    Default Suggestion for unit/bldg titles

    May I suggest using the "\n\n" for building names and unit names where there is a paranthesis for translation? Currently the longer names are displaying badly and some even begin and end off the scroll altogether. The "\n\n" should centre the text for you in a title. This will display correctly for buildings, I have not tested units so do check first.

    Keep up the good work.

    That was tried before. It caused the "\n'd" text to overlap anything on the next line, making for example battle result screens kinda hurty for the eyes nevermind largely unintelligible...

    "Let us remember that there are multiple theories of Intelligent Design. I and many others around the world are of the strong belief that the universe was created by a Flying Spaghetti Monster. --- Proof of the existence of the FSM, if needed, can be found in the recent uptick of global warming, earthquakes, hurricanes, and other natural disasters. Apparently His Pastaness is to be worshipped in full pirate regalia. The decline in worldwide pirate population over the past 200 years directly corresponds with the increase in global temperature. Here is a graph to illustrate the point."

    For units? We use it in FATW for buildings and it works fine.

    In older versions the name\ntranslation format was in use, which resulted in the top picture u can see here: https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showthread.php?t=80087
    A small edit to DEI can fix that as you can see in the pic below that.


    Now this setup is used (see bottom two pics): https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showthread.php?t=80087

    A small edit to DEI can fix that as well as you can see in the pics above that.

    Ah, I know why mine display correctly...the \n was only applied to buildings that exist at game start and cannot be built/destroyed - so the construction scroll never appears.

    Glad you've got this in hand ;)
