Yeah . Just one small problem with names: Someone may take your name on the creature! So your tripods would probably be called tripods by some other dude or dudette.
I have a feeling that won't be a problem. If there's a creature named the same as yours then the game just won't load that creature into your universe. Or you can have 2 creatures named the same thing. I really dont think it will matter.
well, that's neat, fascinating this game, but it's an interesting name, but hey EA Maxis is all about creativity but I'm liking this pic, shows a lot of neat things about skin or fur...
Oh.. darn.. someone could use the same name as me.. /endsarcasm Really.. not something I would be too worried about.
Wel, if you really want to have a unique name, take a very strange random one like Zizzublepupfish or Minorillabu Wel, why not a whole list...
