Aye I saw it. Incase anyone else missed it, the name is "Acatharti Dominion". The name is alright, I don't like that it has the word "Dominion" in it.

Here is a current list to condense the names for voting:
Acatharti Dominion
Tarn
Yesod
Yesodot
Arba

If I have missed others, or you have new ideas, just add to the list

[Saulot]

I suppose you're right, dominion does sound better in a completely different context. (Perhaps a scifi one or something not involving dominions)

*ponders*

I suppose Confederacy, Commonwealth, Empire, Caliphate, Emirate, Sultanate etc. are all fine substitutes (they can also go before, such as X of Acartharti.

Or simply Acartharsis.
Or 'Unified Acartharsis'.
Or 'Greater Acartharsis'.

Also, a play on the Mongols, The Silver Horde.

Also, a play on ancient China, The Four Kingdoms.

[Foodstamp]

It is not the context. The word is the title of the game, as well as one of the game features/mechanics, that is why I don't like the idea of it being used as part of the name of a nation as well.

Acatharti Dominion (Confederacy, Commonwealth, Empire, Caliphate, Emirate, Sultanate / or X of Acatharti)
Acartharsis.
'Unified Acartharsis'
'Greater Acartharsis'
Acatharti: The Silver Horde
Acatharti: The Four Kingdoms
Tarn
Yesod
Yesodot
Arba

[Endoperez]

If you name it Silver Horde, put in a multihero "Silver General", age 100/50 human with att/def/str 18, 20 hp and a bonus bite attack.

Riding a bog beast.

Okay, I'm definitly okay with Contesting Tribes.

For the name, I'd prefer something with more then 1 syllable. Acarthasis sounds good. Like Not-Carthage-ish.

[Foodstamp]

So "Acarthasis: Contesting Tribes"?

I like that name as well .

For theme, maybe it can work like this...

The pretender has pulled the four tribes together. Even though the tribes are bound together by the will of the pretender, they still jockey for position politically and have a distaste for one another, bred by their worship of different elements. The exception being the priest(s)(I am going to create) who are ordained by the new order, so they are not subject to the politics of the precarious alliance.

So while there is a truce of sorts mandated by the pretender, the factions still play the game of political intrigue, trying to stab one another in the back. To top it off, they do not work well when mixed together in units, and would rather be in legions of their own ilk (cold auras, hot auras, vulnerability to opposite elements etc)

[Sombre]

Keep in mind that the AI will make a total mess if you give it units which can't really go together. It's bad enough with hydras and abysians already.

[Agrajag]

I don't really care about the name, as long as it's not too silly.
As for auras, I'm not sure I'm comfortable giving my units heat auras, they are still just humans after all.
Plus, what Sombre said

Even though I've grown rather fond of my latest masterpiece creations, as per Sombre's quixotic and somber need for utilitarian and functional armies, I suppose I'll have to replace both the drunken axe thrower and the flaming [img]/threads/images/Graemlins/Grenade.gif[/img] juggler with something more to his liking (perhaps something cuddly and congenial?
