Using Arabs when there are plenty of Turks available for killing and dying? :roll:

[BTAxis]

Nobody wants to use Turkish soldiers. It's a pain to model all the moustaches.

:?:  :?

I don't have any.We're more like Greeks nowadays.

Bureaucracy is especially like in Italy.Ever see a macromedia flash show made by Bruno Buzzetto?Italy and EU?Thats us just as well...

So it would pump you with xp and level you up to deny the stereotype

HESITANT EDIT:I noticed that you are from Holland.The Turks over there are guys possess the least level of education,and culture of our country.They got there because most of them were useless here,and unemployed.

I trust every "uneducated" population class on earth can wake an unpleasant opinion in the country they have emigrated.

In short.They are not the real Turks.And I hope I'm not labeled as a racist pig........sieg heil

I took the liberty of peeking into then current names.ufo and saw that most names have been added to the list.
Any particular reason why the scandinavian, italian and english male first names were not? Or did you simply forget to add 'em?
Not that I complain. Just curious...

[Hoehrer]

I just forgot to add them... fixed now.

A few comments on the Scandinavian names:

Netherlands is not a part of Scandinavia, so the dutch names doesn't belong in that group.

The comments in the file says "Please do not use "...son" or "...dottir" as a family name yet, they are male/female-spezific". This is wrong. In modern Scandinavia names like Nilssen/Nilsson are not gender specific, and the dottir ending is generally not used. The exception is Iceland, but Iceland are usually not considered a part of Scandinavia. So I suggest that they are included again, preferably with a mix of ..son (Swedish) and ..sen (Norwegian/Danish) endings.

Soeren should be spelled Søren.

Here are some more Scandinavian names:

Male:
Gustaf/Gustav
Kristian/Christian
Henrik
Olav/Olaf
Martin
Inge (Should be removed from the female list)
Andreas
Kjell
Anders
Tor
Bjørn/Björn
Sven
Jon
Rune (I just had to add my own name )

Female:
Anne/Anna
Lise
Emma
Kari/Karin
Eva
Astrid
Berit
Ingrid
Sara
Ida
Eli
Tove
Liv
Unni

Lastname:
Berg (should be removed from male firstname list)
Lie
Aas
Skog
Lund
Haugen
Vik
Hagen
Lund

There was an application written by someone I know, that created names according to nationality. It was free of charge and supposed to be used as a tool for gamers.

The name generator (if that was what it was called) was written by Alexeei Khrakov working under the name "Ambulocetus" (who also wrote a decent 2d space shooting game called U-Space that was discontinued).

It is hosted at:

http://www.winsite.com/bin/Info?15000000036610

for example.

It has a lot of possible names for a very large number of nationalities.

As I was reading through all the forums today, to catch up with what has been done in the past, I tossed at this conversation. I was just wondering if you guys were kidding here...

[BTAxis]

Sure we were. Though there would be people here who wouldn't be. Some people here can't cope with the multicultural society, and turn racist (though it's more of an anti-islam sentiment than racism). It's becoming a big problem.

[Mattn]

what do you mean with "here"?

[BTAxis]

The Netherlands. Germany and Belgium are having similar problems, though.
