I agree 100% with stethnorun and Baleurion. The current random name generator is pretty lame. There is an old Games workshop stategy game, Mighty Empires I think was the name, it used multiple tables to product names, so if you were creating a city you would roll first to find out how many elements the name contained.

I am very excited at the potential of the game, but I have not tried playing it since Monday; this was the first Stardock game I bought and I was underwhelmed by the experience.
