Some alternative and additional Theme name suggestions, just in case any appeal:

Wood Elves: Hunt
Lizardmen: Hunt or Throng
Ogre: Throng
Bretonnia: Compangnie (or Company. Squadron maybe but a bit too Cavalry related)
Cathay & Kislev: Guard
Dwarves,Chaos Dwarves, & Tomb Kings: Cohort
Dark & High High Elves: Troop
Vampires: Summoning, Gathering (perhaps Calling)
Pirate Coast: Crew
Chaos: Warband
Khorne, Nurgle, Slaanesh, Tzeentch: Summoning*

*Legion is okay for Chaos, but is a bit more Army sized rather than unit.

I like these names, now I see the situation that each user likes some names for their own games and I do not think it is fair that my defined names are final, but I leave it by default, I will see if I can integrate MCT as an additional tool that allows users to customize the names of each faction before starting the game.

In General, I´d propose the use of roman numerals ( I. instead of 1st)

I´d propose some more differentiations for the Empire;

For all artillery : battery

For all non-knights : squadron

For all knights : circle

For all irregular units ( archers, free company, flagellants) : band

For all regular infantry units : Kompanie

Roman numerals will be added as an option in the MCT configuration in the next update.

I like the idea of differentiations for the Empire, especially "Kompanie" so fits the theme of the empire, I see a problem how to adapt this word in different languages, is it ok if Kompanie is the exact word for all languages?

It is possible to implement it that way, but there is no guarantee, eventually we will see what happens.

Wouldn't regiments be more thematically appropriate for Imperial units than battalions? At least lore wise. It applies to both English and German as the word is shared between them and company/kompanie seems to be used either as an honorific in the case of the Altdorf Company of Honour and Iron Companies or for mercenary companies (which may be something to consider for free companies if you can figure how how to add names on a unit by unit basis)

I agree with this, but it's too biased for some users to define their own names for their units, and I have a plan to make a customizable list of names using MCT.
