Actualy when i think of it, having them there as default would be good, but aslong as we can delete them!

hi ,

, delete , ...the option should be yes and no , and there should be the option to show it , on and off , ...

have a nice night

[Carver]

I wonder what the name of Panag's first battleship or carrier will be.

[Wise Ass]

Well his first one will be called Hi.

The last one will be Have a nice day.

It is the ones inbetween I am curious about.

Panag, nothing personal (your post simply suggest my note, as the last of many others) but I noticed this forum as the largest "make it an option" place around here

Sometime I bet I missed someone requesting for a game starting pop-up "Do you want to play? Yes, I bought the whole thing with that purpose/No, just clicking around my computer desktop to waste some minute"

(And I noticed that the autorun CD pop-up ask me to Install or Play the Game, but that doesn't count IMHO ).

best one i saw all week
And yes i agree with you, this option obsession thing is getting silly.

Have a nice day 'yes'(suggested) or 'no'(default)

i thinks its cuz some people don't like some things we are asking for, so they'll like to be able to turn it off!

I would be all for the "option" of labels, a la Sim City. That way, I can label geographic areas to help me when scanning around my empire. This feature could be toggled off when not needed, of course.

Yes, that's what I was thinking of also.

And to answer the initial question of this thread, there will be an option to name units with the next patch, either when they become elite, or through the editor.

[ixnay]

New readme says you can rename units that generate a great leader, so it would appear that you can only rename land units without using the editor.

[Dida]

If they can add the code to 'name units that generated a great leader' how hard is it to make such a feature available to all units?????

Dida, I suppose that with common production rate it will be annoying to rename every unit produced to something worth it: sooner or later some player will ask to have a meaningful name assigned by default, then someone will complain about how historically (in)accurate the default names are, then someone will ask to have this function as an option because he/she's annoyed by the "name this unit" pop-up...

Ok, I'm sure you get it the potential mess

With my usual rat of a couple of Great Leader per game I'll have a nice opportunity to rename a unit as "Screaming Eagles", "Bande nere" or the like, without really slowing my game

[Jon Shafer]

I hope there's an options to make Veteran -> Elite units nameable also... I have bad luck and I don't get very many GLs.

[Carver]

After that tease I thought we would have a more comprehensive unit naming ability. Oh well, we can still scream until PTW comes out.

[kring]

The default name would still be Warrior, Hoplite, etc. I would suspect.

[Switch]

I think just naming GL producing units is good, although I'd prefer naming Elite units too. But I also think naming your armies would be neat; ex: an army of Cavalry you could name RCMP.

However, with the amount of navy ships produced, it would be nice to name more modern naval vessels as well, with such historic names as Enterprise and Yomato, etc.
