Mark Twain once said, “Never try to teach a pig to sing, it’s a waste of time and it annoys the pig.” Besides, a flame like that should get him banned.

I play Civ for the entertainment it gives, I got a life out there, you know.

If you gonna make stupid comments like that you can go to hell, you hear?????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Very friendly .

If you flame other people, you go to Mingapulco.

[zulu9812]

thing is - his anger is misplaced, since he misinterpreted the comment Still, it's not the best start, is it?

[Solver]

I guess so

As for the topic. If they have gone this far, they could have also introduced naming of individual units at your choice, like CtP 2... works almost the same way, not too much of programming, if they've done what's done. A minor wish for PtW.

The renaming of the elite units is pretty snazzy and a step in the right direction. Next up on the wishlist: Landmark naming.

[Solver]

Landmark naming above unit naming?

[N. Machiavelli]

Personal preference, I suppose. Both are desirable, don't get me wrong. But I'd rather have the ability to name important mountain ranges or seas than individual units at the moment. I'd prefer to memorialize the site of a Waterloo rather then the 13th Rifle division.

[Solver]

Maybe... but I sometimes get crazy enough to remember names for landmarks I think of.

[zulu9812]

I think it'd be cool to have your empire broken up into regions. It'd have no effect on gameplay, but it'd be a nice touch.

It's a new feature with 1.29f.

Note to Self: It always helps to read the thread before sharing an observation that has already been discussed.

You think i over reacted? Maybe i did, but i dont regret my answer to something that at first made me VERY pissed off. Like you probably dont know.
Anyway, People (including me) should be careful with their postings, and It would have been better if i just had ignored it all.

Boy, I hope you werent implying that im some kind of a pig with that comment. Because if you were, your act was no different than mine.

[zulu9812]

You're missing the point - Iskander's comment wasn't aimed at you. So you were wrong to flame him, and even if he had been talking about you, it was a mild comment in that context anyway. So i see no justification for what you did.

Don't tell me you're gonna start on miccofl

Hey, hey. Relax.. Why so uptight? I was referring to the person who posted before me. Very creative.

I suppose I have to [b]always[b] use "quotes".

I'd like to be able to name all my armies. Like the 2 armies (now 1 in beta2 version) you get at the start of Vel's Alamo scenario.

Naming ships would be nice too.

If you could change names throughout the game that would be even better! Then I could give a unit a rank (starting with something low) and everytime a it wins a battle I would promote it!

Thats probably the one feature I miss from CTP2 the most

[Thomas Paine]

In a recent conquest game played as the Aztecs, I was afforded ample opportunity to name my units. Just coming up with Aztec-esque monikers added a little bonus frivolity to the game, with names like:
"The Feathered Serpent Brigade,"
"The Obsidian Knife Division," and
"Jaguar Company."
I dunno - maybe I'm just easily amused, but I really liked this little added creative touch to the game. The challenge stems from creating culture-specific titles that hint at authenticity.

...On second thought, perhaps I've been staring at the monitor for too long.
