Country flavour name in HOI4 question and suggestion

[honglong17]

Hello & thank you for your hardwork, everything about HOI4 so far so good to me. But there is one thing alway bother me, will hoi4 name will have any immersion value for major faction ? , normally in Hoi3 , when you create new army, corp, ...etc it just list it as 1st army...2st army, it do it job... but face it, compare to some already exist historical name of the army that available when we start the game.. it so out of place, and when i ask, some modder say it can;t be change .

So what i suggest is you either the new name when create new army/corp....etc will be automatic have a name suitable for it faction, like instead of xxx army, it will be xxx Rikugun for Japan ....etc . I know it will make you have more work, but pls at least either do that to major faction only, or make it mod-able so some modder can actually dig in the history / language and setting them for immersion value for you

imho i thinks its a good idea to have the names implemented in game, but a better way would be to have a mechanism to let the player name the "name part" of the army/corps name themselves! in this case all nations can have custom names, not just majors, and its a lot easier to name ur armies as u like instead of renaming every freaking army!!! and last but not least, think of the possibilities! i can have many "Sith Army"s playing as japan! and crush the world with them! lol

there will be no corps or armies and afaik you will be able to name divisions

now that even make thing easier for Dev isn't it, now they just have to set up script for Army name only instead of ton of corp/division ...etc
