Here is a list of TWisms that I have come across during my time in ... the TW multiplayer community.
Babyphants A prepubescent elephant that is used to save the money of a normal elephant, but has the disadvantage of being similar in stature to a large dog.
Catacamels A Parthian unit that is heavily armoured like a cataphract, but has the advantage of fear causing and spitting.
Catephractephants The most expensive unit in the game, this heavily armored elephant is the most dangerous unit in RTW. Also called Armoured Elephants, or Elephracts.
Cavspam Using a monotonous strategy of picking the same unit over and over, or similar unit types to compensate for a max per type rule. Also known as a delicious canned meat to put on toast.
Clanhopper A player that cannot maintain his compsure in one clan for an extended period of time, and frequently shifts allegiances. IE: Daman is a clanhopper.
Elite The categorizing wherein a player believes himself or his peers to be of a higher status than others. Although there is no definitive categorization for players who are called to be elite, it is commonly an internal struggle to raise the ego and make oneself feel pretty.
***Spy The popular name given to gamespy, due to its inefficiency and horrible multiplayer platforming. Although the term is used, there is no evidence that GS practices an alternate lifestyle.
High Florin Noobs Players that use a ridiculous amount of money and make armies of the best units with all upgrades. Low money players refuse to acknowledge this as a skilled game.
Javcav Cavalry that is equipped with a javeline, this unit has a skirmish ability and a secondary attack function for melee.
Low Florin Pricks The majority of the community that use low money, and tend to isolate themselves from the rest of the community that uses more money. These players tend to be competetive clannies.
Noob A new player to the game who lacks the skill and knowledge of an experienced player. Noob is a term that is not defined by time, but by skill. A player who has been playing the game for a long time can still be a noob.
Noob Box An enclosed area made of pikes to prevent players from entering the middle and finding their buried treasure. That is the only reason I can justify this lame formation. Buried treasure.
Professional Noob A player that plays TW religiously, yet is proned to make the mistakes of a first timer. IE: Dagonet is a professional noob.
Rome Noob A player that started playing the TW series online in the RTW stage. They are typically a potty-mouthed, immature bunch that abuse the game and the community. They have a natural instinct to despise Vets.
Ronin A player that does not play in a clan, either because he recognizes that most clans are tools, or that he has not been engulfed by a spamclan yet.
RPGers Players that have taken on a role playing identity, and use it despite making themselves look like fools. IE: The Wolves are RPGers. HowLwowowlLWlwl.
Spamclan A clan that appears out of nowhere and somehow manages to have 10 members online at all times. Rumors state that these clans recruit anything that has a pulse, or not. Sometimes not.
Trophies Trophies are insignificant graphics that are created to designate the winner of a said event. Trophies are often worn in signatures as text and/or graphics. IE: Warman is the 3 time BHC world champion.
Vet A player that played in the Shogun/MTW days, that feels as though the new group of players (and game) and poor in comparison to the 'good old days.' Vets usually suffer from delirious nostalgia, as well as hype their skills over their actual performance.
