Reunite names! The end is near!

With grave concern I see Zero-K moving towards to lose one of it's greatest assets:
cast games that are using current unit names. The casts are ongoing publicity for the game and confirmed source of player attraction. Thousands of views, the smallest interest sparked as small flame in potential players - snuffed out in an instant like candle in a rain. The darkness descends...

*Learning new unit names for old players - just a minor discomfort.
*Un-ergonomic multi-syllable new unit names - just a minor aspect.
*The general confusion during transition - not even worth mentioning.

*CASTS WITH NON-EXISTING UNITS - GREAT ASSET IS LOST.


Oh pray good people to Zero-K lords, as thy end is near!

Imagine a new player who watched an old cast with Sumo heatrays, just to see that on reality it Has some strange pulling lazors. Im quite sure he would abandon the attempt of ZK immiedetaly.

If you'd Ask me - the whole rename thing just for the sake of renaming is a bullshit.
But if they want to do it, and IT seems they do, cuz this topic was mentioned 100s of times, better do it all at once finally, and have it not mentioned ever again.

Have you ever watched a youtube video of an older season of League of Legends? The enemies are completely different, items are completely different, and characters behave differently. Typically what you do then is realize that you have to find a newer cast. Doesn't seem to be such a big problem to me, if there are going to be new casts.

This is why I cast games as regularly as possible[*], and also why I put the game version used in the description of each cast. I realize not everyone reads those descriptions, but it's the best I can do (short of including it in the video, which seems excessive) to ensure people watching the game know enough details to know whether to expect the game they are playing to be the same as the one they are watching. Also, by making new ones regularly, it ensures that there are at least a few videos that are reflective of the most recent changes, and that those videos are most visible to someone finding the channel, or searching for Zero-K videos from the past week or month.

I also doubt that a global rename (especially if it is the last one) will hurt the applicability of casts any more than the various mechanical and UI changes that have happened over the course of my ZK casts. The game is quite different in many visible ways since July 2013, so people watching old casts are watching an old, out-of-date game. This is the same with most games nowadays that have regular updates. Stuff changes, and that means old casts of basically any game need to tell the viewer what version of the game is used, since those casts will likely be obsoleted by updates to the game being casted. Whether that's a good thing or not is a different, and industry-wide, debate, but it's a thing that's been normalized one way or the other.

Since localizations are basically optional text replacements, perhaps we could have an English "localization" that bring back the pre-v1.2.4.9 names.

Licho rename was a criminal act, almost as vile as the Cudgel rename
