Hey, that's a really neat idea.  I haven't heard it before.  I see it's
been ~6 months since that email.  Have you done any work on
implementation, or planning?

My thought on reading it was that it could make use of the city naming
module recently ported from xconq.  Those people really obsessed with the
details of the unit warfare could associate unit names with the nation
sets (ie Sherman, Bradley, etc. tanks for US) and the evolving models
could then have unique names.  Anyway, just a thought.
