Ship Names

[Signa]

This idea was floated by a few people for Civ3 itself, but i wonder if anyone else thinks they should include this little cosmetic change.

It could work like this...

*Name Replaces Unit Type, or a hypen*
*Stats*
*Terrain*

And BTW, the automatic name for a ship could be a historical name, like "Enterprise" for America or "Yamato" for Japan, or they could use the city lists. People could of course custom and modify the names.

Not on the top of my list , but sure why not

I think in PTW, we'll be able to rename elite units that produce leaders (so that's only land units sadly). Can anyone confirm this?

As I've said before, I think you'll be very pleased by the cool stuff that's been crammed into the forthcoming patch.

Hey Dan, you are such a TEASE sometimes!!!
Don't suppose you could drop us a few HINTS, or, at the least, let us know HOW forthcoming it is
Anyway, keep up the great work Dan!

Yours,

I suggested this way back when...

Remember the old 'White Wolf Studios' game "Empire Deluxe'?

In that game, every completed unit, land sea or air, was given a random title based on its city.

So you'd get 101 Shurrupak Infantry, or 3rd Isandlwana Tank Guards Division.

And the slot was clickable, so you could rename them whatever you wanted (Emperor Seeker's Praetorian Guard for example)

That is very, very cool

After that tease Dan gave us I'll wait as long as necessary to get this patch. Unit naming will rock. Anything that helps the civer get more immersed in the game is good.

a strait answer would be better, his little games are just getting us angry and worried! AHHHH, DOES THAT MEAN ITS IN OR NOT! OH GOD, IS THIS HOLE XP GOING TO BE A COMPLETE WASTE OF TIME!? IS IT! COME ON! TELL ME! IS THIS JUST ANOTHER GET RICH QUICK PLAN? COME, TELL ME, I'LL UNDERSTAND, I'M NOT 3 YEARS OF AGE!

Kinda like SW Rebellion... I like it.

Also...

Could be great put a name to land areas (America, Europe, Gibraltar Straight, Atlantic Sea....) and that the owner of the land area of where the invisible pole is could change it (this should be an option avaible in the editor, for avoid Bananalands in an accurate scenario).

Also, this names could be used in negotiation "withdraw the troops that are near Sapporo, in Australia" for example (specially useful after the civ has created Sapporo, New Sapporo, Sapporo 2 and New Sapporo 2 ).

Hmm... Well, every time they've given straight answers about development projects which are then left out for whatever reason, they have been publicly declared to be servants of Hades. Since some childish losers refuse to be able to handle pre-release rumors, they have to do things like this.

So quit whining.

hi ,

all that is needed is a blank space that the players can fill in , ....

have a nice day

[HazieDaVampire]

oh oh oh, and don't add any things that you cant delete, like HMS , or USS or IJN or whatever!
Actualy when i think of it, having them there as default would be good, but aslong as we can delete them!
