[Freeciv-Dev] [patch #3015] Add "citizens" feature to built-in help

[Sveinung Kvilhaugsvik]

Follow-up Comment #7, patch #3015 (project freeciv):

How about using a term like "cultural identity"? Rules ranging from no
assimilation at all to quick assimilation can all use that term without
becoming unrealistic.

Well, you can have a substantial group living and working in a state but not
be citizens (or first-class citizens), if citizenship is restricted by
birth/descent. Also slaves, etc. However:

> So what this new feature is about? Ethnicity?
It's something like that, and I've thought about using those words. Whether or
not these people are legally/constitutionally equal, it seems that when the
chips are down, they're treated differently. (In many ways this is quite a
dark feature, depending on what we do with it.)

Then again, they work and pay taxes to city owning nation, so maybe they are
citizens of it. So what this new feature is about? Ethnicity?

Follow-up Comment #4, patch #3015 (project freeciv):

In some cases "(city) inhabitants" With the new citizenship concept it's clear
that we cannot call all city population points citizens (of city owning
nation) as some of them simply are not.

Follow-up Comment #3, patch #3015 (project freeciv):

I wonder if it wouldn't be helpful get away from using the word "citizen"
altogether since it seems to be tied to multiple concepts and has other
legal/emotional meanings in other contexts.  More descriptive if perhaps less
flavorful replacements could include "city size" and "population unit".

Update of patch #3015 (project freeciv):

 Planned Release:   2.5.0 => 2.4.0,2.5.0

___

Follow-up Comment #2:

Re-adding to 2.4.0 release: feature now does something noticeable (as of patch
#3311).

Still racking my brain for an alternative name to "citizens". I may have to
give up and move the existing use of "citizens" (to mean city population units
in general) to some other term. Not enough words!

Follow-up Comment #1:

Postponing to 2.5: this feature does not yet have much effect on gameplay in
2.4, and this seems unlikely to change, so there's not really anything to
document.

(We may still want to work out what terminology we're using instead of
"citizens" before it escapes, though.)

There's a new game concept of "citizens". It'll need some documentation.

(The word "citizens" is already used extensively in the help, so probably a
word like "nationality" will be better.)
