[QUOTE="Wik, post: 3564676, member: 40177"] Maps are great and all, but they never really excited me. I mean, it's all about the locations... maps themselves just arn'e that amazing. As for the names... yeah, they're generic fantasy. Makes sense, though - they AREN'T trying to reinvent the wheel (as has been stated), and some people just get annoyed when the names are too.... unique. And, really, look at our own world - there are plenty of weird, stupid names. Hell, in Canada alone, we have: 1) Medicine Hat 2) Moose Jaw 3) Thunder Bay 4) The Rocky Mountains 5) Lake Huron Not to mention all the names that had Native influences that, I'm sure, players would roll their eyes at if they had heard them around the game table: Niagara, Haida Gwai (in BC), and Saskatchewan. Really, any name sounds stupid if you analyze it too much. [/QUOTE]
