So I'm playing against the Germans one game, and they've founded 13 or so cities. A settler plops his pack down near my borders. "New Berlin". Oh, they add a New afterwards. All right, New Berlin, New Stuttgart, I can handle this.
Some turns later he's founding yet another city. I casually look at the name. "Berlin 2".
Huh?
That sounds like a movie sequel, not a city name. Who'd name their city Berlin 2?
Just so I could avoid seeing that kind of thing, I quickly opened the editor and added some city names for each civ. Now most civs can go well into fifty cities before I start seeing "2" as part of a city name. Much better. Yeah, I know it's not much of a mod, but it's not trying to be.
This doesn't change the rules of the game in any way. It does 3 things:
1. Adds more city names
2. Corrects the spelling of "Odysseus" in Greek Leaders
3. Corrects the spelling of "Phoenician" and "Teotihuacan" in the Barbarian tribes.

VERSION 3.0
1. Adds enough city names to bring every civilization except the Babylonians (~45) to 50+ unique city names. Thanks to Hastur for the Iroquois name source (a grab bag of the five nations village names was used).
2. Corrects the spellings of misspelled Great Leaders, which now correctly read "Skenandoah", "Boadicea", "Odysseus", and "Richthofen".
3. Corrects misspelled barbarian tribes, so they now correctly read "Teotihuacan", "Phoenician", "Kazakh", "Etruscan", and "Mycenaean".
4. Fixes the name of the French leader, which was oddly half-Anglicized in release. She is now named "Jeanne d'Arc" i.e. completely de-Anglicized.
5. Accent added to Tenochtitlán. Accent mark also added to Orléans. Removed the "s" from the end of Lyon and Marseille. Removed Erech from the Babylonian list; it's just an alternative spelling for Uruk.
6. Added Great Leaders to round out every civ's list to six except for the Zulu (no source). Removed Khufu from the Egyptian list (Cheops and Khufu are the same person), added Thutmose. Added a few more Iliad names for the Greeks, Agamemnon, Menelaus, and Achilles. Removed Hengest and Horsa from the German list and added Rommel, Bluecher, Ludendorff, and Clausewitz (yes I know he was Prussian, but he's a famous military kind of guy  ). Added Koniev to the end of the Russian list. Added Nobunaga, Hideyoshi, Meiji, and Yamamoto to the Japanese list. Added Louis XIV, Davout, and Ney to the French list. Added Mardonius, Zopyrus and Masistius to the Persian list. Added Joseph Brant to the end of the Iroquois list (again, not being very accurate here, but the game Iroquois aren't supposed to be really Iroquois anyway). Hit a wall with the Zulu - all I know is that Dingane, one of the Leaders already in there, actually was Shaka's brother that succeeded in assassinating him. Oh well.
Version 3.16f
Incorporates all patch changes. In addition to above:
7. Corrects the spelling of Genghis Khan. It's not universally accepted, but that spelling is generally seen as correct. "Ghengis Kahn" is just...bad.

Xerxes2,
Yes, this is a civ3mod.bic. Rename it to civ3mod.bic to use it. I named it citynames.bic so that people wouldn't accidentally overwrite their old civ3mod.bic (especially if it had customized alterations).

First post details.

Is this patch compatible with unofficial Civ1.8 patch or one can't work with another?

chiren,
I didn't really get into the leader names much, except for switching Sun Tzu to the top of the Chinese list, fixing Skenandoah, and that egregious "Ulysess" they had at the end of the Greek list. But I'll keep the Richthofen spelling fix in mind for the next version.
abogusla,
I'm not sure what you refer to. If you refer to a different civ3mod.bic, well, you won't be able to use the two files simultaneously. But if you download this .bic file, you can copy and paste names between the two.
Pyrodrew,
Yep, they're all real, in that a settlement was or is named by those names. Varennes, for example, in the French list, so far as I know was a pretty small town, but is historically significant because they caught Louis there when he was trying to run. But in all cases, the names were acquired by research and not by imagination
I took the Skenandoah fix off a post made in the Official Apolyton Bug List, where city names weren't mentioned. If Ribannah can supply me with sources for Iroquois city names, I certainly wouldn't mind adding some.
Thanks for the feedback!

chiren,
Hengest and Horsa are the names of the mythical leaders of the Anglo-Saxon (post-Roman) Germanic invasion of Britain. I think their names are first mentioned in Bede's Ecclesiastical History of the English-Speaking Peoples. I was extremely surprised to see them as leaders, especially in the German list.

Purple,
Just go into the Civilizations tab, select the list, copy, open the other .bic file, select list, paste. Nothing more to it.

mmhh - i wasnt sure about hengest.
if they were anglo-saxons they should be english leaders. firaxis made a strange choice there. there are so many others who lead german armys (even many who werent nazis) like rommel

korn469,
Sure. As long as you sneak a credit in there somewhere, feel free to use it. I'm working on a third version (with some Iroquois city names I found masquerading as county names) and some more leader names, you might want to wait a couple days for that.
I also just noticed that I somehow uncorrected "Teotihuacan" in the second version, I haven't the faintest idea how I did that, but it'll be fixed in the third.

Marla, same goes for you as for any other map/mod/bic maker. Feel free. It's not as if I own the city names. I would appreciate a credit somewhere, though.
