During the livestream, Ed said that: when picking a name for your next city it makes a list of the next 10 available city names and randomises a name from that list of 10 with a linear distribution where the 1st name has 10x the probability of the 10th name. That leads to the following city name list probability distribution:
Code:
Name 1 10/55 18.2%
Name 2 9/55 16.4%
Name 3 8/55 14.5%
Name 4 7/55 12.7%
Name 5 6/55 10.9%
Name 6 5/55 9.1%
Name 7 4/55 7.3%
Name 8 3/55 5.5%
Name 9 2/55 3.6%
Name 10 1/55 1.8%
