Poll: Which name rolls off the tongue better?
(Vote): Factium
(Vote): Pandemonium
(Vote): Faction Arms
(Vote): Imperium
(Vote): Iron Conflict
(Vote): Vortex

Hello everyone! A colleague and I are having trouble deciding what we should name our MMOBBG that we are working on, which has strategic elements and similarities to Tribal Wars and Travian. So we've decided to come up with 6 possible names and cast several polls on several sites to get a better pool of results. With that said, which name do you prefer, or rather which name rolls off the tongue better?

Imperium sounds nicest in my opinion.
If I were looking at a list of games with those names, I would be most intrigued by Imperium.

But that's just me.

Factium: Seems all right, although I don't feel strongly for it

Pandemonium: I wouldn't go with this unless you would actually describe your game as pandemonium, which I'm guessing you wouldn't

Faction Arms: Doesn't seem like the name of the type of game you are creating

Imperium: Sounds too much like the travian unit called an imperian

Iron Conflict: Doesn't make sense to me

Vortex: Seems too generic to me

edit: I'm intentionally picky... of course you can name it whatever you want lol

Are you sure none of these are taken?

Idk if there is such a thing as 'taken' for these kind of games, but you might want to look into it before you get too attached to these names.

That being said, I voted for pandemonium, with Imperium being a close second imo.

Depends on the game art, setting and overall feel. It's impossible to give an appropriate name suggestion without any covering information.

Factium is probably one of the stupidest fake names I have ever seen (somehow lol), just had to put that out there. Imperium is better.
Peace~

Imperium reminds me of the harry potter imperius curse. At least, I think that's what it was called, fuck if I remember. It sounds a lot cooler than pandemonium though, but pandemonium is hella fun to say. How'd you come up with these names anyway? Half of them sound latin or like you took them from the period table or something.

imperium is the best, but I have difficulty believing its not already taken

Voted faction arms.

More importantly, I would LOVE to try it. Played both travian for 3 servers and tribal wars for about 1 year.
