Re: Name suggestions for the BA remake
Can we please have a backstory before we generate a name? The whole Arm vs Core thing won't work, we'll even need new faction names.
Not to mention that a lot of terms and unit names such as peewee or nanolathe will need changing

Yup, that really would need a team effort. To me, the TA unit names were always awesome. Most of them made sense in accordance to the unit they were naming. We need new names like that, gonna be tough.AF wrote:Can we please have a backstory before we generate a name? The whole Arm vs Core thing won't work, we'll even need new faction names.

Re: Name suggestions for the BA remake
I don't know if the old unit names are that great, it's just some nice words we've gotten used to but nothing greatly special. But due to the familiarity it WILL be really tough to try and get used to any change into them.
Re: Name suggestions for the BA remake
think "Big Angry Robots" and "BattleCom" both pritty cool
"ComWars" is a little boring doesnt exactly stand out
"Built,Attack,Reclaim" should be "Build,Attack,Reclaim"

Re: Name suggestions for the BA remake
tbh i dont think changing what acronym stands for is a good idea, BAR should be for Balanced Annihilation *
to change it we would end up with a name that we would have never chose had we not been restrained by the acronym
if people dont like BAR as Balanced Annihilation we should create a full new name instead of limiting creativity

Re: Name suggestions for the BA remake
That's sensible, although the motivation for finding a name within, BAR, should a good one be found, is that it allows a little bit of an inside joke or old players or, if you prefer to think of it this way, preserves a bit of history of the game. You see bits like this littered around in Zero-K, like the most damage award is still called the "Complete Annihilation" award, and the default theme is called Robocracy (one of the old rename candidates).
"Build-Attack-Reclaim" is a pretty good one, that summarizes up the game pretty accurately. Better than "Big-Ass Robots" or whatever that silly previous suggestion was.

Badly Renamed Annihilation
Re: Name suggestions for the BA remake
I still don't think we need to make BAR actually stand for something, what's wrong with 'BAR'?
Perhaps it would be better to see what is in store for the rest of the core units and the Arm unit style?

Re: Name suggestions for the BA remake
Because people know that it stands for "Balanced Annihilation Remake". If you just omit a tagline how will you teach them that BAR does not stand for anything anymore. Also 'BAR' alone is a bad name imo.AF wrote:I still don't think we need to make BAR actually stand for something, what's wrong with 'BAR'?
I like "BattleComs" and also "Build Attack Reclaim".
Btw yes Gigamez, thanks for the logos :)

Build Attack Reclaim gets my vote. It's a third way from the "serious or funny" ones proposed by SirArtturi earlier - simple and succinct.

Re: Name suggestions for the BA remake
Build Attack Reclaim is basically ripping off the PURE acronym, and surely no-one wants that?

Google ranking will be a struggle if the game is only known as 'BAR'.AF wrote:I still don't think we need to make BAR actually stand for something, what's wrong with 'BAR'?
