Unit Names in HOI2

[unmerged(37352)]

Hi for those that have the full game already does HOI2 have the same unit names as in HOI1? For example if you clicked on a unit icon it would display 101st "Screaming Eagles" Airborne or something like that. Whereas in HOI2 Demo it would just display the unit name such as 82nd Airborne. Have the unit names been removed in HOI2? Just curios that is all.

Thanks for the reply.

Well game isn't out yet, while betas have NDA so you'll have to wait a few days for that answer..except of course if some screenshot somewhere shows it. Can't remember...

You can still rename divisions as you wish(just look in the demo), like in previous Paradox games.

You can also look in the unit names file at [HoI 2 demo]/db/unitnames.csv to check American (allied) and German unit names.

Thanks for the info from everybody; I thought the game was out in Europe already but will hit the US On Jan 4th. Anyhow thanks all, I am hoping they removed the unit nick names. I will check the demo to verify.

Thanks all.

If they didnt, just delete them yourself using excel, if you so desire...

The "full" unit names (e.g 2. SS-Panzer Division "Das Reich", 101st Airborne "Screaming Eagles") are at least included in the press beta, but I guess we'll just have to wait a few days for confirmation.
