Can't rename armies

Post by Ironclad »

Whilst Alt left click is working fine for name changing other units its having no effect on the tabs for the two CSA armies that have been created in the full war scenario that I'm currently playing.

Northern armies can't be renamed, either. May be intended.

Also when I rename divisions etc and then place them into an army the name reverts back.

Must check that out - have missed that one. The inability to rename an army must be a bug, surely - unless there's another way to do it. I've moved one of the two CSA armies from east to west - so currently (in 1861) the Army of the Shenandoah is now operating in Mississippi/Tennessee!

If it's not too late to make it for the patch, respectfully request AGEOD allow players to rename armies and for renamed divisions to keep their new names once dropped into an army stack. It's sometimes easier for me to keep track of formations once I've named them something which helps me remember.

Sadly Army renaming is not possible at this time, because the game checks some specifics of each army (like region of creation) against their name, so if you change it, you confuse the program.
Right now, before improving with new features, we are aiming at providing players a patch (or several) which will fine tune the game.
