Historical names of A-trains ang gunboats

Sun Mar 06, 2011 12:23 pm

Is it possible for engine to create array of historical names of A-trains (separately for light and heavy) and gunboats for each side and use generic names only when array will depleted? Or may be it is difficult to play with native names like "General Guskelshikov" or "Timofei Uliancev"? And how many symbols can consist string of unit's name?

It is not only possible, it is what the game already does: For example these are the historical names used by RUS for Siberian White light armoured trains:

[INDENT]CustomNames = 'Semenovets'|'Ataman'|'Zabaikalets'|'Otvakhny'|Orenburg Armored Train|1st Siberian Light Armored Train|2nd Siberian Light Armored Train|3rd Siberian Light Armored Train|4th Siberian Light Armored Train|5th Siberian Light Armored Train|6th Siberian Light Armored Train|7th Siberian Light Armored Train|8th Siberian Light Armored Train|9th Siberian Light Armored Train|10th Siberian Light Armored Train|11th Siberian Light Armored Train|12th Siberian Light Armored Train[/INDENT]

However you can see that the list shifts quickly from truely original to more generic names.

The list with these names can be found at the end of each model file. My guess is that the SEPRUS team would add more if somebody did the reasearch for them. ;)

The question is only how to use historical names -as translation for example "Siberian" or as strict transliteration from Russian - "Sibiryak"?

Another Siberian Whites LAT:

"Ishimets"

"Sibiryak"
"Gornyak"
"Condor"
"Volzhsky"
"Tagil"
"Zabiyaka"

"Сossack "
"Grozny "

In Osprey's New Vanguard 083 also found Horseman (may be Vsadnik) but not yet found it in Russian sources
