Ok I searched this one up and I’m pretty sure no ones asked this before.
Now I don’t know if anyone else does this in RTS games but…
I usually will assemble all my higher level units and dor roleplaying reasons I will name them as a little squad
E.g. Had 3 tanks in company of heros 2 called them the spear tips. They where quickly blown up but their legacy lives on
In stone hearth I’m hinting of taking 5 sperate men and calling them the Hearthknights…or something like that name still in progress much like the game
Anyone else done or plan on doing something like this?
Yeah but it’s more of an unofficial thing I do for RP to make it feel like the squad or section has a bit of meaning rather then just. “Rifle squad” or “Expendable useless dudes”
Explorers I usually name Dora squad
Age of empires 2
Boldly going where no unit has gone before
im assuming you’re talking about naming them “in your head”, as opposed to actually in-game, yes? as far as we know so far, there will be limited (micro) controls for the military units, but its unlikely you would be able to name a selection of units…
You can so name a group something awesome because it’s just plain awesome.
Would you rather face a group called the Gemini, the Phoenix Order, or the bucket heads?
Yeah you can but I’m just saying I usally give them a name related to something they did or a particular feature. If they looked awesome yes. Perhaps “the swagsters” would be a sufficient unitname
Besides, at least losing to the Phoenix Order has DIGNITY. Imagine returning to your homeland with tales of the fearsome “Bucket Heads,” You’d be laughed right out of town…
