    High Spec Main Hall ?



    Citadel ?
    Look what these bastards have done to Wales. They've taken our coal, our water, our steel. They buy our homes and live in them for a fortnight every year. What have they given us? Absolutely nothing. We've been exploited, raped, controlled and punished by the English — and that's who you are playing this afternoon Phil Bennett's pre 1977 Rugby match speech

    I know; question mark was when wondering if there'd be any takers for the name. Cheers for the explanation nonetheless.

    I agree with "Curia Regis". Best option IMHO.

    Yeah, I think that's my favorite so far as well.

    I'm curious as to when they'll officially set up a poll to decide the new name.

    Should this be polled? Or are the mods meeting in their secret garb to discuss it?

    I think we should do what econ suggested, and wait for the game to come out and then see if there isn't a building in the game we could name the forum after.

    Although I suppose it could always be renamed afterwards...

    In which case, I suppose "The Keep", "The Great Hall" and "The Grand Hall" are all okay, though not especially attractive. "Citadel" sounds okay, but is it really an appropriate name for a forum?

    How's about "Curia Regis" or King's Court/Council?

    Otherwise the Great Hall has a generally appropriate ring to it.

    I have to say Basilica is my favorite name but I'm not sure which sub-forum should be named it (oops, early). Something Latin or closely derived from Latin would be nice too.

    I'd like to use the name of in-game buildings if possible. A few stood out from the screenshots so far:

    Masons Guild - for developing mods? (like the Forge)
    Alchemists Guild - for discussing mods or mod techniques?
    Assassins Guild - for multiplayer?

    But I don't know any names for the more central buildings.

    Dominus means master,not god (well maybe unless you type dominus with a capital letter,then it meens : Lord,but then you are speaking what we call 'church Latin' which is often not correct:P)

    How about:
    The Baron's Solar (or just The Solar)
    The Guildhall (I read that guildhalls are going to be in M2)
    The Gatehouse
    The Bailey
    The Guard Room

    I personally like "The Gatehouse".
