Nod infantry names
To differentiate Nod more from GDI I am thinking of giving Nod infantry more religious names, rather than simply being called light infantry or rocket infantry. Below are some idea I came up with. Are there any other more suitable religious themed names? Right now I have:
Light infantry = Acolyte
Rocket Infantry = Zealot
Stealth Trooper = Elite Cadre (though this is not religious is it?)

I prefer the first names yea, but it might be confusing for players who are not familiar with the names. Other names that you could have though while we are on it.
-Believer
-Witness
-Follower
-Disciples
-Exarch (would be a high ranking unit)
-Apostle
-Neophyte
-Techpriest (Engineer?)
-Inquisitor
-Faithful
Or you could go in another direction
-Heretic
Just a few that I could think of. _________________ Beta Tester for Mental Omega 3.0
Disciple (Light infantry)
Zealot (Rocket infantry)
Tech Priest (Engineer). I know, I know, they are from Warhammer 40k...
Elite Cadre (Stealth Trooper)
Confessor
Cyborg and Cyborg Commando remain unchanged. Not sure a religious name would work for them since they are mutants who have been turned into war-machines, not genuine Nod supporters. _________________ QUICK_EDIT

Cyborgs could be called chosen or something? Some cyborgs I believe are voluntary servants such as the cyborg commando, so maybe a name such as Chosen or something for the Commando would be appropriate.
What about GDI? Light Infantry is kinda boring, perhaps something like Peacekeeper? _________________ Beta Tester for Mental Omega 3.0

Light Infantry does make more sense now though, since GDI also have Heavy Infantry.
Kane's Wrath calls its cyborgs Awakened and Enlightened. Though I feel if the cyborg infantry names were changed, then it would make sense to change Cyborg Reaper and Annihilator names too, and then tick tank, artillery, etc, which would be too much of religious names. Cyborgs are close to being vehicles / war-machines, so I think it would be ok to call them just Cyborgs, and this way they stay in line with their vehicle counterparts, Cyborg Reaper and Cyborg Annihilator. Bit like GDI has the different Orca types, Orca Fighter, Orca Bomber, Orca Transport. _________________ QUICK_EDIT
Engineer should stay as Engineer, or Saboteur. Same goes for Cyborgs and other special units (although I have nothing against names like Cyborg Templar). _________________ QUICK_EDIT
Templar makes me think of a heavy armed soldier. How 'bout Acolyte for this one?
The Stealth Trooper is actually pretty well armored (Strength=200, Armor=light) and has a powerful laser rifle. They are also slowish (Speed=4). So they are more combat oriented than their name would give away. Also their armor kinda resembles that of real templars:
What about Mechanist for Nod engineer? It has a religious tone to it. If anyone is familiar with the Thief series on PC they might notice I took it from there _________________ QUICK_EDIT
