Random Names for Ships

Post by monkspider »

One thing I would love to see you guys do is give ships a unique name based on a list of actual ships of that class and perhaps some fictional ones thrown in too. I know you can rename units, which I have been doing, but it is nice if ships of the DD class got random names like Kure, Hibiki, Kashi, and so forth instead of all of them just being named DD Kagero. Ships of the Yamato class could be called Yamato, Musashi, or Shinano. You can throw in fictional names for ships that don't have many to choose from. A possible good option for the Yamato class would be Kojiro, the name of someone who was Musashi's most famous rival. Little things like this go along way in building a connection to your units and add flavor to the game.
