Historically a horde was when several tribes were brought together under common rule and integrated. Seeing as this is essentially what happened to the remnants of the original Golden Empire, perhaps Golden Horde?

[@deanfrost9494]

Oh, nice. 🤔👍 It seems especially fitting because the colony has been integrated more than once already.

[@Dukeflyhawker]

New name suggestion: The Golden Legacy Side note: Although the votes for keeping the old name are leading by a wide margin, the AC Senate should have final say, and here's my case for a new name: Unless their a scientific ability and probability that the old colony can pass their DNA onto the new colony, the new colonies will be 100% free of the old colony within a matter of weeks when the last member of the Golden Empire dies. Unless: A) You managed to save at least one OG queen that made the merger. B) DNA from the OG workers can imprint on the new colony in some other way, I.e. interacting with the queens or elates, or prophylaxis? This may require some deeper research. But that's it. If their DNA is not passed on to the new colony, keeping the old name makes no sense.

[@kharga9046]

No. The ac senate should not have final say. Just because they paid money to support the channel and have a right to exclusive perks and early access doesn’t mean that they should be able to make absolute decisions against the majority, period. Edit: and the name does make sense because almost by definition an empire especially a long lasting one has multiple dynasties and eras. Just look at Rome or Han China for example.

Maybe the crickets could be called, “The Golden Mimics,” because they mimic the smell of the ants, and if the name did change, maybe it could be called the, “Golden Renaissance,” because its the, “rebirth,” of the Golden Empire, because he had fused another colony to revive the former Golden Empire.

A week late, but I don't think the colony needs a name change.
