Something just really random.
After reviewing wargames (on TV) i think we should rename the cpu to WOPR.
Like the computer in the movie.
Just another random suggestion.

Rename CPU

I don't know about changing the "[CPU]" tag that is a prefix to AI names in game but I do know you can change the actual name of them when setting up a game by using NameChange method #2.
What are you on about, daset? In the last three topics that I have seen, you have posted utter nonsense. The hell?
As to this particular suggestion, it would require IV to rewrite some small chunk of code, somewhere -- this isn't something that can be easily changed by modding. However, [CPU] does not seem to be part of the player name for the particular entity, so the server shouldn't care if different players have different prefixes for their CPUs. So, if IV were going to make the change required, I would suggest that the [CPU] prefix be moved to a string in english.txt, so that it can be edited by the players. If you want your cpus to be called [WOPR], you can change that on your own machine, and no one else has to see it.

That would be a very elegant solution. I'm in favour of such changes: if any change at all is made (-which at this point I do not feel necessary, but I don't necessarily speak for "the community"-) it should be made in the least intrusive way possible. So the changes aren't forced on all players (especially something trivial as the CPU tag).
