Give Specialist their names!

[Avitus]

like in RA2 or Tiberium sun, the Elite Unit should have unique names.
its strange that in the cutscenes or cinematics they are called by name, like the Snipers callsign is "Scope" and her real name is "Bronagh Cregan"

also the Medics name is Dylan Trembla and com officer name is Ed Hayes.
Same as the rest and the ones from the Dynasty.

i would give the game more depth and more "soul" for characters you care for over time.

like in the other RTS, Tanya in RA2 or Jamal Kell in Generals or Umagan/Ghoststalker in Tiberium Sun.

I completely agree!

Thats pretty much what confused me at first (because i started playing Skirmish directly).
I assumed Specialists are stronger units that need more resources and conditions to be created and hence their standard unit name that seemed true.
But this isnt at all how its intended or working in the campaign.

But the problem would be, you can train them more than one at a time and that would mean you have two Cregans on the field etc.

That would be weird

you cant train them more, bc they are limited to 1 unit at tiime

Pretty sure you can have more than 1 sniper in skirmish but don't quote me on that

They even say, try to not get them killed, it would be nice if they could have random names if some of them died, becuase i think there are more of any specialist then only one

Yeah. I like the idea of random names actually.
Or have a defined pool of names so you have recognition when you see the same ones repeatedly.
It has been a long time ago, but didnt Warcraft 3 also have random hero names for its skirmish heros?

[Humble]

I had no issues with, no need name for it, but 1 limited is shame. Oh well, each to own.
