Let's name all of our workers, from this point on, after all of the Apolyton Hall of famers, in the order of their induction. Rush will have the esteemed distinction of being the first and only non-Hall of Famer.

Does anyone feel like looking up new names out of Sumerian literature for military units? We could definetly pull a bunch of names from the Epic of Gilgamesh...

Ack. No, just have fun with the names. I had in the last game one named woodchuck (after the cider I was drinking that evening... yum) and Faygo (after the soda I was also drinking on that night). Nothing serious, just good old fun.

I despise the idea of naming it after hall of fame people who have not one d@mn thing to do with this game. If they were worth naming our units after them, then they would join the demo game and help us play.

Now, as per old ways, let the DM name the workers, let the MoW name the military units, let the citizens vote on the name of cities (with the DM naming them otherwise) and name the settlers after the locaion on our maps we wish to settle with. Simple folks.

I'd like some to be historical

Maybe a class of units could be for fun. Any of them - say archers.

Some should be historical, others can be random/fun names, and then the others can be named for members of the team.
