In vino veritas = In wine, the truth. In other words, wine loosens the tongue.
Right?

I like to use the default names of the civ I am playing. When all the names are used, I try to think of names from that civ that haven't yet been used. An example: As America, I would name a city 'Hartford', since this is not on the city list. Is is really hard to do this with some civs, like the Babylonians and Aztecs, for example, but it is an added challenge.

I like naming cities according to their gegraphical position. I try to name a city the name of the one that is on the same spot in real world.

 

[goodbye_mr_bond]

It translates literally as, "In wine, truth".

So both translations above are right, depending on how you choose to interpret it.

...I hate having 200 cities and not being able to find one. The 'find city' option in civ2 sucks! It doesn't list them in any logical order as far as I can tell. I think in civ 1 you could type in the name, but in civ 2 you have to scroll through for some reason.

There is logic to the listing of citites in civ 2, it's just really, really, REALLY STUPID! The cities are listed in the order by which they were founded, and then (if two cities were built by different civs in the same turn) by the turn placement of each civ. I seriously hope they change this into alphabetical order or population order in civ 3.

Why the best city name is PinkyGen, currently the star city of the MGE succession game.

*mutters*

At least when the sheep loving celts don't occupy it.

I use creative names, like if I have 2 cities controlling the pet city, I call it Poisoner and Sabotageur. If I'm playing on the world map I name the cities according to their position on the map. And if I'm in the mood, say a city is between two hills, I call it "Boobs".
