Ok.I was just wondering because I played a game as the US and it wasn't naming the units. I'll check and see if I did anything wrong
 
I tried it again playing with the US on the Earth 1936 map and it didn't seem to work. I have version 38 if that makes a difference
 
Is there anything like this for BNW? i remember there was a mod that let you set automatic naming for units, so when you build a pikeman he would get "1st Pikeman" and when you build another one he would get name "2nd Pikeman" for example, automaticly :)
