Jman4117 Posted July 23, 2004 Report Share Posted July 23, 2004 They are genetically engineered killing machines. They are grow in tanks by the secret world government that is in league with the aliens...... They are from the same gene pool and therefore are given the same designation when spawned. Different gene pool, differnet spawning designation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alien-Bait Posted July 23, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2004 eh... if theyre geneticallt engineered killing machines, why do they get totally raped at the beginning that might explain the 40000 to hire and the 20000 salary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jman4117 Posted July 23, 2004 Report Share Posted July 23, 2004 They are meant to loose to the aliens, but still be superior to the other earthlings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NKF Posted July 23, 2004 Report Share Posted July 23, 2004 It always gave me the impression that the soldiers were all anonymous and the names you see are just the ones that have been assigned to them just as a method of identifying them - what names they get called during their tour of duty, well, that's up to the commander. Thus the reign of Virgil Kemps and Astra Smillies (or whatever name combinations you often get) with different nationalities and states of hair loss tends to end very quick. - NKF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alien-Bait Posted July 23, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2004 teh listorski chipovyuri chipovjason smithclaire smithigor pavlovlyumilla pavlovI still prefer to think that those are the original names so then, whenever you get a replacement with that name, you could call him/her inbred Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickAragua Posted July 23, 2004 Report Share Posted July 23, 2004 It gets worse when you have about five or six bases, and each one has about two "Orski Alkaviades" in it. I usually wind up sticking some characters at the end of their names to signify what combat role they play (e.g. Orski Alkaviades HP = heavy weapons/psionics) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bomb Bloke Posted July 23, 2004 Report Share Posted July 23, 2004 Name double ups? I really gotta check my version number. I'm beginning to wonder if we're all playing the same game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickAragua Posted July 23, 2004 Report Share Posted July 23, 2004 ::shrug:: Maybe they weren't all named Orski. But there were certainly at least 6 or 7 "Alkaviades" in the last game I played. In any case, the names are (more or less) randomly generated, so chances are, sooner or later, you'll get a double up. It's fairly unlikely for both names (let's say that there's a total of about 40 names and 40 surnames, so you have something like 1/1600 chance of doubling up), but not astronomically unlikely. By the same token, if you hire more than 40 soldiers, you're guaranteed a double on a name or surname. Note: 40 is a number pulled out at random.

Aquanaut571 Posted July 31, 2004 Report Share Posted July 31, 2004 Maybe they weren't all named Orski. But there were certainly at least 6 or 7 "Alkaviades" in the last game I played. That's happening to me when I play... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
