Follow-up Comment #6, patch #1413 (project freeciv):

Should have attached a patch in the first place. Here it comes.

Also attaching a second version which adds: "Titles from the default ruleset
may not be used." So these titles will be blocked and must not be redefined
for other governments in nationsets:

Usurper, Chief, King/Queen, Comrade, Consul, and President.

(file #7741, file #7742)

Follow-up Comment #5, patch #1413 (project freeciv):

Kinetic, patch #1414 will partially resolve your issue.

If you report in a new bug a specific nation ruleset/sets which makes
gameplay difficult due to esoteric names, I will look into how it can be
improved. OTOH, you can also see it as an opportunity to learn new languages
and cultures. ;-P

Follow-up Comment #3, patch #1413 (project freeciv):

I don't have anything against the new policy, but I feel like I need to bring
up a related point.

I find it hard to play as, or against, nations that have unpronounceable
names all over. I understand that we want to keep a certain amount of
historical accuracy, and I'm all for that, but when a leader title is not
much more than a translation of 'president' into the native tongue (which
tends to be pretty exotic, with names that have 5+ consecutive consonants and
the like) I have a very hard time saying that in my head, and therefore
remembering that name, whether its the name of a city, leader, or title. Its
nice to be able to know what government a nation is in by the title, but I
don't know that when the title is extremely esoteric and unpronounceable. I
can't keep track of which city is which if I can't even begin to pronounce
the word in my head, most of the time I remember my own cities by some
combination of letters rather than the name because the name makes no sense
to me.

Follow-up Comment #2, patch #1413 (project freeciv):

This is what the proposed version of the policy document has to say about the
second matter:

> A nation may only introduce one new title, but is allowed to use any number
that have already been defined by other nations.

It's a bit clearer I think. As you see there are no restrictions on titles
that are already there. In the case you want to introduce more than that with
a nationset, consider adding these new titles to other nations at the same
time.

BTW, 'President' for Republic wouldn't be allowed according to the other new
policy, since that's the default title for Democracy. ;)

Follow-up Comment #1, patch #1413 (project freeciv):

For your second amendment, do you mean only one title that is not a default
or does not appear in any other nation set?

In other words: can a nation have, say, president (non-default, but already
appears in other nations) for republic and marquess (non-default, and not
other nation has this one yet) for monarchy, or is it only one of both and no
other custom ruler title whatsoever for the same nation? The first restriction
seems sensible to me, but the second one would go a bit too far.

Details:

I'd like to make the following amendments to Freeciv nation policy:

* A ruler title must be unique for a government; e.g. you cannot specify
"President" as the title for all governments in a nationset, which would
defeat the purpose of having ruler titles in the first place.

* A nationset may only introduce one new ruler title; this policy is meant to
put a rein on the current title inflation and ease the translators' burden.
