Change the name of teams!

I asked this before on TW forums.

When I win, why do I see the Native factions, also, why their logos?  :wink:

I suggest renaming the two teams either to Team I/Team II,
Or Red Team/Blue Team, with a Blue and Red flag.

It's also stupid when I read the chat and see this:

"lul Nordz u got pwnt trololo"

I'm not a Nord! lol.

I'd like, on the NA servers, for it to be Canada vs. America but that's just me.  Also Mexico, for more southern maps.  :wink:

why would you change the names of the teams?  Thats like picking arbitrary names for terrorists & counter-terrorists in CS.

What they need to do is indicate WHICH team is ATTACKING and which is DEFENDING

Why?  What if it's just a field?  How would MOTF work?

Because we aren't fighting for Native factions.

I vote for something generic and neutral like:
Team I - team II
Team north - Team south
Red team - Blue team

Not like:
USA - Canada
Muslims - Christians
Good team - Evil team
and so on...

Not high priority, but the Native names don't mean anything because teams don't have anything like the look or equipment of the Calradian nations. One team might be "Khergit" even though it has no cavalry at all, for instance. I'd favour colours or cardinal directions or something else.
The word is "anyway" not "anyways". You are not Gabby Hayes.

I vote for a shift to randomly chosen names from land-owning Strategus factions.

Agreed.  And, if banner balance is on, it'd be cool if teams got balanced to the appropriate faction.  It's not high priority but it'd be cool if all the Hospitallers, for example, were on the Hospitaller team.
