I like ian's: czecho-slovak fragmentation

yes sounds the best. "Czecho-Slovakia, fragmentation" sounds better to me because it has complet names of both countries in...
but if this is too complicated or comma in name is bad thing I agreed with ian´s idea.

this is good notice, ian and thanks for it

well, what about "Czecho-Slovakia, fragmentation"?

Oneyed

I don't think the title should have a comma in it.

Name change to me doesn't matter one way or another but I think it should be without the comma.

Could also do "Fragmentation of Czecho-Slovakia"

The latter doesn't answer iancanton's original objection, that people searching alphabetically will be looking under "C" for Czechoslovakia, not "F".

I don't like either. It has become fashionable to hyphenate "Czecho-slovak" in the years since the breakup, but it was NEVER hyphenated while Czechoslovakia still existed.

Here, from the Wikimedia Commons, an example of a Czechoslovak passport, in Czech, Russian, French, and English:

Czechoslovak Fragmentation sounds perfectly adequate. No comma, no hyphen, no partridge in a pear tree. Just Czechoslovak Fragmentation.

[Gilligan]

I agree with the no comma, but I think that the hyphen makes sense. Of course, I don't live there, and don't know the general rule of thumb about it there. But since that they are separated now, it might help to separate with a hyphen here.

[Oneyed]

the hyphen was (is) used in Slovak Republic. here is more about this problem:

PS: must be name written on the map the same as official name of the map or it could stay as it is now (on map)?

Very interesting. That is something I did not know. So it is all your fault....


And I am not a blue nametag, but I think there is no need to change the map. There are plenty of maps out there (Conquer Club in Space, War of the Triple Alliance, etc.) where only a short form of the name appears in the list but the map keeps the whole thing.

Looks wierd with a hyphen. Would look ok if it was czech-slovak, but that s the name of an ex country that i ve always seen written in 1 word.

I think the map was updated with the latest file. Also it is now listed as Czecho Slovak Fragmentation per mapmaker request.

I saw the name change went through.

Here's a tournament for this map, if anyone is interested: viewtopic.php?f=90&t=191739

i confirm that new games are starting with n3 on both praha and bratislava. so far, of the 15 completed games on this map that have used the new xml, starting from Game 12833388, both capitals were attacked successfully in 4 games, praha was the sole capital taken in 3 games and neither capital was occupied in 8 games. there were no games where bratislava was the sole capital taken.
