Hi.
Freeciv's player's names system is very confusing.
One never knows immediately which alias to write in chatline to send private
messages: connection name or nation leader name.
If you click on map with middle button (mouse wheel), you see the connection
name which owns that territory. What for? If when I want to talk I must type
the Leader name ? It is at least inconsistent.
But if it is an observer whom I want to talk to, then there is no leader name,
so I use connection name?
And the name tags inside <...>, very confusing too, for it changes everytime
the leader name changes, so if you read whole log you need to keep track of
who is who.
And at last, as all users perceive it like me, they usually choose the leader
name to be equal to the connection name, with first letter capitalized, and
they required me to do so in a online game which they hosted.
I guess this all needs to be redesigned.
I suggest never using Leader name in anything in the game.
Tks.
