Adjusting battlespeed / naming commanders

[Darryl]

Just a newbie here, so feel free to ignore what I say as I just started playing...but....

My all time favorite game is Master of Magic. One of the features that I loved about the game? The ability to name my heroes. Seriously. I got a kick out of playing "themed games" in my mind. When my wizard was "Merlin", my heroes were "Lancelot", "Galahad", "King Arthur", you get the idea. The ability to do that here would be great IMO.

I've also done the "wrong Hymer" thing and sent the wrong commander into battle. If multiple commanders can have the same name, then I don't understand what naming them adds to the game if you have to look at the commander type ANYWAY since there can be duplicates. Just out of curiosity, was there a reason this was removed ?(apparently it was in Dominions I??)

Oh, and I didn't figure out I sent the wrong commander until a few turns later. Why? Because I noticed the two commanders going through other things. Didn't notice before because the battle replays were, well....
