How to rename a city? Support Apolyton buy from Amazon

Hello,

I've just started playing CTP2, and it certainly seems quite slick. But one big problem for me is that I can't seem to change the name of my cities, whatever I try.

In previous Civ games I had great fun customizing my empire. with my leader name, and naming my cities after my favourite places etc. I couldn't imagine playing a Civ game without being able to do that!

Is it possible to name your own cities in CTP2? Have I just overlooked how to do it?

Many thanks for any help.

Inflate your Upload Space

Just right click on your city and you will open a context menue. It should contain a rename option.

Support Apolyton, buy Alpha Centauri

I already modified my civilisation.txt and civ_str.txt so I have more citys and there is no need to rename them anymore, here an example:

The city is red, it seems to have been conquered by barbarians...
Unless you altered colors.txt too?

Enter the AD-FREE zone

The Barbarian red is a little bit darker I forgot to realter the Barbarian color to black again after I moved this file to my new comp. I don't like the default colors.

LOL I though you mentioned that once. The default blue can get annoying after a while
