Change Unitnames ?!

Post by Conny D »

Looks like a nice game, think about purchasing it. But on all screenshots ive seen units have no historical names. That means they are all numerical like 5th infantry 6th infantry 7th infantry etc, whereas in real life it was f.e. Anderson's Bde, Colquitt's Bde, Mahone's Bde, Kershaw's Bde etc. This goes for Divisions as well.
So I'd like to know is there any way to change unitnames to historical appropriate, name them after commanders?!

The units that start the scenario generally have historical names, after that they are named generically.

However, you can absolutely rename your brigades, divisions, corps, armies, fleets, etc. [:)] You can even give them customized flags.

this is true as well as add in leaders. You can lets say add a leader to an area and have a unit spawn there for example Tattered Volunteers. This unit holds dear to me and actually the reason I bought the Game. This was my GG Grandfathers Unit. the 27th Alabama Infantry. He was Captain of Company A. Alot of the boys in that Unit were from northwest Alabama. Muscle Shoals, Florence, Russellville, Red Bay etc. Great Job by this addition. This particular Unit has a very tragic History but very Valient in the cause.
