Re-naming the forum
(Original suggestion courtesy of Monk):
The forums for the other Total War titles all have their own names -- the Sword Dojo for Shogun, Main Hall for Medieval, Colosseum for Rome, etc. Now that we're getting closer to Empire's release, perhaps it's time to give this place a more specific name of its own as well.
What should this forum be called? The floor is now open to suggestions!

Re: Re-naming the forum
Well since i guess you called me out Martok i'll offer up the first suggestion.
Since this is the first TW game to include naval battles, the Shipyard might work well. The Barracks, if a little generic, could also fit. Looking forward to the suggestions of others for this!
Re: Re-naming the forum
Parliament
The Palace
The Galley
Re: Re-naming the forum
I like The Parliament, Mailman. Good one. Maybe The National Assembly, The Estates-General, The Directory, too, would be ok. But Mailman's The Parliament is cool.
Re: Re-naming the forum
Hmmm maybe....
Playhouse?
edit: or what ever play houses were called back then
and for the mod forum Davinchi's Workshop ;)

Re: Re-naming the forum
Well, if it's Empire Total War, maybe we should go with an Imperial... something.
Imperial Chancellory?
Imperial House?
Imperial... ummm... Brewery?

Re: Re-naming the forum
Horse Guards but this could be a little too British
Sergeants Mess
Parade Ground
Company House, a nod towards the importance of trade in the game
Re: Re-naming the forum
I really like the Parliament as well. Thirded!
I think Chancellery would work well too!
Re: Re-naming the forum
Some great suggestions, guys! Keep 'em coming!
Thus far, I would have to say that The Estates-General is probably my personal favorite, with the Chancellery and Parliament rounding out my top three choices. About the only idea I can think of myself would be The Docks (or possibly The Dockyard), but I like these three better.

To enrage those disappointed with the focus on the American experiment in the game...
The Congress?

Re: Re-naming the forum
Yeah, taking all suggestions into mind so far, my top three choices are(in no specific order):
Parliament
Estates-General
Brewery ()

...Or Parliament sounds good too.
Why did the chicken cross the road?
So that its subjects will view it with admiration, as a chicken which has the daring and courage to boldly cross the road,
but also with fear, for whom among them has the strength to contend with such a paragon of avian virtue? In such a manner is the princely
chicken's dominion maintained. ~Machiavelli
Re: Re-naming the forum
I, for one, think that the Crusty Monkey Tavern is an excellent name.
Ah, Tropico 2...your random names never cease to delight me.
The Elucidated Brethren of the Ebon Night has a nice ring to it, too. Very 18th-century secret-society-y.

I still support my theory that the mod forum should be called davinchi's workshop

Re: Re-naming the forum
I agree.
The overall one at least.
The Academy/The Military Academy are my suggestions, but I support the Chancellory as well.
Re: Re-naming the forum
Ship of the Line theme:
Beakhead
Crows Nest
Spar Deck
Gun Deck
Orlop Deck
Quarter Deck
Poop Deck
Quarter Gallery
maybe those guys should be doing something more useful...
Re: Re-naming the forum
How about The Colony? Since this is a fan forum and not the main I figure this fits well
"No one said it was gonna be easy! If it was, everyone would do it..that's who you know who really wants it."
All us men suffer in equal parts, it's our lot in life, and no man goes without a broken heart or a lost love. Like holding your dog as he takes his last breath and dies in your arms, it's a rite of passage. Unavoidable. And honestly, I can't imagine life without that depth of feeling.-Bierut
Re: Re-naming the forum
I like The Barracks, The Depot or The Parade.
Or The Quarterdeck if we decide to go nautical. The game is still mostly about land combat though...

Re: Re-naming the forum
I like these as well. woad&fangs's suggestions of Port Royal and The Crow's Nest are also good.

Or maybe Marsonland or Neltokland.

Royal Court
Parliamentary Council
Town Hall

Re: Re-naming the forum
Well, if it needs to be in line with the names on the other sub-forums, then it should be an imposant building where decision-makers met. Though I love the nautical stuff, I think it would be lopsided...
So I concur on "the parliament", or if it needs to be a broader european scope perhaps The Council Chambers or Chancellory.

Re: Re-naming the forum
It's odd, because I don't have this problem when thinking of actual Parliaments, but the forum name The Parliament just gets me thinking all Funkadelic.
I personally like the Chancellory.
Re: Re-naming the forum
The Coffeehouse.
Re: Re-naming the forum
I like The Parliament or Parliament Square.
I also liked all the Imperial ideas but they just seemed to specific.
Re: Re-naming the forum
Excellent notions. I'm partial to the latter.
