Do you guys think we need to change the name of Ultimate Footmen? When I think about it, all the rip offs and fake versions(like the 'final 1.00') are probaly going to and have thrown off alot of potential players by the terrible quality of them.

If you do think we should rename it, then give me some suggestions. Should it keep Footmen in the name, or should it be something completly different. Some I came up with are Skirmish and The Arena.

 

Well, I don't really have creative names, but maybe something along the lines of "Ice" or something, and each letter would stand for a different word. But, something that Pollama members would know only. This would prevent people from copying it. I would hope members wouldn't leak to friends who weren't trustworthy, but we can never know. As it starts to get more popular more people would play it, and it would be more recognized. We would probably only need to change the name if we see a large flow of fake versions like VG's horrible ripoffs and Ultimate Footmen "X".

 

Must keep footmen
MUST KEEP FOOTMEN
lol ok sorry. The yelling was unneeded.
People won't know what the game is if we change the name anyways.
And i dunno, but I kinda like the ring of "ultimate footmen."
As you've said, the ripoffs are fine, because they suck.

 

Yes it actually could require some change. Footmen should be in the name though as no one will know what the map is about. Footmen Wars? Footmen Battles? ... idk.

 

The reason i first tryed this game was bc the the name seemed fun to me, and from there on i was hooked. But, I do understand were you are coming from about a name change..

Ultimate Arena O_o.

The Final Battle.

Footmen Omega.

Footmen Tactics.

Hmm.. IM not very good with names. I tryed

On Vg-emblems forums they said there changing it to Ultimate Legends i think thats ok but its not that good. But im not to good with names, but im sure a good one will come to me eventully.

 

Well if we change it, it make people think its in another type of category of game.
E.g. if we made it ultimate arena, people would think it was an arena game, like angel arena, or custom hero arena.

 

Ultimate Legends is a way different game. It is a mix of an AoS game (such as DoTa, Hosk, Mutating Aeons) and the beloved Ultimate Footmen, but with not rigged heros and Blizzard heros are removed. If you ask me it's a complete rip off of what Apples has been striving to do and successfully managed to do, make the best footmen wars there is.

 

Footman Battles?

That just stuck in my head and i thought that sounded like a good name.

You can mix-and-match names really, but we could also just keep UltF. In the next release info on the site and whatnot should be pointed out clearly instead of as little notes.

what about Footmen Rampage?

 

Thats a good name but maybe, Ultimate Footmen Rampage, or not...

 

Ew.
Terrible.
And KillerKunoichi make your sig smaller.
Or I will but something much better.

I'd say The Areana has been used to to many things so its kinda bleh.
But The Code of Footmen?

because of footmen x? i think not. i would quit this forum and jump on my computer if we changed the name simply because some losers edited an old version and called it new.
i think the name is fine as is. if we changed it then people might not think it was legit from a glance and we would have to attract players all over again.

Why is it named after footmen? The game really isn't even about footmen. It's about heros. Chnage it, I got no suggestions.

 

its not about hero's. units can pwn you know. have you ever tried going undead when they first get available and only uping frenzy? once thats done simply sourround enemy hero's with their superior speed and then they die... fast. units are the best if you ask me. they are good at both hero and unit killing, like a good hero without spells or passives that can be upgraded. think of it this way: its a lot harder to win with a hero and no footmen, then it is to win with units and no hero.

LOL ABOUT HEROES!?!?!?!!? ROFLMAO.... ahhh man that was funny. There is a reason its called Ultimate Footmen . I say if we can come up with a good name then change it.

How about Anarcists Footmen? I don't know if I spelt that right....


fixed your bold tag -Ogre

ok used as a noun whatever.

TO THE POINT i still think its a pretty ok name idea.

 

yeah i was thinking ultimate footmen could use a change. but then agian, it may just ending up cuasing confusion and maybe even less people palying ult footies.

 

Well if the changes between Ultimate Footmen .79 and .75. And .75 to .50. Happen again. Then Ultimate Footmen (new version) will be a new map. And how about a name that is like a synonym of Ultimate and just replace it. Like Maximum Footmen because no other footmen wars map ,unless the Ultimate Footmen team stops the project and we wait for about 10 years or so years, it would be the best footmen wars map around.

 

i like the name but maybe you could add on to it like
ULTIMATE FOOTMEN:wrath of destiny
(plz don't use this name it was only an example)

 

plz keep the name

 

I'm with all these people.

 

No need to change the name, as soon as you start making new Ultimate Footmens that other stuff will wash out.

But if you had to...

Dir en grey's Footmen

That's my suggestion.

>.>

<.<

 

Something like ripping off Ultimate Legend's name like...
Footman Legends...
Or maybe just changing it to Ultimate Footies...
Or Ultimate Footman Battles... Ultima Footman...
Mr.Apple's Footman Wars... Pollama Footman...
Footman Chaos... Footman Showdown...
Superior Footman... Footman Wars... Footman Fight... Footman Madness... Footman Mayhem...Hungry Hungry Footman... Angry Angry Footman... Footman Apocolypse...
Footman Battlefield...Footman Battlefront...Footman BloodWars...Etc...

 

maybe if we came up with word s that abreviated to ulti foots

Ultimate
Likeness of
The
Intrigueing

Fairly
Occasional
Obvious
Total
Struggle

(do not use this, it is simply an example nothing more)

I agree with slinger...
hah, no seriously... Ultimate Footmen only needs to be changed if you actually consider the spoofs a threat to the reputation of the map... which I don't, not evne Vgs 1.00c, which was a pitiful attempt in trying to get rid of UltF.

__________________

 

I came up with another one...

Footmen Massacre

 

I got a idea hmmmm this 1 took a while keep it ultimate footmen sry if this was 2 offensive! :afro:

Keep Ultimate Footmen, even if you think VG's version ruined it, it really didn't, on Azeroth i see more 1.00c games the 0.79c games, and besides, if you just make your new one and declare it Ultimate Footmen 1.10 or something, then everyone will play it, especially if it's a better map, which it probably will be considering how much more time you are putting into it, as opposed to VG's which was just meant to be a statement that it was ending and that you were no longer his partner. If you changed the name i believe less people will join, seeing as UltF X is no longer hosted, and that VG's is played about as often as 0.79c is, and as many have already said it has a nice ring to it

 

.79c well i believe its hosted about double or 3 times more actually.

maybe it is, as of late i haven't seen that many ultf games

 

I haven't seen any Footmen wars game in awhile. Even footmen frenzy. It's all covered by DotA. Don't get me wrong DotA's a great game but I'm more of a footmen wars then an AoS guy.

 

I only see a 1.00c like 1 in 10 out of ultimate footmens on azeroth. Used to be more of course, when people were still fooled by it.

 

Actually I have come to know that the server that the clan of a map is in. The map is more popular. That makes sense. And unfortunately for the east. Clan Halp is on the east also. And no offense of anything but because footmen frenzy is much more popular and was out longer. I rarely even see an Ultimate Footmen .79 or 1.00 now.

 

If you have dealt with the name alot you have better eyes for spotting it :chessey:

 

That's because I don't wear my glasses when I'm not the computer. Even through I'm not blind I still do miss things. But hard to find Ultimate Footmen when almost every page had

Dota
Dota
Dota
Dota
Dota
Dota
Footmen Frenzy
Dota
Dota
Uther party
some melee game
random letters
there's always that forgot dota AoS is better
A noob only something
A DL only game
Sometimes an Ultimate Footmen

That's what I always see when I go to battle.net. Good thing i can host.

 

You forgot one.

DOTA /NO LEVERS I GOT BANLIST SO I BAN YOU ALL IF YOU LAVE!!!!!!111oneone!!1

So I just join it and leave >. Lol?

Anyway

"Does Ultimate Footmen need a new Name"?

No. Simple as that. Not only it is hard to find a new name (due to all the other Footman Frenzy ripoffs), but name change will lead many people to confusing and we back to start...

I really do hate Frenzy rip-offs. They think that taking an old footmen wars map and add their heroes without even balancing them at all would be a huge only to find out that it died in less then a week.

 

How about..

Ultimate Footmen ~X~

Oh w8! Thats taken..

...

Ultimate Legends!

Oh w8! We dont suport gay rights..

...

Why dont we jsut call it Dota, just make a new acronym...

Do

Ok? I thought we already agreed on not changing the name and we were talking about how Ultimate Footmen isn't as hosted as much as it should but ok.

 

How about we call it...
Dota 2!
Hehe, im just bustin your chops.
Since the game is pretty much just about the heroes, I say we call it -

VHF!

Vicous
Hero
Fights

Eh?

Actually unless you have 15 minutes to spear. You need units at the end of the game if you are not playing with noobs then unless you are going against a really strong hero. Your army will be stronger then their hero. But some heroes are made to be able to even kill armies of tier 5 units.

 

Spare not spear.. why would you want to impale time anyways...

Also.. i kinda got the topic back on pace, because it was obviously off-topic, therefore SPAM.

__________________

 

Actually the reason for the topic is done. It was should Ultimate Footmen get a new name and most people vote no.

 

I think Ultimate Footmen can stay despite the ~X~ and 1.00c. As long as the next version is like 1.1 or something different. As long as people know its not one of the ripoffs, and its a good map, people will play it. Think about when .79c came out, people started hosting it alot.

 

I think whenever a long running game/map has it's name changed there's gonna be plenty of confusion. Also, I kinda like the name Ultimate Footmen. If you change it ppl won't know what map it is, unless they've been told about the name change.

 

I know you've been here for awhile so I have to ask that why would you post in a topic that is over 2 years old? Realize that circumstances were much different at the time.
