Attack star?

Lose 30 kilos (of popups)

With the new patch, when an elite unit attacks and gets a leader upgrade, it gives an option to change the unit's name. Afterward, a * appears next to the unit's attack. Does it mean something? In SMAC there were * and () that had effects, but I can't figgure out what it does in Civ3... as far as I can tell it has no effect.

The star just lets you know the unit created a GL. Since units can only breed 1 GL its good to know.

xKx,

A little clarification (although you should know that anything that comes from Carver is gospel).

When you generate a GL, the unit that did so no longer has the capability of doing so, so Firaxis gave us an indicator.

You can, however, upgrade the unit, and thus regain the ability to generate a GL. The unit then keeps the name you gave it, but the star goes away.

So upgrade does keep the name? I wasn't sure about this - as an upgraded unit is essentially 'new'. I haven't played a full game post patch - because of scn creation.

I can confirm that the unit does keep its name after an upgrade. Arrian (who else would it be except maybe Theseus?) can confirm that you get a chance to rename the named unit when it generates a new GL after an upgrade.
