Fourex University  
Civilization University

**Latin Motto:**  
Explorate, Expandate, Explotate, Exterminate (Explotate is not actually Latin.)  
Explorate, Expandate, Exercerete, Exterminate  
\*\*

“Our graduates rule.”  
“Enter to learn. Go forth to conquer.”

“Fourex” is a brand of Beer here in Australia, so probably not the best one to go with.

I’d go with:

_University of Turn-Based Civilisation_ or something along those lines?

As for the Latin Motto:

_Ab Pyroballistae fundo ab Gladius_ (“The Rifle defeats the sword”; I’m using on-line translators so I’m not sure how grammatically correct that is- Pyroballistae obviously isn’t real Latin but I like the word anyway)

The symbol I’d go with is a glob with a large crown on it. Ha ha, Megalomania! 😃

The various colleges:

College of Science: “Playing with Tesla Coils and Bubbling Beakers Since 1927.”

Leadership: “It’s Good To be The King.”

Economics: “Whoever has the Gold, Makes The Rules”

International Relations: “Don’t make us come over there.”

Mascot: I wouldn’t bother, personally. They’re twee, IMHO.
