Naming Stacks and Combined Units

 In general, these parameters are defined for each Faction in the \GameData\Factions directory.


== STACKS ==
===Old Naming conventions===

*'''LandHQsName''' Name that a stack will use if an HQ stack (= corps in AACW, i.e the subordinate of the highest hierarchy stack). If there is a ¤ in the name, then the leader name will be inserted. If there is no ¤, then a numeric will be put before the name. e.g Jackson's Corps or XV. Corps
*'''LeaderForce''' A force with a leader, any size. (DEPRECATED under new naming convention)
*'''ForceName''' A leaderless large stack but out of the chain of command (example WIA, there is no CoC)
*'''DetachName''' Same, leaderless but a small stack.
*'''FleetName''' A fleet of any size with or without a leader.
*'''GroupNumbering''' ''= 0'' will use I. II. III.... for new group (= stack) names,'' = 1'' will use 1. 2. 3.... 
*'''UnitNumbering''' ''= 1'' will use 1. 2. 3.... for new unit names when the DB has exhausted all custom names, ''= 0'' will use I. II. III.... 


=== New Naming conventions===
<big>'''As of September 14, 2010'''</big> 

*'''LandHQsName''' AS ABOVE: Name that a stack will use if an HQ stack (= corps in AACW, i.e the subordinate of the highest hierarchy stack). If there is a ¤ in the name, then the leader name will be inserted. If there is no ¤, then a numeric will be put before the name. e.g Jackson's Corps or XV. Corps
*'''ForceName''' AS ABOVE A leaderless large stack but out of the chain of command (example WIA, there is no CoC)
*'''DetachName''' AS ABOVE Same, leaderless but a small stack.
*'''FleetName''' AS ABOVE A fleet of any size with a leader.
*'''LeaderFleetName''' NEW A fleet of any size without a leader.
*'''Leader3Force''' NEW A large force, out of CoC with a 3* leader.
*'''Leader2Force''' NEW Same, 2* leader
*'''Leader1Force''' NEW Same, 1* leader
*'''Leader3ColoForce''' NEW A large force, out of CoC with a 3* leader, but if the region is colonial.
*'''Leader2ColoForce''' NEW Same, 2* leader
*'''Leader1ColoForce''' NEW Same, 1* leader
*'''ColoName''' NEW Small, leaderless Stack in colonial region.

*'''GroupNumbering''' ''= 0'' will use I. II. III.... for new group (= stack) names,'' = 1'' will use 1. 2. 3.... 
*'''UnitNumbering''' ''= 1'' will use 1. 2. 3.... for new unit names when the DB has exhausted all custom names, ''= 0'' will use I. II. III.... 

 Note:  The parameter LeaderForce must be removed from the .fac files if you wish to use the
 newer fields, e.g "Leader3Force", "Leader2Force", "Leader1Force"...


Note: Armies, as 'army HQ part of the CoC, as in AACW and NCP' have their names drawn from the field GHQInfos

=== Example from VGN local strings ===

:fac_ForceName_GER = German Armee 
:fac_DetachName_GER = German Force 
:fac_LeaderFleetName_GER = ¤' Flotte 
:fac_FleetName_GER = Flotte 
:fac_Leader3Force_GER = ¤' Armee 
:fac_Leader2Force_GER = ¤' Korps 
:fac_Leader1Force_GER = ¤' Force 
:fac_Leader3ColoForce_GER  = ¤' Armee 
:fac_Leader2ColoForce_GER = ¤' Force 
:fac_Leader1ColoForce_GER = ¤' Expedition 
:fac_ColoName_GER  = Column

== Units in privileged combine mode (an AACW division e.g) ==


*if '''LdrNameInHQ''' = 1, then it will uses '''strCombinedUnitWithLeader''' (read from the local strings) and insert the leader name in it. Example, Pickett's Division.

*Otherwise, 2 cases:
**if the leader has a flavorname (defined in Model), use it (option very rarely used) 
**otherwise, use a free '''LargeCombiName''' (see faction file). See USA in AACW for example (as a side note, as the CSA is using LdrNameInHQ = 1, the LargeCombiName list is not used)
