Well, I am in a bit of a dilemma here... My map is a medieval based time. And I think Gold is a little too cliche. So.... I was wondering id anyone else on here had better names? (Nothing like Gil, Gold, Silver, etc...)

Good question...
I would just do:
Mission breifing: Minerals = cash on hand, Gas = something else
Then next to every buy this beacon, you have a mineral patch named price.

Who says the person needs to know the name of the currency in the land.

lol... Good point... But, I want it to be something a little different. And I would prefer to have a name for the currency.

Use Pants. Well, in actuallity alot of places used trading as opposed to a consistent currency for awhile. Of course, thats too inconsistent for a money system... Uh.. call them... "Ones".

Do what I do... take a word and remove a letter from it.

Example: Celsius (remove 'u') becomes Celsis (this is the one I use so don't take it! pinch.gif )

That's a great idea... Why didn't I think of that? Oh, wait, that's right... I am not always good like that!

I'll try that!

The way I make up words is I take parts from words I look at and combine them together. Just pick up a book flip to a random page, look at a word and remember the first three letters or so, than flip to another page and finish it or add on again. It usually gets some pretty good names for things.

Well, I was going to suggest "Bel", not realising that it's already been used...
Ah well.

"Tics"
"Bees" [ Hey, doesn't "That X costs X bees" sound nice? ]
"Lits"
"Cors"
