I'll second "Haonograd". Having a city named after him will give Comrade Haon comfort on his travels as he brings the message of Hive glory to Chicago.

I say our deputy chairman deserves a base name. Only think about how Pravda has inspired people all over the world. Jamski Clovek is my pick. Or, secondly, we could go with Jamskigrad, just to get Comrade Franky's vote.

Comrade, you must learn to put the interest of the people before your own.

But i'm the one who crossed a huge field of mindworms simply to get to the hive.....I'm the one that labours away for the people.......I simply wish to help the hive.

Would you deprive me of that?

How about "CyCon Pact" or "Pirate Pact", something to that effect.

What better way to show goodwill to another faction than to name a city after a hoped for future agreement. It would show that you are interested in having brotherhood in the actual game. Not just in words.

True that other factions will be able to see that you wanted to team up with said faction. But this will be revealed later in the game most likely after the fact. They have to get a map of the city. The city naming will also show other factions that the glorious hive is not completely war mongering and may encourage another faction to make a treaty or pact.

Anyway if the agreement turns sour you can rename the base. Nerve stapling will cure any memory of a previous name.

But we want the cities to be named after us. We have egos in need of puffing up.

This is a good idea. Perhaps we could rename a couple after we meet them, depending on who it is.

I would only go for one or two at most. Too many cities named such and it either seems very fake, or it would look like the hive is very weak that we're relying on dipolmancy.

It's better if you name the city when it's built. That says commitment. Whereas if you rename it, then it would seem like only a dipolmactic effort.

Also I'm pretty sure word would get out to the targeted faction when the city gets named. They will get time to think about the alliance then. Early game everyone probably thinks themselves weak. Now's the best time to get others to think about alliances.

That's why we have propanganda saying the Hive is weak, where we really shouldn't be. So what other realistic disaster is next on the card?
