the shared sheet but I do not want to enable comments or suggestions because that would make it difficult to keep it in sync with the mod state.
Instead, please make a personal copy of the sheet, make the edits there, and link the modified sheet here. For ease of editing, I would like to ask you to highlight modified names in bold and italics. Alternatively, if you have access to the map branch, you can also make suggestions in game by placing a landmark sign on the respective tile. If you prefer, screenshotting the ingame map and editing names on top of the tiles also works. The important part is that I can clearly tell which tiles are intended to change.
Things that definitely need to be revised: the city name map has not been updated since the Nile has been moved 1W, and some of the Saharan peaks have been moved. So if someone wants to adjust the city name map for that, it would be appreciated.
