What should we name our first settlement, should we ever get to that point? Is it too early to start thinking about that?

I don't think we've broached the subject before, but I don't see why we can't talk about it now.
I propose:
Freistadt (Free City) Zhizhni (Life) Ympyrä (Circle, Ring) Osnovy (Foundation)

Nice suggestions, Hrod.
How about Unitas (Unity)?

Karter... please look at that word and tell me you're not expecting juvenile nicknames for our town.

I like Ympyrä and Osnovy. We're right on the border of Ustalav, so they feel like they'd fit in with the local culture.

I'm a huge fan of Cyrillic languages and the Northern Finn-Swede-Norwegian languages. I love Welsh too, but it doesn't translate all that well to city-names.

"Rinki" would be a synonym for "Ympyrä". It also contains an implicit reference that the "Rinki" (potentially) consists of people, which I kinda like. It might also be easier for the majority of the player base to handle.

What's the etymology of the word "Rinki"? It sounds Altaic. Or possibly Scandanavian.

My only concern with Rinki: Rinky Dink connotations. Slang we may not want associated with our capital.

I also like Ympyrä, though how do you pronounce that?
And the joy of finding names that you can't play with, like the poor town we have in our area called Moro.

Looking it up again...
"Imp-ehr-ah" - but roll that R a little.
