Random Cities

It's really just a minor simple mod that was there (for V) from beginning I think, used it for ages. Nice they have it by default now, but even if they didn't, someone would've made a mod ASAP.
 
I would not call Leverkusen exactly "obscure"... there are quite a few football fans in the world.

Yeah, that's how I know it :). If the German cities were the Bundesliga table, that'd be a pretty funny mod.
 
That brings up an increasing question... Are city lists tied to the leader? It seems that the German capital is not Berlin and related to where Harold held his seat.

Yes, if the leader of Germany changes it would be strange to not also change the city names.

Frederik's Germany is very much a Holy Roman Empire Civ and seems to focus on some of the historically more "important" (in some cases "famous" might be the better word) cities of the medieval age (Aachen, Heidelberg,...).

In case Friedrich the Great or Bismarck return, Berlin would be the much more fitting capital.

Would be strange to see Gorgo for Greece with Athens as the capital...
 
Option for single player to have player names deterministic while AI are assigned randomly?
 
And it also means that you can't look at a new city and instantly figure out how many cities that civ has previously founded. No more "Since that's Ravenna [5th city on Rome's Civ V city list], Rome has founded at least 4 other cities."
in civ 5 you could just look at their city score
 
It's a fantastic change I think. This was one of the few mods I used for Civ V when I got tired with achievement hunting.
 
In the spirit of the Eurocentric nature of the game, I think after 5 cities your city names should revert to one of the few european cities that are not in the game...
 
As someone who pretty much always goes for small empires, I'm delighted. Finally I can see more than three or four city names per civ. ;)
 
I liked it better with a fixed list. It made sense to have Orleans the second French city all the time.

Orléans ? Why not, but honestly, Troyes being the third city is just weird, at least when it was Reims it was somewhat understandable.

This new way is definitly better.

Troyes being the third city is actually a funny kind of joke, since its name means "Three". The new way ruins the joke.
 
I think the strategic benefits of this far outweigh any sort of aesthetic criteria. Maybe that's just me.

It just occurred to me, can you move your capitol in 5 by rebuilding the palace? I don't recall ever actually doing it for whatever reason.
