Discussion for Guidelines for the President/VP

[Spiffor]

Vondrack : I agree we must rename systematically all units to keep track more easily. I say we have a system of simple renaming (worker #1, numidian #6 etc.), and we give cool names to these units when we want to. This will allow an easier reference when we'll have a bunch of units (of course, I say we give cool names to our few early units)

Could you please add something like this to the first post of the Presidential thread?

Done.

I would not object using a simple numbering system, allowing to give selected units special names, whenever we like. I would just prefer to use 1st Worker, 7th Archers, 3rd Mercenaries... it's publicly known I am an "immersion guy" and moving the 5th Horsemen is simply better than moving the Horsemen #5 for me...

Yes, thinking of it, I would vote for using the "1st Worker" naming system, with various units receiving special names, whenever we see fit (e.g. in reward for their brave deeds/achievements).

Numbering in a 1st xxxxx fashion is probably the easiest for general use. For more specific operations, such as military operations, perhaps we should name those units differently to show which ones would be involved. For example, say we're running "Operation Stormbuster," we could name the pertinent units "1st SB Archers," just so they would be easily recognized as being set aside for that purpose.

And, of course, units that have gained fame throughout the land can get more personal names.

Oh, and someday in the far future, I suggest we name our first ICBM "The Hammer of Legos."

OK, 1st Numidian instead of Numidian #1 is no problem for me
