[Freeciv-Dev] Re: idea: custom nations

["Mike Jing" <miky40@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

This is an excellent idea.  It would certainly solve the "where is my 
favorite nation?" problem.
Since there is nothing much to do during the pregame, it would a good time 
to upload and download custom nation data.  And it would be nice if players 
can choose their nation during pregame.  Currently rulesets (including 
nation data) are loaded after game start, but maybe nations can be 
"preloaded" in order to make this work.
