I think we should name it "Morris's Ticket Home." Or maybe "Private Morris: Dismissed."

I think we should stick with cool, intelligent names. 'OurGoatsAreTrainedToKill' is an eyesore (to me). Sorry if I sound like I'm ruining everyone's fun, but diplomatically we'll be a lot more respected if it looks like we're taking this game seriously.

Awwww, c'mon. We can change it to something respectable after we finish the gag. Right now the only Civ that would see it is Elucidia, and they'd appreciate the humor.

Not if they think we're peaceful, which (last I heard) we want them to think.

I think at least one of our Jungle cities should be named 'Heart of Darkness'.

Okay, updated the cities list

How about "EmbeddedReporter'sAreNotWelcome" ; since we made the earlier 'joke' with CDG that Morris was a reporter/informant for them.

Again, I seriously object to any city-name that even alludes to warfare until we're already at war. Currently we're trying to keep CDG from attacking us. There is no need to provoke them with militant-type names. It's just bad diplomacy.

I know I sound like a party-pooper. We can always rename cities all we want when we finally start conquering CDG (eventually, not now).

Isn't there currently a poll about our next city name?

Something I noticed with my CDG demo...

CDG has only 3 cities. But they have a lot of units. They have a fairly high support cost (~3 or 4) and in addition to their Barracks, that means they can't keep their slider about about 60%. At 60% and below Mathematics takes 40 turns to research. That may be why they were at only 10% science...

I mentioned that in another thread Trip. I think they might be 40- turning it.

Trip, there's no evidence that they have "lots of units."

Give me a number, but then that cannot even be confirmed unless we investigated every CDG city two turns in a row. Then it wouldn't be certain even. We know if they were over the support limit or not is what we'd know.

I would think the evidence for their units actually suggests they have quite few? We've seen 2 warriors, and 1 spear/immortal. Their military is average compared to ours- and doesn't the "strength ratio" favor Immortals to Numidians? What I mean is- don't they need less Immortals to "match" our strength in Numidians?

It seems to me that they may have quite few units?
