Please do provide gridline and given name town in game map. It is useful for team play to coordinate attack / defence

You can use the "message and sign" or whatever to create a message that shows the player a particular spot when clicked.

It is impossible to rename towns or any other things on random maps.
Since right now renaming is possible only via triggers and thus only on skirmisher maps.
Also this also means that it is left to map creator only.

Well doing partition of enemy town for team player coordination work may not be so direct than given name to the town.

Well for such maps you can manually rename via triggers only each town center you place on the map as map creator (So this variant is still up on map creator).
Alas it requires quite a good amount of time and you still can't rename tcs during game itself. Also such maps have purely preset conditions like:
-Amount of players;
-Starting positions;
-Alliances (you can't even change alliances on these maps);
-Sometimes even races;
Since it is skirmish type map.
For allowing to rename tcs or any other object during game itself will require coding from strarego.

It is worth to put name on the town as a symbolic purpose been conquered and good for a story telling . Like Warhammer fantasy or real life battlefield it is named by a nearby town . Hence create content for After Action Report (AAR) like white wolf magazine or history book written. We are playing a fantasy wargame create a history to back it up.
