Problems in new colony names

June 1, 2017 10:30:09 AM from Offworld Trading Company ForumsOffworld Trading Company Forums

Hi, I am not being (too much) grammar police, but I find some awkwardness in several randomly-generated colony names.

  • New Novgorod
    It's not technically wrong, only that "Novgorod" literally means "new city" in Russian. Imagine a city whose name is "New New York".
  • New Yaroslavi
    Probably you meant "Yaroslavl" as there is no city named "Yaroslavi" in Russia to my knowledge.
  • New Xian
    Probably you meant "Xi'an" as there is no city named "Xian" in China to my knowledge.

Just say it's a Futurama Reference.
