[Freeciv-Dev] Re: agents, tiles, puppeteer

[nikodimka <nikodimka@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

May be now someone can answer these questions,
Raimar, are you able to answer?

My real concern is about puppeteer interface to be able
to present changes to unit/city/tile in somewhat readable form.

It would be much better to not just recieve notification
"unit changed, here's how it looks now:" and the full description following
but 
"unit changed, here's the diffs with previous state:" and much shorter readable 
description.

Raimar is the agents guy. He is current overworked on non-freeciv matters,
but I guess he'll answer you when he has time.
