Name Units Without Promotions

Allows you to name all of your units without the normal 2 promotion restriction! Also includes most citizen units such as settlers, builders, Great People, etc. In case you didn't already know, in vanilla Civilization VI you could only name a unit once it got 2 promotions.

This mod was extremely simple to make, and I'm not being modest: this mod is literally only 1 line of code. It took me longer to upload the mod to Steam than to write the code for the entire mod.

NOTE: This mod does not work with apostles for some reason and it is probably not fixable.

EDIT 7/19/2021: Just realized there's another mod on the Steam workshop that does exactly the same thing as this mod, called Unit Rename. For the record, I didn't copy his code (because I didn't know the mod existed), and although I kind of feel bad my mod is exactly the same as his. However I'm not going to delete this mod because a lot of people are already subscribed to it.

Features
Allows all units to be named right after you train them, so that they don't need to get the usual 2 promotions to be named
Includes citizen units and some others. Working units:
Settlers
Builders
Great People
Missionaries
Does NOT work with these units (I honestly don't know why and unfortunately it's probably not possible to fix, I know it would be extremely useful to name your apostles based on their promotions):
Apostles
Support class units

Compatibility
Should be compatible with all DLCs and mods that don't update the number of promotions it requires to name a unit.

I hope to be able to rename without being limited by the number of times

I love naming units after family members and friends.

If it isn't possible to rename them without limitation, would it atleast be possible to rename them with each level up? That would atleast help with updating their names to reflect their perks.

As far as the comments for this/the Unit Rename mod goes it seems like there are limitations like not being able to rename support units, apostles or any religious unit, and great persons seem to get the renaming button but the names don't stick.

For me personally i don't really care about renaming great persons because they don't seem to have a perk tree, and usually are used up quickly, but what i was wondering about is if it's possible to make units infinitely renamable.

If you had 9 melee units of which the 1st 4th and 7th are getting the left perks, 2nd 5th, 8th get the right perks, and 3rd 6th, and 9th are just unleveled to not waste experience points when forming armies and then eventually one of the first units (lets say number 4) dies then i'd like to be able to move up number 7 and make it the new 4 so that things are easier to keep track of.
