Hum, she's not named after my girlfriend at all, since I don't have any. She's named after the main heroine of Claymore (an manga by Norihiro Yagi).

If you've seen the anime version or read the manga, even her appearance would make a bit of sense.

And, it wasn't just some undead, it was 3 skellies spamming death mage + 20 or so longdeads. A bit harsh for a battle during the second turn. I've disposed of them since, and got a pretty good death site from it !

Well, I don't have any pretenders named after my girlfriend(since I don't have one ), but Yoth'Shothogg(in said game with Claire and Frannabelle) is a play on Yogg'Shothoth.

The closest I got to naming any unit after someone I know is in the (deceased ) Sar Elad mod, where the Sar Eladian name list has many names of people I know (because they have a Hebrew nametype and I live in Israel )

Hey all ^^

I didn't name any unit after one gf, but once i had a poison golem spontaneously called Idro, like a very very VERY old man of my lil' town ^^ Seeing him in the hall of fame with thousands of kills was pretty astonishing... the old man was so slow, peaceful... o_O

I modeled a vampire queen after my wife and named her Lillith (my wifes favorite login and email address). She was flattered by it.

Nothing ever came of it though for two reasons. The first is that Im too RPG and have a thing against playing female characters so I could never choose that one to play. And Im not about to create an AI around it because it would definetly affect my play if I ever ran up against her. Too bad we cant fully ally with the AI. We can ally with each other and the AIs can ally with each other. We can ally with AI (which I have used to my advantage in some solo games) but we cant get the AI to ally with a player.
