1st post. (Yay!)

Well, here's my idea. The concept is not Hero Units, per se, only units that will receive a name after having a Great General attached to them.
i.e. A great general attached to a German battleship could be called the "Bismarck", or the "Yamato" for a Japanese ship. Or a stack of American tanks and infantry could be the "Third Army"
And of course Generals should be named according to their civ.
Of course these would have to be according to time period and composition, which could pose some minor problems, I wouldn't know, I don't do much code.

Any one of your units can be renamed with or without a GG being attached. When you have the unit selected click on the unit type (above the unit strength). Then enter the new name in the Rename Unit popup and click OK. Check out the Succession Game threads-alot of the players there regularly rename the units.
