This seems like an obvious one that must have been posted before, but it doesn't come up on my searches, so...
When we name units, can we also name the plural so we don't get weird plurals like 'watchmans' or 'militias'?
Yea this would be pretty nice. Don't see why it would require a major re-code. Not that I know how Stardock's code is structured but now the game when using the plural of X would read from the player's definition of the plural of X instead of sticking an 's' on it.
So here's another possible way of doing this without major rework of the underlying database. Using the militia example: currently when you produce a group of militia, you get 'party of militias'. Here's another way of doing it without needing a plural field in the database (or whatever you're using) - just switch the text around: 'Militia Party'. Voila!
It works for nearly all iterations: 'Watchman Army', 'Militia Group' etc.
