Good start Prez ... I have just fixed some spelling ... the new or changed is in bold ...
Since Rik brought it up, Team MIA have discussed this topic at length. We would argue that renaming cities would cause too much confusion and difficulty for other teams trying to make plans - or even just trying to discuss what they can see. Thus giving an unfair advantage to teams that frequently rename (even non-maliciously) their cities.
However, when a city has been conquered the conquering forces should be allowed to rename the city
once as long as the old city name is left in brackets.
Example.
City "Constantinople" is conquered by the Turks. City name then becomes "Istanbul (Constantinople)" ...

However since there is a 23 character limit ... this would not be a good example
Of course, any name calling of any sort should be prohibited in the re-naming of cities.
Units should retain their normal
name Class but you can add anything else a team would like. (ie "Worker OurSlave1" or "Warrior CapitalDefence3")
Units should NOT be allowed to change their names once named.
Except when being upgraded and then only their class would change
Spearman - Fred would change to Pikeman - Fred when upgraded
Yes - in brackets.
Yes - see above.
Of course - other citizens may have input - and you should feel free to edit this language as you see fit!
Thanks Ybbor!
