Sirs, this seems to bring up, at least in my mind anyway, a whole new government problem in itself. If we are to have a navy, how is it to be run? Would it not then be prudent to put in office a Secretary of the Navy once Map Making is found? It would seem to me to be the best way to control the navy. We'd need a chap who knows how to use the navy, and knows naval tactics, obviously. Would this not be so?

ships...

I doubt we will have lots of ships until late in the game. Do you usually build twenty Galleons for colonization purporses? I doubt. Of course, later in the game, when we might start building lots of ships, we should name them anymore, perhaps we could name fleets of ships instead, and only some strategic units, such as carriers (like Kingof the Apes said).

For instance, why not name a carrier: Maurice Greene, when it's missions is to send airplanes to attack a green-colored civ.

Even twenty ships wouldn't be hard to keep track of. I'd do it.

we have the time between turns , we are not doing 100 a day or so , so we have the time .

it can be done , just mark the squares on a piece of paper , or move the positions on a map ; example , someone makes a map , on that map are little dots , red for ships or so , with a small number , the number the name of the ship , ....

simple , ...

You would like that huh?

[redstar1]

Naming ships would be a laugh if nothing else, a bit of roleplay when things are going slowly. Why not name them after the citizens, in the order they joined?

[Kuciwalker]

Don't laugh, but I actually name the ships in my games. I have Notepad open and I have the name of each ship, the class of ship, and it's status (NEAR WASHINGTON, for example) listed. It also says what ships it killed (though I don't name other civs' ships) and when, as well as when and how it died (if it did). Hey! I said don't laugh!

I propose we name the first Battleship U.S.S. Apolyton, then name a carrier that if/when the Battleship is disbanded.

I want a carrier named D.A.S. Skywalker. Sounds better than JDD2007 .

hi ,

keep talking , .... , Firaxis , ....

there should be the option in the game to have in the window of the unit a space you as the player can fill-up

have a nice day

[Kuciwalker]

They said it would be implemented for units that created a leader.

hi ,

great , BUT lets think a bit further ; there should be small line we can fill in as players , it would be great for scenario's and mods also , ....

, is it possible to mod the unit infoscreen , ...

have a nice day


edit ; typo

[Aggie]

Naming ships would be a good idea, perhaps we should name them for people. Also the city names would work too. Names could be like monuments, for example if we win a war based on somebodies ideas we can name a ship after him, for example "the trip" or maybe "the sir ralph". Perhaps our first galley could be named for the minister of expansion "the jonny", though i'm afraid people might refer to it as "the john"
