I like using cards with different costs, but think that the best names for divisions are those indicating a place or a group of people, and not a person of an activity. Then utterances like "last season I was among the Smugglers, but now In the Armory" make sense.

The Elite division either doesn't get a card name, or is named Province or Colony . And after that we have

  • 2 groups costing $7: Bank, King's Court
  • 4 groups costing $6: Grand Market, Fairgrounds, Farmland, Hunting Grounds
  • 8 groups costing $5: Laboratory, Library, Bazaar, Treasury, Wharf, City, Counting House, Vault
  • 16 groups costing $4: Gardens, Smithy, Throne Room, Ironworks, Mining Village, Island, Quarry, Worker's Village, Farming Village, Nomad Camp, Silk Road, Walled Village, Armory, Feodum, Fortress, Plaza
  • 16 groups costing $3: Village, Workshop, Great Hall, Shanty Town, Wishing Well, Fishing Village, Smugglers, Warehouse, Trade Route, Watchtower, Menagerie, Oasis, Tunnel, Black Market, Market Square, Storeroom
  • 16 groups costing <$3: Cellar, Chapel, Courtyard, Secret Chamber, Haven, Lighthouse, Native Village, Hamlet, Poor House, Hovel, Necropolis, Overgrown Estate, Abandoned Mine, Ruined Library, Ruined Market, Ruined Village

There are lots of possibilities for $5 and $4 in particular, but these are the ones I like most as division names.

Cost $0 to $2 are in the same 16-group, and if really a big 32-group is needed it will consist of all those  with cost <$4 above.

ADDED: For season 1 it looks like only the bolded names (down to cost $5) will be needed.

I think, it would be easiest to go without card names and just name the divisions
Division 1
Division 2 Group A/B
Division 3 Group A/B/C/D
...

It's just the most simple solution.

If it ends up going like that, I think it sounds better with and elite division on top, and then Division 1 Group A/B and so on.

How about

A
B1, B2
C1, C2, C3, C4
D1, D2, D3, D4, D5, D6, D7, D8


-> I don't like a special name for top division.
-> I like the simple solution but somehow I prefer "Division C group 2" to "Division 3 group B". Can't say I have a good reason for it though.

Just as good for me.

The number of groups can theoretically grow to 16. Numbers are easier to follow than letters, though letters are good enough to know if you're in a higher position than another player.

That's one reason. I like the letters for division names and numbers for groups within divisions.

This so reminds me of playing soccer.
