I'd like to be able to select the symbol for my local government. It's kind of annoying to have militant fortress and group names like "The Eternal Blades" or whatever only to discover that your local government symbol is a cheese.

Perhaps it should also be possible to give squads (especially experienced ones) their own symbols?

You think that's bad?

"The ace of spades"

The symbol was a floodgate.

Wait, squads have symbols?

militant fortress ... symbol is a cheese.

Considering which migrants often end up in the military, that actually seems quite appropriate

This stuff bugged me at first, but then I started thinking about the buffalo soldiers.  Nicknames don't make sense out of context, and this game is totally devoid of context.  It's your job to make the context.

Groups, i.e. local governments. Pay attention.

I support this. One fort that I started had a ballista part as its symbol. How much lamer can you get?

*on reconsideration, being symbolized as a being who uses the most powerful weapon in the universe (a bow) better than anyone else, who's immortal, and will tear you apart and eat your flesh once you've been defeated, would probably be a great idea.

[Mephansteras]

Even more proof that we need to be able to select our own local government symbol!

Of course, like the Fortress and Group names, you can leave it random if you want.

Oh, on the idea of squads getting symbols that might be cool but probably unnecessary. On a large battlefield, the local government symbol for the group that sent the squad would be enough for group identity purposes.

It would be cool to see your local symbol on shields, though. And maybe have that switch over to the civ symbol once the King arrives. That'd probably have to wait until better decorating code goes into place, but think how awesome it'd be to give your champions shields with *Silver Group Symbols* on them.
