Regarding naming of some of our units for the coming GCA offensive:

After watching one of my favorite StrongBad epispodes again, I think one of the MI's should be named "Trogdor"

Civman2000 - your map looks amazing. I like it.

We have Emperor MarkG

That said, I think one of the following might work:

1. IAS: Imperial Apolytonian Ship
2. AIS: Apolytonian Imperial Ship
3. RAS: Republic of Apolyton Ship
4. ARS: Apolytonian Republican Ship
5. ACSS: Apolyton Civilization Site Ship
6. AS: Apolytonian Ship

Personally, I really like #1, perhaps #3 (Consul system and a Republic, afterall).

Yeah, Imperial Apolytonian Ship (IAS) is just cool

I'd suggest A_S, with the blank being filled by a letter designating the ship's purpose-- "E" for exploration, "C" for combat, "T" for troop transport, etc.

However, of the choices Arnelos suggested, I like (1) or (4).

But I guess the other question is whether there are still members waiting to get their names into the game. If yes - they should take precedence.

I suspose this is as good a place as any. As Knights are starting to be mentioned, I would like to humblelyrequest the name of our first knight goes to me. In the original SPDG, I was known as the First Knight of Apolyton and was called into battle on numerous occasions. I was still suiting up in my rusty old armor to fight Riflemen and Infantry. Please give me the honor of continueing to be "Donegeal The First Knight of Apolyton".

Thank you.

I hope to have version 1.0 of the other continent out by Wednesday (I'll have lots of geographic features to label given the complex shape of the continent), and version 1.0 of the full map by the weekend. I'm actually not sure if I want to separate them...

I hate to say it, but the map of the other continent looks like somebody’s gall bladder. I hope we see the shape change soon!

Don’t ask me what our great central sea reminds me of

Avatar Enlargement: We've got the solution

I propose a name that I made for a city in the SPDG where we lost a number of cavalry taking a hill:

Heroes' Summit

As for other names, I'll suggest the same two that I got to name as a minister in that game:

Arcadia
Solace

Arcadia has be benefit of even being Greek, which would be somewhat appropriate. Arcadia should, ideally, be located in a mountainous/hilly area. Solace can be located anywhere.
