jon_j_rambo Posted April 24, 2004 Share Posted April 24, 2004 What would cool is when you name a unit, that it would appear on the actual piece. Ships names are on the unit counter. Currently, I check enemy units by clicking on them & checking the experience bars. If the unit counter's had their names on always visible, that would cool. When organizing my own pieces, I could quickly recogonize who is who. I'm sure you guys have mentioned this somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerseyJohn Posted April 25, 2004 Share Posted April 25, 2004 I haven't given this much thought before but you're right, most other games do show all the units names when you're looking at a general area of the map. As Shaka put it so long ago, though, what we have in SC isn't the German and Soviet armies with different attributes, but the Blues and the Reds, so I think the natural tendancy is to just look at the units and their current values without even thinking about what they're being called. Along these lines I remember an early piece of excellent advice you offered, ships have names, write them down and keep track of which ones have been sunk.

jon_j_rambo Posted April 25, 2004 Author Share Posted April 25, 2004 Sir Jersey --- Alot just depends on how historical people want the game. I guess that's the reason for the advanced editor requests. It's probably not that important to give names to units if like Shaka says,"they are blue or red". But if charactristics are nationality specific, then maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerseyJohn Posted April 25, 2004 Share Posted April 25, 2004 General Rambo, Agreed, it's the sort of thing I'd enjoy having, as would many others, but not overly important for game play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sombra Posted April 26, 2004 Share Posted April 26, 2004 IT is not overly important for the game but would be a nice feature if you could combine it with renaming units yourself: Rambos first platoon, Ramboos dogs, Rambos nightmare... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wodin Posted April 27, 2004 Share Posted April 27, 2004 A agree a very good feature which should be included. Its little features like this that gives a game its character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon_j_rambo Posted April 27, 2004 Author Share Posted April 27, 2004 I think this graphical feature would be cool, seeting the unit's name on the board. True as stated, it doesn't change the mechanics, but Herman Georing's Panzer Division vs 101st Airborne is too cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
