Firaxis seems to have lots of trouble with Chinese city names. They used several province names, were quite inconsistent with pronounciations, and created many duplicates.
Compare your list with mine, then suggest changes.
Chang An: If you talk about the capital of the Chinese civilization, no other city will ever beat Chang An, which is what Xian was previously called.
Luo Yang: This city is second in importance in Chinese history.
Beijing - Bei Jing
Shanghai - Shang Hai
Kanton - Guang Zhou
Nanking - I would call it Jian Kang, or its modern version Nan Jing.
Hongkong - Hong Kong
Xian - It's replaced by Chang An.
Tsingtao - Qing Dao
Xinjian - There is no such city or province in China
Taipeh - OK
Chengdu = Cheng Du
Hangzhou - Hang Zhou
Tientsin - Tian Jin
Tatung - Da Tong
Macao - Throw out this city, it has very little importance in China.
Fushun - Fu Shun
Sian - Sian is Xian is Chang An.
Anyang - An Yang was the capital of the first dynasty in China
Shantung - This is a province name.
Taiyuan - Tai Yuan
Mukden - It's Shen Yang. Mukden is probably used by the Japanese and would insult any Chinese gamer.
Kuangchuan - There is no such city or province in China.
Wuhan - I would use Wu Chang here.
Yang - Yang Zhou
Liaojang - Liao Yang
Chinan - Ji Nan
Lanzhou - Lan Zhou
Kaifeng - Kai Feng. You may want to place it higher in the list as it's a stragetically important city in China.
Kunming - Kun Min
Kueilin - Gui Ling
Shengjang - It's the same as Mukden and Shen Yang
Changchun - Chang Chun
Anshan - An Shan is hardly a major town in China.
Ningsia - Again, a province name. Yin Chuan is the provincial capital.
Ningpo - Ning Bo
Paoting - Bao Ding
Tainan - Tai Nan
Yünnan - Maybe it means Yunnan, a province?
Loyang - same as Luo Yang
Chiangling - Jiang Ling
Suzhou - Su Zhou
Zhangjiakou - Zhang Jia Kou
Qingdao - already listed
Taichung - OK
Wuxi - Wu Xi
Fuzhou - Fu Zhou
Chiao - Qiao is only a county, but birthplace of the GL Cao Cao.
Gejiu - ????
Wei - Ye Cheng
Harbin - OK
Xuzhou - Xu Zhou
Yangchow - same as Yang Zhou
Luda - Da Lian
Baotou - OK
Chongqing - Chong Qing
Kaohsiung - Gao Xiong
Guiyang - Gui Yang
Xining - OK
Hohhot - OK
Yumen - OK
Haikou - OK
I would add the following more cities:
Nan Yang
Xu Chang
Chao Ge
Gong Yang
Tian Shui
Zhen Ding

lord merciless: Is the seperate writing of the chinese names really much more accurate? I ask, because Beijing et al. are already so familiar.

Yes, because a Chinese city usually have 2 characters, and I think each of them should be represented by an English word.
But if you feel comfortable writing the other way, that's fine, too.

Oh, I forgot to say: I let Beijing in first place, because it's already the most important city for quite some time (so it comes close to Chang An) and it's the more popularly known, I think people want to have something familiar as capital, so as long as it's no bull****, I tend to make it so.
Anyway, only a few things left (I did most tasks myself already).
However, we lack the Zulu cities. Only 16 in the original list! I can't find much, can you?

Volodymyr- ancient Russian leader... of Moscow.
and the regulars:
Leon Trotsky
Iosif Stalin
Lenin
Kruschev
Ivan the Terrible
Catherine the Great
-
The Zulu were tribespeople... they didn't build much in the way of cities... You could just include some of the English trade cities in the list, if you like, since they were in their territory

I've changed the Russian leaders.
I'll dive into the Indian list later, especially the city list, for I have to compare it with mine.
But one instant question: Would you add Aqbar to the Mongols or to the Indians. Adding him to the Indians seems to me like adding Genghis or Kublai to the Chinese (oops, FIRAXIS did that!  )

Since PTW does have a Mongol civ, it's prudent to reserve those leaders for Mongols. I think the Mongol civ should also include any leader from Il-Khan, Golden Horde, Tamerlane's Empire, Mogul Empire, and Dsungaria.
A potential list:
Subotai
Tchagatai
Ogodei
Mengke
Kublai
Bayan
Haidu
Koko Timur
Tamerlane
Babur
Aqbar
Galdan Rabtan

Well not quite. It would be like describing the Prince Regent, George IV of Great Britain, as German, simply because his father happened to be.
Akbar was born in Umarkot (now in Pakistan) to Hamida- the first Mogul ruler to be born in the Indian sub-continent. You have to ask yourself what makes Akbar a Mongol rather than an Indian leader? Three generations removed from the first Mogul (not Mongol) invaders, it's a bit of a stretch to lump him in with Ogodai and Bortei.
Given his contributions to Indian culture and tolerance of religions originating in India, in my mind Akbar is Indian.

Zhukov should be in the Russia list of leaders.
You might want to include Metacomet a.k.a. King Philip in the Iriquois leader list.

Chinese city listing
Hi guys,
I just thought I'd clear up the Chinese city listing, as there are still a few errors. (I hope you don't mind).
Here is my list, marking changes you might want to make:
Beijing
*Chang'an (you need the apostrophe)
*Luoyang (spelling error)
Shanghai
Guangzhou
*Jiankang (if you wanted to call it Nanjing no one would complain)
*Hong Kong (traditionally these are two separate words in English)
*Qingdao (not Tsingtao)
Kaifeng
*Taipei (not generally spelled as Taipeh)
Chengdu
Hangzhou
*Tianjin (not Tientsin)
*Datong (not Tatung)
Fushun
Anyang
Taiyuan
*Shenyang (spelling error)
Wuchang
Yangzhou
*Liaoyang (spelling error)
Jinan
Lanzhou
*Kunming (spelling error, I'm 100% sure it's not Kunmin)
*Guilin (I've been there, it's Guilin not Guiling)
Changchun
Ningbo
Baoding
Tainan
Jiangling
Suzhou
Zhangjiakou
Taichung
Wuxi
*Fuzhou (see below)
*Yechang (as far as I can tell, Yechang is the old name for Fuzhou so one of these should be removed)
Harbin
Xuzhou
Dalian
Baotou
Chongqing
Kaohsiung
Guiyang
Xining
Hohhot
Yumen
Haikou
Nanyang
Xuchang
Chaoge
* (I deleted Gongyang because I couldn't find anything about it - though maybe someone else could enlighten me)
Tianshui
Zhending
Some other additions I thought would be nice:
Ürümqi
Changsha
Jilin
Anshan
Nanning
Shenzhen
Hopefully this is useful and not troublesome for you, Wernazuma III!

Gongyang was a small enclave (a so-called flower house IIRC, one of several) within the British Concession of Shanghai in the late 19th century.
There is also some holy script of that name (after Confucius), as well as a Korean king.

Rathenn: It's not roublesome at all, but I guess we have to wait for our Chinese expert Lord Merciless as I, frankly, got no clue about Chinese cities. Hope he'll look in here soon.

Zulu: Minor complaint. i don't know much bout their cities but Great Zimbabwe was a Monomotapan / Rozwi city and capital. They were enemies of the Zulu but I don't think the Zulu ever took the city.
I wouldn't worry too much. the only reason i changed it in my gane is because I added the Monomotapans. For African civs I usually crack open the atlas and pull out similar sounding city and town names from the area the empire covered. Resources on African civs are so rare.
China: Hong Kong isn't a city but an area. The major cities are Xiang Gang (Victoria) and Kowloon.
Xinjiang: in my atlas is a small town on the Fen river south of Taituan and n/e of Xi'an.

Hong Kong = Xiang Gang
Hong Kong is Cantonese, Xiang Gang is Mandarin. They are exactly the same thing (kinda like Rome/Roma for example).
"Victoria" is the name for the section of the city on Hong Kong island. Victoria and Kowloon are usually conceived (by the Chinese) to be sections of the same city, not different cities.

Xinjiang is the Chinese name for East Turkestan, the largest province of China.
If you want to ask me which "xinjiang" the developers were referring to, I'd bet on the large province, not on a tiny town.
