Tammy Posted June 19, 2006 Report Share Posted June 19, 2006 Well, Warlord was far more replaceable. 'Meet new Warlord, same as old Warlord'Rocket-jockeys don't need impressive stats, but my best female scout/UFO stormer does And I thought it was because it was me.

Dumb_Commander Posted June 19, 2006 Report Share Posted June 19, 2006 Recently I started to change the soldiers names to the Movie protagonists, like one of my soldiers (I dont remmember his name right now) had hell of a HP points while he sometimes survived the most dangerous situations, due to that I named him... John McLane. (Die Hard) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted June 19, 2006 Report Share Posted June 19, 2006 Tammy doesn't need impressive stats because she's got laser-beam eyes like Cyclops from X-Men - why do you think she's wearing shades in her avatar? One look at an alien and they're toast, she's that good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dumb_Commander Posted June 19, 2006 Report Share Posted June 19, 2006 Pete, I know that already, and this is not the topic for the discusion of Tammy, this is disccusion of soldier names so, even if your the main administrator, stay to the topic at hand, please.

Pete Posted June 19, 2006 Report Share Posted June 19, 2006 *Slaps own wrist* Okay On superhuman I don't generally name my men as, without saving, I'd see too many "friends" die. Besides, the system does gome up with some cracking names on occasion - a Rookie from my Delta Prime base in South East Asia goes by the name od Patrick Stewart for example, and I swear down I didn't fiddle with the name. I only hope he kicks ass as much as you'd expect him to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gimli Posted June 19, 2006 Report Share Posted June 19, 2006 I have him too. I had another one with an interesting name, but can't remember what it was anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Accounting Troll Posted June 19, 2006 Report Share Posted June 19, 2006 I trust he's a little thin on top when you go into the soldier equipment screen I don't bother renaming my soldiers, but I do include their psionic defence statistics, if known. Soldiers with low psionic defence values tend to get the most dangerous jobs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted June 19, 2006 Report Share Posted June 19, 2006 Indeed. When you get to the point where you get Psi labs, you tend to have a lot of folks at a lot of bases. I always put an asterisk after the names of my best psi people and ship the crap ones off to remote bases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tammy Posted June 23, 2006 Report Share Posted June 23, 2006 Why else would my best female soldier be named Tammy? You are too sweet, Carlos! DC, don't scold Pete, please. He was just being sweet. As for changing the names, it does make one a little more conscious of losing soldiers.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bomb Bloke Posted June 23, 2006 Report Share Posted June 23, 2006 Besides which, any topic here incorporates Tammy by default. Hence I tailored my signature in order to keep up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
