Please let us name the world's features

On a sidenote, why would you not just place markers with names on the map?

...river 'we pee in it then you drink it haha.'

I love this river! You should name it "Wepeeinitthenyoudrinkithaha" rather.
I rather like this idea. They should have serie of place name for each civ. But you can't see the name 'til you found civ who name it, Prevent you know who you will comfront. But I think my Plan B is better. We have two series of name set. for something like. Ex. George-, Saint-, East-, etc. and end it with -wood in case if you found forest while play England. So you may name a big forest Berrywood. But there would have big problem. How you can separate a sub-continent, penisular, plain from a big continent. You didn't want to call our earth as three-continent world. One is Antartic. Another is America. Last is "Europafricasia". Right? It may easy. But bigger problem is how you can separate ocean? You doesn't want to call it "World ocean". Right?

That's why you should be able to select exactly what you want to name, and how you want to name it. And of course it should be optional, and desabled defaultly. AI's won't be able to name things, and in multiplayer, I guess it should be turned off, so...No problem!

You can already put labels on the map anywhere you want.

wasn't there a feature similar to this in alpha centauri (which btw could use a sequel sometime soon)?

It'll probably be redone as an FPS like Fallout 3 and X-COM.

J/k...I hope!

You can put down labels, but that's not the same a text melded into the very fabric of the terrain.
