This is how to get Divisions named after their General

Sun Jul 10, 2016 12:47 pm

After a wee bit of archeology I have uncovered how to get your divisons named for their generals .. I cannot take credit for the work of others here, just finding it with some searches

In the faction files CW2 > GameData > Factions

Open the relevant files (1-USA & 2-CSA) using Notepad and add the following line

LdrNameInHQ = 1

I added it just after HQStackName and it worked fine but I think it can be added pretty much anywhere after UID

You will then end up with Division Names like

J Reno's Divison
J Reynolds's Division <-- :bonk: .. doesn't handle the old s on the end of the name .. a reason to get him promoted quickly and the reason I suspect they did not have the option turned on

But for those who like a bit of flavour I am sure you can avoid the use of those generals ;)

Good find Teatime :thumbsup:

Actually, the handling of the ending 's' is simply a shortcoming of the engine. The same thing happens with the Confederate divisions.
