Fair enough Fizzer. The name isn't exactly natural. Still don't see a major problem; not enough to abandon the keywords you totally own.

You have made your mind up. The name will change. Therefore, consult the community about the name change. In my opinion, you've decided to change the name, so sat down for 5 minutes and thought about a generic game name containing a 'war' prefix. That sucks and you know it. Another name is essential. Nothing generic. Nothing misleading.

Have you even read this thread?

I have to agree with everyone. I also found something out:
"warlight.com" is a redirect to a business finder site.

Warlight.com is being held unfairly with the only purpose being to make you be unable to change the domain. Check if the domain was purchased before ours, so you can claim extant domain

@qwed117

They purchased the domain 21 years ago and Fizzer has already tried to purchase the warlight.com from them....

Alternate Names :

Strategy Battles
Tactical Analysis
Homosexual Friendly Virtual War Simulator
2x Strategy ( Expand, Exterminate )
Total Domination

Warlight sounds so much better than Warzone!!!!!

Just would like to point out, I highly doubt Fizzer sat down only for 5 minutes to think of a name change when he went ahead and bought the domain name. You're employing a logical fallacy in order to emotionally sway people. I bet you've spent far less time thinking of a domain name than Fizzer has, given that he actually owns this site and is trying to start marketing it.

no1 will use ur dum names genghis

or ur single-player ww2 trash scenarios

No1 will use ur dum europe map or irn/irq scnrio. Jst bing rel wit yu.

Red menace making critiques about single player scenarios when he can't even make an original map

Soon those words won't be true with my next project.

Well that would be great if your O zone didn't have a hole in it. You're going to give everyone that visits the site some sort of internet radiation dosage that will blind them. Making them unable to see Warlight's greatness. I can only presume you are also spraying harmful digisols which caused your O zone to leak while you were making the image without even realizing it. Please be more considerate before attempting to contribute.

Sorry I ozoned out, what do you want?

warzone makes me think of some kind of on the ground game, like a first person shooter or something similar. and if i saw the name i would think it was some cheap generic call of duty knock-off and probably not even waste my time investigating.

warzone makes you think the game takes place in a... war zone, and you play as a soldier. this game is more like being a general hovering over a map and directing armies.

warlight doesn't really mean anything, but it does have the advantage of being unique. to me it's a lot more intriguing than warzone. a unique name suggests the game will require a little more brain power to play, and the game is a little more original than a call of duty clone, and that it is not pandering to the masses (and therefore is not a clone of some super popular game).

sure, hindsight probably plays into this more than i want to admit.

i will play regardless, and i will be one of those cranky guys that still calls it warlight years later, and it's ok. if you are this far into the process, might as well keep going, but don't get rid of the warlight name and domain cause there are so many ways this could not work out.

with the new name we can make this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yMR382aefmQ our new theme song though

"A Warlight by any other name would be just as strategic" - me

sorry jesus, but a half century of psychology experiments would show shakespeare's wrong on that one.
