can units/armies be names

**Megas Methuselah** · 01-03-2009, 07:40

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...

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.

That is going to be really cool ^_^ as for units I can always name them Legion 1 2 3 4......but I can not wait to name the ships

(Yes this is my first post since uhhhhhh I think 06, I never needed to log in just loved reading it all ^_^

Naming units?! Proof?! Thanks Haxorsist, thanks Methuselah!

This thread is now an official Sir Beane approved (TM) party zone. Break out the rum ration and ships biscuits!

Also, sorry to one up you Methuselah, but I got a better quality screen.

Yay! I simply can't wait to get beaten by a 13-year-old with a strategic skill far exceeding his level of eloquence using a unit of musketeers called "OMGt3h K1LLZ0RZ!!!111"

Sarcasm aside, I love this.

Since we can change City names it would make sense to be able to name our units. This will be really nice if it is doable.

i knew that a while back, as soon as i saw the unit box i stopped the video and looked at the features on it

a few things worry me though

180 upkeep! for an indian unit! way to much lol
550 intial cost, again expensive for a medicre archer unit
0 range??? that doesnt make sense....
135 men, larger unit sizes perhaps

My thoughts exactly. Although it would be fun to conquer the world with a unit of riflemen called "LOLWTFBBQ!!11!!one!1"

wow way to ruin the thought now I have to worry about that :P. As for naming cities that is cool but again for people going to change the name of London -_-, or Berlin.

0 range? I see the experience bar on the side maybe it is experience in range till next level?
