A simple request: How would I change the names of units?

[Socratatus]

I actually don`t have Civ 5 yet (been waiting for it to get to a good cheap price), but to help my decision is it possible to just change the name of a unit?

For instance, i`d like to change the name `Giant death robot` to a less childish name, so it sounds like an adult built it.

Can it be done and how?

Thanks in advance.

<GameData>
	<Language_en_US>
		<Replace Tag="TXT_KEY_UNIT_MECH">
			<Text>INSERT NAME HERE</Text>
		</Replace>
	</Language_en_US>
</GameData>

Saving that code as an xml file (NewText.xml or GameText.xml to help with organization) in modbuddy and ticking it to update the database on activation should work.

Thankyou. You`ve just got me to decide to try \buy the game. Cheers again.

p.s. Sorry for sticking in the wrong forum, btw.
