    Default Common unit name for the RK (finished, new poll opened)

    REUNITED KINGDOM MOD:

    Once again we let you people decide

    What should be used for common unit names for the Reunited Kingdom?

    1. Regular names like just 'Sergeants' and 'Spear Militia', and maybe some new high-tier units like 'Telcontar Knights' (idea of el Cid)
    2. 'Western' in front of the name, like 'Western Militia Spearmen' and 'Western Sergeants' (idea of Patrician1)
    3. Other names. Dunedain, Telcontar, Kingdom, Edain. If you vote for this option, please write which name you want.

    Vote!

    I vouch for Dunedain, without knowing if its lorewise correct.

    I agree. It SHOULD be Dunedain.

    Western sounds like the movie genre. I think that the suffix of the west is better, like Militia Spearmen of the west.

    I actually prefer plain names for these generic units.

    ^ This, plus Dúnedain should be given to high tier units.

    Gotta go with Dunedain to help distinguish them being different from other Men.

    If you are going to make certain units like militia formed from the lesser men, then not having Dunedain names for them makes sense.

    To be honest, the names you're going to be creating have to be concise. Having superfluous names just detracts from the unit and, at the same time, makes the units look similar on the recruitment que; 'Western Militia Spearmen, Western Militia Archers... Western Professional... Western Professional...

    Just my thoughts on the matter.

    Why should it be Dunedain? Most are not Dunedain, they are just men, so why would you call all of them that?

    Because practically all people living in Reunited Kingdom had Dúnedain ancestry. For an example Ereinion was High-King of Noldor even though his own ancestry was mixed of Vanyar, Noldor and Teleri. But I agree that low and mid tier units shouldn't have Dúnedain next to their name, it should be for high tier units only.

    For common units, yea, I'd have to change my vote to probably Western. Dunedain doesn't fit for regular men.
    Made the mistake of thinking this was for all units, not common troops.

    This is just for the new common units yes

    Elite and mid-tier units from Gondor and Arnor will be kept in addition

    I think we're gonna have to make a new poll here, with the other names as well.

    But out of 23 people voting for others, there are only 5 who seems to have read the OP and written which name they want

    I personally like the basic names like "Men at Arms", "Squires", "Militia", etc. The soldiers' coat of arms and banner would identify that they serve in the RK. The extra names just seem redundant.

    The score is:
    1. Regular names (14 votes)
    2. "Western" (12 votes)
    3. Dunedain (6 votes)

    WHEN YOU VOTE FOR OTHERS, BUT DO NOT WRITE YOUR CHOICE, THEN YOUR VOTE WILL NOT COUNT!
