      Since the group is on the 'User Friendly' GUI kick. The readability of some elements could also use a face lift.

      <unit name="germanInfantry" displayName="Infantry"/>
      
      <resource name="techTokens" displayName="Tech Tokens"/>
      
      <techname name="mechanizedInfantry" displayName="Land Transportation"/>
      

      IMOA in some map like TWW which have a lot of similar unit between the different Nations the use of 'germanInfantry', 'germanArtillery' etc... in the purchase screen looks redundant.

      Cheers...

        @wc_sumpton Yeah, it a good idea. Challenge being that some of these appear in A LOT of places so might be hard to track down where the code would need updated to show display name.

              @wc_sumpton I believe the most widespread usage would be to rename "PUs" according to the settings or preferences.
              You can already indirectly do it for tech, by making a custom tech that simply recalls a hardcoded tech, instead of directly using it (you can look at "WW2v3 Tech Advance"), but this practice implies incurring into other limits.

                @cernel I understand how the renaming of the Techs work, and it is a good thing. It would be nice if this type of renaming worked for other elements like:

                <option name="Infantry" unit="germanInfantry"/>
                <option name="Infantry" unit="russianInfantry"/>
                

                In this manner the purchase window, tool tips and other displays to the player would IMOA be a little cleaner. But this is something just for looks.

                Cheers...
