Your best militia name.
« on: August 22, 2011, 07:09:11 pm »
The randomly generated names that your militia get got me thinking. I always just roll with what I get given (rather than create/disbanding till I get something good) so I was wondering whats the best/worst/most fitting name you've gotten.

My best is probably the Fields of Gold which was one of my crossbow units as well as being the name of a historic meeting between King Henry VIII and Francis I.

My worst is probably the Superior Swords (which sounds great but a unit of useless fortress guard got the name so).

The most fitting is the Armored Confinement who were both armored and confined.

Really I just wanna know some of the good stuff other people have gotten.

I always have a suicide squad for getting rid of useless Dwarves. My latest one was called The Gleeful Hatchets.

Think of it like Sim City, except with rival mayors that seek to destroy your citizens by arming legions of homeless people and sending them to attack you.

Got a squad named "The Certainty of Heroes" in my last fort. The militia captain killed about 30 undead badgers (regular ones) by herself before I got more soldiers in with her. (too bad undead don't count as kills due to the hit-point system)

I always seem to get something to do with lanterns or something equally as tame. I guess my dwarves just don't want to fight.

My commander's squad is "The gilded evisceration" (FYI a swordsdwarf squad). Others in the current fort:
"The copper shells"
"Blockaded Lancers"<--- This one has haunted me in almost every major fort I've created.
'The copper bravery"
"The great silvers"
And... "Ceilings of incineration".

Ha.... my new worlds starting unit is full of dwarves who have lovers. However they are often on duty as the area is very hostile therefore denying them the oppurtunity to make good on their status. The squads name?
