    By putting randomly generated names on some mountains, craters, seas and crevasses it would be easier to orientate yourself and co-ordinate with team-mates. It would also add to the epicness of PA in my opinion.

    Instead of moving your units to the mountain beside the crevasse you could be moving them to Mt.Zokkiwikki.

    Or we could wait for the UI to be built that let's us name places. Still, named POIs would be nice and I know for a fact that it's on the list. We're just waiting for the UI to catch up.

    I for one, am in no rush for this feature though; last thing on the list at the moment.

    This is a pretty neat idea. I fnd it very hard to communicate where/what I'm talking about with units, engineers and players everywhere in a team armies game.

    That, along with something similar to the pings in SC:FA.

    :lol: Yes, I was trying to ping a teammate in a game yesterday. Resorted to lots of shouting in team chat.

    "I found his commander"
    "Hes here"
    "right here"
    "HERE HERE HERE"
    "------------->"

    I like this idea. Adds to the immersion and as you said, makes it easier to navigate and orientate vs your enemy.

    I agree with pinging the map, and labeling them.
    ie, mass here, or defend here,
