Renaming units?

[Pounder]

I love the renaming feature. Usually I pick themes like leaders of WW2 or Civil War generals and commanders and stuff like that.



For sure: Naming the nukes is fun for the whole family!

What patch level are you playing at?

Patch 1.52.


I have not installed the newest and am not planning to until I see how people react to it after a few weeks of gameplay. I'm sort of a stubborn old fool that way.

I just right click on the unit info screen where it has the unit type/name. It opens a window and I type in the name I wish to give it. I am a twisted type of bloke so have no trepidation admitting it is one of my favorite things to do.

Note that you have to click on the actual name, not just in the name bar, to bring up the "rename" box.

I don't name my units much, but I name ships and units in (hopefully) successful attack parties.

When you name your units it gives the game a more personal touch...and it adds a certain amount of more realism...plus you don't want to see them get killed!!!!!!!! Name a unit the 82nd Airborne or the 101st Airborne...pretty cool!!!!

In my last game I renamed my cavelry that I was saving to try the gunship taking city exploit. After upgrading them I renamed them Elite Airial 1 & 2.
I was able to test the bug (by taking a coulpe of cities with them) but alas they seemed cursed after that and got killed.

In the new patch they fixed that bug(exploit?).
so much for gunships

Good news, Pounder and Badabing. The 1.61 patch fixed renaming units for me. I can actually name them now.
