Ok so I knew you could name your ships but then I found this thread, which I very much liked because, now I can name a unit “the fighting b******s” what will you name yours, there has to be the obligatory “the (your town) guards" but what else.

Re: What will you name you unit
Cool feature. Some names I may use playing as Britain, depending on where the unit is raised in some cases:
"The Death Brigade"
"Cumberland's Butchers" (for fighting Scottish Jacobites)
"Edinburgh Loyal" (for fighting Scottish Jacobites)
"The Boyne Brigade" (for fighting Irish Jacobites)
"Rhyfelwyr's Life Guard"
"The Spam Squad"At the end of the day politics is just trash compared to the Gospel. -
Re: What will you name you unit
I'll go Colbert style and name everything The Fightin' Line Infantry! The Fightin' Dragoons!

Re: What will you name you unit
I'll name them rather mundane things at first. 1st Hannover foot, 2nd Vienna dragoons, ect. As units grow in experience and distinguish themselves in my army, elevating them above the rank and file they'll be given special names.
I'll rename them based on battlefield performance. Say I have an infantry unit that holds the center of my line in a particularly bloody battle, and doesn't route despite all the losses my forces take. I might rename them the "immovable brigade" or something.

Re: What will you name you unit
It depends on the faction I'm playing but one of my units will be the "Royal Black Watch" and "Stirlings Fusiliers".

Or take Eddie Izzard's idea and form a First Batallion Transvestite Brigade.

I'm taking Monk's approach as well, just name them from where they came from, for example 1st Paris dragoons or 3rd New Jersey regiment. And if a unit or general does particuarly well, I'll rename it to (generals name) hussars, etc.

Re: What will you name you unit
Wait, I don't know if this has been answered yet, but are monarchs and presidents controllable? And what do they do? How do they differe from generals?

Re: What will you name you unit
Generals are recruitable iirc. Jack also posted somewhere, i forget if it was TWC or here, that generals can be promoted from normal units. No idea if that is still in. Originally Posted by A Very Super Market
