Not sure if this is the right place to put this but what the hell. Would it be possible in a future update to add a field on units (and maybe faction eras) in the database to put a brief description? To be made accessible in the setup screen though something like an 'i' button or a tooltip? Not like the comments field. While that's great for internal comments I'm thinking something more accessible from the actual game itself.

Basically, I've made a couple hypothetical factions based on real nations but mostly full of unrealized cold war prototypes/a few things I just made up. It'd be great if there was somewhere I could write up a short description of a unit that could be accessed to give players an idea of what the unit's general strengths and weaknesses/roles are when building a force. In this genre, while most people have a general sense what a T-55 fielded by the Soviet Union can do, it wouldn't be exactly obvious what an entirely new tank fielded by the nation of, I don't know, Freedomia, can do. The same applies for different new nations through the eras. It'd be nice if modders had the option to give players that context.

Also not to combine two completely different topics, but small unrelated question: How does the AI decide what type of ammo to use if it has multiple options? Like if it's facing a tank and can shoot both APFDS and HEAT, which gets priority?

This game would definitely profit from further interfaces to add proper descriptions or campaign/mission briefings
