	"Name Landmark" Feature Support Apolyton, buy Alpha Centauri

is there a "Name Landmark" Feature, similar to SMAC one, in Civ3?

if there is, where can I find it?
if there isn't, wouldn't it be cool to have one?

A name land feature would be nice for two reasons; 1) It adds atmoshere and a sense of history to one's game, 2) It is plain practicle on very large maps, to help you find your way around.

I entirely agree that a Landmark Naming feature would [have been / be] a good addition to have in the game, like the aforementioned SMAC. Someone should tell Firaxis 'bout this one for their up-and-coming PTW expansion... ;-)

Best I can remember, I rarely used it with SMAC, but it would be a nice touch to have them, especially on fictional scenarios.

I agree it'd be nice to name battlefields.

I too, would like to see this in PTW.

It was kinda fun, but not an essential thing. Was nice to name the shallow ocean that once was the Morganite territory the "New Spartan Sea" though, heh. I also liked assigning names to various landmasses I controlled.

I think it would allow for more in-depth scenarios.

I dont thik it matters. I never used in SMAC. There are more important things to put in PTW

Never used it in SMAC.
More substance for future expansions, less fluff.

Useful if it was in combination with a quick location jump function, i.e. similiar to 'c' atm but more like a RTS game in that you would specify CTRL-1 to point to a certain point on the map, CTRL-2 to another, etc...

Would make airlifts from continent to continent a heck of a lot easier if you could quick-jump rather than scrolling or using the mini-map.

Quite a reach in the quest for 500.

Couldn't you have rewarded us with something more interesting to look at?

Jeff said that most of PtW is done now, and only imperative things would be included from this point on (the last turnchat). I'd love to see it, but don't hold your breath...

I think "name landmarks" should be included. I am sure this is quite easy to add to the game.

It would be cool to name landmarks in multiplayer... like where you won a battle or conquered some land or so

Is it important? Not really. Would it be cool? Oh, yeah...

I definitely support the "Landmark feature" idea.

Even thoguh it might not seem as an essential part of the gameplay, Civ is about making our own alternative histroy and what is a history book without names?

It would be useful for historical scenarios and I was an ardent champion of unique terrain tiles as well as names for Civ 3. One of the nicest things about exploring the map in Conquest of the New World was the discovery of nameable items, be it the tallest mountain, longest river or the like. Just a feelgood frill and utterly unimportant to those who are focussing purely on optimal expansion of course

It would be REAL nice in multiplayer, especially if the victor gets to name it and you taunt the other players!

	Completely agree. Support Apolyton buy from Amazon

Of course it isn't necessary or revelant, it is a fluff feature. Not saying that is bad, that's just what it is. I for one would like it, as I was one to use it a lot in SMAC. It adds color and personality to the game, and that is something you can't ever have too much of.

This wouldn't be particularly hard to add, would it? It wouldn't take much time at all.
