Default Re: Wish-List for Dominions 4

Some games, I have commanders with names like Alfred. Other times, I have commanders with names like "Death-x," or, if he's assigned to an army, "Death-7," or else "Ponsifaz the Summoner" and "Wericar Staffmaker." In that case, if I can't figure out where a commander was and what his job was from the message, it means it doesn't matter. He was probably just researching or site-searching.

It's not a fix for your problem, but it's a bit of a mitigator.

P.S. Plus, I think nicknames are thematic. I recall one time when I had a scout (named Sparrow-17 or something) get caught by province defense somehow. He killed 7 or 8 and managed to scare the rest off, single-handedly. (He was a Helheim scout, which helped.) I renamed him Sparrowhawk.

[Wait, maybe he wasn't caught. Maybe I had him attack the province, thinking it was empty or had only a single defender or something. I sure didn't expect as many as there actually there.]
