	Naming our 1st landmark Enter the AD-FREE zone

I've been eyeing that godsend of a river just above Fallow Times. I feel like this is such a watershed event in Gaian's history that a fitting name should be found for it. So, let's have some fun and see if we can't come up with something really cool.

Agreed. It's a great relief to finally know where the much talked about....

High Springs are located. Or maybe that's the Ebbin Flow I was thinking of? Well anyways, it's a great Green River for us.

Numbers 1-3 are rivers and we could actually name them in the game.
4 and 5 are two monoliths and we do not need to name them ingame.
6-12 are bonus resources and do not need to be named in the game.
13-15 are possible larger landamarks - bunch of barren wastes and two seas which we could name in game.
16-25 are different minor areas which we could name, but not in game.

So - 1 is Ebbin Flow?
Rivers 2 and 3 need names - perhaps High Springs for river 2 or Fungal Flow for river 3 (it does mostly flow through fungus ).
Monolith 4 could be Sentinel ( ) and Monolith 5 Sentry.

16 for Great Fungal Wastes.
13 - Barren Lands
We could rename Ruins (22) to Ruins of Yesterday or Mysteriuos Ruins.
South sea (14) could be Australis bay.

Naming some landmarks will make it easier to discuss plans: "Let's move that worm along the Fungal Flow to Dreams of Green", etc.. I'm all for it, but as yet have no opinions really. We could name the beach where our unity foil was found, and where our first MW was captured, etc...

How about Unity Beach since we foumd a rover near by too. And of course, Ebbin Flow River by all means.

oops: edited for spelling

Hi all,

Here are some ideas:

1 – Virgin River (since the base Virgin Soil is at its headwaters)
2 – New Nile (or perhaps wait until a base is established?)
3 – Green River, or River of Dreams (since the base Dreams of Green is at its headwaters)

Uranium Flats – I dislike this name but can’t think of a better one now (working…)

22 - Monolith Ring (it’s obvious and descriptive)

Other names for features to be found later:

• Fungal Wall - for a deep field of fungus
• Fungal Highway – for a continuous line of fungus that forms a highway
• High Desert – high elevation desert
• Lee Desert - a desert on the east side of a mountain range (SMAC has all air patterns moving west to east, so the east side of all higher elevations/mountains will be dry to a desert – hence ‘Lee Desert’) [could also be Rain Shadow Desert (or the ominous Shadow Desert) – Lee and Rain Shadow are synonyms]

	Tired of ads?

So I take it river one is Ebbin Flow then, according to votes in the thread. Dreams of Green or Fungal Flow for the 3? I like Rain Shadow desert. Monolith Ring for Ruins then? BTW other factions are on naming frenzy, so soon we will run out of slots for naming (64 is maximum)?

For now, let's place at least 16 x's somewhere as slot holders. Well, make that 15 + Ebbin Flow

Hehe, I like your plan. Should we do this turn already? CT how about I do this first, or better, when you post the presend, I will take the presend and do this, then post it in the turn tracking thread. OK?

Whoa, that's a lot of landmarks! It's fun to make 'em, but hey, no need to name every rock and tree

It may be paranoid, but I wouldn't name any at sea b/c it gives approaching craft a clue as to who/what/where they are sailing. Our mighty Gaian Sailors know the seas well enough to navigate without sky-letters.

Hydro suggested Monolith Ring, which makes me think of OctavianX's avatar...how about XenoDoughnut?

Unity Beach is interesting. It makes it seem like that's also where we originally landed, hiking up the hill to plant our first bases, which makes a nice story and backdrop for why we are such great sailors.

	Put an end to popups!

I'd like us to name the spots were the spore launcher and MW were catured. Also, how about The Geiger River for one through the Flats?

Geiger River? Is funny . We could decide couple of names more, then add them.

How about naming the high unexplored mountain to Snowflake Peak in the future? Unless it is Mt Planet, which is very unlikely.

We could also try Mt. Snowflake, unless that's just too suggestive

Seriously, I heartily approve of Snowflake's Peak.
