Re: Funny units names
I made a complete list of F.U.N (anyone else noticed this acronyme?), and I thought we could make a vote for the best unit name. What do you say? Anyway here's the list, I underlined my 5 favourites:

Oh, I'm sorry, did I break your concentration?

Hey I'm a mighty Paladin, I save poor people, I slay evil, I'm a good guy, and my name is Sin
Seriously, should some devs go remove the names? No Sin for Paladin, White Mage, Mage of Light... (good guys) and no Man for female units, and no Ssex or similar please...

Re: Funny units names
I don't know if you can remove specific names, in fact I'm pretty sure you can't. It's not like the random name generator is just a huge collection of complete names someone made up. It randomly combines syllables that make sense together so that you [hopefully] never get the same name twice.
Re: Funny units names
In that case, can we tell the generator not to combines certain syllables together? Like "X" will nerver come after "Se", "Sse", "See",...
Or we can tell the generator if it came up with "Ssex", "Seex", "Ssexx" or similar, it will ignore the name and generate a new one?
I'm no developer, so I could be wrong though...

Re: Funny units names
not in wml, as far as I know. But I suppose it -could- be possible through C++ engine modification. Not sure it is worth it, though...

Re: Funny units names
Definitely worth it ! Of course this could means tons/little of coding? (As I said before, I'm no developer) Either ways, I support this.Dixie wrote:...Not sure it is worth it, though...

Well it's agreed that all Wose names are weird.

Re: Funny units names
Well, I'm translating BfW into Hebrew, and I've noticed that in some cases, the woses' and trolls' for example, it does exactly that: it chooses from a big collection of made up names. And another thing: some of the wose names are from LotR (Bregalad, for example).Captain_Wrathbow wrote:I don't know if you can remove specific names, in fact I'm pretty sure you can't.

I take it you haven't seen the old Disney films about a Vicar named Dr. Syn? (yep, pronounced like sin)hhyloc wrote:

If it's good enough for a vicar, I can't see a White Mage complaining.
An unfortunate coincidence that I wouldn't worry about.And another thing: some of the wose names are from LotR (Bregalad, for example).

Not me, but freenode's gateway management service introduced me to this name from Norse mythology, not to be confused with the TCP message.Joram wrote:I take it you haven't seen the old Disney films about a Vicar named Dr. Syn? (yep, pronounced like sin)

But the evil guys will complain because a White Mage already taken a cool nameJoram wrote: If it's good enough for a vicar, I can't see a White Mage complaining.
Beside, as shadowmaster pointed out, "Syn" doesn't mean "sin"
