What is your favorite custom name that you use? Mine is the Chrisonians. Custom names mean the names you made up not just the ones of real countries that are not in the game. ------------------

I have used Sepp Blatter as ruler of the Hooligans quite a few times. Then I group city names by soccer leagues - each continent or major part of a continent gets their own league.Man Utd and Liverpool over here; Real Madrid and Barcelona over there; Inter and Lazio; even San Lorenzo, River, and Boca. It really helps me keep track of where cities are for trading. |

I don't use custom civs, however I usually found many cities in my games and thus must look at atlases to find extra cities. |

Victorians (Oz state inhabitants that is), so I can use the cities and towns with well-known geography - a real plus for locating them quickly. |

I ought to try doing this sometime. I'd have to play as the Cretonians. In the tenth grade (circa 1965), I developed a sort of Diplomacy game within my high school. I recruited people to be in charge of planets in my empire while I ruled the planet Creton.Wouldn't you know it, though? One of my classmates decided to revolt, developed the "Myriads of Hydra" and my empire fell apart. Oh, well. C'est la guerre. ------------------

I have a Rand McNally "Histomap of World History" map in my office. It gives plenty of geographical information to choose tribes (i.e. Hittites, Minoan, Amorites, etc) with cities and leaders names also!It's very cool to have next to my National Geographic maps of Asia, Europe, the Americas, etc. No more room for my diploma! |

In my very first game, I played as the Celts. As an Irishman, I was dismayed to see Cardiff as the very boring name for the first city, so I decided on cartoon characters. Homer was my capital, followed by Snoopy, Dilbert, Garfield etc.These days, I occasionally play as the Celts, using the towns and vilages of the west of Ireland; or as the Golfers (capital: St Andrews) or the Scientists (Einstein, Darwin, Newton etc). I once played a game as Frank Lloyd Wright, with Oak Park as my capital, and Taliesin, Fallingwater, Guugenheim museum etc, but ran out of buildings. When I get to Naples using normal Civs, I try to make city names that are puns on the language or people. So German cities are named Mercedes, BMW, Kohl, etc; Greek/ROman cities are Stadium, Uranium, Criterion, Ultimatum etc. It makes me laugh.... |

Rufus T. Firefly of the Freedonians, of course. My first four cities are Grouchopolis, Chicopolis, Harpopolis, and Zeppopolis; Laurelton, Hardyton, Chaplinton, and Keaton follow hard behind, as does West Mae.In another movie-referential bit of naming, I also recently played my first OCC as Grand Duchess Gloriana XII of Grand Fenwick. Seemed appropriate, and a little cross-dressing didn't bother Peter Sellers so why should it bother me? ------------------

anarchy - That Guy
Despotism - Boss
Monarchy - ?
Republic - Council Leader
Democracy - Prez
Communism - Big Boss
Fundamentalism - High Lord So which file do I alter. Rulers.txt? |
