Mikaelis Posted May 29, 2002 Share Posted May 29, 2002 Hubert, i´ve got a suggestion...Why don´t put the names of the units for every country in a pool, so we can edit it with historical ones? I´m sure it will REALLY increase the fun...After all, i prefer to play with my Bismark hunting the Hood and the King George V than just a simple Cruiser...

Hubert Cater Posted May 29, 2002 Share Posted May 29, 2002 Right click on the unit and there is an option to rename it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Dorosh Posted May 30, 2002 Share Posted May 30, 2002 I think the suggestion here was to include a drop down box with the entire list of unused historical names, so that players can select from the actual historical samples (without having to memorize what they are).

I´ll try to make myself clear. Yes, we can rename units of our side, but not of the opposing. The AI don´t name the units that built, but simply call them generic Cruisers, Tsnk Groups or Armies. If there´s a fixed (and editable!) pool of names, all units will have a proper name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrWinterbottom Posted May 30, 2002 Share Posted May 30, 2002 Actually, I was kinda hoping for something like that myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubert Cater Posted May 30, 2002 Share Posted May 30, 2002 Yup, sounds like a very good idea. Honest thing is that time is critical as you can imagine, but if anyone has the time to send me a complete catergorized list of all naval/air/land units at this scale for all countries that were used in the European Theater I just might have the chance to squeeze it in, but of course the standard disclaimer of no promises just in case I can't Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Clark Posted May 30, 2002 Share Posted May 30, 2002 I would also like this option!!! I'm not anywhere near an expert, but I'll see what kind of a list I can dig up quickly... Hopefully many others will do the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BloodyBucket Posted May 30, 2002 Share Posted May 30, 2002 This sounds like a challenge for the grogs like Dorosh and JasonC. I think I will post a link in the General forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GWDWD Posted May 30, 2002 Share Posted May 30, 2002 Originally posted by Hubert Cater: ...time is critical as you can imagine...Imagine? Maybe. Hope is more like it. I'm looking forward to further improvements as time goes on, but the fact is that I'm gonna get my $25 "investment" back several times with this one. Thanks, Hubert, for this game. Now quit reading and responding to all these posts and go back to work!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Clark Posted May 30, 2002 Share Posted May 30, 2002 Well, all my sourcebooks crapped out! Hopefully SuperTed can get the goods for Hubert! I really hope this option ends up in the final. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Dorosh Posted May 30, 2002 Share Posted May 30, 2002 But aren't there already a bunch of historical names in the game already? Why not just include a drop down list of all the names applicable to that unit type and nationality that are already in the game, with an option to type one of your own?
