    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.

    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?

    How about the Redoubt for the singleplayer, and maybe the Foundry or the Steelworks or some such Industrial Revolution themed name for the modding forum?

    As for the multiplayer, surely the only appropriate name would be the Duelling Field?

    I really like the Coffee House, during the period they were the places to be, full of debate and controversy

    It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles. Then, the victory is yours. It cannot be taken from you, not by angels or by demons, heaven or hell.

    That's definitely my new favourite. It's a nice continuation of the Citadel.

    The Redoubt sprung to mind for me also.

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

    I suggested that as well, then I remembered thats the name for the Multiplayer Section in M2TW. So for uniqueness' sake, I think we will leave that alone.

    Well we arn't really to stage of even having a single player and multi player seperate discussional areas are we?

    I mean conservatievely speaking (without delays ) the game is slated for Feb , so you still have a solid 3 months until you are a month away from release. I mean it's not like this forum is over flowing with information at the moment. Sure we get random interview every 2 weeks and a dev diary now and then. I mean does that really warrant seperate forums at the moment tho?

    Just thoughts

    I'd like to put forward another vote in support of The Parliament.

    I also feel like we should try and encorporate the Industrial side of things somehow. What about The Factory or The Factory Floor?

    The Parliament works well with Mutiplayer I feel. Factory Floor has a mod related feel about it.

    Also does anyone like the name The Embassy or The Imperial Embassy?

    I was simply pointing out that another sub-forum already is using The Academy.

    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!

    The Mollyhouse?

    Very period. Very wrong.
    Gentlemen should exercise caution and wear stout-sided boots when using the Fintry-Kyle Escape Apparatus. Ladies, children, servants and those of a nervous disposition should be strongly encouraged to seek other means of hurried egress.

    The formal bit: Any views or opinions expressed here are those of the poster and do not necessarily represent the views or opinions of The Creative Assembly or SEGA.

    You could also have things like:

    The War Office
    The Admiralty
    The Ministry (Of War)

    I don't think Parliament gives the real focus of the game as that gives the impression of lots of old fat people shouting, falling asleep and calling each other names.

    For Multiplayer I would just call it The Field
