Well, if you would put that much work in it, it would be much better
if the server would just send the relevant information to the clients
at startup.

It would send a list of all race names. If the client has not already
the flag, it gets also transmitted.

For the city name suggestion, one could make a round-trip package to
ask the server for one. Seems better to me than to compile it into the
client (and my AI-client could use it, too... hehe)
