Title: What's your longest region name? And can you help me shorten mine?
Post by: Ramona Brie on October 08, 2007, 03:55:16 PM
For the past few months, I've been working on a region that is home to 7 large cities. Its name:

Camelot-Churry Valley-Riverforest-Cadiz-Snowdon-Marley Park-Track's Wood

I would like to shorten it down. Camelot encompasses 3 city tiles with 2 of them very large. Track's Wood was the former name of the region.

I am open to dropping Track's Wood.

What's YOUR longest region name? Mine is 72 characters long (!)

I have Startup Manager, which is how I rename my regions now. This one went through a few shorter names.

I'd like a shorter version of the region name I have up there. Help!

Ahhhh so you want help to get a new name then aye?  I would suggest look at the charater of the region...
Are you going threw industrial revolution or are you happy mild in residental growth or what? ? ?  What about as an idea "Camurry River Valley".... Thats just a thought though - pat

Maybe one with some names on it.

To this you can use Region Census (http://sc4devotion.com/csxlex/lex_filedesc.php?lotGET=913).

I advise a phonebook for naming. Open it up, flip through the white pages, and point at a random name. There ya go: combine that with -ville, -burg, -town, River, Heights, Wood, etc, etc, and you have a perfect city/regionm name.
