The Newbie Nightmare
It's always annoyed me that military units are referred to in the singular, especially later in the game when one imagines that each unit is comprised of hundreds if not thousands of men.
For example:
"Your Axeman has defeated a Barbarian Archer"
to me would sound better as:
"Your Axemen have defeated the Barbarian Archers"
This becomes more crucial when your dealing with custom unit names, for example:
"Your 1st Westpoint Cadets has defeated a 14th Republican Guard"
That just sounds weird, it'd be much better as:
"Your 1st Westpoint Cadets have defeated the 14th Republican Guard"
Now, it is perfectly possible to change what the combat messages say and also editing the unit descriptions to be pluralised, but there are some that you want to stay singular, e.g.
"Your ICBM have been destroyed" - you'd want some way to distinguish this so that it always said "Your ICBM has been destroyed"
Does anyone know how this could be achieved? Please ask if you're not sure what I'm getting at.
