    I always thought they should have renamed the universal collosus the "Ubedead" just for consistency. ;)


    I actually think that TA did a fairly good job at naming units. Although if we wanted everything to be completely informational it would be something like:

    AK: Useless

    Hawk: Your victory is immanent

    I would say: why not do both?


    IE:

    Peewee Light Mech
    Monkeylord Land Experimental
    Devastator Heavy Tank.


    (with a box you can tick to turn either name off, IE just display "heavy tank" or just display "peewee")

    My second thought:

    If the above is not possible, can we have meaningful names for small units and awesome names for big units? IE, call your tank a tank and your experimental a Monkeylord.

    This should be in addition to whatever naming comes forth.
    I liked TA's cheezy stuff, it still made sense to some capacity, and was easily associable after a little bit of time.
