I think the idea of the present system is that it feels fairly natural
New system described seems klunky, and the obvious fix (add a field for
the destination, either a drop-down or a text box) is missing the point
that people like to just natter away without point-and-click or having
to figure out what the code is for Elizabeth or Hitler.
As I understand it, right now Freeciv aims to make it so that...
--
Elizabeth: German capital is vulnerable: Attack from the south
Mike: Do you have Democracy yet? I am nearly there
Is everyone else on the Southern continent?
--
Sends the first two messages to Elizabeth and Mike respectively and
the last message goes to everyone playing. That seems fair enough.
Nick.
