A low priority request. (v1.05) Renaming your Capital city does not update Military unit names which has the same old city name. Would be nice if they did or/and add an ability to set a keyword/name as a substitute if you want something different for Unit names.

+1 to this (I also reported on this issue not too long ago).

Do you mean the cultural adjective visible when checking on troops contained within military units and on the city cultural info panel? That doesn't have anything to do with capital city name per se, the only thing that determines it is the default realm name the game generates when creating a planet (that name may be based on your capital city, but it might not be). It remains based on the default realm name even if you rename your realm in the start. And yeah, ability to change it would be nice, I had also requested this in the past.

Or do you mean the militia unit names that are based on the actual city name? You can just rename those from the unit admin screen (same screen but different tab to where you would reassign unit's HQ).

How about we eliminate zone names from the default militia unit names and solve the problem without complex hacks and work arounds?

Zones are very mutable objects in the game. Using them for any designations is a problem.

It would be better if all canonical names were totally customizable. At the moment it's a terrible mishmash. In many places, changing a name doesn't actually change the name everywhere in the game--from that point forward.

While I would not be against that, it seems Vic has quite a bit intended for Zones and Cultures. There are a lot of special rules regarding Zones and Militia.
