Naming the Militia?

from Sins Forums

When making a map in Galaxy Forge is there any way to give unique names to the milita fleets that pop up on neutral planets? I'm making a lore-based map, so I'd like to give the fleets flavourful names appropriate to the planet rather than 'Torsan Militants' or whatever else the game throws up.

As far as I can see the names used for the militia are pulled from the English.Str file:

StringInfo
ID "IDSScenarioPlayerNameMilitia0"
Value "Aluxian Refugees"

There are 22 names for the militia, I think it picks one randomly at the moment, either that or I've not looked at the files hard enough :)

Ah, I see. There are twenty militia forces defined in the GalaxyScenarioDef, each with a name referring to English.Str. The burning question then is 'Can we choose a specific militia for a planet rather than randomising it?'

Currently, no. The default neutral units are actually different from militia colonies (which you can only put in through the ingame map generator right now) - those come with some structure defenses and even more ships.

But there's no way to asign a specific name at the moment.
