This may have been suggested a LOOOOONG time ago, but how does everyone feel about bringing back the individual unit naming system? This was around before my time with the very first version of WoL (the old white map), where you could name each individual army (e.g. so instead of having Macemen_2 it could be something like "Mog Cavalry Killer" or "Ironman" or whatever).

I think this would bring a small little bit of humor and fun to everyone's gaming experience, but maybe that's just me.


Thoughts?

It would be fun as long as it didnt get personal or rude names were given to the armys

I completely forgot about Req mentioning that when it came up for discussion again (I think it came up again around the start of 2002).


I guess it's too much to ask for people to keep it clean and respectful....pity.

If you give it a filter, I garauntee you that somebody will figure out how to get around it within the first 10 minutes of it being released.

Rather a pity that people can't keep it clean.

Maximilian: you have right
but its tell you smthg about your opponent, and gives much indivituality to game with "Doomsters at all moggy things" or "revengers of that hurty demons"

It's my experience that it's usually newbs that abuse features like this one. Make it so you have to be level 40, or better yet, make it a perk for those who have the little gold ball by their names. I guarantee you will not have any problems.

I don't like that idea mainly because I know I will never be able to make a donation till Im much older and I would like to give my units difront names, how about it being a perk to do with being in a clan? that way you wouldn't get a newbs, who didn't know what their doing(you have to be level 2+)
