Reservoirs and Granaries

[meepleater]

I don't know if cistern would be right, as the idea that they are naturally formed, not built. i think I mentioned in the story that they were filled up by heavy rains. But, if others agree I'll change it *again*.

Btw, does anyone know of an alternative name to irrigator?

From what you've described, I think Ponds could possibly be better.  Reservoirs sounds better, but it's up to you.  We've been kicking around the aquaduct idea in the Roman Influence expansions thread.  Maybe that would work for your irrigator?

It's not an aqueduct (but I had considered that). I agree, reservoirs sounds better, I'll just leave it the way it is for now.

(btw, for the roman influence expansion, I remember having an idea which I liked, but disregaded it as being "too roman". As soon as a roman influence expansion is made, I can't for the life of me remember what the idea was

Then I guess the technical term we are looking for is "puddle," or perhaps, "really big puddle." I think that sounds nice, don't you? Really Big Puddles and Grainaries  Aw yeah.
 
As for naming the follower played on the water feature... With the story you have now I think you should stick with "boatman" or change it to "boater," since in the story the water is only there as a result of the rain and the followers are there just for the fun of it.

If, however, you want to change the story, and say the people built cisterns (or reservoirs) to guard against drought or something, then it makes more sense to call the water feature in question a cistern, and the follower on that feature a "mason."

Keep thinking!  We could use some ideas.

What do people think; should I:

*change reservoirs to cisterns, change the artwork and the story to fit
*change reservoirs to cisterns, don't change anything
*change reservoirs back to ponds
*leave it as reservoirs, change the artwork and the story to fit
*don't change anything

I would appreciate your input...

[CKorfmann]

I'm thinking ponds just because I think it fits the artwork, not because it was my idea.  I guess it fits the story pretty well.

[meepleater]

I think I'm inclined to agree with you, just making sure no one disagrees?

How about 'Aquaducts and Granaries'.    - Only joking haven't been here for a while so just thought I would add to the confusion. But got yo admit Cisterns just wouldn't be my choice - reminds me too much of a loo. Even 'Waterways & Graneries' has a better ring to it.
Don't forget that Carc might need some stage 4  water restrictions to cope with any drought.

I think I should probably finish this up, so I left reservoirs at it is. I added an example for reservoir scoring. I don't think irrigator is too modern a term, it is a waterer.

Unless someone else has a major problem with reservoirs, here is is: http://www.mediafire.com/?oyzzzrz3yzy
