Naming conventions?
 

I know that names tend to be nation-based, and sometimes dependent on the unit (dragons tend to get long names, undead get descriptive undead-y names like Orphaneater or Plaguerot).

So I'm playing LA Pythium...how did I get "Lugal'eudmelambi'niergal" on a Serpent Priest?

He's compensating?

With the Rename feature?

Yeah I'm going with rename feature.

Nope, these are all built-in commander names:

Lugal'dimmerankia
Lugal'eudmelambi'nirgal
Lugal'kurdub
Lugal'zagesi
Lugal'sisa
Lugal'igi'husham

Perhaps KO had been drinking? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/biggrin.gif

Re: Naming conventions?
 

I would rather wonder why there is 'eudmelambi' in the title. Lugal means king and Nirgal is ancient god. If they would put smth in the middle it would have a meaning 'servant of', 'priest of', 'bearer of power of' etc. But I really cannot find word 'eudmelambi' anywhere, hmm... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

It's creeping cultural influence from C'tis. What's your excuse for a one letter name?

Re: Naming conventions?
 

Most of the c'tissian names are old sumerian, babylonian and assyrian names. I may have made mistakes while writing them, but most are names of gods, kings and historical figures.

Many kings used combinations of lugal and a couple of other epithets in their names.

Lugal iirc means something like "ruler".
