+====== Class Names ======
+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", 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
+		};
+		type = "NameCity";
+		speech[] =
+		{
+			"Elektrozavodsk"
+		};
+		radiusA = 200.0;
+		radiusB = 200.0;
+		angle = 0.0;
+	};
+...
+</code>
+====== 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
+		};
+</code>
+====== Type ======
+ArmA class names types:
+<code cpp>
+type = "BorderCrossing";
+type = "Hill";
+type = "NameCity";
+type = "NameCityCapital";
+type = "NameLocal";
+type = "NameMarine";
+type = "NameVillage";
+type = "RockArea";
+type = "VegetationBroadleaf";
+type = "VegetationFir";
+type = "VegetationPalm";
+type = "VegetationVineyard";
+type = "ViewPoint";
+</code>
+ArmA 2 class names types:
+<code cpp>
+type = "Airport";
+type = "CityCenter";
+type = "FlatArea";
+type = "FlatAreaCity";
+type = "FlatAreaCitySmall";
+type = "Hill";
+type = "NameCity";
+type = "NameCityCapital";
+type = "NameLocal";
+type = "NameMarine";
+type = "NameVillage";
+type = "StrongpointArea";
+type = "VegetationBroadleaf";
+type = "VegetationFir";
+</code>
+====== Speech ======
+<code cpp>
+		speech[] =
+		{
+			"Chernogorsk"
+		};
+</code>
+====== Neighbors ======
+<code cpp>
+		neighbors[] =
+		{
+			"ACityC_Prigorodki", "ACityC_Balota", "ACityC_Nadezhdino", "ACityC_Mogilevka"
+		};
+</code>
+====== Demography ======
+<code cpp>
+		demography[] =
+		{
+			"CIV", 0.0, "CIV_RU", 0.0
+		};
+</code>
+====== Radius ======
+These locations also are affiliated with radius to define the size, they are **radiusA** and **radiusB**.
+<code cpp>
+radiusA = 100;
+radiusB = 100;
+</code>
+====== Angle ======
+<code cpp>
+angle = 305.903;
+</code>
+====== Locations Summary ======
+**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.
+====== Notes ======
