Another Name ?

If BattleMaster would not already have a name - what would you name it?

That is an excellent question. I'll have a hard time coming up with a truly original name, but if you don't mind things that have been used before....

Paths of Glory

The rationale being that BM is truly having playing a noble character: it's about the journey, not the target.

If i think of something catchy that captures how the game feels i come up with this:

Lord of Kings, something that sounds ilogical untill you actually play the game :)

Fuedal Fueds or just Fuedality, or Fuedmaker(s)

or Mediaeval, Medieval

i also like von genfs suggestion

Hmm... Is A Game of Thrones taken yet? That would be a really cool name for this game. Maybe I should copyright that before someone else does... ;)

Actually, I was thinking A Clash of Kings worked better...except that "Kings" is too specific.

Perhaps something like "Principalities and Powers"?

I'm trying to come up with something that riffs on "All politics is the continuation of war by other means," but that isn't ridiculously long, to no avail thus far...

How about "Islands of Intrigue"?

Lands of Intrigue would sound better.  "Island" gives off a feeling of tiny and unimportant.  These are continents, not mere islands after all.

"The Continuation of Politics" isn't a bad title! I like it.

Kingdoms.


Nice and simple, and describes it pretty well, I think.
