I'm very very pleased to see that when I came back people had actualy worked hard at creating names!

of the set, I have to say I like:

Husam al Din - Sword of the faith - But for Assault General. His name will be swapped around.
and
Qasim - "one who divides goods among his people" - for Subversion General.

General Wu Wei Long (powerful dragon) - for ECM. His symbol is a dragon, so it works.


Collin Falkner for USA. Its a hybrid of 2 names used here. I liked both. Both are "clasic" names, but not over used names.

Shouldn't it be "General Wu Wei Lung "

dude, I don't know.. I'm just copy/pasting what I saw in the forum.

[morsematten]

in hanyupinyin, it should be "long".

[olli]

The "long" part makes it look... english in a way.
General Long..... Would it make sense if it was Lung? Looks more chinese

[some_weirdGuy]

but the name is a word, that's like calling someone...
Super tiger, but changing it to Soper Tiger cause it looks better to you....

[olli]

Well, I suppose, but it looked like a type to me

i've got a suggestion for the new gla general. a pickup truck with a mob behind, shooting with AK-47, and throwing cocktail bombs. the mob can be killed, but as long as the truck is not destoryed, the mob can replenish itself. the truck should come with an upgrade called reinforment. this will allow 2 mob to surround the truck and add on to the firepower of the unit as a whole. these mobs can be shot at, but as long as the truck is not destoryed, the mob can replenish with numbers.

and a unti called transport bus. this will allow 3-4 mob to garrison in it. it must look like those travel buses, the big and spaceous kind. this is to make it more realistic. the mob will be able to shoot out from a bus and when the bus is destoryed, it can be a bunker. must like the battle bus, but this is to cater for the transports of mobs.

why not use "Liong"? its more chinese, long = liong = dragon isn't it?

[olli]

Yeah Liong looks better

[Pendaelose]

but what is correct in Chinese?

[oops2005]

In Chinese, " Wu Wei Long" is "武威龙“ ，but in I think "龙威" is better, which called in Englishi is " Wei Long" (General Long), which means "Dragon's might" .

[PeeWee]

i think we should go for the correct chinese spelling!

[olli]

Indeed.

But if Liong means the same thing, then, from a non-chinese person. it looks a little bit more chinese...

[Pendaelose]

I'm not predjudiced enough to say a chinese word sounds to "english" when its also a word in chinese. there are hundreds of words like this that have the same phonetic pronunciation but completely different meanings. it should seam out of place.

I'm just an English facist.... screw all other languages...everyone should speak english! makes things so much easier...but will make the world a boring place.
And very crafty in the last part of your post....

All my point on this is, If it looks and sounds right in chinese then its good enough.

[morsematten]

ok but liong is no where close to dragon. long is the correct hanyupinyin.

The Generals from the beta (of the game):

General System
Originally, each side had 3 generals you could choose between from your command center at the start of the battle. It was dropped because of time constraints and because the development team felt that it weakened the overall gameplay.

The original generals were:
America:
AirForce (General Griffon)
Special Forces (General Thorn)
Tank Command (General Bradley)

China:
Red Army (General Chen)
Secret Police (General Jin)
Special Weapons (General Mau)

GLA:
Warlord Command
Terror Cell
Biowar Command

[morsematten]

where does those come from?
