Is it possible to implement hypertext-like function in game messages?
For example, you have message:
CIVIL DISORDER IN SATORAYAUHUELY
(or other strange name), and you don't remeber where this city
is located. You must waste time and mouse to check
this on the find city dialog. This is annoying,
especially on multiplayer timeouted game.
Worse problem is, when you receive information,
that your city was destroyed, and you don't remeber
where it is. City wanished, is absent in find-city list,
you don't see any red dots on overview map... something
is going wrong, but where??? Sounds like dinosaur question -
who is eating me and where ;-)

Is it possible to, for example, underline city name?
Clicking on it will center the map on this city.
This should work also with destroyed city
(reference should be x,y position, not the name).
I think, that such conveneicne will be great improvement
of the game.

Regards,
MC
