Re: What could we steal from other fantasy games..
Yeah, I've started renaming my pretenders that way as well. There's a few things I don't like about this system though. The first one is that it makes can spell out your intentions to other players which can be a bad thing. But the bigger problem is simply that you can't display that many characters from the strategic map. Also renaming your commanders every turn to keep things straight is a bit annoying since I also rename my mages according to their random picks. Finding a better way to organize all the various bits of information: magic picks, orders, battle groups, communion configurations, etc. would make the management part of the game more enjoyable.
