You know how when you play the 100 player map, there are countries like "West Yakutia" and "North Argentina"? These countries still keep their regional variant(North, East, South, West) even after they conquer the world. I mean, why are you North Argentina, when there IS no more South Argentina? So I propose this new name change feature. Here's how it would work(hypothetically).
First, there are a few rules you must follow.
1) The name of your country must be appropriate according to the CoW guidelines.
2) The name of your country must make sense. If you are Germany, you shouldn't be allowed to change your name to Kyrgyzstan.
3) It cannot be a name that is already in use.
Also, you can only change your name if-
-You fulfill a certain amount of VP- for example, you need 150 VP to name change(this way, you can't immediately change your name)
-You are in the top 3/5/10/etc in your game(this way, there is only a certain number of people who can change name at any given time)
-You can change your name twice per game
How would the name changes be moderated, though? Easy answer- the game admin. The game admin is basically a ceremonial role- in computer-generated games, you can't do anything as game admin. The game admin would, under these new rules, have the power to change anybody's name if it is inappropriate. If anyone abuses the admin power, they would be punished accordingly. If someone has an inappropriate name and the admin does nothing, players can also report if necessary.
I also thought of another possibility for aesthetic changes in the game- the ability to change your flag. What happens is Bytro designs a series of national flags that can only be unlocked through gameplay. Two ways this could be implemented are:
A) They are unlocked, like achievements, from playing on certain maps. Take the 100p map, for example. You start out as Ontario, and you successfully conquer all the Canadian provinces(Ontario, Quebec, Manitoba, Yukon, Saskatchewan, BC, Alberta). As your reward, you can unlock a Canadian flag, which you can switch to anytime you're playing a 100p map and you pick one of the Canadian nations as your starting country.
B) "Flag pieces" are found in supply drops, like blueprints. When all pieces are assembled, a flag is unlocked that can be used for whenever you play as certain countries. For example, if you unlock all pieces of the, say, American flag, you can use it whenever you play as a nation that is correlated to the USA.
Of course, there would also be an option to purchase flags for gold.
These new aesthetic ideas are personally some of the ideas I'm praying gets passed for the most, because it earns Bytro money but isn't a pay-to-win. Thoughts?
