Christian The problem is how to define and verify out of business -- even if a politician is out of the international spotlight, they might still be leading a very active political life. That why I think one living leader per nation policy is a good compromise. ~Daniel ___ Freeciv-dev mailing list Freeciv-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/freeciv-dev
[Freeciv-Dev] (PR#36516) soviet.nation patch
URL: http://bugs.freeciv.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=36516 [EMAIL PROTECTED] - Wed Feb 21 06:52:22 2007]: Hi, I made a patch for soviet.nation. Two last leaders added (Chernenko Gorbachev). Also Kollontai was added, soviet diplomat and social feminist (as there are so few females). Thanks, Daniil. Thanks for the patch! More influential females are always welcome. I'd avoid adding Gorbachev though, since he is alive. See doc/README.nations for details about Freeciv nation policy. ~Daniel ___ Freeciv-dev mailing list Freeciv-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/freeciv-dev
