More to the point, since it isn't clear from Spiffor's template, we can define the following for any MP game...

Name: [Leader Name, not me]
Formal: [Civ name in Diplomacy]
Noun: [Civ name in other Displays]
Adjective: [I only found it in the cutural advisor 'the [i]Adjective[i/] people...
Title: [Leader's title in Diplomacy]

for instance the Ottomans are:
Name: Osman
Formal: Ottomans(?)
Noun: Ottomans
Adjective: Ottoman
Title: Sultan

I would propose:
Name: Rider
Formal: Gathering Storm
Noun: Gathering Storm
Adjective: Raging
Title: ?

I do not know what we want to use for title, outside of this forum.

Why not stick with Poobah for the leader's title? Then our people can celebrate "We love the Poobah's day." The question then becomes, what is the name of our Poobah. Maybe Poobah Thunderhead? (If we had a resident artist, a cloud with a face in it might make an interesting "leader picture" to go with that, or maybe I'm just in a bit too much of a silly mood right now.)

Regarding the adjective, it would presumably be used for things like "Ottoman worker" or "Ottoman city." The best I can come up with on short notice is "Stormian," but I'll let you know if I come up with better.

So we would have:

Civ : Egypt
Name of Civ : Gathering Storm
Noun : Gathering Storm
Adjective : Stormian (?)
Title of the leader : Poobah
Name of the leader : Thunderhead (?)
Colour : German Blue

Adjective (name of people): Tempest(s)
Leader Title: Grand Poobah

"Riders" on the "(gathering)Storm" sounds fine by me.

Seems apropriate enough

It's almost too bad we aren't playing China. Riders on the Storm indeed. Heh.

Ok, ok...

Leader Name: Rider
Formal: Gathering Storm
Noun: Gathering Storm
Adjective: Tempestous

Alternative Leader name: Stormbringer

Poobah is more of a "amongst ourselves" leader name, don't you think?

I like Stormbringer as a leader name.

Tempestuous war chariots, Tempestuous cavalry, Tempestuous cities, etc? Not bad.

For title, does anyone mind if we use Chief?

I'd really like to see our people called Tempests.

I can hear it now

"Sound the alarm! Chief Stormbringer and his Tempest armies are here! Run for your lives!"

ooh that sounds cool.

Arrian that would have been too much if we were Riders on the Gathering Storm. Jim Morrison would be rolling in his grave (if he's even dead at all!).

uh oh the Doors came on to my mp3 playlist just as I said that....woah....

ManicStarSeed, I think you're missing the point of the adjective.

England -> English
France -> French
Japan -> Japanese
Russia -> Russian

Tempestuous works (at least more or less) because a tempest is a type of storm and "tempestuous" can be used (misused?) to refer to something belonging to a tempest. Stormian would be more directly tied to our actual name. But while storms can cause tumult, they are merely one of a number of things that can, so there's nothing about "tumultuous" that really signifies something as belonging to or being part of Gathering Storm.

Yeah, You are right. I was just brainstorming...hehe there is a pun in that....

Stormian would make the most sense in this case. I think we should bite the bullet and use it.

quote: Originally posted by Meshelic I like Tempest better.

I'm not overly fond of the duality involved in having essentially two distinct names: "Gathering Storm" and "Tempests." But I can live with it if others like it. With "Tempests" as an alternative noun (at least implicitly), "Tempest" as an adjective would make sense, although it's not a word I normally think of as an adjective.

Another possibility would be just to use "Storm" as the adjective, with "Gathering" implied. Such a usage could come about easily enough if people talked about "Gathering Storm this" and "Gathering Storm that" and then the usage got abbreviated over time to just "Storm." So we would have Storm cavalry, Storm cities, etc. (And if you don't mind a bad pun, every cellar in our civ would be a Storm cellar. )
