Martian Town Names
Posted: 14 Feb 2013 12:58
I originally posted this in the Martian Industries thread, but decided to separate it out so it would have its own bug tracking.
In the testing of Martian Industries, I had been using the Latin town names grf to give it a slightly more Martian feel, but I decided that I could put together a town grf of my own pretty quickly while waiting for a blizzard to hit. I assembled the names taken from various lists in Wikipedia, broken them down into components in a CSV, then wrote an ugly build script to assemble the NML.
I finally got it uploaded to Bananas. Give it a try for your next Mars game, or if you just want to have names like Olympus Mons and Mare Aurorae.
