can units/armies be names

[scsscsfanfan]

Dose ETW has the feature to name a unit or an army of your own choice? like "1st Imperial Guards".
That would be cool.

[pevergreen]

It really would, but I doubt it will be possible.

It would be quite nice. Maybe if a unit performed extremely well you could give it a unique name, since generally it was only those types of unit that got a special name. Most people generally just gave them numbers or, as Russia is the only specific example I know of that did this, named them after the towns that they were garrisoned in or drawn from (Moscow Grenadier regiment from Moscow, etc.)

Or maybe they could just be auto-assigned. That wouldn't be as neat, but it would still be cool :P

In video preview 4/5 Road to Independence you can see that there's a box that says my unit name when viewing a unit. I assume this means we will be able to name our units. I'm sorry I don't have a screenshot of it, but it's there I swear.

Can I trust the words of a stranger who's been a junior member for the past two years?

Imma go check out that vid.



EDIT: [20 mins later] Got a screenie! Sorry for the poor quality, but I took it off YouTube...



If you squint and bring your eyes a millimeter away from the monitor, you can clearly see the textbox beneat the unit's typename which reads, "my unit name" or something like that. I think Haxorsist is correct!



THANK YOU, CA!! I LOVE YOU, JACK LUSTED!!!

Another edit: Is it just me, or is the player playing as the Powhatans? I don't think so, otherwise it wouldn't say "At War," but I dunno...

Hell Yea.

Nah, that's probably from the 1st chapter when you defend Jamestown, so they would be the colonists. Also would explain why thats the limit they can see north wise.
