Race name not displaying properly in 1.8.X?

[PapaSmurfReloaded]

It displayed it just fine in 1.6.X. it stopped working from 1.7.X development version onwards.

Spoiler:

Anybody knows what might cause it?

Syntax change(s) between the two versions, I think.

Nice leader for a SX, Awesome ressistances :O

Inmune to magica, equip it with ranged and with a weak mele and you do rampage on them XDDDDDD

I'm guessing it's because of the revolution, where they didn't have magic...

You need to add a key:
plural_name="blablaS"
Not sure when this key was introduced but it's old.

Problem fixed, thank you.

Well, in my case almost all units from nearly all usermade factions are "Aragwathi"!

Same happened to me: most of EoMa's Toads (Dark Blood Alliance) show as Clockwork Dwarves.

I can reproduce it and it's caused by deprecated WML: [race] need an id key, not just a name key. Having multiple races with this error confuse the engine (they all have the same empty id). This change was done 8 months ago and had a warning for some time, but perhaps we should handle it more aggressively. The wiki warns about it, but still claims that name may replace missing id. I will clean this, but UMC authors need to update their WML.

Somehow related to the previous bug, with an additional WML error: Toads units have a race key "saurian", but there is no such race, it should be "lizard".

Note that when you have only have clean UMC, units from an undefined race (like the previous toads) are put in a "Miscellaneous" race section (but any id/name bug breaks this)
