Unit number poll

[duckofspades]

Auto Numbered units would be confusing, especially if the number comes first in the name.

The ability to intentionally rename a unit, however, would be mildly useful.

I don't understand how it would be confusing? I think your civ player is more the smart enuff to grasp the concept. If thier was any confusion I dont see it lasting for any memerable amount of time.

I think it'd be a nice feature, especially if you could use wild cards to control how the names are automatically generated, e.g.

Sea: HMS [Random Ship Name]
Land: [Number] [Unit Type] Division
Air: [Number] [Unit Type] Squadron

In civ 4, with the ability to name units, I ALWAYS did. I'd go number, city, unit, except for boats which got special names. but for example: 1st Berlin Panzers or 4th London Rifles

auto-numbering was good for Civ Rev, but its not for Civ V

I did this in Civ IV + BUG before I got CivRev. I want it, of course.

i didn't know civrev did that, it sounds cool. a nice bit of flavor. I tried to do it myself in civ5 to rename a few really high promoted frigates, but couldn't. i was sad
