Slippery Jim Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 Minor bug...got a lot of the same soldier first name. In the attached screenshot you will see how many Katrina soldiers were generated on starting a new game. Apparently the name Katrina was very popular.

ulfang Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 Also interesting that 2 same names were generated (smirnov). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaguya Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 (edited) Not really a bug. There is only one first name for each nationality in soldiernamesfemale.xml, so there's no alternatives. If you add more names by hand into the file, you'll get more variety. Also interesting that 2 same names were generated (smirnov). Also somewhat related, since there's only 8 surnames per nationality, so getting two by the same name isn't extremely rare.. albeit the game should keep track of that and prevent dupes.

erutan Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 I had two Englands in mine (not Chris) - perhaps he has some relatives in game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 The database have to be extended. If there are less names, the higher the chance to get the same ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buzzles Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 Lots of Katrinas hey? I wonder if there's any Waves to go with that. Hopefully some sunshine too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeatStroganoff Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 I got two Chris England's the last time I started a new game. Maybe after the alien invasion we decided human cloning was okay. More meat for the grinder that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
