    I just had a simple idea which is not really useful but maybe it is interesting to the players in a match.

    The idea is to give each unit a production number during a match which will appear after the untits name after its selection. For example you select a spammbot and you read its describtion Spammbot 10.104 then you know that you have already created at least 10.104 Spammbots during the match.

    I think it would be a nice feature to understand how big the losses have already grown.

    What do you think about?
    I expecting your answer soon.

    With friendly regards GeneralfeldmarschallvHindenburg.

    reminds me of a joke ui mod we had once in FA that gave all unit random names. It could have used numbers as well. People hated it after a while, though. Way too many names displayed on the screen. I still have a mod that runs a console command every game to disable the display of unitnames.

    I did not mention that it will appaer when you select a stack of units in this case it would be really anoying.

    I talked about selecting single units and do not expecting production numbers longer than six numbers. Maybe similar to the kill counter of FA units.

    FA showed the names always even on enemy units ^^

    Lots of stats are always fun, production counts are just a part of that. Uber has already stated that they will have stats like this available.
