Names

[DuPont]

So with all these new games starting, I have a question. How does one change the King's name under the new system? Do we send a mail to support? Can we just put the new name on the 1st input sheet? I want it to be as easy as possible for the staff, but I always want to give my king my own name.

One other request - how difficult would it be to make a change in the number of characters for names? Right now, with new emmies, we are limited to 12 but most of the starting names have more. If it's an easy fix, I'd love to see it happen. I often feel constrained by the 12 characters, especially when I am trying to match up to the existing theme already there in the kingdom names.

Mr. DuPont,

As soon as 26 runs, I'll have an answer for you as to whether changing the names in 1st input on the web order works. I stuck with the starting two letters, but changed the names to match the flavor I was looking for.

Will let you know.

Your humble city stealer,
Kevin

We discussed this behind the scenes when we first started on the online order project and it's better if players submit an email to support to change the sex and name of their ruler before turn 1. I'll put a new selection on the web page to handle this in the future but I'm working on other things at this time.

Yep, just changing the name on the first turn doesn't do it, contrary to what I was told from Support. A shame, really, but seems like game 26 will have the system generated king names.
