Renaming Commanders

Woody Walton · #1 November 17th, 2003, 11:50 PM

All, Just received my DOM II o=in the mail. I had played with the demo briefly, but not a ton. I was saddened to see that commanderss cannot be renamed, at least not in the same way as Dom I. I rather liked changing the names of commanders to identify their current role. Any comments?

Somewhere the Devs mentioned that they were looking at allowing you to 'tag' your commanders with a new name that is only visable to you. If they decide to do it it should show up in a patch somewhere.

Alot of other people grumbled about this as well, so you're not alone

This was discussed a while back under "A Crone by any other name".

I miss it a lot frankly. I got two commmanders of the same name and type in a game this weekend. In the old days, I would have just renamed one... Now I just send one off to die!

Yeah, almost same happened to me... Fortunately, they were of different types. Still, I didn't really understand what was going on, was my blessed (and berserking) prophet casting blessings or what? Of course, the Hunter Rider (or whatever is the Hunter Spider riding commander named) wasn't casting spells, but it was rather... special. (like

)
Only before I understood what was going on, of course.

I hope the new 'name tag' would be displayed in the place of the name in everywhere the name is shown, and the old name would only be seen by enemies although it could still be checked if you wanted.
