Re-Name your unit

[MagisterMilitum]

I was assaulting an Iroquois city playing the Romans. It was just when a Cavalry Unit broke in, a Leader appeared, and then, a new window asking me how to name the victorious unit.

My question is: How can I get to re-name my units? What are the conditions? It happens only when the unit is victorious and produces a Leader? (It was the first time I ever saw this so I was really surprised and didnt understood it at first)

_Many thanks for your answer_

You can only rename an elite unit that produces a great leader.

But there were times when my unit would produce a Leader, and this re-name option wouldnt appear. Whats the magic on this?

[Deathwalker]

Is there anyway to rename a unit any time

[Arrian]

No. Unless you create a scenario via the editor. Then, I think you can place units and name them.

This feature has been introduced with the 1.29f patch only.

So if your infantry made a leader you could call it the elite second division or something like that?

Yep.

I named mine Grey Wolf Regiment. Had a nice ring to it. Seriously the reason that the rename option appears is so you can keep track of your elite units that generated the leader. Because these units can't generate another GL. It was hassle to try to keep track of those elite units that had generated leaders before the latest patch.

I once named a stack of Panzers "Hitler's Sex Toys", & they went on to destroy many a city, it was hilarious when I was drunk at 3AM yesterday. but it's still pretty funny!

Just what the **** you meant to say with that????????

So, im not a goddamned freaking nerd playing this game the whole ****ing day!
I play Civ for the entertainment it gives, I got a life out there, you know.

If you gonna make stupid comments like that you can go to hell, you hear?????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think Iskander was referring to the fact that it only took 8 days for someone to name a unit "Hitler's Sex Toys"...

Oh, and btw - even if he had meant it for you, it's not exactly the world's worst insult is it? And it certainly doesn't give you the right to flame the way you did. So there

Be careful re-naming!

I deal with many pop-ups in the game by pushing the "O" option - I did this with my first opportunity to rename a unit under 1.29f -- in this case a horseman. He was renamed "Horseman." On at least 4 or 5 subsequent occasions during the game, when I would right-click on my "unit storage city" to get a drop down of units there - I would see this damn "Veteran Horseman" unit and wonder why I hadn't already upgraded him to cavalry - which I then proceed to do by waking him, etc. . . . . only to see that "Horseman" was in fact a cavalry named Horseman.

Many a wasted mouseclick (and regularly failing memory) and now I generally content myself with the "*" to denote leader generating units and click on the "X" for the re-naming pop-up.
