yeah I know. The buggy interface has no explaination.

1. Here goes the game that breaks when I try to found a new city. It is a random climate, high earth likeliness, standard map with a randomly chosen civ - turned out to be Carthaginians. At the easiest level (I'm a wimp). Don't worry about fixing the game.
2. I was just yesterday playing with the Maya (games on Friday? Geek!) and noticed as I was retaking a city that the game crashed. Let me try to see if that keeps happening. Interesting that both games crash in the same time period, just as I assume control of a city...
3. As for the names, the reconstructed name of Tikal in classic lowland Maya would have been something like "Yax Mutal". The great king of Palenque (AkA Lakamha) is actually K'inich Janaab' Pakal I. Pacal II was possibly his grandson who took his name, but got his ass kicked royally by Tonina (AKA Po'). If you are interested, I can probably supply a good list of names of lowland classical sites.
This mod is the best thing to happen to frustrated historian geeks since the Paradox games. And the Rand gives it just the right twist. Congrats again, man.

if you can provide a list of real names for mayan cities, it would really be great and immediately forwarded to the next patch!
The realm of Tikal was called Yax Mutal (translates as First "Topknot"), and rival Tikal-wannabe Dos Pilas was hence just "Mutal"
Naranjo - classical name is probably Saal
Yaxha has the same name from classical times: Yaxa (Blue Water)
Caracol was Oxwitza' (Three Hills)
Calakmul the city was Oxte'tuun (Three Stones), the area around it seems to be Chiik Naab', but the realm itself was callled "Kaanal" (Of the Snake).
Yaxchilan was Siyaj Chan (Sky Born)
Piedras Negras was Yokib' (the entrance)
Palenque the city was Lakamha' (Big water), the realm was B'aakal (Bone)
Tonina was Po'
Cities whose location remains unkwnown: B'ital, Tuub'al, Yootz, Sakha', Toktan
Let me see what I can find for the southern cities, highland cities and peninsula. In fact, maybe I'll give the regular RFC a run to see what you got there for the Maya.
This map might come handy:

Games are still crashing after founding/entering cities post renaissance. Still, I love the thing. Could it be the random civilization? Maybe I'll try a non-random game and see what happens.
Thanks, El Leon. I have a long list of Mayan city names, and I had been looking at maps and texts to find out more about what they would have been called by the Mayans. Most of those names that Rhye used was from my info, from what I can tell. Any others I may have missed?
are those ' really necessary?

That's what I wondered too. I came to the conclusion that english speakers need or just love them. They also come in big quantities in any fictitious/fantasy language 
Admittedly, probably not.
