[Freeciv-Dev] [patch #2432] Swedish Leader Update
Update of patch #2432 (project freeciv): Category:None = rulesets Assigned to:None = mixcoatl ___ Follow-up Comment #1: Disclaimer: I'm the one responsible for having Lindh adding to the roster back in '05. :) The thinking was as follows: -Though not 'leader' at the time or her death, she was the minister for foreign affairs and had held other government positions before. -A young and widely liked politician with most of her career in front of her -She was arguably the best candidate for the presidency of the ruling party at the time in case Göran Persson would have stepped down (which he eventually did three years later) -...and then the '06 and '10 general elections might have gone very differently ;) And another comment: The 'Jarl' in 'Birger Jarl' is a title. You'd want to make that either 'Birger Magnusson' or just 'Birger'. ___ Reply to this item at: http://gna.org/patch/?2432 ___ Message sent via/by Gna! http://gna.org/ ___ Freeciv-dev mailing list Freeciv-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/freeciv-dev

Follow-up Comment #2, patch #2432 (project freeciv): I have never heard of him being referenced to (as a ruler) as anything but Birger Jarl, probably because he was never crowned King himself, have you? ___ Reply to this item at: http://gna.org/patch/?2432 ___ Message sent via/by Gna! http://gna.org/ ___ Freeciv-dev mailing list Freeciv-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/freeciv-dev

Follow-up Comment #3, patch #2432 (project freeciv): I think Magnusson is often dropped since it's a patronymic rather than a family name. It's true that he was never crowned king according to history. But he is bound to be in Freeciv! The despotic title for the Swedes is Jarl, so he'll be Birger Jarl at the beginning of the game, but will move on to King Birger or President Birger as the game progresses. ___ Reply to this item at: http://gna.org/patch/?2432 ___ Message sent via/by Gna! http://gna.org/ ___ Freeciv-dev mailing list Freeciv-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/freeciv-dev
