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

    The Congress?

    Parliament
    Estates-General

    ...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

    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 like these as well. woad&fangs's suggestions of Port Royal and The Crow's Nest are also good.

    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.

    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.

    I like The Parliament or Parliament Square.

    I also liked all the Imperial ideas but they just seemed to specific.

    Excellent notions. I'm partial to the latter.

    What about the General Assembly for the single player discussion? And the Drill Square as the multiplayer discussion forum, with the University holding the guides, going by the structure of the M2TW forums?
    At the end of the day politics is just trash compared to the Gospel.

    Seeing as this period was the true beginning of professional armies, I'd say The Academy, or Millitary Academy.

    Thinking along the lines of the Coffeehouse, you could name it the Opium Hut

    The location that made armies, armies; the drill square.

    EDIT: I didnt notice that Rhyfelwyr had already suggested the same name but then again two independent sources are better than one!
