Units with same name

[Uxbridge]

I'm going to change the names of the units to something shorter. A historical OOB makes no sense to me on this scale and the long, often incomprehensible unit-ID:s clutter the map.

This may then be a stupid question, but is there a risk that two units with the same name will somewhere overwrite each other and disappear? Or maybe crash the game?

My hope is that I can instruct the automatic naming of units, based upon the unit_names.csv, to call all infantry for "Inf" regardless of them being divisions or corps. Is this dangerous?

The reason I don't want to make a distinction between div and corps is that an upgraded div will still bear the name of div after the upgrade. And if I rename it "corps" there's always the risk of a corps with the same number already in existence. The only way to be sure its not would be to click around the entire front. I therefore prefer if all inf units were just inf, told apart by their numbers.

Even if you will have two units with the same name, nothing bad should happend.

Thanks. [;)]

I am a stickler for naming and I often find that the Unit Creation function and I will choose the same name for a unit. Other than aggravation this causes no problems. I have come close to writing a program to take a save game and "normalize" the names. Too much changes just no to code this.
