Suggestion for designers concerning restored auxiliary factions
Posted: Fri Dec 18, 2020 3:40 pm
Way back in english (and presumably other languages) _3.txt, someone wisely labeled the auxiliary RAF faction as "Great Britain," thereby extending its usefulness in the game:
I would suggest doing the same for the other three restored factions. Particularly IJN (Imperial Japanese Navy); instead, just label it as another Imperial Japan faction. I relabeled the two USA star factions just for consistency:
So here is how they look in my editor and in my game:
Nothing else is changed and no other alterations are necessary; the game still uses the "RAF" and "IJN" labels internally. This is just about naming these factions so that they show up better when used in the game. For a second Japanese land faction, as an example.
If the designers do adopt this suggestion, it might be good to add "RAF" to all British commanders, "IJN" to all Japanese commanders, and the two auxiliary USA factions to all American commanders.
By the way, I will repeat my proposal to also relabel the new He59_SAR (unit_2364 in english_17.txt) as "Rescue Plane" since it is generic and thus available to all factions. This suggestion may have gone unnoticed in another discussion; it should be a simple change and advisable because it is not now just a German plane.
