Ah good to know! Thank you!

CA mod loader will report such error on scripts in custom subfolders (like /pj_regional_unit_rename/ is the subfolder here). I load those scripts manually ingame using require(). These aren't real errors and can't cause any issues in your game.

I'm getting an error in my crash logs for this mod.

Would be cool if you used the Mod Configuration Tool to choose whether you want to add the settlement and/or province to the units name. Also, what about adding a counter to remember how many units of each type you have recruited. This other modder added thematic names for each faction.

Auto Rename Units (BETA)

IT STILL WORKS THE SAME AS IT HAS ALWAYS WORKED

This mod is pretty fun for those of us who get attached to each unit in our armies. I would however like to suggest adding either an exception for chaos warband recruitment or some kind of script to rename warband units periodically. As of right now I'm playing an Everchosen campaign and I have a unit of chosen still named 6th Marauders or some such.

Is it possible to make it work for renamed settlements aswell?

@flashcrash i think there is a mod for that now idk if its compatible with this mod but i did see a mod like that once.

Could this work for characters?

I had the same question as Barracuda. Not to interested in naming the garrison. Or name it 1st Altdorf Garrison or something so that the army regiments start with 1, 2, 3 etc. Not sure if it's possible but would be even more awesome than the mod already is.

Hello, thanks for the mod. I have a question - is there any possibility to add to heroes name their basic trait? It would be very useful to have it when you have long campaign, what is where, that you do not need to manually rename heroes

Is it possible to make it so that the garrisons at the beginning of the campaign do not get names? If not this is still one of the great immersion mods on the workshop either way!

Hi, I seem to have found a problem with the order of numbers from the beginning:

With MCT enabled and choosing historical before starting the game, then everything seems to be ok including the numbers in your army, then you have to recruit 2 more units (any type of unit).

One turn later, so 5th and 6th appear, it seems that 3rd and 4th were lost. It is possible that other factions caused this from the beginning.

This has to do with the function
function rename_all_forces_at_new_game()
With the historical method, it is possible that other factions have taken the number 3rd and 4th.

IMHO adding that option that takes advantage of TTCAPS (a fairly popular mod) would help both standardize and automate the process of determining which units "should/could" be named or not.
(three checkboxes that units could be renamed, either COMMON, SPECIAL or RARE, check all three and then all units will be renamed, or whatever combination users prefer)

sorry the spam, i cant post more than 1000 characters and english is not my main language.

cheers for all your incredible work

Also, I don't know if this might be beyond the scope of possible scripts, but:

What if instead of having the option to mark units to not rename them based on cost (something that might be a bit arbitrary, as an empire greatsword might cost 200 gold more than a skaven tier equivalent, just to bring an example ), instead, they are labeled according to "rarity", either BASIC (aka common units) SPECIAL or RARE, like in this mod, CAPS table tops:

https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2812165190&tscn=1691389118

It would be great to have the option to rename BASIC units (common/green jewel tag) as they are usually generic, but special units (silver dots) tend to be special enough to have a name of their own/ distinguished associate with them. , RARE units (purple jewel) tend to be quite rare (steam tanks there are like a dozen or more in total according to lore) or straight up ROR units with a unique history and related background.

wow this look absolutely wonderful, just a question, is there a way to "discriminate" based on races? like this only applies to empire and kislev, yet all chaos factions doesnt have it activated (i dont think they are "organized enough" to have numbered/naming conventions based on recruitment locations)

@dafrandle
thanks, fixed

@Maska_zgz
reg_localised.." "..unit_localised, here .. is + for joining strings

looks like it handles numbers like 12 wrong:

Hello! I love your mod. A small change, but a major change for an old warhammer and role playing gamer. I've been looking at the script, and I love how it's done. Use the names of units and regions of each language is very intelligent.

However, I have a small request for help. I have tried modifying the script to alter the order of the words, as it is done in my language, but with no results so far.

In English, it is perfect for a unit to be called: "Altdorf´s Crossbowmen", but in Spanish, the order is reversed and should be: "Ballesteros de Altdorf". So my request is...

What should I change in your script to create a small patch of your mod and publish it for Spanish users?

Thank you very much for all your work.

Great work! Always liked the idea of regiments working together from different regions

It will work with mod units.

Har Ganeth Executioners don't work because they have Har Ganeth in their name and the script has some checks for region names and RoRs it tries to do, the logic of the check can probably be improved to work out better in this case, but that's the reason it happens for them here.

Just noting that this mod still appears to work after the Chaos Dwarfs patch.

P.S. Will this mod work with units added from outside? - e.g. the Thunderforge mod for Dwarves.

Possible bug report: When you start as Crone, Har Ganeth Executioners aren't numbered. The other units are all numbered and regionalized properly. I tested about half a dozen other starts, and the problem only existed with Crone.

Awesome; thanks!

you can customize it, in the description above

Hey, didn't this mod used to precisely number units, too? So instead of "Altdorf Swordsmen," you had "Altdorf Swordsmen I." Or is it my dementia? ;)

This mod is cool. I can't believe these huge ass long names fit without screwing the UI or something, it's glorious. "1st World's Edge Archway Miners (Blasting Charges)"

i love this mod so much its not even funny

Yeah I meant province, thank you!!

Updated:
- added 2 new naming methods:
1st Handgunners
1st Altdorf Handgunners

- added option to use province name instead of region name in naming methods:
Reikland Swordsmen instead of Altdorf Swordsmen

Would it be possible to change this to region names?

would be awesome if it change also the colors of the unit making them more Lorefriendly

Lo que hace el mod es cambiar el nombre de las unidades con la region de donde los reclutas, es decir, si reclutas unos espaderos (swordsmen) en Altdorf la unidad se llamará Altdorf Swordsmen (espaderos de Altdorf), pero creo que solo tiene sentido en inglés, no cubre otros idiomas (o si, prueba). En cualquier caso es un cambio puramente estético, pero es chulo, cuando estes en el fin del mundo peleando contra el caos y veas que son los espaderos que reclutaste al principio de la campaña.

no entendi bien su funcion, osea que yo purdo agregar unidades de otras faccioners me puedes explicar gracias

Hi dont know if Is possibile but you can link in some way the unit to unit faction color table so unit use the colors associate to differents subfactions. In this way web can have a army with different provincial colors. Usefull for some factions as bretonnia or empire with many differences between troops recruited in different dukedoms/province and a great improve for modders that dont Need duplicate units for each dukedoms with the problema of compatibility that this create. Ty

It will be great!

Hi could you do a similar mod but change the renaming to numbering? For example, 1st Swordsmen, 2nd Handgunners, 13th Reiksguards etc like how regiments are named and numbered in military history? I've been doing that manually myself.

No joy for any of Vlads legions :( I'd absolutely love to see some regional dire wolves et al, but it doesn't seem to work for any of the VC units.

will this work for modded units?

Breaks a bit with WoC warband upgrades. Marauder units upgraded to Chaos warriors are still called Marauders, etc.

Does it work for other languages as well? :P

Does this work/ will there be an update for IE?

is generic lords / heroes also included?

possible to make it compatible with Upgrade Units mod?

this is great! I can't help but think that the next step is to attach custom variants to regions using this mechanic, so an army made of soldiers from different regions can all look like they came from different regions

Only for the most civilized : humans/elves/dwarfs factions or work for races like Beastmen, greenskins, demons etc...?

I've wanted this feature since I started playing Warhammer 2, thank you so much.:)
How does this work with mercinaries (Ogres), summoned units (Daemons) and allied regiments(outposts)?:)

Hehe.... so we can get 'Middenheim Daemonettes'?
