Best Civilization Names?
« on: October 06, 2008, 05:04:31 pm »

What are some highlight civs you've managed to randomly generate?  My personal favorite so far?

"The Squid of Fear".

Come on!  I wanna be a citizen of the Squid of Fear.

The Joyous Nightmares. Concentrated oxymoron, anyone?
Thruduguthrombus. Has a nice rhythm to it.
The Swift Forests. The elves are oxymoronating too!
The Mind of Dung. What a dirty mind you have.
The Mortal Union. Someone who understands how the world works at last.
The Humble Empire. Another one!
The Euphoric Nations. Sounds like a nice place to live.

See my sig.  Not my civilization or quote, but still makes me burst out in crazed laughter every time I think about it too much.

Also, "The Ungodly Dread" has a stylish knell to it.

I must say, McDoomhammer's sig always makes me crack up.

Some fun ones I've seen:
The Cruelty of Furs (PETA?)
The Deceiver of Allying (don't trust us...really!)
The Evils of Bejeweling (decorations are a sin!)
The Nation of Diamonds (sounds cool)
The Wooden Griffon (What if we built a large wooden badger? )

Agreed.


Here's a few mildly interesting ones I came across.
The Tongs of Bone - actually makes a certain amount of sense.
The Menace of Fangs worships Sath the Branded Jackal.
The Dutiful Confederation sounds like an efficient lot.
The Sizzling Thorn (a modded race that breathes fire and stabs enemies with venomous tail spikes).
The Wayward Sorrows - another modded race.  They're supposed to move into random cities and eat the inhabitants.
The Sensitive Fortress - Aaarg, they trampled our engravings!  *Tantrums.*

My favorite civ name would have to be The Mansions of War.  Ironically, they were at peace with everyone.  Since it was a dwarven civ, I immediately embarked with the group The House of Conflict (custom made).

Newly generated world:

The Dread of Paging
&
The Poetic Pages

The Unions of Slapping

The Sullen Murder

The Armored Kingdom of Rhyme
That's just such an anticlimactic last part.

The Tapered Axe

The Brilliance of Hearts

And then the two best ones:

The Realms of Jester

The Master of Stars
