FIRAXIS named one of the Greek cities: Apolyton
I'm not sure if there's a greek city named "Apolyton" or if it's a way to honor this website by Firaxis.
One of my enemies named a city 'Apolyton' (I didn't edit it or something) I provided a screenshot.
Congrats Markos / Daniel, for getting your 'name' in civ3 !!
hmmm, of course the attachement is too large :-(
lemmie try to get it smaller.

Pretty stupid question... Sorry.
Does the word 'Apolyton' mean something in Greek? In this case, what is its meaning?
After all, *** congratulations, Apolyton! ***

Everyone:
I agree, it is a pretty classy thing for TPTB at Firaxis to do. The Web site Apolyton has certainly achieved a certain degree of immortality with the Greek "city" of Apolyton.

I'm sorry, mate.
My e-mail isn't working.
I suggest using the PM function, at least for now.
