Promotion name?

[Valkrionn]

So, I have two possible names lined up for a new promotion. It's basically just Strong, applied to Disciple units through an event. What are your opinions?


New Malakim only event.

• There is nothing we can do here. (Allows you to leave and come back later, useful if you do not meet the requirements for the last option.)
• A holy man, inspired by this sacred place, has offered to join our cause. (Gain a Heroic Lightbringer.)
• Our people will benefit from the relics recovered from this site. (Creates a 'Temple of the Mirror' in your capital, granting 'PROMOTION' to all disciple units. Requires 'Good' alignment.)

 

[PPQ_Purple]

What about "Gifted", to represent an individual that has exceptional talent just as strong represents one with exceptional strenth.

 

[Valkrionn]

That would work too, but it strikes me as something for an arcane unit instead... I'd like a religious-sounding name.

 

[zup]

Pious sounds appropriately generic. Enlightened might fit if you limit it to Empyrean. But I have hard time imagining enlightened OO disciples.

 

[Valkrionn]

That's exactly what I don't want to do, which is why when someone suggested Pious I jumped at it... Just want to get other opinions.

 

[PPQ_Purple]

I wish you could find a word that explains it. Esentialy, the name should be something that signifies that the unit has been included into a select few that know the deepest secrets of the religion...

 

[Valkrionn]

My thoughts exactly. I just can't think of a word that fits it.

 

[PPQ_Purple]

What about something in the maner of "touched" or "avakened" as in touched by the esence of faith or avakened by the knowledge of the truth.

 

[Darksaber1]

Enlightened or Enlightenment is a Promotion Elohim Monks get, so I'd have to say "Pious".
Unless something better comes along.

 

[Honor]

Witness?

As in they've witnessed the relics and whatever new knowledge they brought.

 

[PPQ_Purple]

Witness?

As in they've witnessed the relics and whatever new knowledge they brought.

That's not a bad idea. How about it's cristian sinonim: "Apostol"?

 

[WarKirby]

Enlightened is a definite no. That name is already in use for an elohim monk promo.

Pious is good
or Faithful

 

[Opera]

I voted Pious.

As for a better name... what about something along the lines of "Taught"? I'm not sure if it's grammatically valid as it is but I mean it as in "has been taught the secrets of X". Or "Alumni"...

Well, I still voted Pious

 

[Valkrionn]

Actually, the Elohim promotion is called Enlightenment, not Enlightened.

 

[WarKirby]

Actually, the Elohim promotion is called Enlightenment, not Enlightened.

The difference is irrelevant.
It would be like adding a promotion called "Stronger", or "Strength"

 

[xienwolf]

Both of the base choices made me wonder about hte Elohim setup. Pious was too close to piety, which I thought they also got. Witness is a nice one though I think.

 

[WarKirby]

Nope, you're thinking of Purity

There's no promotion named Piety in FF, as far as I'm aware,

 

[JimMorrison]

Anointed?
Inspired?
Vehement?

 

[MagisterCultuum]

I would suggest Devout, but people might confuse that with the Elohim Assassin UU.

 

[Keyeth]

Venerable, Learned, Devout (even though this is already kinda occupied [edit: Ninja'ed]), or.. If they've learned something and they're bringing it to the world, how about just Harbinger?
