Space05us, could have a city called Spaceosus (SPACE-E-O-SUS). And he could kinda be a governer of that city, and get dead pissed if everybody sells it or deliberatly loses it in a war!

by the sounds of it, it'd be where the space program is, or the central hub for all scientific wonders and improvements!

uhh, i dont think i agree with any of the choices

i want cities named originally at first, but after the first few cycles of government, we name cities after people who did well in government.. like a succesful military advisor, or President.

Also, i think we should rename all cities we conquer.

yes, no offense, but this poll leaves a lot to be desired.

good idea though, perhaps you should make another one with more (and clearer) options?

Don't militery advisors just hanging around with the president, with forms for him to sign so you can launch some nukes!

president's disgression, but the city planner should poll the people for a few top priority names before each playing session...

thia is a bad poll, many options like mine are missing

In the Civ2 game it seems that the Prez arbitrarily names cities, and there's the odd occasion where a Council member/former Council member will have a city named after them as a testament to the brilliant work they did (eg Shade, Sodaq). It would perhaps be nice here if occasionally someone polled on city names.

Although I do kinda like the first option of this poll: making our first city and capital MrWIAville!

Yeah, and naming the second civmanton (like that with no caps please ) and then moving our capital to there because we start out in a crummy position ...

The Imperial Expansion Minister should be the only one to decide this.

This is a really good idea! Just think: A whole city with my name... I voted for the second choice.

Ministers should decide about the names or give a proposal of three names to vote.
no town has the name of a simple citizen.
