Hi All,


How about giving the continents in the game map names?

Wouldn't that provide a more immersive experience?


Continent names could be given in the map editor (e.g. if mapping Earth, the regular continent names could be used)

or generated randomly with some sort of logic.


This way, the "Map Continent" and "Conquer Continent" and "Influence Continent" deeds could all include the continent name in the notification when some empire completes them.

It would help you to know not to try completing that same deed for that specific continent.


The continent names could be visible on the main map or on the society map, by adding one more zoom out position,

to help you know which is which.


What are your thoughts about this idea?

I'd suggest to ask the first player to map a continent to give it a name, or else make it random.
It's also possible to give the possible once a threshold has been reached, to avoid the classic „one tile of mountain you can't see“.

The continents do have a name, but the game don't show it in many places... when you get a deed like "Conquer Perseus" there is a continent named Perseus. Which one is it? Who knows!?

Yeah, the continents are auto-named after constellations, just as the territories are named after stars.  (As an astronomy hobbyist, I find this very distracting, but that's a matter for another thread! ^^; )


It might be neat if the continent names were revealed on the absolute furthest out zoom, replacing empire names with huge continent names instead.

Hi, nice suggestion, just concern on who decides the name, like imagine there are 5 players on the continent.

I quite like the current naming convention of continents.

My only concern is that those names are not displayed anywhere.

Please, is it possible to display them on the Main Map

by zooming-out one more scroll-position?

Also, I would move the Wonders to that zoomed-out Main Map.

See this thread: https://www.games2gether.com/amplitude-studios/humankind/forums/169-game-design-and-ideas/threads/49425-why-are-wonders-on-the-society-map

Thank you very much.
