    Default Historical Unit Names

    Is anyone making a mod that changes the unit's names from english to the respective faction's language?
    An example would be instead of "Line Infantry" for Prussia it would be "Pruessen Infanterie" (or whatever Line Infantry is in German/Prussian!)<spelling!>
    The nice touch would be what each faction referred to its line infantries or others. USA's line would be simply called 'Continentals' or 'Continental Line'. British would be simply "British Redcoats" or something? What do you all think?
    I apologize if this is already in the works, I couldnt find anything like this for the great mods already out now. I really, really enjoy the fact each faction has their native tongue, now I'd just like to see historically accurate faction specific unit names/nomenclature.

    Just rename them yourself in game if you want. I think it's a great feature.

    Yeah I do
    It's great but I mean of course the unit name from "Line Infantry" to its correct faction/language specific name, thats all. Like in EB it's " Cohors Reformata (Post Marian Heavy Infantry Legionary) "
    not simply "Reformed Cohort".

    Would be nice, I agree. Renaming units in game gets real tedious, real fast. Maybe it will happen as part of a realism mod?

    Yeah, APE's Zieten Hussars (Husaren-Regiment von Zieten) and Potsdam Giants (Potsdamer Riesengarde) are named in their native language. All units created for this mod will be named in this same manner.

    I am reworking most units and I will rename as many as I can stand, lol!
