Similar to the city name generation, it'd be cool for each individual unit to have a generated name.
I'm thinking either 4 parts (2 parts for first name, 2 for last) or 2 parts (Just 2 premade names) randomly selected to make the unit's full name.
It can show up when you click more information on a unit. Something like:
Ton Liai (Warrior)
From the city of Geolsam
0/3 to become a veteran
Perhaps only veterans deserve names, too?
External link →Well....one unit represents a battalion, so if they got names, they wouldn't be personal names
Does health then also resemble unit count?
Not quite.
Battalion numbers vary between tribes. The health is a rough indicator of "fighting ability". A combo of troops, supplies, morale, casualties, etc
Oh so for example an imperius warrior unit consists of ten individuals but a Quetzali one consists of thirty since they are trash?
Maybe not that extreme, but something like that
So the same unit from different tribes is identical only for gameplay purposes? I'd imagine that lorewise, certain tribes with higher populations, training, equipment, and so on would have higher quality and more effective troops overall. For example, Oumaji seems more equestrian than other tribes, meaning their riders should be better.
Well, yes, but the ones who give quality training and equipment tend to have smaller battalions (since they're expensive), so it all evens out.
Or, in other words, yes, it's 100% for gameplay purposes and the lore was written afterwards. :P
Have any idea how small these battalions are? A few hundred troops? Maybe a thousand?
We haven't released any sort of numbers, so I can't answer that question.
Sorry.
