FWIW - Louis XIV had all the barrels of the cannons cast during his reign stamped with the phrase: "Ultima Ratio Regum". Translates as "The Last Argument of Kings". Unfortunately, the phrase "Ultima Ratio Regum" is already used as the name of a game.

If at first you don't succeed, don't take up skydiving.

Some re-combinations and derivatives of things posted so far:

Tales of Loyalty
Tales of Fealty
Path to Glory
Continuation of Politics
Ways of Power
Blood & Power
Unbridled Ambitions
Potentates


Still looking for more ideas. Lots of creativity here. I like it. :-)

No... sounds too much like a bad vampire game.

I recently read a book by that name and found out about that. That just increased my already existing respect for Louis XIV tenfold. :)

"War By Another Name"

I quite like this one.

I recently read a book by that name and found out about that. That just increased my already existing respect for Louis XIV tenfold. :)

Bayaz is my role model.
Born in Day they knew the Light; Rulers, prophets, servants, and warriors.
Life in Night that they walk; Gods, heretics, thieves, and murderers.
The Stefanovics live.

They also refuse to eat meat and if you cut down too many trees they'll lay siege to your capital.

...If by "bad vampire game" you mean "one of the best RPGs ever"?

Anyway.

Any new game would have to have a fairly short, punchy title - too much poetry, while appropriate for novels, won't work in browser games IMO.

How's about Pomp and Bloodshed?

Or "Pomposity! The Hit Browser Game from Tom"
Ironsides Family, mainly East Continent and Dwilight. I dip my toe into Atamara here and there

Thing is, any title like that just makes me think of the one of many bad browser games with names like that.

After going through this again, and looking up some things via Google, here's a list of likely names that seem to not belong to a game or such like already.
Why "likely"? Because I might be working on a side-project that is in need of a name. So tell me which ones you like for a game like BattleMaster, but with more freedom, and a larger scale:
  • Unbridled Ambitions
  • Coat of Arms
  • Border Princes
  • Blood & Power
  • Crowns of Legend
