Modding OoB: Is it possible to change commander names?

Post by WingsOfBlue »

I've been playing around with learning to mod the game a little bit, and I've figured out how to do basic things like change commander images and flags. One thing I can't quite figure out though is if it's possible to rename your commanders in a campaign. Obviously I already know about renaming units, but I've tried changin names around in different files in the data folder and it doesn't seem to work.

Is this just a lost cause or am I looking in the wrong place?

It's in the \language files, same place as the unit names.

E.g. "commander_4 = John J. Smith"
