Default Re: Rise of the Remorhaz Society

An interesting naming convention for troops, which I might use in the history game is to divide up troops into Companies or Regiments or something like that.

So you design a troop and call it 1st Brigade. and you make 10 of them. Design another as the 2nd bridage and make 10 of them. So forth and so on until you have a few hundred. Now when you go into battle, and if you take losses, you'll know which brigade took losses and which needs replacements.

I suppose you could, if you were ambitious, go down to smaller Groups of 5 or 3 troops. Then you could organize them by troop transport. Call the transport 4th Division, and then if you add several to a fleet you could then call the fleet 1st Corp or something like that.

Maybe you are already doing that...dunno. Spur of the moment idea.
