Desire for Advanced Unit Naming

[Wrecker014]

Since this is what I'm currently working on with regards to C2C for my own personal enjoyment I decided if I should ask if anyone else likes the capability.

Is anyone interested in having the ability to have units be automatically numbered and named based on the criteria you submit for them, for individual units and eras? The BUG Unit Naming module has an Advanced Unit Naming part that was left empty due to the small effect it gives for such large effort I assume, but I'm currently filling it out with units and my own personal naming conventions for them anyway.

I think it was left empty because most people would prefer different naming conventions, so no one solution will fit all, so to speak.
Who can guess what the majority would prefer?

I would like to see some unit name examples from your configuration. Perhaps I would agree that it is a good default for the mod....

I'm not suggesting mine would be the end all be all. I'm suggesting just filling out the file with the era-unit pairs so that people could alter the specific names of they so wish. Otherwise they could be just left at DEFAULT.

EDIT: Well it'll be filled out for me personally anyway, I'm just wondering if you guys would want it as well, set at default for all the era-unit pairs instead.

I think a good default system would be great to include, if nothing else to let people know how to use the bug settings to adjust to their liking from the default they start with. At the moment I imagine very few understand what they can do there - I know I've never tooled around with it.

I searched around to figure out the instructions and I think I have a pretty good handle on it. Could always throw in the information as a comment at the top of the BUG Unit Naming.ini files, or actually create the help file BUG searches for if you click that button on the Unit Naming tab in-game.

EDIT: Moreover it's not wrong to say there's not a lot you can do at the moment. Currently you can only name the general term for unit classes, and only based on the PRIMARY class of that unit, which isn't always (but usually is) the first category listed on the unit's Civilopedia page. What I'm doing is making it so I can name individual units with their own general expressions, and group units into the same custom group if I do desire (for the purpose of naming).
