Fictional cities and the cities.txt file
First off, thanks for the Customization Guide ( and the great Game Guide). I have a couple of questions.
1) I want to add some fictional cities to the cities.txt file. I remember reading about some spelling rules. St. Louis has to be Saint Louis, for example. Does that still apply? I see that hyphens are allowed. How about the apostrophe? 2) Are the latitude and longitude numbers only used for contract negotiations, as mentioned in the guide? Are they used anywhere else in the game (like setting up divisions, for example)? Thanks in advance for any help.

You could also use St Louis for St. Louis (no period).
Apostrophes look ok. I have St John's in my league.

Steve -
I noticed in another thread that treedom added some "missing" Canadian cities. He has St. Catharines and Sault Ste. Marie in his list (both using the period). I don't know if he, or anyone else, has used it in a game yet. Also, how important is the latitude and longitude? Is it used anywhere in the game other contract negotiations? Thanks.

Minor threadjack alert...
Regarding the latitude-longitude: I have a completely fictional world that I'm trying to import into 2006 and I want to incorporate my cities file into cities.txt. Now, while I have a hand-drawn map of the world, I don't have anything approaching lat/long for any city in the 200 or so I have in my list. The customization guide says they're required. But the amount of work it would take to actually decide on a world size and lat/long system doesn't excite me. What would the fine customization gurus suggest doing in this situation?

Warning: I suggest you create a basic league with these settings and sim a bit, just to make sure nothing odd crops up, before you go about creating the league just as you want it. I've never actually tried this before. |

Thanks, Steve and Questdog.
I'd noticed the cities with no lat/long, which was one of the questions I asked. And believe me, I'm going to do a *lot* of simming before I continue on with the league import in any real capacity.
