Girlfriend Pretenders
 

How many people have named your female pretenders after your girlfriends? I noticed Kasnavada name his pretender "Claire" in the MP game we're currently in together, which of course does not seem to inspire the fear and terror that a god of Abysia might otherwise be entitled to. Even funnier was when he lost her on the second turn or so to some independents...

But I'm not one to talk, as my goddess of bloody Sauromatia is called Frannabelle, for my girlfriend Francesca.

I wonder how many other innapropriate names we've all had for our goddesses, just so we could tittilate ourselves by living the fantasy that our girlfriends may one day be part of our Dominions 3 experience?

In TigerCat I have a warrior mage (knight mage) named "Lady Karin" after my girlfriend Karin. I'm playing MA Ulm so it fits alright. She even knows and approves of the whole thing.
Oh, and if ever her beloved avatar should get killed she will personally take care of that person. Just so you know. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

I named a virtue after my wife Mona. OH THE IRONY.

Re: Girlfriend Pretenders
 

Hum, she's not named after my girlfriend at all, since I don't have any. She's named after the main heroine of Claymore (an manga by Norihiro Yagi).

If you've seen the anime version or read the manga, even her appearance would make a bit of sense.

And, it wasn't just some undead, it was 3 skellies spamming death mage + 20 or so longdeads. A bit harsh for a battle during the second turn. I've disposed of them since, and got a pretty good death site from it !

Well, I don't have any pretenders named after my girlfriend(since I don't have one http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif ), but Yoth'Shothogg(in said game with Claire and Frannabelle) is a play on Yogg'Shothoth.

The closest I got to naming any unit after someone I know is in the (deceased http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif) Sar Elad mod, where the Sar Eladian name list has many names of people I know (because they have a Hebrew nametype and I live in Israel http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif)

Hey all ^^

I didn't name any unit after one gf, but once i had a poison golem spontaneously called Idro, like a very very VERY old man of my lil' town ^^ Seeing him in the hall of fame with thousands of kills was pretty astonishing... the old man was so slow, peaceful... o_O

Re: Girlfriend Pretenders
 

I modeled a vampire queen after my wife and named her Lillith (my wifes favorite login and email address). She was flattered by it.

Nothing ever came of it though for two reasons. The first is that Im too RPG and have a thing against playing female characters so I could never choose that one to play. And Im not about to create an AI around it because it would definetly affect my play if I ever ran up against her. Too bad we cant fully ally with the AI. We can ally with each other and the AIs can ally with each other. We can ally with AI (which I have used to my advantage in some solo games) but we cant get the AI to ally with a player.

Sounds like you need to get your wife to play coop with you, Gandalf.

Re: Girlfriend Pretenders
 

I probably should try again to get her interested. She has a particular affinity to Cthulhu so if I talk up Rlyeh I might have a chance.

Re: Girlfriend Pretenders
 

I have a habit of naming various pretenders after my young daughter. The idea of the cute little toddler actually being an aspect of a godlike undead creature has a certain appeal. For example, neither sleeps or cares about their bodily functions. Unfortunately, if my wife was to realize what I was naming after the child, I may find myself in trouble, so I have the opposite incentive Gandalf does to get the wife playing…

Re: Girlfriend Pretenders
 

AHahah.

I name my pretenders off characters I've played. My fiance. And friends.

I dare someone to use the Great Mother chassis and their wifes/GF's name http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Girlfriend Pretenders
 

I name mine after players I have defeated.

No names yet http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif

Re: Girlfriend Pretenders
 

How about naming them after your mistresses?

Re: Girlfriend Pretenders
 

How about naming your children after units/pretenders of the game? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

Re: Girlfriend Pretenders
 

I still wouldnt feel right doing it for my pretender (which I tend to think of as being me) but I can see it for favorite support units. Mages, healers, maybe a prophet.

Re: Girlfriend Pretenders
 

I can tell none of you are old married men.

If I told my bigger half that I named a pretender for her the best I could hope for is a look of snide derision combined with a chill factor that would permanently erase Abyssia, all 3 eras, from the game files.

Re: Girlfriend Pretenders
 

Hmmm how old would that have to be?
Im 52 and have been married for 31 years. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Girlfriend Pretenders
 

I'll occasionally use my wife's name for a Pretender. Usually the Great Sorceress, but yes, I've already named the Great Mother chassis after her, and yes, with her knowledge.

We've been married going on 3 years.

I wish i had a girlfriend

Re: Girlfriend Pretenders
 

I just enjoy naming the Gorgon "Courtney Love"..... She's like my ultimate anti-GF. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/redface.gif

Re: Girlfriend Pretenders
 

Well, maybe Gorgon is really good looking, you know? You get all stoned up when you look her... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/redface.gif

Re: Girlfriend Pretenders
