Greetings.
I want to make a case that this game is missing a central feature, and the absence of this imagined (but required) feature has resulted in another feature being distorted to some extent – the city name. Since there is no other good way of communicating to your neighbours and fellows which type of neighbourly help you would prefer, it has become common practice to put one's preference in, or instead of, the city name.
In my view, there are two sides of the coin that is Elvenar. One is efficiency, and the other aesthetics. To be efficient, you have to sacrifice part of the city name in order to receive the neighbourly help you need. But this doesn't have to be the case – there could quite simply be an option in the menu where you would set up your preferred boost for display, for example in the form of icons or letters somewhere on the screen.
I threw something together in Paint to demonstrate my idea.
What currently looks like this:
Could instead look like this* **:
*I'm sure the elvenar graphic designers would easily make it look infintely better if they tried.
**Of course, it doesn't have to be placed directly beneath the city name, it was just the first convenient spot I happened to think of.
With a feature like this, we could get the boosts we need while having the freedom to name our city whatever we like.
Thoughts?
