Default Re: A Crone by any other name

>You can't change names in DomII...

Aargh, please reconsider this decision. I use to change the name of most of my commanders :
1) to avoid having 2 (or more) commanders with the same name at the same place -- it is very annoying to lose a starshine skullcap because you gave it to the first Rodoald seen in the commanders' list and you realize too late that _this_ Rodoald was a new scout and not your favorite astral mage.
2) to add flavor (I like to use Latin name for Pythium, like Cartapus, Faipalgugus, Epinedecactus etc -- those who speak French will appreciate -- or volcano names for Abysia mages).
3) to protect a physically weak pretender against Seeking Arrows or Mind Hunts (who will waste a spell to kill Gothmog the Great Sage if the Astral Window shows only a certain "Rodoald the Scout" ?), knowing that even kings could disguise themselve to deceive assassins. Of course he is unmasked in battle (the picture and use of magic unveil his true personnality then) if a battle occurs.

Cheers
