If someone can figure this out would be so awesome, because without this the metagame feels more like your fighting against random techs and knowing which tech or player the brain belongs to will help alot.
For example: "HAHAHAHA, i've got you now <insert player name here>".

Currently its: "oh, another brain."

Only seeing player names on the world map isn't enough, seeing their names in game over their brain actors will carry much more weight. Anyone have any ideas how this can be achieved, I'm prepared to do it myself, if I can be shown how.

Do people consider me strange if I mention that I just don't get what you're posting here? :???:

You could look at the units/weapons they're ordering and the team number/colour you assigned them at the start of the metagame, y'know. I'd say that'd give you a pretty good idea of which tech and team they are.

I think he means randomly generated enemy names.

So instead of the enemy just being a nameless brain, they'd be something like Bob Jones, Ronin Supreme Commander or something like that.

No. I mean.

When you play the metagame you give names to each player human and or AI, now take those names and place it (like the destroy text ) over the head of all that players brains. Thats it. :)

Yeah, and when one of your soldiers kills an enemy, he says: Ha! That is no match for me! Or something like that.

Yeah, I think I'll pass on shitty lines that sound like they were taken from C-list movies. I'm sure I'll grow tired of them after the umpteenth ♥♥♥♥ time they're repeated.
