Very interesting name... 1869...

but i don't really want to know how Max Design came upon this name :blink: [/b][/quote]
Why not?
In 1869 the Suez Canal was opened, shortening the way from Europe to India by about 7000km, as ships didn't have to go around all of Africa anymore. That was quite an impressive milestone in the history of seafare, that's why Maxis probably chose the name.
