[Freeciv-Dev] (PR#38046) default ruler titles, revisited
http://bugs.freeciv.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=38046 > Patch to change default despotism title to Chief. Won't break translations, since "Chief" and "?female:Chief" is already in for example zulu.ruleset. ~Daniel despotism_title.diff Description: Binary data ___ Freeciv-dev mailing list Freeciv-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/freeciv-dev

Or simply 'Chief' might be even better as a general 'cross cultural' term. It's true that meeting up with "Chief George Washington" or "Chief Vladimir Lenin" in the early game is somewhat silly. But then again, so is having covered wagons and little men with bowlers and briefcases in the BCs. ;-) ~Daniel ___ Freeciv-dev mailing list Freeciv-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/freeciv-dev

I think Chieftain is good leader title for pre-monarchy period. Thanks, Daniil. ___ Freeciv-dev mailing list Freeciv-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/freeciv-dev

And if you went further, you would even have different titles for different nations. Prince is awkward because it comes later than dictator, while one would expect something else, maybe despot, if republic and monarchy hasnt been researched, and Prince if monarchy has been researched.

[Freeciv-Dev] (PR#38046) default ruler titles, revisited
http://bugs.freeciv.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=38046 > A year later, I'm still not satisfied with the default despotism title! In most cases, "Dictator" feels IMO clunky and out of place. New suggestion: Prince/Princess This is not a prince in the modern sense, as the offspring of a reigning monarch, but in the classical and medieval sense. The word traces its roots to the Roman Republic, where it meant something like "prime citizen" or just generically "leader". In medieval Europe, a prince was a reigning sovereign of a princely state or "principality", generally smaller than a kingdom or duchy. (Three principalities are still in existence today: Andorra, Lichtenstein and Monaco.) Equivalent terms in other languages include German "Fürst" and Russian "knyaz". ~Daniel ___ Freeciv-dev mailing list Freeciv-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/freeciv-dev
