I think I'll again go with Culture Ship names as my theme this game.

Gonna go with Enya instead, like my very first game here, since I'm England again.

If only you and me and dead people know hex, then only deaf people know hex.

I write RPG adventures, and blog about it, check it out.

Yay, rice, plains cow, and banana for food. Just what I always wanted. At least it's not dry rice.

PB43 spoiler:
If Commodore has once again given me less food than everyone else I'll be pissed off.

Weird. You should have a clam 2E there as well, not sure why it didn't take.

Hmm, I have to pick pretty soon. Do I go for a civ or leader first. I think I'll go civ and just pick randomly from among a few that look interesting. Spain is already gone, so, with very little thought, I've created this list of civs I will randomly choose from when my turn comes:

Rome
Arabia
Mali
England
Carthage
America
Inca

As for leader, I'll just pick randomly from those leaders that have traits that go with my civ's UU and/or UB. So FIN for England, EXP for Inca, etc.

So I got England, which means I want a FIN leader to go with the Stock Exchanges.

Those are:
Darius (ORG)
Elizabeth (PHI)
Hannibal (CHA)
Huayna Capac (IND)
Mansa Musa (SPI)
Pacal II (EXP)
Ragnar (AGG)
Victoria (IMP)
Wang Kon (PRO)
Willem van Oranje (CRE)

I'll choose randomly from those that are available when it's my turn to pick again.

Most culture ship names are too long to fit in the city name textbox, escpecially the good ones. Even something short like "Wit Amidst Folly" wont fit and that's less than half a name.

Yeah, I got a few good ones in 49, mostly from Excession I think, which makes sense, there were so many Ships in that book.

However, since I'm England, I'm going to go with an Enya naming theme in honour of my very first game here at RB, in which I was also England.

I randomized my list of leaders, and got this result:
Ragnar (AGG)
Victoria (IMP)
Pacal II (EXP)
Willem van Oranje (CRE)
Elizabeth (PHI)
Huayna Capac (IND)
Hannibal (CHA)
Wang Kon (PRO)
Darius (ORG)
Mansa Musa (SPI)

So unless Ragnar is picked next, that's who I'll go with.
