Alrighty, first off, here's the official unofficial name rankings as determined by a poll(polling one person, namely me):
  • Your Mother! (Most likely a Great Mother for the 'yo momma so fat' jokes and to provide a Earth/Nature bless, but I won't rule out other female pretenders)
  • JENOVA (I wanted something christian-sounding, and eventually decided on a name from a game I haven't even played. Another option was 'The Lard')
  • The Great Perplexo (This just seems like it'd be fun to shout. It's the great Perplexo!)
  • Eblis (It's a bit obscure, but a neat and fitting name anyway)
  • Mal'Dahak (Sounds pretty cool, I guess)
  • Yelito (Less cool...)
  • Bruce (At least name him Brucelas or something)
  • Caelissa (It's unimaginative and it doesn't even sound cool)
Alright, now to actually do my turn. What do I name my prophet? Hmmm... I'm leaning towards 'The Beatles' because they're more popular, but I'll need to consider it further before making my decision.

Yup, after 4 iterations of my pretender without deleting them in between I got tired of trying to come up with anything.

Except Yomi doesn't get a Great Mother. The available female pretenders are Deva, Lady of Fortune, Vampire Queen, Crone, and Great Enchantress, as best I can tell. Titles seem to only indicate blood magic, so that's probably an indication of either the Deva or Vampire Queen. Of course, Your Mother as the crone would be kind of amusing.

(Your Mother the Eater of Children = priceless :D)

Oh, you're right. My mistake, I was typing that out in a hurry and didn't bother to actually check my facts. Definitely didn't check out the titles. It's probably a Deva, since the VQ isn't mono-blood.

You know, I was considering typing up an AAR. Later, of course, not right now.

For me, Yelito ranks high due to its pronounciation being almosts exactly like that of a Polish word for an intestine.
Also Bruce. Obviously it's the Bruce. He's probably going to kill a helicopter again.

Naming units is roughly 25% of the total fun you get from a Dom 3 multiplayer game.  :D

Well I'm terrible at naming my own units (and just realized I forgot to rename my prophet.... :-\) but seeing other people's renamed units is about 40% of my enjoyment, so I guess it balances out. :P

Hmmm. Everybody but Hinnom, Mictlan and Agartha overtaxed on their first turn. Mictlan clearly has growth scales. Ermor and Hinnom are both going with good income scales. Caelum, Agartha and Yomi all have awake pretenders doing their research; Yomi and Agartha both have high dominions growth so Yomi definitely has a Dom 9 or 10 pretender, and Agartha might also have a high-dominion pretender(Risen Oracle, since it's immortal?).

Also, who's this Boski fellow?

To continue that line of pointless speculation, if Yomi does have a Deva, the 16 RP means a Blood-9 bless, though thanks to the way this mod works, the pretender will actually have a blood skill level of 14 (yikes!). Then she just needs three bad scales to get up to dominion 9; sloth is a pretty obvious choice, since all those demons and bandits have a pretty low resource cost.

Caelum is going to either have to have some kind of Rainbow Crone or Great Enchantress, I don't really see any other way to get up to 27 RPs. The titles all seem to suggest earth magic. Reinvigoration is a useful bless for the Eagle Kings I guess?

Also, who's this Boski fellow?
Well... shit. All of my carefully planned passive aggressiveness, gone awry.

Going up to blood-9 even sort of makes sense in this case, since whatever antithugs that are going around taking out your Dai-Oni will be cursed.

Might as well take a look at everyone else's pretender titles.

JENOVA of Ermor
- titles suggest earth magic.
Bruce of Mictlan - titles suggest water magic (and maybe fire too? 'Boiling Spirit'). A combination Fire/Water bless works pretty well with the jaguar warriors. In fact, it's exactly what I'm doing in Round 7.5!
The Great Perplexo of C'tis - I'm not really too sure about this one. I suppose 'Princess of Strength' could refer to Earth magic. I'll have to take a look at the female chassis available to C'tis.
Yelito of Pangaea - water and nature, it looks like.
Mal'Dahak of Agartha - titles suggest death magic. Obsidian Mind refers to Earth? Maybe Astral?
