Renaming?

Cap'n Orso, I love the NATO symbol for the White Hand Orcs. heh!

I'm looking forward to that, too! I have a candidate from the distant past, to get things started.
First, a bit of background.

When my husband Dixicrat was new to AACW, he was understandably a bit confused by the use of Assault Balloons, since almost nobody actually uses them in the Campaigns, and they're unavailable in most of the scenarios.



His efforts to understand them were greatly aided by Jabberwock, one of our forums' immortals. Jabberwock also provided a screenshot of Buchanan with the "Murderous Balloonist" ability, showing that the former admiral had to actually be in the balloon, to get the ability.

I doubt that you'll find anything in the Wiki about Assault Balloons, but here's a link to the thread if you'd like to explore this little known and less understood aspect of the game. Assault Balloons

Definitely imaginative, wouldn't you agree?

That is classic. We need to start a yearly best post awards

I get the "balloon deflates" message whenever I use them to bombard..

Sounds like somebody needs Aviagra

I have the opposite problem: every time I click on a tap, a label pops up asking if I would like to rename the selected force. I don't want it unless I ask for it. Is there any way I can shut that off?

Sounds like your alt button is stuck. Try hitting the button on your keyboard. Sometimes my alt button defaults to "on" with some games if I alt+tab out and come back in. I just hit it once and it reverts to off.

It would be great to be able to change the names of brigades and elements as well. Other than using that function for flavor, it is rather annoying to have two units of the same name or number.

[Captain_Orso]

Being able to change the name on basically any unit or element would brake many scripts which depend on locating said units. But it would be nice if all units did have a unique name. But as far as I know, it's only ships and squadrons that are produced in different regions that do not enjoy being unique by name.

Oh well, something to hope for in future AGEOD titles. I figured it was too complicated and difficult to do or it would have been done already.
