Introduction and Call for Proposals

479 Views

I have decided to plunge into SC4 CJ-ing again and, while this is likely to be slow in its development and initially rough around the edges, now is as good a time as any to start showcasing the progress!
 
The CJ will be a 'realistic', natural growth project (i.e. no RCI ploppables other than earned rewards) on a modified version of the NHP Jacksonville Metro map (original available ) by blade2k5. The region is 10 x 10 large tiles in size.
 
I use the following terrain and tree controller mods:

  • a modified version of CP's Meadowshire Terrain Mod (original here; SC4D LEX);
  • the original version of the SHK Peg Brigantine HD watermod ();
  • the HD riverside beachmod by Marsh (); 
  • dogfight's Dark Limestone Rock Mod () and
  • The seasonal god mode tree controller by Vortext (SC4D LEX here).

The development of the region is progressing quite well, but I'm a little stuck on names and am accordingly putting out a 'call for proposals'!  :)
 
I'd really appreciate your input in this regard as I'm a little lacking in the creativity department when it comes to naming things (other than dogs, it would seem).
 
In particular, if you can come up with and submit names for the ten islands in the main river on this map (click for larger resolution):

The context within which they appear are depicted below (click for larger resolution):

They lie in the river delta area and will mostly remain undeveloped conservation / preservation areas.
 
I'd also appreciate it if you'd submit proposals for the water features A - H (rivers, bays, inlets, lagoons, etc.)
 
A: The main river
B: A minor tributary
C: A lagoon / bay
D: A bay (and likely location of a naval base)
E: A minor tributary
F: A minor tributary
G: A bay (and likely location for the main harbour / port)
H: A minor tributary with a lagoon
 
I look forward to your input / proposals and to sharing this journey with you all! 
 
Thanks for reading!

Try visiting this site http://behindthename.com/random/, It could be helpful if you want to name the islands after explorers or leaders of your country. I could maybe help more if I knew what the islands culture/heritage is (i.e Dutch, Japanese ,etc.), because the islands may be named in that language. Hope that helps...

Number 10 looks like a 'Hewitt Island' don't ask me how I got that......but I did.  

 

Good luck with the others

Thanks for the link! Very useful indeed! 

 

The cultural undertones, if you will, of the region as a whole is historically European (British, French, Dutch, German). The main themes will be around Freedom, Equality and Dignity, and this will only really become apparent as the CJ progresses and the story unfolds (the twists and turns of which even I am not yet aware!)
