Hey there, so earlier today I was thinking about what I would name my kingdom once the beta comes out.
So, what would you guys call your town/kingdom/empire, and why would you call it that, does that name have any history to it?
I would call it Turinn, because that is the name I use in most civilization roleplays on forums (I seriously think this forum needs a Forum Game or Forum Roleplay category for topic)
really? we didnt have this thread already? congratulations @theEPiK1!
i suppose mine would both inspire fear in my enemies, and admiration from my citizens… im thinking Caldera (2 points for those that know the name… except for @sdee)… some alternatives might be:
The Writer’s Workshop helped me out with a few ideas. Honestly, I didn’t think too much about it until then, I was just going to recycle my names from previous strategy games.
Liyl was the name for a kingdom set in a sea of endless plains, broken only by a distant forest and the massive body of a deceased Titan, named the Titanic Ruin.
Toel was based on top of a series of white cliffs jutting out of woodlands, with the Leporians, a clan of bunny-folk, living nearby. Also faced with Titan problems, pretty much everyone is.
Carbas is a developed, industrial trade city, with a great dam that is used to irrigate crops, store water, and power devices. Definitely my vote for a Steampunk-esque city.
Only Carbas was named purposefully so far; I thought of carbon/charcoal and its role in smelting and steel production and the name fit for me.
Would I use these names for my actual games once my computer is graced with Stonehearthian goodness? I’m not sure. Nearly every game I play is driven by the stories I make for them as I go, so maybe I’ll create more for the chance at a new tale to tell.
Sheesh, quite a Romantic mindset there. You should see my Minecraft games…[quote=“SteveAdamo, post:4, topic:3235”]

Well a Caldera is a feature of a volcano… but if there is a pop culture reference, i’m at a loss, don’t have/watch cable… so search me!! @SteveAdamo
When I was a kid I wrote a series of short stories called the Chronicles of Orthoria (ironically, its name had nothing to do with that similarly titled series by CS Lewis) and though I had developed the names of several nations and political entities, all the stories were principally set in the Kingdom of Chacoon.
Though the stories are only a distant memory to me, I still love using the names “Orthoria” and “Chacoon” in my medieval fantasy myth making. So I’ll probably use one of those.
I’m not sure what to call my kingdom yet, but I wonder why all of you even bother to name yours? I mean, let’s face it, they will have the name of my kingdom soon enough
