Where did you get your name from

If it does, nobody has told me in 6 years.

And we will continue not telling you

Beautiful place, that. All of Okinawa, actually.

As to my name, I won't tell. It's a secret.

Ironside was the name of one of my better generals in one MTW campaign.

Semi-ironic take-off from my real forename. Keeps me from getting arrogant. Based on the most common V&V my otherwise decent governors and heirs suffer from...

Thanks, I thought it was kind of clever but it doesn’t really have any meaning behind it. I dig the way some people (like you) have a name that means something to them.

My favorite unit in MTW were billmen and they recieve a valour bonus if their produced in Mercia, thus mercian billman seemed appropriate.

**Tachikaze** · 06-01-2006, 18:14

You know another year has passed when the "How Did You Choose your Name?" thread pops up. It's an old favorite.

When there was only Shogun: TW, many of us chose Japanese nicknames. Mine means "the wind caused by a sword swing". I found it as the name of a WWII Japanese destroyer.

In other instances, I use Bachikaze, which would mean "the wind caused by swinging a drumstick" (not a chicken leg).

What's really strange is that I got deja vu reading this post.

**ajaxfetish** · 06-02-2006, 03:14

It's a long story involving a toaster and a Chinese priest. I don't think anyone here really wants to hear it.

**Divine Wind** · 06-03-2006, 03:44

On the Shogun Total War expansion Mongol Invasion, there was a nice little intro video at the start of the campaign, which talked of the Divine Wind that sunk the invasion fleet and scuppered those Mongols from invading Japan.
