City Names

[Zaan]

Well, it's been six hours over three days with AoN and the map and here is what I came up with. Mostyl I tried to select a city that
a) existed back then
b) is more or less appropriate to the city icon on the map
c) is more or less appropriate compared to cities in neighbouring provinces
d) screwing all earlier points except a, was by far the most important city in the province boundaries

In no particular order the city names are as follows
Skane - Malmo

I think Richmond needs to be the one for Roanoke...As it will be the capital of the Confederate States in the AoN

 

[Styrbiorn]

That was... something

Some note I can see immidiately:
Malmö was a little unimportant town, should remain as it is.

It was discussed and agreed that Key West was more important than Miami. Don't ask me though, I didn't take part in that.

Reval is the German (and used) name of Tallinn. I don't know when it was "renamed" Tallinn though.

Guadelope and Dominica will stay as they are, because of simplicity (if not everyone diagree of course ).

I'll implement these later tonight.

 

[Txini]

Btw, St Petersburg was first St Peterburg, then Petrograd since Feb'17 and Leningrad till the fall of USSR, now is another time St Petersburg

 

[Zaan]

If you do the implementation put Richmond instead of Norfolk. I had no idea what was the capital of the CSA (hm, Fort Sumter comes to mind )

BTW Sorry Txini, nobody's perfect

don't worry was to get you out from that error

Asturias - Oviedo
Aragon - Zaragoza
Galicia - La Coruña
Granada - Granada

It doesn't really matter if the capital of Estonia is named Reval or Tallinn. Reval is the German and Swedish name of the city and Tallinn is the Estonian name (Means 'The Danish City' since it was founded by Danes). I don't know what name the Russians used for Tallinn though.

 

[Styrbiorn]

Correct.
Tallinn means Danish Castle though

Tallinn= Tanskan Linna =Danish fortress

 

[Styrbiorn]

Castle = fort, when speaking of Medieval terms

Miami didn't exist until 1880s, wasnt important until 1920s. Key West was the only American city in the "Everglades" province until late 20th C.

Washington can't be in cheasapeake. Please don't change any cities in the USA, as I spent quite a while evaluating them and I don't alot of the suggestsion work. For instance, cheasapeake is a port, as baltimore was (and an important one)... it makes no sense to put washington there.

I think you might have taken the city placement on the map too seriously. In all, this map isn't really that accurate to begin with, and I don't think putting in lesser cities to reflect the exact location of the graphics would enhance the game.

Just My opinion.

 

[Styrbiorn]

I tend to agree with that, but many towns on Mamut's list are justified. I won't do any changes on the US though.

 

[Niptium]

Okay

For Québec's provinces, (I'm a one) and the towns were sometimes mixed up.

Hochelaga - Montréal
Stadaconé - Québec
(With the accent aigu on the ''e'' please)
Shawinigan - Trois-Rivières (this is the good place for this town)
Mégantic - Boucherville
Ticonderoga - Fort Chambly (I don't know if St-Jean existed at that time)
Saguenay - La Baie
Laurentia - St-Jérôme
Ottawa - Cornwall (most of this area was colonised by english people)
Bas St-Laurent - Rimouski
Gaspésie - Gaspé

Everything north of Saguenay wasnt populated at all at that time. There should be TPs at this place.

Revel. Tallinn came after 1946.

Consider it done.


Estonia's capital will be Reval.

The city in Otrar province should be Tashkent

Well, it works for me.

I can't find any Otrar province.

I have added many names from that list, BTW.

Uzbek province, sorry for confusion
