+Class Names **Types**
 In terrains you can name locations / positions, usually cities and other important populated places. Also these locations can help scripts to find out flat areas and such.
-These are in your terrain's config.cpp under the name "class names".
+These are in your terrain's config.cpp under the name "class names", for example here is ArmA 2 Chernarus config.cpp example:
+<code cpp>
+class Names
+{
+	class city_Chernogorsk
+	{
+		name = "$STR_LOCATION_CHERNOGORSK";
+		position[] =
+		{
+.21, 2554.13
+		};
+		type = "NameCityCapital";
+		speech[] =
+		{
+			"Chernogorsk"
+		};
+		radiusA = 300.0;
+		radiusB = 300.0;
+		angle = 0.0;
+	};
+	class city_Elektrozavodsk
+	{
+		name = "$STR_LOCATION_ELEKTROZAVODSK";
+		position[] =
+		{
+.72, 2159.41
+		};

+		radiusA = 200.0;
+		radiusB = 200.0;
+		angle = 0.0;
+	};

+====== Config Class Prefixes ======
+BIS uses config class name prefixes like: AAirport_, ACityC_, AFlat_, AFlatC_, AFlatCS_, airport_, AStrong_, city_, hill_, local_ (and Local_ but I don't think case matters?), V_ (vegetation), veg_, vill_, w_ and water_
+====== Name ======
+Name is simply the text string of the name of this location.
+<code cpp>
+		name = "$STR_LOCATION_CHERNOGORSK";
+</code>
+In this Chernarus example it uses stringtable to pull the name string so it can automatically translate it to different languages etc.
+====== Position ======
+Position is normal 2D coordinate for this location.
+<code cpp>
+		position[] =
+		{
+.71, 8645.9
+		};

+**class names locations**
+  * CityCenter with neighbors array
+  * StrongpointArea around the city on defensive manner, 3-5 or so.
+  * FlatAreaCity one in the center of the city if possible, but any FLAT area will do.
+  * FlatAreaCitySmall in the city, flat areas, 1-3 about.
+  * FlatArea is area for placing bases/camps etc no nearby objects and flat surface if possible.
