Argentum may have a new name: War Metal

[suchiaruzu]

Ya know what? Name it whatever you want. I like Argentum better than Kriegsmetall, but that's just me.<br>Randall: You're right, it does sound stupid

[randall]

lol, you know whats funny is I almost used Kriegsmetall as an example (literal german translation of "war metal").

[RICoder]

Ausfiend die Staten?<br><br>I do think the name will affect sales though.  And War Metal sounds like a cheesy b-movie.  I would pick up a box that had Argentum written on it before I would pick up a box that said War Metal on it.

yeah, if anything, i think the fact that the name doesnt describe the game will make it more intriguing.

[randall]

Its as bad as Wargasm.

You want to make money and get free advertising?  Then change the terrain to a mountainous/desert motif and call it Afghantum.  That will create such a buzz that anyone with a Pocket PC who's slightly interested in gaming will want to play it.<br><br>Turban Metal: Afghantum<br><br>There you go.  Just remember the little people along the way that made you famous.<br><br>

[randall]

LOL, that is the best name I have heard, yet.

I think i'm starting to like Jay's idea<br><br>+-----------------+<br>|       AG        |<br>|    Argentum     |<br>|     SILVER      |<br>|      [PIC]      |<br>|    War Metal    |<br>|           76,98 |<br>+-----------------+<br><br>I can already see the banners and stuff!!!<br>A table of elements. everything but that one is blurred. it's a little isometric, on the pic you can see some silver. maybe a paper under the toy soldier which says something like "want the best ppc game ever?" followed by a list of feares.<br>hm<br>maybe that's more of a magazine advertisement, but i like the idea...!!!!

My only question is Why. Has some sort of trademark or copyright infringement come to light? Are one of the three partners of Ionside throwing their weight around? Are potential customers saying they wouldn't buy the software simply because they don't like the name?<br><br>I of course vote for Argentum, since many tens of thousands of people are patiently waiting for a piece of software to be released bearing that name.<br><br>Dan East
