I also like to keep the feeling of national diversity in City names.

Damn all of you who use "cologne", "munich", "vienna", "nuremberg", "hanover" and "konigsberg"!!!
oops, sorry...

The red site city will be founded next turn. Ideas on it or on cities in general? It's a river site, so we could use Potamia.

I like to see us settle there. I'd like it to be known as Lake Ishtar. (another name for our lady Inanna)

I know we can't settle this turn.


Sounds like a good name for the upcoming red wheat site.

New city names.

For the pink site near DR's Treacle. It is at the foot of a mountain. Maybe it is a misty mountain. How about the god of mist - Mummu, The Feet of Mummu?

Or for the Gold city - Mummu's Shores, Mummu Beach?
Gold City - something related to Ea. He is the chief god and also lord of the waters. Ea's Seat.

Maybe Qingu's Hall. Qingu was the dragon commander. This will be a front city.

Just some ideas found here:

Mummu, while surely correct, does have a *very* nasty meaning in several germanic languages... So IŽd like you to reconsider using it as a name...

Leave it to the Germans to take the name of a perfectly good god and turn it into something nasty.

OK - take Mummu off the list.
