While i understand why a new name for the level 3 skeleton archer would be nice, i find this change especially bad. And according to what i've seen on IRC, a lot of other developer tend to agree with me (through some don't really care much). The problem is the new name is inappropriate and by far inferior to the old one. An Aptrgangr is a more or less a sort of undead body that crushes its victims. So this name gives the idea that the unit is a melee unit, which is especially out of place on a ranged unit since it gives a false idea of what the unit is... Moreover Aptrgangr isn't a nice name, because it's very obscure : - it's hard to spell correctly - very few people actually have heard of this name - it's uninformative : if doesn't realy show what the unit is. Informative names are usually better. For example the "Soul shooter" name did clearly show that the unit is actually an archer. The only positive side of the Aptrgangr i can see is it did fit well with the level 3 undead norse theme, that is IMHO not enough.
So please revert this change or find a new better names for this unit. _______________________________________________ Wesnoth-dev mailing list Wesnoth-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/wesnoth-dev
