Now that we have uncovered a fair bit of our continent, I think itīs about time to name places properly. This will for one serve the roleplay greatly (and can be used for many new MorganLink articles), but it will also proof useful when referring to units or squares later on.

Now hereīs the idea:
I have taken detail screenshots of our ingame-map without bases, units or terraforming. This way thereīs enough room to insert names without getting confusing too quickly. Those screenies have been merged into a larger image, representing our entire current map.
All we need now is good name suggestions for all the different stuff on the map: Mountains, rivers, monoliths, perhaps resource boni (like "... waterfalls" for that energy bonus on the river), forests, plains, fungus jungles, bays, lakes, seas, ...

You see, thereīs much to do

Feel free to discuss everything in this thread, the map will be updated ever so often.

PS: Those names already in there are based upon Impalerīs namings (slightly altered) and my own (hastily invented) creations, so theyīre far from final

that size 1 lake in the woods, would be an ideal place to grow mussels. Could it be named Lake Mussel, and the city that will be founded there could be Morgan Mussels

I like it

However, it seems to be a bay rather than a lake, so maybe we should call it Mussel Bay instead? (Or Mossel Bay, as the big town in South Africa )

We can have a bit of a Morgan Desert NE of Mt. Drogue; where MorganInc. Corp can take you on fantastic XenoSafaris.

Morgan Processing --> Red Fungus Resort.

How about Vander Vulcanology?

Rio de Greedo instead of Greed River. A little Spanglish for you.

Kody's Cascade instead of Kody's River? Drogue Falls instead of Drogue's River? Morgan Monolith becomes Temple of Drogue?

Central Plains or Bread Basket for the rainy area north of Morg Ind and Morg Met.

Morgan Industries --> The Power Company, with nearby Hot Springs energy bonus.

For our German members, the Black Forest west of the HQ.

@ Morgan Mussels.

Wow, quite a bit..

Thanks jts, most of that sounds better than the current names. I oppose the renaming of Monoliths to temple, though. We can roleplay thereīs a temple complex beuilt around there, but it still remains an alien structure... (Plus Iīm too lazy to rewrite the history thread where I have already roleplayed the "monolith" parts... )

How about "The Wild Drogue" instead of "Drogue Falls" (since waterfalls wonīt cover several hundred kilometres ) ?

	Put an end to popups!

The Whitewater Drogues? Agua Blanca Drogua?? I'm on a Spanglish trip.

I'm not too fond of the temple thing anyway, except maybe a Temple of Consumption.

Greed River Valley? If that is the proper term for a valley of a river area.

Whether this is the right thread or not, I propose a base called, "Vander Eudemonics"

I just thought of the good old ACDG1, and then a vision came to me:
Letīs divide our country into states! With each state having a capital and proper borders!

Whether it will also be affecting gameplay (via gouvernors) may be subject to discussion, but it sure would add to roleplay! (ok, itīs my try to get started on the "Morgan Industries - Investorīs Guide" to compete with Gaian hitchikerīs guide...

I think Morgan Industries will be run by a few people at a time, so I see no need for governors or divisions of the sort. I figure the map can be updated after we do more exploration in about 1 to 2 decades.

Googlie had originally wanted a trader faction. I would see that very fitting for the next ACDG as the sole human faction.

Donīt get me wrong, the divisions into states will be purely roleplay issues... Something to write about. (I said the gameplay part may be subject to discussion, which means it isnīt important to me )

Itīs just an idea to revive the roleplay of our faction, seeing as we have merely managed to put together two editions of our newspaper in 45 years...

I think there will be action in about ~5 years when we meet the AIs and hopefully build the PEG. I expect there be be some role playing when the action comes up. Getting the trade deal with the Spartans used up some of our free time :P

I have tried to merge the Spartan exploration screenshots with our geographical database. (I will update our map with all names soon )

You can tell from the color and grid difference which parts have been added by the SCC Hunter info. We could use this compilation in order to decide where we want the Spartans to explore (Googlie has asked several times for proposals concerning the direction of the ship).

Hm, finished an updated map of the Morgan Territories. Havenīt included forests, deserts etc. yet, wanted to hear your opinions beforehand.

Edit:
I have tried to work out provinces and included them in the map. They neednīt be of any importance in matters of administrations, but I strongly believe they will bring life into the roleplay part of the game

I am open for name suggestions as well as for criticism (raise your voice and I will crush you )

This map will aid in discussing the placement of our future cities.

I propose naming the Peninsula, or Island we are on the "Peso Peninsula".

Hehe, nice...

Do you mean the entire Morganic territory or the peninsula to the south?

I think we were refering to the bays next to RFR and Mogran Mussels.

I am honoured to hear that, but since para said "twin bays" and "southeast", I think I put them right
Also the bay at Morgan Mussels is "Lake Mussels", if I am not mistaken... At least itīs been that when we first explored the area and didnīt know it had a connection to the sea...

Thank you, though
