Having just finished a settler map of the Balkans including Greece, do I have to do a separate city names one too? Could you explain the difference?

Let's see what we can come up with. You want to start a new thread for it? This seems like another focus for discussion, as it'll require talking about units, buildings, and resources as well.

Yes to be clear we are working on CITY NAME MAPS, maps of city names, obviously. SETTLER MAPS are numerical arrays which define which areas a civ will preferentially settle.
Also can I remind people to add links to any finished city maps to the wiki:

Have you checked by Bulgaria map yet? If so, is it Ok to proceed with the Byzantines
in the same way?
Also, is it possible to post the Bulgaria civ details that st. lucifer and I agreed
straight onto the wiki page?
Finally. My experience with excel is NONE. Once I've transferred comments to
each city square how do I save my changes on the wiki map?
Sorry for all the questions but I'm pretty clueless about this stuff. Though I'm
happy to keep working at whatever you suggest.

Yep that looks great.
Feel free to put any information you like on the wiki page you like. That's the point of it.
Download the spreadsheet on the wiki, add comments for your cities, save, then add the new version as an attachment to a post here or upload it somewhere else then add a link to the wiki.

Balkans and Byzantines around to Egypt done. (see map thread)
Now working across North Africa.

A less technical explanation is that a Settler map tells the AI were it wants to expand. So France would have a settler map telling them to go after English islands, the Rhine valley, Italian peninsula, etc. City names maps determine what the tile will be named if that civ holds the city on the tile.

So should we find out the greatest extent of the civ that we are doing and make a settler map of not only the civ's homeland, but also of all the territory that it ever controlled?
I think encompassing the territories that they held for a significant period would be best. For instance, I'm adding in German city names for the Alsace-Loraine region, a bit of eastern Poland and not much else. Later on, I will work on a complete Germanization of the entire city names map.

The polish city names map is nearly finished:
But there are still some gaps in Belarus and Ukraine, which are really difficult to fill. There simply aren't any towns there even now

That's brilliant, thanks.

I toast, therefore I am
Are there no names yet on the excel sheet or can I just not see them in OpenOffice? :S

And THAT'S why I put such big marshes in.
Why don't you mark those spaces by changing them to snow or desert, and I'll switch them to marsh in the next map update (which is nearly ready)?
Thanks!

I'm not finished yet. I'll try to find some names by the painful method of finding every village in the region and trying to find out whether they were founded at least before 1500
I also tried to edit the Dniester river again to make it even more accurate. If you can't see it in this picture, I can make a closer one

The excel sheet is a blank one for you to use to make individual civ city maps from. Although, I did put London on as an example so you should be able to see that.

I can't see it very well - if you could put a closeup in the map thread, that would be great. If you're ok with your previous correction, that's where the map currently stands.
Thanks again. Checking the founding dates of villages sounds like a real pain.

I look forward to that. It will be interesting to see how we put different cities on the same tiles
Ok, I'll post it tommorow with the city names map. It should be finished by that time
