I find that I am shortening the unit names to avoid too much text on the map, I am going through all the unit names reducing them to minimal text. That doesn't mean that you shouldn't use as much text as is available, but renaming units helps me get a good map effect.

Yes, thats the way (it is the historical way too).
I´m becoming a big fan of the employ of the unit name to keep the information vs the png graphics.
And not only text, but symbols and icons can be part of the name when appropiate fonts are used.
The game system has become even more flexible than the graphic system; with features like splitting and merging units you can detach a company from a division or split a corps in three units and for the game png´s they all are the same as the original unit.
With the unit names, you can give to every unit his appropiate appearance in any moment with almost unlimited options.

It would be great if the "land/air/naval_units.csv" could optionaly be defined for countries to give at least different colors for the texts,hide names,etc.

This is big request, but I'm not saying its impossible to see it in one of the future patches.
