Current random names do not help the complexity of the interface at all. I have different types of squads, and its hard to keep track which is which.

+1. For some odd reason I thought this was added to the new version. Wishful thinking on my part.

[nenjin]

The release notes say 'ability to assign squads nicknames' IIRC.

[Pilsu]

I'd still like the ability to reroll the name. I'd rather not have to come up with my own if I don't like the first result I get.

But .31.x lacks such ability. Or it is hidden so deep that i could not find it.

You can do that, just create/delete squad till you are happy with name.

 You are being a bit perverse there. I suspect that Pilsu, like myself, generates a large list of empty squads and then deletes the ones with unsuitable names.

 I also thought that there was a feature going to be in the new release for assigning names to squads.

Look in the "combat" section

This would make life waaaaay easier and fun.
and the notes say you can, so lets hope it will be put in

+1 . Seems odd i can give dwarfs nicknames and profession names but i can't rename a squad.
I find it hard to keep track, I have to keep going into the Millitary screen and going into their equipment list to find out which squad is my Archer-squad etc.

[shibdib]

revivalllllllllllllll, i want this

[Delduvat]

31.10, but still no squad renaming…

Oh great Toad in the sky, please add this feature (already, dammit)!
Amen.

[Delduvat]

Revivication post for a 31.13 release.

Used to create-dissolve a squad for about ten minutes yesterday, but at least I now have a 'Wings of Medicine' for my paramedics.

[ungulateman]

It takes me forever to come up with an even decent name for my green-clad squad of elf-murderers. IMPLEMENT THIS ALREADY PLZ

[Mckee]

I'd like this, have a 'random' feature, so you can reroll as well as being able to enter a completly custom name, or construct a custom name out of several parts (like when naming a fort). Its not a big addition, but then everyone is happy. You can be technical and have Hammer squad A, B and C, or have The flaming beards of vengeance, or something totally random.

Especially since you could then 'upgrade' a worthy squad after a heroic or cool event.
