Re: Adjusting battlespeed / naming commanders

Only way I can think that would remove the need of this would be if pretenders/prophets etc. were very clearly named in scouting reports, commander types were mentioned in there AND in Hall of Fame. And even then this might not be enough.

Im afraid that was my fault. One of my early hacking reports was the tactics avaiable by renaming your pretender.
However Darryl reminded me of something. In MoM you got a chance to rename your heroes when they first appeared. That might provide a safety if it can be implemented. A one time deal when the commander is first created. Maybe after you select the commander you want next round and while its still showing on the recruiting screen then hitting R could give you access to the old rename function but only there.
