Country names.
« on: September 17, 1999, 01:34:00 PM »
 Guys, we want the country numbers to be in balance. If one country name is clearly preferable to another, the balance will suffer.
 The color designation of WB was perfectly equal if not too exiting. Still communitiy compensited for that (Frogs, Barneys, Oranges). Besides, the color designation is what real military uses (At least Russians did - we were always "Red" fighting "Blues" on our exersises). Also during the Russian civil war they had Red, White, Green, Black and other armies and nobody complained. Sides in American civil war are usually referred to as Blues and Greys.

 I would say that in your current naming scheme the "Knights" sounds much more attractive then "Bishops" or "Rooks" (Rooks would be my preference, but again, I am often a contrarian).
 I suggest you declare a competition for the best naming scheme/country names.
 You have probably already implemented the graphical country chess symbols. Keep them.

 What? Two posts in one day? Ok, ok, I am shutting up...
